Lotsa pasta

A researcher's day

For users

Tubby

Morphing in what it has consumed

It's still cuter than I assumed

This feline fabric grey plushy

Am hungry, gimme a munchy!

Remains are regurgitated

Mostly organic related

It's jaw still ever so stretchy

Am hungry, gimme a munchy!

Soul devourer, corpse consumer

For some biscuits, GoI defuser

The good ones, so crisp and crunchy

Am hungry, gimme a munchy!

This weird dark creature will claim all

That mentions it's name big or small

Don't speak nor write. Really, do none.

Be aware of two five two one

It'll come to you, in any place

No escape from this sweet embrace

You tried hard, still fail to outrun

Be aware of two five two one

I do hope, that it won't claim prose

It entangles me, holds me close

Oh, no! Please, stop! I'm not yet done!

Be aware of two five two one

Kind of requested in the sense that Calibri likes them and asked me if I tried it before. I didn't so here are my first limericks.

No One Expects The Spanish Decommission!

The most beautiful Spanish ship

Gave the economy a dip

Wants some silver, some gold

Reduced to ashes' cold

Decommissioned, a last sea trip

The ninth time though, it didn't live to tell

Lotsa pasta

Linguini, capellini, and fettuccini

Mamma mia, make it stop. Please, basta!

Tortellini, rigatoni, and rotini

Linguini, capellini, and fettuccini

Now bigoli, gigli, what is mostaccioli?

Tortellini, rigatoni, and rotini

Damn, why is this pasta so goddamn wriggly?

Now bigoli, gigli, what is mostaccioli?

Oh, great the lose spaghetti can now talk

Damn, why is this pasta so goddamn wriggly?

A researcher’s day

Raindrops wake me, in every fiber of my being.

Except my mind, there I'm still dreaming.

I take a cup of tea, it's too early and too grey.

So somber, so weak, what a horrible day.

I put on my coat, hood over my head.

Damn this rain, I want to go back to bed.

I get in my car and start the tires.

Arrived at last, the caffeine expires.

I turn in my coat for a whiter one.

Must focus, procedure has begun.

Needed here to observe a test.

But I cannot help to feel stressed.

Subject keeps getting stranger.

Don't provoke, D-class in danger.

Containment breached, stupid keter.

Results lost, all in the ether.

Got to control room, with little time bought.

Called for help, anomaly caught.

Explained to highers and senior.

No idea, why it's keener.

It's murderous but in very bad shape.

How the hell did it manage to escape?

It can't leave site, security max degree.

But why do I think it's already free?

Going back home like the rest of the staff.

Can't help but to inner laugh.

Oh my, how they can't see…

That I'm part of this SCP.

Inspired by: A poem I wrote earlier for the wiki in basic AABB. Didn't post it because other things came up. I figured I could put it here instead of forgetting it.

ManyMeats

Meat Meat Meat Meat Meat

Meat Meat Meat Meat Meat Meat Meat

Meat Meat Meat Meat Meat

In honor of ManyMeats. How the hell did this come out of IRC? Still, what a great guy.

Used formats

Close formats

I did not necessarily stay true to these formats, but that also is the beauty of freedom poetry brings.

Kyrielle: A French form in quatrains with 8 syllables per line that have AABB rhyme. Each quatrain must end with the same line. Fourth line gets repeated, all 3rd and 4th lines rhyme.

Phantoum: Quatrains where the second and fourth line become the first and the third line in the following quatrain. In the last quatrain the second and fourth line are the first and third of the first quatrain. Every line gets used twice. ABAB rhyme.

Limerick: They only have 5 lines but they do count syllables and rhyme (AABBA). The most commonly known limericks are probably nursery rhymes.

Butterfly: 9 lines with 2-4-6-8-2-8-6-4-2 syllable count.

Haiku: Japanese form, 3 lines, 5-7-5 syllables
