He was warrior and mystic, ogre and saint, the fox and the innocent, chivalrous, ruthless, less than a god, more than a man.

crossposting from the pyf forums quotes thread because these were posted as part of an off topic tangent about slam poetry. i hadn't ever really written poetry before, but whilst pretty inebriated I decided to try out slam poetry at open mic night at my local bar. this was the result:
quote:
my dog was in the yard
DOG
man's best friend
FRIENDS FOREVER
in the yard
eating cat food out of an old can under the deck
old cans, new cans,
CATS
opposite of dogs
OLD
opposite of new
took the can away from my dog
my dog
my friend
best friend
and he BIT me
...the opposite of a friend
it was extremely well received (or so i was told as i barely remember getting onstage and performing it) so a week or two later I tried out another:
quote:
summertime
and staten island is fuckin' SLEAZY
clove lakes park is gross
but when i'm stoned
it's NICE
and kinda BREEZY
a good place... for my dog
good places
wide open spaces
spaces... for my dog
spaces where he is FREE
to STOP and DROP his PEE
right next to a duck
he steps in mud
he eats a bug
he swats a turtle
he is a pug
a pug in wide open spaces
in skeevy staten island places
places where my pug can pee
he drinks from the stream
he pukes in the stream
frogs gently caress in that stream
man, gently caress that stream
gently caress that stream where my pug pukes and pees
sometimes in the park
i have to pee
but i can't
because some little kid might see
but kids don't care when pugs pee
pugs are free
free to pee
in all those
cool and nasty places
i didn't remember performing this one either, a friend just found the napkin i wrote it down on and sent it to me, she said this one was just as well received by the audience. i wish i remembered 
i like them, and the folks in the forum quotes thread seem to like them too. i think i'm gonna try writing more poetry
