Two roads in the woods.
I took the less-travelled one.
That made the difference.
Snow falls in the woods.
I stop a while here and watch.
Still a long way home.
John Donne:
See this little flea?
It just bit both me and you,
So let’s have sex now.
I’m about to die,
And I look like a flat map.
Soon I’ll be in heaven.
Matthew Arnold:
Hey, look at the sea,
It’s really depressing me.
God, the world sucks.
Wilfred Owen:
War is hell, you know.
That “Dulce et decorum
Est” thing is bullshit.
Robert Browning:
That picture up there
Is my late wife. Ain’t she grand?
Too bad I killed her.
The six hundred rode
Into the valley of death
But not out again
Poe…
My true Love has died
But I still lay by her side
My Annabel Lee
All the seas gang dry
And rocks melt in the sun dear
Still I will love you
Pondering Lenore
Interrupted by a strange
raven. “Nevermore!”
Offering from a co-worker reading this thread:
Dark desert highway
Smell of colitas in air
Check-out is useless
Ogden Nash
Even the first man,
our ancestor in Eden,
was a host to fleas.
Peregrine, that must be the only poem in the world that’s longer when you turn it into a haiku. Well done!
More Shakespeare:
If, when you are old,
You still don’t have any kids,
That would really suck.
You are a lot like
A beautiful summer day,
But you’ll last longer.
My friend boffed my girl,
But he and I are the same,
So she still loves me.
I’m getting old now,
And will probably die soon.
You should love me more.
Love is a fever,
And I don’t want to be cured.
It’s driving me nuts.
Venus and Adonis
The protagonists
Almost have sex many times,
Then a boar kills him.
The Rape of Lucrece
Tarquin rapes Lucrece,
And she feels really guilty,
So she stabs herself.
Help me…I’m addicted… :eek: 
A: Alice, who died.
Twenty-five other kids, too.
Alphabet tragique.
Stop all the clocks and
Put out moon and stars and sun.
He’s dead and it sucks.
Some REAL Robert Burns:
Wi’ joctelegs auld
guid-wife’s kiutlin weel-hoordit
staw frae ‘mang them a’
Heh heh heh.
Over lips, past gums
A stomach given notice
Unnamed arriving
archy was a bug
he typed by jumping on keys
very ambitious
