This Poem is made by me... Dont laugh at it, it is supposed to be random

I Hate Poetry, [LK1] What is the reason for it being here? Don’t people have better things to do with their time? Why sit and rhyme words together when you can be doing something productive like work? The only way I would find poetry amusing is if someone would figure something that rhymes with orange. To that I would say good luck.

You’re going to need a lot of luck, Because in poetry, Nothing rhymes with orange No matter where you put in the sentence, over there or right here, You just can’t get it to rhyme. Why has no one gotten it to work? Because no one has the time.

Well, now it’s time. It’s time to figure out what rhymes with orange. So wish me luck. I already have an idea; I came up with it just now. I hope it works. If it does, this will be a new milestone in the history of poetry. <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">I thought of it right now right here. <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Smorange… [LK2] <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">That rhymes with Orange.

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Smorange…………and… Orange <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Sure it’s not perfect, or even a real word, but it works… Time! <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">I know I just put the word time there randomly but who cares. There is no rule against it if I wanted, I could put it here. <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">But I won’t, However, I will put a random word here… Luck! <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">I can put any word anywhere I want. This is poetry. <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">There are no rules to what I can do. It doesn’t need to rhyme or overall even work.

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Why doesn’t it have to work? <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">If you are stupid enough to ask that question… then you are the world’s worst listener. Now back to the rhyming of the word orange <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">In poetry, if I want smorange to be a word to rhyme with orange, nothing is stopping me. Thank you poetry. <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">If you’re reading this then congratulations, you just wasted about 30 seconds of your time. <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">The fact that you are still reading this is just sad. You are so unlucky to have such time to read this poem. Sooo unlucky <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Here, let me make this less boring. Take a pen and circle the word here at the end of this line, you will get a special prize… HERE

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Congratulations, you got a special surprise, the poem now has a red circle on it. Want to make another one? Circle HERE. <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">So remember, in poetry, anything works <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Do whatever you want, I just hope you have better luck. <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">And also remember, Smorange is now a word to rhyme with orange <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Now stop wasting your time, <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">And go write poetry

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Here is an orange <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Not really, but remember, work hard, be random, don’t waste time. <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Good luck, now go write poetry.


 * 1) [LK1] Line break
 * 2) The end of a line in the poem
 * 3) The way the line breaks in the poem add meaning is because if you notice, there is a punctuation mark/ comma at the end of each line. The reason is that I didn’t want people to rush through the line breaks but instead slow down and read the poem thoroughly. The reason for that is because the slower they read the poem, the more time they waste which is one of the overall jokes at the end.
 * 4) [LK2] Cool vivid word
 * 5) A word that is very unusual but works in the poem.
 * 6) This word helps bring meaning to my poem because it adds the real start to the more random part of the poem. It does this by being funny, which was the overall goal I was trying to accomplish when writing this poem. Smorange, doesn’t it just make you chuckle even thinking about it.

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Lars, [LK1] <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Architect <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Ready, set,… wait what, Sorry I blanked out. <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Swedish

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Krazy <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Rats are awesome. (Pet rats) <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Underappreciated… JK <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Uhh [LK2] <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">! Is this poem over yet? <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Suckish poem writer


 * 1) [LK1] Speaker
 * 2) Who is telling the poem/ from who’s perspective
 * 3) The reason for this adding meaning is that while in usual cases at the end of each poem it would say by …. And so assuming that, the reader would be able to figure out that the author, in this case me, am describing myself by making the first word in this poem my own name.
 * 4) [LK2] Onomonopia
 * 5) A word describing an action
 * 6) This adds meaning to the poem because first of all its humorous and second of all it lets the reader know to what extent I hate poetry, so much so that I could groan with boredom.

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">And towards our distant rest began to trudge. <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Gas! Gas! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling, <span style="font-family: 'bookman old style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time [LK1] <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">; <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">But someone still was yelling out and stumbling <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime [LK2] <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">... <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light, <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">In all my dreams, before my helpless sight, <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">If in some smothering dreams you too could pace <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Behind the wagon that we flung him in, <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin; <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,— <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">My friend, you would not tell with such high zest <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">To children ardent for some desperate glory, <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 13px;">The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.


 * 1) [LK1] Situation
 * 2) What is going on in the poem at the time
 * 3) In this case, what is happening is the soldiers are trying to get gas masks on before dying. This adds meaning to the poem because it shows you how scared these soldiers were of the gas based on how quickly they got them on.
 * 4) [LK2] Simile
 * 5) Something used to describe something else while using like or as.
 * 6) This adds meaning to the poem because it describes a man flopping around as he dies of the poisonous gas.

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori: It's sweet and delicious to die for ones country.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14px;">Machines By <span style="color: #0a50a1; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14px; text-decoration: none;">[|Michael Donaghy]

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14px;">Dearest, note how these two are alike:

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14px;">This harpsicord pavane by Purcell

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14px;">And the racer’s twelve-speed bike.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14px;">The machinery of grace is always simple.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14px;">This chrome trapezoid, one wheel connected

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14px;">To another of concentric gears,

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14px;">Which Ptolemy dreamt of and Schwinn perfected,

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14px;">Is gone. The cyclist, not the cycle, steers.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14px;">And in the playing, Purcell’s chords are played away.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14px;">So this talk, or touch if I were there,

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14px;">Should work its effortless gadgetry of love,

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14px;">Like Dante’s heaven, and melt into the air.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14px;">If it doesn’t, of course, I’ve fallen. So much is chance,

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14px;">So much agility, desire, and feverish care,

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14px;">As bicyclists and harpsicordists prove

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14px;">Who only by moving can balance,

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14px;">Only by balancing move.
