Origional
What does man love more than life
Fear more than death or mortal strife
What the poor have, the rich require,
and what contented men desire,
What the miser spends and the spendthrift saves
And all men carry to their graves?
I counter this with
I love my girl more than life
I fear god more than death or mortal strife,
The poor have God and Air to breath
The rich require gods love decree
Contended men with him will be,
The miser spend his fortune here
the spendthrift gains his enter there,
All men can bring is to their grave
The love of god, of they he saves.

I don't write poems, but <a href='http://www.another-world.org.uk/spacer/mifinalscreen.gif' target='_blank'>http://www.another-world.org.uk/spacer/mifinalscreen.gif</a> is one of the most poetic things evr~.
you keep the Poetic Rhyme scheme
You keep the Rhthym + basecount
ect
You keep one or two things and you will "recognize" it from another poem
But not with mustard.</i>
I counter this with:
<i>I like mustard,
But not with custard.</i>
Yes.
I think it's the whole ripping off other people's stuff that does it, really.
AND poems you've heard
AND poems you've made poems about
AND poems you've made based off other poems
It's not a rip off if you simply use it's rhythmic structure
Permit poets to be
Poetically minded.
Creativity?
It is not easy
To structure such sentences
With consistency.
So for this Tycho
Should be commended greatly
Or instead ignored?
Heh actually
This is kind of fun I think
Perhaps not to read...
the answer being 'nothing'

Perfect time for a haiku.

A haiku would not work well here
(I can imagine your sneer)
They don't rhyme at all
And I guess they're to small
So I've written a limerick. Now cheer!
Couplet Poem
Why am I stuck at home
Making this stupid couplet poem?
Writing poetry is retarded,
Many experts have charted.
Out of ten poems, this is my last,
This stupid packet will soon be in the past.
One more line after this
I’m finished now, finally I can go ****.
My teacher wasn't too pleased with the last line, as you can probably expect...
life is always followed by death
by me
we spoke all day
until late into the night
then i told you how i felt
but to you i wasnt right
i tried to get back on track
we tried to be friends after
we spoke a little here and there
but never again we shared our laughter
i became who you wanted
but it was all a lie
a year and a half wasted
before i grew up and said goodbye
i see you once in a while
life slows like a snail
i am reminded of my wrongs
no one else will i ever fail
our friendship became more
i held you close and shut my eyes
now you say we should go back
but to that my hope dies
i know what you say is funny
but i fake laugh to hide
that deep down in me
im truly dead inside
there i was, broken and twisted
when you came and spoke your name
months flew by, our happiness grew
and now i see that love isnt a game
i am finally here with you
ive come through times of strife
and now that im here i realize
after death its better than life

The <span style='color:lightbrown'>Monsters</span> can't stop me with Card of Phen,

Violets are blue.
Poems are stupid and so are you.
I walk along a road one night
When I happen upon a woman in a terrible plight
She screams for help, she screams for mercy
She whimpers that she has kids in a nursery
I stop and I listen and I wonder about her condition
I could go see what is the matter but I may end up in perdition
I continue upon my way none the wiser
For in my hand I have a Budweiser
Damn I'm good. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

That's not a limerick. Stick with haikus instead.
<i>This</i> is a limerick:
An off-topic poster called Tycho
Posted poems with narry a typo.
In only haikus
He replied "for teh lewse"
And continued to drive people psycho.
seems to brighten up my day.
You are my shining star above,
perfect in every way.
No matter where I am, what I do,
or what I try to say,
One thing always stays with me -
how you love me in that way.
