Hey! It looks like you're new here. You might want to check out the introduction.

Hey Ocean and Water were both written years ago. Everything else I wrote in one frenzied night where I rediscovered my love of poetry. As evidenced by my asking you where the rules were, I didn't notice that until after I had submitted all my entries. I won't do it again, and if you want to disqualify those two entries I completely understand. Project Habbakuk would move up from 4th to 3rd place then, so it doesn't really change anything.

You are correct, Super Trampoline.

Lol, do you live near Pittsburgh? I know you're east coast. If you do, have you been to Kennywood?
>>GroaningGreyAgony
This gives me flashbacks to when I was super into Christian apologetics.

Now you know why I'm always carrying a water bottle around at pony conventions you see me at.

>>GroaningGreyAgony
Thanks. I don't think I'm actually prediabetic, but I certainly do need to lose more weight still. And I'm super glad you're doing better now!

You're good at this poetry thing!

Lol this is a song I wrote when I was like 16 (I'm 28 now). It was easy to find since I've transferred most of my lyrics and chord charts onto Google drive.

· on The Last Thing You Ever Said to Me Was "Suck My Cock".
>>Pascoite
This was directly inspired by CrispySparrow's spiraling descent into shittyness this which directly led to my friend having to give away her dog.
#24584 ·
· on In Hawaii They Serve It With Milk
>>Pascoite
This poem is also 100% true.
>>GroaningGreyAgony
Yeah I miss it too.
#24583 ·
· on Hey Ocean · >>RogerDodger
>>Light_Striker
Boy do I have good news for you! (I really should rerecord a better version)

>>Pascoite
Yeah, it's about coming back to an old romance and trying to make things work out this time, but in the end it just isn't meant to be.

· on Waterlogged
>>Light_Striker
Indeed, this was planned as a haiku, but restrictions often breed creativity, as happened here!

>>GroaningGreyAgony
A 4 6 4 haiku? Truly you are a mad lad!
#24581 ·
· on I Thought She Was Singing About His Poor Circulation. She Wasn't
>>Light_Striker
>>Pascoite
Everything in this poem is 100% true, by the way.

>>GroaningGreyAgony
lol nice lyrics drop. There's also of course the Classic IV song "Spooky" as well.

I really want to run a limerick contest later this year.

· on Truth
>>GroaningGreyAgony
As evidenced by the fecundity of my entries, I found this way easier to write than longer prose entries.
#24578 ·
· on I Bet Henry Kissinger Does Too
>>Light_Striker yeah, as an anti-fascist, I know all about the whole 1488 thing. I'm really glad this poem didn't have seven more words because that would have been unintentionally awkward. Anyway yeah this one isn't meant to be taken too seriously.

But still, fuck Henry Kissinger.

>>Pascoite
Yeah, not my best entry, but it was fun to write.

>>GroaningGreyAgony
exactly.

· on Project Habakkuk
>>Light_Striker
Glad you enjoyed

>>Pascoite Honestly, I mostly just wanted to write about how badass pykrete is. And yes, Project Habakkuk is what the shipbuilding project was called. They never built more than a 70-foot long proof of concept on a lake in Canada, but even that still took three years to melt completely.

>>GroaningGreyAgony
Yeah, WWII was filled with crazy schemes. Of course, the craziest of them all ended up taking a major part in finally ending it. (The USSR invading Manchuria was the other big motivation)

If you ever get a chance to see Hey Ocean live, definitely do; they’ve got a cool sound and Ashley also plays rock flute!

Given the mention of fanfiction.net, a site infamous for the low quality of its content, this might be more referencing the often amateurish nature of cross-franchise crackships written by inexperienced authors in general.
#24556 ·
· on The Last Thing You Ever Said to Me Was "Suck My Cock".
This has big pop-punk energy
#24519 ·
· on Slow Nice Sleeping
>>Light_Striker
Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
#24518 ·
· on We Sink, We Rise
Boy, it's been a hot minute since I've read an Italian sonnet. Or been to the beach for that matter. I live near the beach, after Covid I should try to go more often.

Anyway, other than the hella awkward overhanging transition sentence, a nice little poem.
#24516 ·
· on Wow I Actually Caught the Writing Portion of a Writeoff For Once
Given that this is the only poem in this round of the Writeoff that has an expletive, and Super Trampoline explicitly asked about expletives in the Writeoff Discord server, I'm guessing he wrote this.

Wait.

Oh.

Oops.

I think this is about... dirt? The ground?
#24513 ·
· on Waterlogged
Well, it's certainly concise.

· on In Hawaii They Serve It With Milk
Man, this just makes me miss Hawaii. I need to get my shit together so I can afford to go back there since my mom has a timeshare there.
