That lard is so hard on the heart,
You'll go on the undertaker's cart,
Lard's worse than the bacon
And that you've been takin'
Can't imagine your nutritional chart.

But nothing is better for chard
than cooking with bacon in lard.
This way it's not bland
It's good for you and
I'm winning by playing this card.

He hand is out of the toilet
Into the pit he will plummet.
I look down at him
mirth full to the brim
Pretty soon he will resemble Piglet.

 

[Vinayaka]

He's addicted to bacon, he is!
He thinks all the pigs are just his,
I'm sure we'll hear,
His words, they are near,
Sure as pop bubbles do fizz.

Its all about the Vinny
he hasn't got a penny
no not a penny
no not that Vinny
awesome I win E

 

[te_lanus]

I win. That's all there is to it

 

[Wu Wei]

I know that I win
Your end is nigh
And that is no sin
Don’t even try
Don’t even begin
I wouldn’t lie
Don’t start, give up, and give in

Poetry is done
That was fun
now you know
I must go

 

[Revoltingest]

Our poetry never is done
because it's a barrel of fun.
Quit if you want.
You'll bear the brunt
of doggerel aimed like a gun!

Fall victors now turn
Wind catcher flies over Mt. Fuji
Win is indeed mine.

A difficult form has haiku.
Syllabic design they eschew
To cut up a word
into morae's absurd.
I can't figure out what to do.

 

[sun rise]

Wikipedia spaketh and said.
So I trod where they led
you can too
or be blue.
Let this go to your head.

In 1973, the Haiku Society of America noted that the norm for writers of haiku in English was to use 17 syllables, but they also noted a trend toward shorter haiku.[8]

Some translators of Japanese poetry have noted that about 12 syllables in English approximate the duration of 17 Japanese on

 

[Wu Wei]

You are all silly
give up while you have a chance
the winner is here

Haiku I like best
It is just ever so cool
I leave like the wind

 

[Vinayaka]

I'll stick with the trusty old limerick
It was built for humour, it's magic!
It wins every time,
So easy to rhyme,
And we get to read Revvy Boy's, schtick!

 

[sun rise]

This thread is getting hugely epic
and this post is not a limerick.

Some write a poetic epigram
I measure words by the dram.

A ghazal I might write
if my thoughts take flight.

Renga or rondeau
is in my bureau.

But do not now pout
I need to go out.

 

[Revoltingest]

My shirts aren't all that's Hawaiian.
There's pizza I recommend try'n.
With pineapple and
some lean salty ham,
I'm winning now...there's no deny'n!

Atheist Capitalist Engineer Landlord Libertarian.
What an utterly confused Scottish derived contrarian.
He claims a win.
It's political spin.
Maybe he will some day rise above the merely proletarian.

Has Sunrise noticed he's a dog?
Has Wirey sobered up from grog?
Wu's a bear.
Staff's unfair.
And I've a thread about a frog!

 

[Brickjectivity]

one more time so's you all gets it
Brick is the one who outwits it
don't try to think twice
in hell's paradise
bricks can't be beat its forensic

In our house, dogs always rule
Disagree and play the fool.
Sit up and nicely beg
or be bit on the leg.
And be good in canine school.
