A Shiny change, LP,
Whom used to be River,
But a thought that has struck me,
The likes to make of me shiver;

Why is it, pray tell,
That your name,
What is chosen,
Spins a tale of a Leopard,
Which a-feared the heart, makes it frozen-
Why the cat?
Why not a Hat?
Or one with a Moustache?

-Danny

Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now controls the past
Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now?

Now testify
Testify
It's right outside our door
Now testify
Testify
It's right outside our door

Why choose the leopard?
Because the mighty feline
Is within my soul.

The leopard
Lying in wait
High above
Hidden
In the leaves
Of a tree
Then
The leap down
Upon the helpless prey
A bite
Crushing the neck
Ending the stuggle.

Powerful and sleek
Strikes as quickly as lightning
Queen of her kingdom.

An edit, here:
I have changed
The title of this thread
Using Steamer's idea
For this thread
Has grown
And could well prove
To become a series
And, a series of threads
Has to have
A common name,
Don't they?

A post, a post
Where has everyone gone?
Have you all become
Derelict ghosts?

We must not let
This thread die
Even if
It is only I
Who will revive it
From time to time

Yes, silence in this thread while you were away was a bit of an issue,
But I think it probably speaks to how much we missue.
I did my level best to keep it alive,
And while it didn't exactly thrive,
At least there was no utter lack of imagination
To decrease the time needed for pagination.
And yowzee! I never would have even caught the title edit
Had you not said it.
But friends, Browncoats, countrymen, it goes without saying that life is unfair
(He preached to the choir as they all fixed him with a collective no-shit-Sherlock sort of stare),
So instead of less talking and instead being terse,
Why not put it into verse?
Doesn't have to be steeped in lightness or darkness
Or anapestic or iambic or richness or starkness.
Or rhyme, for all I care;
Whatever you find easier to bear.

Swirligigs and gigs of swirl
A whirl, a turn and a twirl
A bit of friendly nonsense
While I try to make a story make sense
Yes, I'm giving this rhyming gig a try
Just don't fall over and, of shock, die
Lololol
Would I rhyme that with an "oud" or an "ol"?

And yet another bump
While wondering
Has everyone been digested
Into some giant lump?

If there is indeed a giant lump, it feels like one exists in my brain pan.
This evening at work, you see, didn't make me any more of a migraine fan.
I already felt one coming on even before I reported
Which progressed quicker and quicker the more tank cars I sorted;
Of stress levels and cold dry air it was probably indicative
And as the night wore on it made me altogether sickative.
Right now I can't think of nearly enough words
To express the total tonnage of my contention that this nighttime railroading fei-hua is for the birds.
So, in the hopes that reading the work of a fellow poet
Will do away with the headache before I knoet,
LF, I have to say it gave me a smile
To see you go the extra rhyming mile.
You could probably rhyme "Lololol" with an "ol" if you really wanted to give a new height of geekiness a berth,
For if you ask me, the geek shall inherit the earth.
But right now it's almost 7 AM and the geek needs to go to bed
And hopefully sleep off the migraine before it implodes his head,
For that would not be pleasant for the next couple of free days otherwise affording
Several euphoric hours of snowboarding.
But hey! Folks! Let's see some more verse already!
Let's see this thread get more....well....thready!

I'm glad that you've gotten a smile extra
For I see (read?) that you sorely needed it
Hmmm... now I'm slightly stuck
For I don't know what would rhyme with "it"
Oh! I know! Let's make a mention of Cousin It!
And, of course, include the rest of the family too
For the wonderfully wacky things they do.

But, alas, I must scurry
Flitter, flutter, and flee
So adios, my friend
And see you next time around the bend.

I shall be working extra hard to keep this thread alive
So every day, in I shall dive
And bump this thread, whether anyone likes it or not
Though it would really be nice for some company (even a love-bot *lol*)

And Steamer, I hope you will be able to have fun
On your snowboarding trip
Also, I envy you your skill
For if I tried to snowboard
Why, I would do a flip!
(literally. painfully literally)

Even though loading the site
Seems to be taking all night,
This is me keeping you company
And aiding in the thread bumpany
In the hopes that we might entice some more of the poetical types to return
Before the sea might boil and the land burn.
While everybody else is jabbering about 10,000 B.C.'s
Comparability to mastodon feces,
It's interesting you mention the family Addams
For it brings back such fond memories of dressing as Uncle Fester when I was in eighth grade and the movie was all the faddums.
Thank you for your well-wishes for my ventures snow-encrusted;
I am pleased and joyed to report that I made it to the bottom of the mountain without anything busted
Which is a far cry from the first act
When I was fortunate to make it to the bottom of the practise trail with my skull intact.
Not a one of us ever made it to double-diamond cruising
Without a little bit of initial bumping and bruising,
And the fact is it wasn't all that long ago that I undertook it
But today marked the first time that I was really able to book it.
How goes the story - fit for the eyes?
Do we get to watch how it soars, or glides, or flies?
Much as you one day might
When that inevitable day arrives when your writing will surely take flight?
