I feel like writing poems, but I don't have any in me at the moment. Weird and frustrating.
So!
Give me a topic, get a poem! Non-fannish stuff is ok, and so is fannish (if I'm familiar with it).

because
I have the math to prove it
graphed over the P axis (where P is Potential, or Population, or Paradox)
and the time axis is a spiral
and my shaking pencil hand dips and dives a line graph
as we’re chased by glowing robot skeletons into
what was a school ground before it became a breeding ground
for things that eat bones
and my calculations are always immaculate
This is not the best of possible worlds
because
you have arrived with a note I have written and addressed to myself
and I have not met you before
and the note says that there is a cave
and in the cave there is a body
and the body is the woman I was meant to love
and that is why I am lonely
This is not the best of possible worlds
because
my mother sings as she sets me to sleep
my pillow surrounded by reaching jungle vines
printed on children’s wallpaper
and she can’t remember the words
trailing off into humming
nonsense
silence
where there should have been secrets
And the cicadas buzz outside my window
like static scratching
proof that we have used this moment before
and the tape is wearing thinner
and the resolution is no longer enough to contain our perfect moments

Or maybe one about Vril, because Vril + poetry = ???
From:

And Vril's been burned but boy he's earned his reputation mean
Much of his fame is from the name he inherited pre-tainted
And so to spite his own birthright he set out to be sainted
Then in his soul he set a goal of peace across the 'verse
But the peace he brings always makes things many magnitudes of worse
See, he viewed the ground that spins around each glowing gaseous ball
And Vril's decree was that he'd be the biggest bastard on it all

WTF?
It is, uh, written with apologies to Robert Service! I don't know if there's a name for the form, but if you'd gone to a Canadian elementary school it would be drilled into your skull.

I'm not sure "deprived" is the word ;p
From:

Maybe we would've had time for it if I hadn't spent so much time arguing with the teacher that it was totally okay to start sentences with "And."
From:
no subject
And I start SO MANY sentences with "and". :) So I'm on your side there. But I suppose it's a moot point now. ;)
