you poems

Welcome to the Sunday Mangled poem.  Every week I post a mangled poem sometimes it’s something simple with no point other than to point out that there are some terrible poems out there or to demonstrate just how badly I can do poetry.  I do this in celebration of some of the published poems I have read that make my brain hurt. This week’s mangled poem is an Ode to the Ode.  The Ode is a rhymed post of irregular meter that praises its subject.  The English ode consists of an undefined number of 10 line stanzas (E-how).  To begin we pick a subject we want to write an Ode about generally this is something worthy of an ode but as this is mangled poetry it can be something a little less worthy of such a tribute.  Now comes rhyming the rhyming of an ode is complex enough to make a limerick look tame.  The rhyme scheme is ababcdecde and I’ll try to break down the rhyming pattern further in my ode: “Ode to Car”.  One difficulty I had to keep an eye out for is the tendency to lose track of what you’re talking about in poems. I’ve had to constantly pull my thoughts back and shout to myself “You’re writing an ODE to a car that means you LOVE the car!” it didn’t help,  but I know you’ll do better than I and I look forward to it. Line 1:       We drive the car (a)Line 2:       It drives real cool (b)Line 3:       We take it far (a)Line 4:       It makes us drool (b)Line 5:       There’s no problem where I’m at (c)Line 6:       The car can take me somewhere nice (d)Line 7:       Cars like this are heaven sent (e)Line 8:       The motor rumbles like a cat (c)Line 9:       This monster is almost worth the price. (d)Line 10:      When in this car I am content. (e) I hope you like my Ode to Cars. I look forward to your poems this has potential to be some of the absolute best yet it looks intimidating but I think if you give yourself to it it’ll be a lot of fun. I’ve also heard that you can make an ode out of pretty much anything and that rhyme scheme matters a lot less “in today’s society” and it’s  an ode as long as you mention “ode” in the title. Convenience at my finger tips. I turn the faucet onWater spurts. I wet my lipsHot water for my bath I’ve drawn. Water hot as hell. Bubbles added creating froth. Doors locked in anticipation. Fragrance of flowers begin to swell. Like a flame I’m an entranced moth. I step in to the bath my elation station.

As you near the end of PD30 you may be wondering what to do with all of the poems you have written. You can submit them to contests and publications or cover. You can also create a chapbook. Chapbooks are very common among self-publishing poets and small presses because they are both easy to create and inexpensive to create especially if you have some desktop publishing skill.

By folding the sheets of paper a hit sheet yields four pages of a chapbook. These pages are well suited to the length of a fifteen to twenty-five line poem. Once the pages are printed and folded you attach the multiple pages together by stapling along the crease of the sheets of paper. Using this method eight sheets of paper can create a thirty-two page chapbook. Because of the limitations of the stapling and folding process chapbooks tend to run about thirty-two pages and rarely more than sixty-four pages. In addition to standard sheets of paper you may wish to create a cover using thicker (and perhaps glossy) cover-stock paper. Chapbooks can be created cheaply using a computer a word processing or desktop publishing program and a printer. Once the pages are set up properly you can produce as many or as few books as you be.

“A veteran - whether active duty retired national guard or reserve - is someone who at one point in his or her life wrote a blank check made payable to The 'United States of America' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'” (Author unknown) Washington are you create from raw material for change real dress? will bring that change. Washington's Governors Office has been held by one party for too long and we have paid for it in restrictive taxes and limited services elsewhere outside of the Puget Sound. If we want real change it is time to replace the Democrats not only in the governors office but in the legislature as well. It is both my privilege and an honor to post this poem by request by Forrest Langley. Pfc (ret) United States Army. For those that do not know Forrest he is the 41 year old who enlisted in the Army to fight in the War on Terror and has suffered traumatic brain injury due to multiple IED explosions. He has now started this to raise money to back up other families of Veterans who have been wounded and are waiting dissemination of their claims by the VA which as we all know can get drawn out at times. Feel free to pass this along to any others you desire as he requested I do. Battle CryO` The depths of wars horrors to others are unknown,I have no vocabulary to explain; I just sigh and emit,Soldiers died now their families no more will them see,They bled and died O the awesome cost for your liberty. The IED Blasts caused soldiers brain damage; now blasted insane,Post Traumatic Stress disorder causes Soldiers to be deranged,The person I was before the war that person doesn’t exist anymore,When im alone I cry rivers. O god my God the unseen horrors of war. The cries of the children for their father; silent dead in his grave,Yet he died a hero His humvee exploded in flames he died very defy,~Kaboom~ horror settles upon them like a terrible color nightmare,Numb by the bomb blast. His legs blown off just too much for him to bear. From war soldiers come home and see ghosts that no one else can see,Traumatic nightmares and flashbacks just will not let them go free,They rode and they marched and seen comrades blown slam apart,The depths and horrors of war. Cries of families with a broken heart. From the Army disabled Soldiers are discharged with such little pay,Spouse has to quit work and stay home her lost soldier is just not ok,Black darkened gloom set in the money we have wont make ends meet,O Will we lose our land car and home and have to live on the street? The Terrors of Wars horrors don’t end they’re comfort haunting us today,Lord God let me go home from wars terrors please help me this day. Please don’t construe me all this is a pleasant misery I do endure,a great honor to sacrifice for my country to make freedom more sure. Please donate to “independence fund” for soldiers and there families show them you care. The wounded and dead soldier’s families are in poverty depression and despair. Before they went to war and fought for your freedom they had plenty and not one need. This brain injured soldier begs your help for wounded and dead soldier’s families. Poem written by Forrest Langley to raise funds for the wounded and soldiers who have fallen families. Go to to donateA message from Forrest LangleyWhen I was discharged from the Army they only gave me a 40% disability rating even though I had Traumatic Brain Injury ptsd along with many other ailments. That gave us 673.00 dollars a month. My wife had to quit her job to take compassionate of me. I have 2 children to take care of. We spent the savings we had and almost lost our home car land and most everything. They’re thousands upon thousands of soldiers in this shape. Please I beg you to help the wounded and there families. I became suicidal because of all the things that had come upon me at once. Your soldiers are bleeding and dying upon the battlefield for you. It is your duty to help them bear the burden as they bore the burden of war for you. May God bless America I have wrote a lot of other poems if you desire this or are interested in other write me at. Forrest langley@us army mil Not one dime of this money goes to me. I don’t need it.

They lie buried in places where language isn’t so self-conscious as ‘real poetry’ often is.
