One two three four, a parody of Bannibal's four lessons:
Poetic Clean-up
On a beauteous day at a family picnic
I have to bow out for a drunken sick
Please read this careful, it clever and obscure
No one knows porcelain like a drunk internet whore.
Diary of a Troll
Switching accounts causes me to sweat
They'll ne'er recognize me now I'll bet
I hide the hand that tips off the mind
I'm stupid and insane, hope the readers are blind!
But my hemorrhoids aching deep and strong
Perhaps I have sat in this chair too long
Satan's corpse
I found a devil in my own back yard
And hit him with my shovel HARD
But finding he was still quite alert
I tried to pile him up with dirt
Now in my garden, nothing grows
No flowers, nor leaves
...just the Devil's nose!
It wasn't the devil that killed my joy
It was my own hasty digging - excitable boy!
Swallowing the Worm
Tossing the bottle off the porch
"I've had enough!" my pal fetched it of course
If I had dumped it or drank five more swigs
He wouldn't have poisoned himself with the whole thing.
Standing over his sorrowful grave
How did the worms taste
How do the worms like YOU Dave?

Peter can't lie for lying
[An email I wrote someone in March]
Pete can't lie for lying.
Here is Peter's latest post [all but one paren being mine, he said (HH).]
Pete writes:
I would like to see Gio on the one hand, and Dave, CW, and Funky Monkey on the other, post apologies to one another. (No he wouldn't) REAL APOLOGIES, (He means fakes like HIS apologies) none of the insults as usual. You are all wrong! (Lie) Yes, Gio, even you. (He does not mean also Gio) I will start it off. (No he won't he is just going to lie some more.)
I apologize to Nancy for overreacting to her insult. (He doesn't mean this) I hope she can see her friends for what they are, (this is what he means, believe his lies about her friends, ALSO a lie) because the sentiments I have expressed, and the facts I disclosed, all came from them (lie) They are no friends. (lie)
I apologize to Kathy, (no he doesn't, he just finished insulting her!) for disclosing what she privately said about Nancy. Nancy should know that those she has taken at face value have to be scrutinized a bit more. (Making a lie out of the apology and defending his duplicity while decrying her's!)
I apologize to all for any extra accounts I created out of frustration for purposes of answering your posts, (no he doesn't/not why he created them - a double lie!) but usually did so only when I was being attacked. (a lie) I do know that others have been creating accounts with my name, (lie) and in the case of one former user (HH) [I am not a "former user" as I did not "retire", another lie) my likeness, to damage my credibility. (lies)
Let me close by saying that the root problem here, (a lie) as in so much of life, (a lie) is the extremely thin skins too many possess. (a lie, the root problem being vicious malicious users like Pete)There are no great poets here, (lie, and he means besides himself, another double lie) only people wishing to share their writing and hopefully to improve.

Yahoo Has Gone Away -- No Such Luck!
Dear Yahoo,
Over the years in Yahoo Answers I have been offended insulted and reported hundreds of times sometimes dozens of times in a week, I have been slandered in so many ridiculous ways, I have filed complaint after complaint that your system is buggy and THEN, after years of abuse, I get a warning notice in a week with only FOUR violations (practically a first week that low,) but some troll-control person in Yahoo takes and interest in me and BAM I have no more account. Yes I insulted those attacking me because it was my last chance.
If your system is completely broken you give the users no other choice. Your company has never once responded to anything I have ever written, and you do not fix the gaping problems in your "monitoring system" so I should not have been suspended.
That's the truth.
HH

Boo-Dis, Boo-Dis, Buddhist!
"Self" wrote this piece about a father fixing his angry son by having
him hammer a nail in the fence every time he got angry. After that he
had him remove one every time he went a day without getting angry. Then
he points to all the holes and says apologizing is pointless because the
holes still remain, basically punishing the child for reforming. So I
wanted to mock the piece, but she removed it. Here is my response anyway
(for your entertainment.):
Why I am not a Buddhist:
[I wish I had the original here to show you what I am mocking, but Buddhists write in sand and then erase their answers in a sort of passive-aggressive egolessness.]
variant 1:
A father saw his son getting angry all the time so he told him to put a nail through their front fence every time he got angry. But the "father" was a woman author who didn't realize that boys LOVE to hammer nails!
variant 2:
The father told his son, every time you sit in judgement on another, put a nail in the fence. The boy noticed that right away his father put his millionth nail in the fence for his remarks to his son. Self and Hiram were right next to him hammering in their nails.
variant 3:
The boy removed the last of the nails once his anger had subsided and his father said "See, the holes are still there. You cannot remove the hurt by apologizing. So the boy hammered in another two nails, one for his father's annoying and insulting exercise and one for his anger at the results.

More of my whining about Blogger
Blogger and email:
My old blogsite, which sucked had one good feature, you could email a post. Google gives allows you to make up your own @ddress which doesn't work, OR you can post to go.blogger and hope for the best. (It says the page does not exist)
If this appears it means I survived the attempt. (it didn't, I am reposting what Go Blogger refused here.) Years ago I worked for IBM and was amazed that they were unable to provide employees with access to the internet. The idea that Google cannot allow you to simply post by email is absurd. I almost feel like I am a hostage of the Internet again!

I am going to risk a new suggestion. Since Bannibal only writes "my world is fine God bless" or "my world is dark I want to die" perhaps he could be brought into details and focus, and she could take on large as life themes, if Dallas and TBO co-wrote a poem.
Peter/Milieu up to his old games. Those of us old enough to remember saw Peter as top Answerer, no Milieu as #2, 3, 4, etc... And then one day there was Milieu, formerly known as Peter.
The quote from Peter/Milieu: "While I love and admire and respect many men, there are many more I pity and ignore. I have never been a man, (wanted to be) nor have I ever hidden a man behind my skirts, probably because I don't wear skirts."
He has loved many men and despised many more, yeah right!

verbal pyrotechnics, so deft and shiny;

"Hank Guru" and his friend "Gayreek"
Have you seen a crop idiot appearing as Hank Guru?
He was the constant companion of a poet from Buru,
from buru buru he appeared in Poetry with a third eye
with his many accounts accompanying his crap high!
Short time ago, the idiot Hank Guru stopped blessing,
the poetry section, and altogether appeared addressing
in the Greek section, responding to posts very offensive
for Greece, since he was a philosopher far too pensive.
A fake account by the name "Gayreek" was the asker;
and Hank Guru received BA for answering the masker,
who was calling Greeks names with abnormal crop,
happy cause he took revenge for being a pink bee-bop.
The third eye of the Hank Guru was made for courting
because his Ugly creator was drinking Vodka tarting.
He was the Man and received lotsa BAs from his kin,
with his clown questions post-constructed just to win.
The idiot visited the Greek section where started tarting
meanwhile people there, "who's that idiot" were asking;
Proudly Hank Guru won a BA from Gayreek's excretion,
before realizing that his Gayreek wisdom won deletion.

Why is it cowardice to train dogs to do what they are evolutionarily meant to do?
The first two lines make no sense outside of the context of YAP, and thus those (like long-winded synopsis) who go on about making a separate poem obviously can't read. I on the other hand with my 20% comprehension rate, get the whole picture.

""Why should we write a school assignment for someone else? Aren't we here to support each other, rather than to do each others' work?"

Some people come here motivated by a genuine love of poetry. Others just come here to show off."

It is also the shortest answer synopsis has ever given.

The Coastal Cloud (Clamoring Ocean's Madrigal)
Alpha Gio Whatever wrote some pretty sounding gibberish which I rewrote into English as THIS:
The Coastal Cloud
(Clamoring Ocean's Madrigal)
Drops of twinkling rain she was expecting,
tinge her sweet nocturnal form with spray
clamouring (for) ocean's madrigal of spray
Was she a little wraith form blue bayou'd
a drenched form wisping 'round the empty quay;
Drops of twinkling rain she was expecting,
Pelted fields look upward toward the skies,
smiling, dreaming forms made out of clay,
clamouring (for) ocean's madrigal of spray
Formed as faraway line of April's dew
announcing winter's wake to skies of gray
Drops of twinkling rain she was expecting,
Lithe and listless hanging o'er seaview
a drenched form wisping 'round the empty quay
clamouring (for) ocean's madrigal of spray
She was incomprehensible, agleaming blue,
tinge her sweet nocturnal form with spray
Drops of twinkling rain she was expecting...
...clamouring (for) ocean's madrigal of spray.
(This is a rewrite of Clamor of Madrigal, which so scared AGW, that he reported it so no one could compare his gibberish to mine. I am not linking to his because why should I benefit him when he attacks me?)
