This thread is dedicated to Isis.
 It is also a place for her to come
 and bubble and squeal and use *'s
 to her unending delight.
 
 It is also a place for other GFN 
 forum members to come and talk to
 Isis. (only good stuff.) no 'Dising.'
 
 protocol should be followed.
 posts should be preferably in
 pink. And should use at least
 one set of asteriks denoting
 some action or activity.
 
 and even if you dislike Pocky
 (well no, Isis said she likes to
 speak her mind so Gendo, eleborate
 on how much you detest the stuff.
 and go crazy with Anime here too.
 
 The Blue Casket forum
 is very noticably purple. 
 And I the round purple one 
 do not want to be the only one 
 posting here. So Isis and fellow
 forum members it is time to
 "think pink."
 
 *takes a drag of his Popeye 
 candy cigarette, and re-adjusts 
 the Blue casket's stage microphone 
 and nods to Kaldaravera 
 sitting in the corner
 of the Blue casket.*
 
 
 "I am the Bluebird of Unhappiness
 amongst the Rose Coloured Worms."
 
 
 *the crowd snaps their fingers,
 diging the word, like crazy man!
 and the waiting staff brings 
 around more bubbly green Absynthe.
 And a hush falls over the room
 as all eyes turn towards Isis."
 
 :jawa
  
 
  
  
    A nice idea and a sweet gesture, but you're going to have to hand out barf bags if every single post is going to be in hot pink. I'm starting to feel a little queasy already. Nonetheless, I will start off by making the first reply. *Ahem*
 
 No offence Isis buddy, but:
 
 I HATE POCKY!
 
 HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT!!
 
 I F*CKIN HATE IT!
 
 *Ahem*
 
 Carry on.
  
 
  
  
    :jawa 
 
 *smiles and chuckles over
 Gendo's post, but suggests,
 that monseur chose another 
 color, to better reflect his
 personae dramatis. 
 then looks at the time 
 and realizes happy computer
 time is over for now 
 and is on his way offline,
 but not before 
 *S* *G* *H* and *W*ing 
 at Isis.*
  
 
  
  
    *Clears throat.* 
 
 Ahem. 
 
 In the moonlight I felt your heart 
 Quiver like a bowstring's pulse 
 In the moon's pure light, you looked at me 
 Nobody knows your heart 
 
 When the sun is gone I see you 
 Beautiful and haunting, but cold 
 Like the blade of a knife, so sharp and so sweet 
 Nobody knows your heart 
 
 All of your sorrow, grief and pain 
 Locked away in the forest of the night 
 Your secret heart belongs to the world 
 Of the things that sigh in the dark 
 Oh the things that cry in the dark 
 
 *Walks back to her seat to the snapping of fingers.*
  
 
  
  
    *Takes a drag from his doobie, snaps fingers rapidly*
  
 
  
  
    *turns towards the right
 to make sure Gendo does not
 Boggart that medicinal blunt,
 and grooves to the word.
 Duck on a Bike; he mutters
 after finally exhailng,
 and then reaches into his 
 jacket pocket, in search
 of his hip flask of Laudnum.*
  
 
  
  
    *Gets up out of his seat
 and staggers over to Isis
 now surrounded by a new group
 of dead beat poet admirers,
 and says to her, hey baby!
 Your poetry it did not sound
 like bacon or oppression;
 it smelt like Pocky!
 I Love the smell of Pocky 
 in the morning,
 it smells like Pocky.*
 (anyways I have an avi 
 for you Isis so PM me 
 and give send me your email.)
  
 
  
  
    (Done.) 
 
 Hey, cats, my work is not for sale, ya dig? I can't talk about the crazy works of art I say. They may be stolen away by the greedy hands of plagiarism.
  
 
  
  
    *Has no soul for poetry, nor politics, so is content to simply sit and get stoned, snapping his fingers occasionally*
  
 
  
  
    *the eggplant grabs Gendo's
 hand and puts a left handed cigarette
 into it, and then well...
 what sort of adjective describes
 how an eggplant moves itself?
 and again somehow taking the stage
 the eggplant adjusts the mike and begins.*
 
 
 *NATURE OF THE BEAST: 
 YOU CAN COUNT ON THAT
 
 There is ONE
 or
 I
 to begin with
 TWO is
 WE
 and in logical order
 THREE is
 YOU
 FOUR is simple
 LOVE
 and then the beat repeats 
 to the opposite
 four letter word
 that of
 HATE
 next is FIVE
 ANGER
 most definitely is SIX
 to 
 DETEST
 finality reaches SEVEN
 and we
 DESPISE
 lately comes EIGHT
 the feeling of
 BETRAYAL
 NINE, we lay our bodies down drained
 APATHETIC
 then wake to the light which is TEN
 LONELINESS
 ELEVEN
 being two separate ones
 like YOU
 and I
 an odd unstable number
 a time of Instability
 which is what Love and Life
 are all about
 TEN leads not to
 ELEVEN
 but just back to ONE
 or
 I
 you can COUNT on that.*
  
 
  
  
    *Snaps her fingers as DE sits down.* 
 
 That was great, man! Really meant something! 
 
 *Walks to the mic and sings "Call Your Name" from Escaflowne.*

    *holding up ronson's lighter
 in cliche 70's rock anthem mode,

 burning them slightly. drops lighter

 and a bit embarassed and begins.*
 
 3 ducks are brought to a court room.
 the judge looks at the 3 ducks and says
 "okay step up one at a time,
 tell me your name,
 and tell me why you are here?"
 
 
 first duck steps up and says;
 "hello my name is quack.
 and I am here because I got caught
 blowing bubbles in the pond."
 
 
 so the judge nods and says;
 "okay 1 week community service,
 and do not do it again.
 ...Next..."
 
 
 second duck steps up and says;
 "hello my name is quack quack.
 and I am here because I got caught
 blowing bubbles in the pond."
 
 
 so the judge nods and says;
 "okay 1 week community service,
 and do not do it again.
 ...Next...
 
 the third duck step up,
 but the judge interupts and says:
 "don't tell me let me guess;
 your name is quack quack quack."
 
 
 the third duck says:
 "No, my name is bubbles."
  
 
  
  
    Hmm. Duckse.cx. Interesting.
  
 
  
  
    Ew. Funny. But ew.
 
 *Walks up to the mic.*
 
 Armageddon:
 
 How many times must we start again, 
 The creation of the world from beginning to end?
 What will it take before we learn? 
 We gotta wake up now and show some concern.
 What will the future hold?
 How many untold stories will be told?
 Just what will the future bring?
 How many species of birds will have a song to sing?
 Man and man can't even get on, 
 And man and women've been at war for far too long.
 Superior race all this black and white vision. 
 Catholic. Muslim. There's too many religions.
 Too much hatred, too much greed.
 Ignorant people pollute the air that we breathe.
 We've gotta wake up now before it's much too late.
 Hungry people need food on their plate. 
 People being killed for just a few pence:
 Can you justify that? 'Cause it makes no sense to me.
 You're growing up much too fast.
 The destruction of mankind: how long will it last?
 
 Perfect: that's what I'm striving to be. The next best thing will do for me.
 I do my best. You disagree.
 Holier than thou, holier than me.
 Commiting crimes with no remorse.
 As good as gold now an evil force. 
 One word description is a dis.
 You lick a boy down for his bag of cheese 'n' onion crisps.
 And you don't even stop to think
 Whatever happened to the dinosaurs could make us all extinct.
 I'm being judged by the clothes that I wear. 
 We've gotta educate those with a grudge to bear. 
 But I'm content to a certain extent.
 You're condemned for life; it's too late to repent.
 Innermost beauty: such a terrible waste.
 Caught between a rock and a hard place. 
 
 Be judged according to what you've done.
 Live this life. The next is a better one.
 Eat the fruit from the tree of life.
 'Cause if you live by the sword... You'll die by the knife.
 How great and wonderful are your days?
 How right and true are your ways?
 No more death, grief, crying or pain,
 'Cause only the good things will remain.
 Heed my words, 'cause what I'm saying is true.
 Treat them exactly as they treated you.
 Wipe away the tears from your eyes.
 Be proud, lift your head up. Reach for the skies.
 
 Condemned for what you did to them.
 Now see how quick they fall to worship him. 
 There's a place in my heart that makes me understand.
 Prepared and ready like a bride dressed to meet her husband.
 Treat life as a learning process.
 I said turn right, so you took a sharp left.
 Wake up and we'll all sleep peacefully.
 The sun shines, but it still seems bleak to me.
 You tell a lie and convince me it's the truth.
 I'm well-mannered, but you still call me uncouth.
 I believe that there's got to be much more. 
 I hope I'm ready when death comes knocking on my door.
 Mabye tonight, mabye as I sleep.
 It can drive you mad if you think too deep.
 But don't have a breakdown 'cause I called you a clown.
 You threw a punch and missed. I killed you with a kiss.
 What on earth will you do then?
 The hour of your death... Amen!
 And all the prejudice that I've sustained.
 I know it sounds funny, but I just can't stand the pain.
  
 
  
  
    Well, now I know where you've been the last few days...
  
 
  
  
    You recognize it, don't you?
  
 
  
  
    Afraid not. Enlighten me.
  
 
  
  
    I don't own it, I'm afraid.
  
 
  
  
    Oh. Well, there's an animй MP3 site I got it off of. I still haven't seen any NGE, but the music's great!
  
 
  
  
    Indeed it does. I'll have get the Eva soundtracks one of these days.
  
 
  
  
    What's kinda funny is that at the top of the homepage, there's a picture of Gendo.
  
 
  
  
    Gendo's Anime Music Page.
  
 
  
  
    I dunno. Go to google, type in "Gendou's Anime Music Page" and it should be the first link that comes up... I forget the actual url. It's a great site with loads of music.
  
 
  
  
    *shuffles back into 
 Blue Casket lounge 
 it is 2am, have been away
 far too long, walls still echo 
 with Kaldaravera's last poetic
 opus, crazy man! cool!
 snap snap even if it is
 music it is still poetry 
 and it has a beat.*
 
 *tired so will not inflict poetry
 on patrons until tomorrow*
  
 
  
  
    How about some philosophy? 
 
 "Kill 'em all, let God sort them out"
  
 
  
  
    Forever Autumn
 
 The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
 And darker days are drawing near.
 The winter winds will be much colder
 Now you're not here.
 
 I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
 And one by one they disappear.
 I wish that I was flying with them
 Now you're not here.
 
 Like the sun through the trees, you came to love me.
 Like a leaf on a breeze, you blew away.
 
 Through autumn's golden gown, we used to kick our way.
 You always loved this time of year.
 Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
 'Cause you're not here.
 
 Like the sun through the trees, you came to love me.
 Like a leaf on a breeze, you blew away.
 
 A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes,
 As if to hide a lonely tear.
 My life will be forever autumn
 'Cause you're not here.
  
 
  
  
    How do you guys pluck this stuff out of the air like that? You're either highly artistic, or incredibly tortured [as] teenagers.
  
 
  
  
    if you look up the definition 
 of autistic and super-impose 
 artistic, well there is not much
 difference really.
 
 plus if you really do not have a life
 you find the time to wax poetically:D
  
 
  
  
    Deliver me, out of my sadness. 
 Deliver me, from all of the madness. 
 Deliver me, courage to guide me. 
 Deliver me, strength from inside me.
 
 All of my life I've been in hiding. 
 Wishing there was someone just like you. 
 Now that you're here, now that I've found you, 
 I know that you're the one to pull me through.
 
 Deliver me, loving and caring. 
 Deliver me, giving and sharing.
 Deliver me, the cross that I'm bearing.
 
 All of my life I was in hiding.
 Wishing there was someone just like you.
 Now that you're here, now that I've found you,
 I know that you're the one to pull me through.
 
 Deliver me, 
 Deliver me, 
 Oh deliver me.
 
 All of my life I was in hiding.
 Wishing there was someone just like you.
 Now that you're here, now that I've found you,
 I know that you're the one to pull me through.
 
 Deliver me,
 Oh deliver me.
 Won't you deliver me.
  
 
  
  
    Deliver Me
 Deliver me, out of my sadness. 
 Deliver me, from all of the madness.

    MORE OR LESS POETRY
 
 
 Moo Goo Gi Pan
 Dessert Camels
 Japan
 Marmalade in frying pans
 things that all do Rhyme;
 Poetry is not really that
 owning useless, Siamese Cats
 unless your wallet's good and fat
 wearing stylish Fedora hats
 people still Believe, 
 Poetry is A-B-C
 Holy Ghost and Trinity
 Flowers, Trees, Birds, Bees;
 things that Rhyme up three:
 Keeping your Eyes on your Fries
 Flying Friendly United Skies
 nothing going beyond the Rhyme
 Non-Rhyme being a Crime
 Non-Rhyme, a Prose
 not Poetry, not a Rose
 look at trash like this,
 Poetry is more than this;
 give a Whale a Kiss
 Rhyme one for the Critics,
 Bats in your Attic, 
 People having Fits
 when
 You
 break Up
 the Rhyme
 stop
 And make
 them Think,
 broaden Their minds
 From The
 Traditional
 A-B-A-B
 to: X-Cab-Secret-lab
 things made up
 things Prefab
 rambling on endlessly
 using words that end in Z
 Is this what you want to See?
 Is this what was meant to Be?
 Dr. Suess the Modern Poet
 Rhymes so well we all know it
 sometimes I Rhyme
 sometimes I Do Not
 Does that make me less a Poet?
 
 
 
 *pauses and looks out at those
 in the audience, I have been
 asked why do I post as I do?
 the only answer I can give is this:
 
 three lines from a lazy poet
 
 
 ALWAYS WRITE
 ALWAYS WRITING
 ALWAYS RIGHT
 
 _
 _
 _
 
 three lines from a lazy poet*
  
 
  
  
    *outside the doorway
 to the Blue Casket,
 scribbling on a napkin,
 on the look out 
 for Kaldaravera;
 Gendo's inside 
 holding us a table,
 hey Kaldaravera, 
 stop talking to Lupe
 and get in here.*
 
 
 
 DOLPHINS THINK ABOUT IT
 
 If you could Dream 
 would it be the Sea,
 or a picture of me;
 I once Dreamt of a shore, 
 a Deserted Beach
 waves overlapping on Quiche
 I woke and I thought and I ran
 to sit in your lap.
 When I asked you seriously, 
 Why did you laugh?
 Puzzled I travelled alone, 
 to go to city hall
 to consult the Law
 saw good Judge McPhean
 black robes so neat 
 hair piece so clean
 asked him just the same
 He spat in my face, 
 told me I was Insane;
 
 He banged down his gavel
 and he sentenced me to the Chair; 
 which hardly seemed fair
 yet One Thousand Million Volts 
 electric ran through me,
 but I did not care; 
 I was Dead.
 
 They put me on the Shelf, 
 I was made into Alfalfa Sprouts
 which you then put in your Mouth
 and the Next Day when you awoke, 
 after thinking me a Joke
 you saw it all;
 
 To the people you called 
 asking the Question so rare,
 "Do you think about Dolphins?"
 "Do you Like Dolphins?"
 They might say Yes, 
 but put it to the test:
 Dolphins
 you know what they are, 
 and you may like them
 But
 Have you ever seen one 
 in your Dreams?
 Do you ever think about Dolphins?
 
 Scorn, Ridicule, Laugh
 Old Ladies attack, 
 get the Sheep off my back
 lay down in the mud 
 dying last thoughts,
 Dolphins:
 Dolphins think about it a lot.
  
 
  
  
    More "philosophy":
 
 "It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you."
  
 
  
  
    *discovers much to his amazement
 that a PM message box holds a finite
 number of messages before full
 as I was contacted through ICQ
 to inform me such, 
 so if anyone has sent me PM's
 recently I have not been rude
 just rather obtuse and I am back now.*
  
 
  
  
    Yes I know, I tried to reply to one of your messages and a polite java popup informed me your inbox was full, and you had been sent an email to tell you so. No biggie.
  
 
  
  
    *sighs a huge pink
 strawberry scented pocky
 sign of relief seeing a post
 from Kaldaravera at long last,
 her driver must have got lost
 in the land of the living.*
  
 
  
  
    ^^;
 
 I'm back! Didja miss me? Well, actually, Navi was being a royal pain as well as GFN itself, but it's working now, so I'm fine.
 
 Pure Again
 
 As I search For something I was beginning to forget,
 I want to hold on tightly To the wings of purity.
 
 The shell of sadness was being covered by the crest of a wave.
 Those days I was picking my way through already have to be cast away.
 
 When the sands awakened from their sleep, a bouquet of happiness
 Was carried over by the wind. No longer can I look back.
 
 Somewhere on this planet, a smiling face is born.
 Well, I shall go with you. Please hold my hand.
 
 As I search for something I was beginning to forget,
 I want to hold on tightly to the wings of purity.
 
 Eyes dyed in sky-blue sparkle brightly.
 Those days that will pass us by are already a distant dream.
 
 The time I forded the river of memories I was becoming cowardly.
 However, because you were there for me, I could still put out courage.
 
 This planet is always overflowing with dreams.
 Well, I shall go with you always.
 
 As I protect this seemingly-fragile heart,
 I want to be looking at your hot gaze.
 
 As I search for something I was beginning to forget,
 I want to hold on tightly to the wings of purity.
  
 
  
  
    A pleasure to see you as always, my friend. Nice poem. What is "Navi"?
  
 
  
  
    Wonderful to see you too, love. Navi is the name I have given to our computer. Brandon's is Omoikane, Christina's is Yukinojo, and mine is Navi. They are all computers' names from various animй series. Mine's from Serial Experiments Lain.
  
 
  
  
    I sometimes call my computer HAL, due to it's increasingly un-subtle attempts to destroy me.
  
 
  
  
    great computer names
 HAL
 Zero
 Mother
 
 when mine is misbehaving it is
 Marvin or stupid bloody machine.
  
 
  
  
    Sometimes nothing beats the good old-fashioned, tried-and-true "Goddamned piece of **** machine!" traditionally followed by various threats of micro-technological de-construction.
  
 
  
  
    I called my comp Navi
 'Til she started to slow down.
 So I kicked her metallic arse
 All over the friggin' town!
  
 
  
  
    Haiku:
 
 My hard-drive is a
 Seagate. Seagate's are bloody
 Stupid cheap bullcrap
  
 
  
  
    Navi in the corner, I know 
 I know Isis is delirious 
 Navi in the corner, I know 
 I know Isis' really delirious 
 there were times when I would
 have PM'ed her
 (but you know I do hate
 anything happening to Navi)
 No I Don't Want Navi to Crash
 do you really think 
 she'll post soon?
 do you really think 
 she'll post soon?
 Navi in the corner, I know
 I know Isis is delirious 
 there were times when I wanted
 to have Emailed her

 Would You Please Let Me
 Email Her
