ODE TO PATHETIC.ORG MEMBERS or THIS IS COCO & PUG'S WORLD
by Terry OlynikWhat a population,
Here on Planet Pathetic
All connected
In poesis cyberspace.
By
A killer metaphor,
A rhyme extraordinaire,
A busted heart.
A tour through
The member's directory,
Reveals a diversity
Both startling
And
Reassuring.
Starting with Andy
Or Andey.
From all points
Of the globe -
We've got one
Of everything.
And
A zillion Amandas.
Half broken-hearted.
Half setup to be.
Whatcha need?
A Kimberly?
A Kymberleigh?
A Pushpa, a Persephone?
Got'em.
And for all us drunkards -
(We ARE writers)
A Drinkard.
We've got names
That have to be fake.
Malina Raven Maness Diebod?
A code no doubt
To
Summon the aliens.
Be kind
To her poetry.
We've got Ng's
And Nuss's.
Stasha, Ratna,
Maniko and Malika.
Even
Myers Jablonsky.
My cat's name
Is Meyer Jaboni!!!???
Watcha need?
Got a batch of Halls.
A Rien Gut
("Nothing Stomach" in French?).
Also
Lovonuna, Soulo, Ceurvasst,
Xsorillia and, big finish -
Zorah Zentz.
While we may all come
From divergent backgrounds,
And different geographies,
Our goal, deep down,
Is
The very same.
To get "brilliants" and "vivids"
Next to our words!
