[bodytext] => i'm going to make my left testicle a widow
slice off the right one with a rusty blade
just to see the newly widowed's reaction
to having his companion taken from him in a raid.
perhaps he'll be glad to see him go, perhaps he'll be overjoyed,
perhaps he's been praying for years to see his flat-mate destroyed,
or perhaps he'll constantly be seeking something new, something to fill the void,
soon these will no longer be 'perhaps's' after my experiment worthy of Freud.
Now that he'll have the home to himself, perhaps he'll relish the extra space,
or perhaps he'll be driven to suicide by the constant mental image of the missing face.
i can't leave these questions unanswered, that's why i'll do what i'm going to do,
i need to know if there's a rift in my pants, or if the friendship between my balls is true.

Well, I'm against overzealous censorship, personally. You have no swearwords here, but the imagery is a little brusque (if silly) for general viewing - and posting censor-worthy poems as a sake of anti-censorship, strikes me as rather pointless.
Become a paid member and write all this in a special area, or alternatively - go somewhere else . . . and stop complaining when you get censored for writing material that has the censors reaching for their scissors.. |

hmm, neptune, how about... u shut up.
this one has nothing to do with my comments on censorship, i was just using the comments section to air my views on some of the other stuff. this one is just a stupid one, felt like putting it on, simply because its one of the only one's that WOULDN'T be censored. wanker |

Your comment towards neptune was uncalled for.
I think you did push it with this one.
I think the poem is rather odd.
I can express my utter anger without cussing though
I believe if you tried you could as well. |

Here's the deal:
If someone were to reach inside a window and take money from the room inside, it would be theft.
In this case, the window is the poetry-- the window to Krisseee's (or any other poet's) mind, heart, and/or soul.
The money is the feelings felt, the things worthy of expression that hold value.
The room is the poet's mind, heart or soul.
Now, just because it's a metaphoric window, metaphoric money, a metaphoric room... does that make the metaphoric theif innocent all of the sudden?
I don't know about you, but I find censorship to be violating.
Poets should have as much freedom to post their poetry as they want it to appear as the commenters have to approve or disapprove of the way a poem is worded. You see, maybe to the poet, this poem is not odd, but we, as commenters, have the freedom to view it that way, to like it or dislike it, and to say so however bluntly we'd like.
Personally, I thought the poem was a great one and didn't take it exactly as a literal tale. I thought it had great rhythm and picturesque, vivid quality. Isn't that what matters in a poem?
Bravo and encore.
Love,
Chelsea |

| I do understand and see the poetry for the art of the poet, however, this too is a society, and governing rules were agreed to from the start, as in a society, we cannot set ourselves apart, to do so is anarchy. Sweet defination of anarchy, and how much differently would the world be today, if Thomas Paine had heeded definations. So I say, this poem stands the tests. |
