Sickness Sonnet

March 8th 2008 15:44

Harder to breathe like the Maroon 5 hit
Sleeping somewhat less but tired much more
Might not be flu since I'm not really sore
Head hurts but not like a cranial split
I want Sudafed, don't want to buy it
'Though I feel rotten like an apple core
I'd rather not give my cash to the store
For something that might not help me one bit

So I summon the will to leave my bed
And walk to wait for the R or V train
Where other riders will soon feel my pain
My coughing and sneezing will make germs spread

Now you might stay home when you're sick like this
But I don't get paid for time that I miss

This took place in the very recent past. I'm better now, but still a little congested.

Sonic Sonnet

November 5th 2007 20:03

Almost half a year away is much too long.

You're small, swift, spiky with a skylike hue
A creature quite rarely found on a farm
Much more connected with pain than with charm
Yet many games were inspired by you
Fingers helping you to do what you do
Constantly being in the way of harm
Fighting without even having one arm
Does such a life ever make you feel blue?

Does all that spinning ever make you sick
Do you ever feel half-blinded with dirt?
Does crashing hard into a springboard hurt?
Where do you keep coins? There must be a trick

Other enigmas will remain unknown
Because I cannot pass the marble zone

I'm still alive

There is a reason why you haven't read
Any new sonnets from this is of mine
In a number of days that's twelve time nine

Sonnet to a Typical American Idol Contestant

January 25th 2007 03:26

What came from your mouth was not quite a song
Your fifteen seconds of fame was a waste
If you were famous, now you'd be disgraced

Sanitary Sonnet

January 22nd 2007 21:48

I've got a minor finger infection at the moment, and it isn't the most fun thing in the world to have, since I've been spending a couple of hours each of the past couple of days with my finger in a hydrogen peroxide solution. It hasn't gotten worse, but if it doesn't get better than I'll probably have to get it treated with something a bit more powerful despite my health care situation being poor even by USA standards. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but it probably got dirty somehow - hence the sanitary sonnet.

Hunny Sonnet

January 17th 2007 19:04

The bear living in the house that says "Sanders" doesn't write sonnets, does he? All evidence, such as there is, points to mister Pooh hardly ever writing at all. But if he did, would it look anything like this?

O scrumptious hunny way up in the tree

Scary Sonnet

January 13th 2007 22:44

I hereby waive responsibility for any and all panic-related complications suffered as a result of reading this sonnet, regardless of whether you have children named Jason or not. I tried to make a link here before to Bryn's Horror Movie Villains post at www.horrorphile.net, but I accidentally made this window close and had to rewrite the sonnet from memory. I'm not doing that again.

Running Sonnet

January 6th 2007 21:31

I went running today, and ran faster than I had in quite a while. The weather, being unseasonably warm but not oppressively so, was probably at least partially responsible. It also helped that I was against the wind earlier as opposed to later, so I was able to push through it when I wasn't tired and I let it push me forward when I was. Because of that run, I'm transplanting a running sonnet from my original blog here at Orble. Here it is:

Running a long route can tire you out

But how many of the readers are real? The other day the stats email said I had 300 hits on my site and over 50 individual readers but nobody left a comment and my adsense impressions were nowhere near that.

Now writer's cramp isn't as much of a problem with the popularity of computers, but can writer's block cure carpal tunnel?

on What book or series of books has consumed you?

March 13th 2008 17:38

I think that I've read the entire discworld series by terry pratchett and even read some of them more than twice. I'm not sure if if I've ever been completely consumed by a book or series but that's about as close as I've come. I have read the entire harry potter series and the original 5 hitchhiker books but I don't like the 5th as much.

on Saturday Morning : 80's Cartoons

March 8th 2008 15:58

Garfield was probably my favorite show in the late 80s/early 90s and I wish I could see it again for nostalgia's sake but I don't have cable and my parents do but I don't think the channel that shows it (if there is one) comes with their cable package. I watched a lot of TMNT too, but not so much of the others.

Major League Baseball is starting soon too. Although I suppose with cricket being so big in Australia there's not much of a market for baseball.

on Toronto Raptors 2008

March 8th 2008 14:35

There are a lot of good stories with the Raptors, which is a big part of why they're doing well without any big-name players who spent more than a few years in the league. I wish there were more such stories on the Knicks, but at least their young players are getting more of a chance to play now.

May 11th 2007 17:45

I feel like there are a bunch of things in the past that now I would know what not to do, but I don't know if I would be able to avoid those mistakes and I might also not know what to do instead.

At least my parents have money so I'm going to the doctor very soon. But I will be made to feel guilty about the cost for what will probably be quite a while.
