If Random Were a Language, I Would Eat Chocolate

PreviousNext

Had Black not told me to write this, I would've never fell asleep,
The horse never would've bit the cow,
and the mule would've never told the rat to go fishing.

Give me two minutes and I'm sure this'll be worth your time.
Unless you don't have two minutes, in which case,
You don't deserve my time. The time that I spent writing this,
is time spent breathing, and had I not breathed while writing this,
I'd probably still not have died yet.

So then there were three potatoes, of course I call them pototoes, don't ask why,
and the last mouse told me to grab them. But of course
me being a pilot and all,
told him to do it himself.
So you know what he did? He took the apple and ate it.
Didn't even bother sharing.

And so last night we completed the ceremony, flowers and all.
Left the coats to hang, and walked out the house into a place we called,
outside.

Fin.

This has to be one the most random poetry I've ever read and it's wonderful.

This is one of the few Poems I've read that's spoken to me... ok the only one the randomness of it all, it's inspired me to keep being random.

10/10 would recomend everyone to read this. Thank you for this masterpiece

LIZ is here in the room ready for a review!!!!!!


This is fantastic!!!!!! I truly loved it. There was no point setting the name that long, it is kinda an irrelevant title.

MY favorite part is, "Had Black not told me to write this, I would've never fell asleep,The horse never would've bit the cow,and the mule would've never told the rat to go fishing., because it is like an intro!!!


IIIIIIIIII Love it.

Hi! Thought I'd drop in for a quick review.

From the title to the last line of the poem, everything's shining in humor and randomness. The words flowed out smoothly (even though they weren't that meaningful) and the grammar was flawless. I loved it! Speaking of love, a rat stole my cheese today. Why? Because it loved cheese, that's so obvious. However, everything in this universe is not so obvious. You gotta be clever to survive. I think there's a simile for that, but I forgot whether it was 'as clever as a fox'or 'as clever as a dog'. By the way, my dog ate my homework, so the teacher made me go outside the classroom and to pass the time, I was browsing the internet randomly on my phone and came upon this awesome poem.

keep it up and one day i'll be able to call you my protege kid

It'll be an honor to be your protege kid!!!

Hey.

Lol what even.. xD Okay this was really awesome, cool idea. I loved the whole thing, the title got me into it so..

And obviously, no glitches in your language of course (no criticism I guess) and punctuatttiooonnn, why no punctuation? I know it's a small thing as compared to your compositions, but it's just a personal suggestion, I kinda like it.

So there, your creations are just awesome, love them a lot! Keep up the awesome job.

Stay blessed.

Hello!

This has made it in and out of the spotlight so many times. I figured I should finally stop by and leave a comment.

This reminds me of dadaism, a movement started during the first world war in Switzerland. The movement, like surrealism, stretched over types of art (visual, poetry, literature, theatre), and consisted of random images. Literally, that was it. Weird images put together.

You see, the dadaists thought that war was bad (they were mostly refugees that fled to Switzerland because of the war), and that war was born from humanity's innate desire for order. It would be all right if they all wanted to live with the same order, but because different systems of order exist (different government types, religions, etc.), war is born from the desire for order.

Because of this, dadaists chose to eschew order in their artwork, choosing random images that are supposed to remind whoever consumes the art that war is ridiculous.

While this is still fairly ordered for a dada poem, I think that it definitely has some aspects of dadaism within it.

Good work. Congrats on all the likes, forever. Hope this was enlightening! Happy YWSing!

GennaRoberts Review

hi im genna and this was fuuny. you use a lot of stuff that doesnt make sense but it kinda helped cause you called the poem random so it helps that nothing made sense. i think you could make it longer and more random and that would be funny cause you could make everyone laugh more and show us that random is a language lol. i dont get the choclate thing cause you never talk about it but you never talk about random either but you can tell that everything random cause of how you used the words and stuff so you did a good job with that, but try to make the title realte to the work so we can know what were reading okay?

i think the last line was the best cause it really summed everything up really well when you said it. fin. it shows us that the poem is over so theres no more too it but thats obvious lol anyway good job your a really good writer like the best and youre totally awesome i should follow you like everyone else does. byeeeeeee

This is an awesome poem! To think that all those poets (including me I must say) spend all that time making everything exactly right, making all the lines flow, and end up with nothing but empty opinions, and no pride to show for it. Then here you-a pilot!;)- come waltzing in with an apple eating mouse and hanging coats! Well done, I loved all of it...but in the end I should probably admit that I'm biased and would probably have found something wrong with it if it didn't remind me of someone else who could probably easy outshine you with her absolute randomness...but don't take that as an insult because she could easily outshine ANYONE with her randomness:) But, there, that's off topic and this is supposed to be a review so...10/10!

I'd love to meet this competition of mine someday ;)

I really liked this poem! Especially the "pototoes" and the "pilot" part! I wonder how hard it was picking and choosing the words for this poem! I also wonder how some poems have the words delicately chosen and written, and are completely boring, but how this poem is just random sentences put together and it is awesome! (And you just made me hungry for chocolate through a poem!) Great poem.

Well not to brag,but it took n time at all ;)
Glad you liked it.

Why am I the 27th person to read this?! I don't know. I'm lazy, you see.

I have two words for you. Clue-less. Thats what I felt after reading this. Ina good way :D

If this could get any random-er, I would stop eating chocolate.

But I'll tell you this, it wasn't a waste of my time at all. YOU DID GREAT!

-Divz.

lol Dutiiiii. I saw you liked it and was like, woah! XD

Aw thanks guuurl.
And I'm sure there was more than 27 people ;)

Oh well, the important thing here is that, I supported this totally confusing endeavor :D

I have three words for you: What. Was. That.

The title was what caught my attention. Because it's so, strange,you've completed the first step, hooking the reader in.

The rest of it was amusing. Didn't make sense, but it was still funny.

Well, I liked this strange poem of yours.
I'd give it three and a half thumbs up.

Could've done without the half, but thanks :D

Hello!

This is incredibly funny! This little piece of work made my entire day. Your're a great poet! ^^

'So then there were three potatoes, of course I call them pototoes, don't ask why'

This was my favorite part because I loved the 'don't ask why.' The flow of the poem was aslo great.

Over all, I hope too read more of your poems! Keep up the good work!

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. It is a literary masterpiece to rival the best. That darn mouse is just so inconsiderate, isn't he. I think you may take the cake for randomness. Or the potatoes or the apple. Please excuse my awful jokes. It is late and I am rambling randomly. Anyway, that was an awesome, random, nutjob-written poem. Well done.

Atleast someone appreciates my hard work.

It had an air of satire of it, my friend. I loved it. It was almost like a children's rhyme, yet it was pure and simple it wasn't. I liked how you wrote it to my friend, though the name of this is confusing, but nonetheless it was fantastic. I'll be sure to read your other works, but as always don't count on me being this nice on the others.

I love the complete and utter randomness of the poem, reminds me of my inner self at times. Great title, great poem, good job! Being as this poem is supposed to be entirely random, I find no fault within it. I commend you on your ability of writing utter nonsense. And you were right! It sure was worth the time it took to read this.

Keep writing random!

I don't know if I can review this at all
'cause this is just so fun to read! :D
I cannot dare think I'd find a fault
in a random poem like this. xD

I'll try to point out some things
though I might make no point.
Was "Had Black not told me to write this"
made intentionally wrong?

'Cause if so, you were not consistent
with the rest of this little tale.
In the sense, the rest was perfect
while that first clause failed.

But mind me not, it's an epic start(!)
confuzzling us the way you did,
just after you've caught our curious eyes
with a title so crazily splendid.

Effective was your free-verse,
being so spontaneously wild.
And I love the way you excluded
the place we called 'outside'.

BSYPR!

Spoiler
But seriously, your poem rocks!

Thank you sir.
Black actually refers to the yws user Blackwood. ;)

Oh! xD I was confused there. lol

This makes more sense than half the poems I read.

Not sure if that means I failed at my duty, or other people are bad poets.

I believe that the latter is true, not so the former. I quite liked your poem, it was very... Creative. And original, don't forget that one.

Twas a compliment. You're wonderful. I love you.

Ah, well thank you kindly in that case.

Hey, dreamy here for the review!

I go from stanza to stanza.

First Stanza

I would've never fell asleep,


For that line I would suggest you tweak it to this: "I would've never fallen asleep," reading it over and over again I felt it worked best with this flow. Also, I don't believe you would have never fallen asleep, in fact I think you would have slept right after.

I found it strange that a mule would tell a rat to go fishing, so if you could elaborate on what the mule was thinking? Perhaps it was very hungry, and didn't have food to eat? Or maybe it was all alone and didn't know what to do, so it randomly decided to ask the mouse to go fishing?

Overall though I understand you effort to be random in it, and I found it very hilarious, so great job on the stanza.

Second Stanza

I thought this stanza was substantially better than the first one, I could understand you much more and I agree with Shady about what you wrote being wonderful, because that line with the time, was very good. It made sense and had good flow.

Third Stanza

I just have one question: What are you calling potatoes?

Also, I agree with Cow about the whole aviation thing. You need to show your credentials man.

I thought it made sense that he didn't share the apple, after all you told him to do it himself, therefore, very good writing, you connected the meaning with the characters.

Fourth Stanza

This was very cute, and I can only say, that I hope the ceremony went well! Graduation is a beautiful time, and I'm glad to have been a part of it.

Overall, I am spending time breathing as well, and I must say it was time well breathed. Good job and keep writing! *claps*

--Dream on and on and on

Where would I be without you dreamy.

Let's hope at least putting question marks on questions! ;)

haha you have 37 likes.

While drinking my tenth cup of coffee and smoking my fourth pack of cigarettes of the day, I stumbled upon this piece trying to locate one of those illustrious conspiracy theory websites. Needless to say, I was astounded at how dreadful this poem is. I mean, a mouse, eating apples? What mentally secure rodentia would stoop to such a level. We might as well call him L. Mouse Capone. As for the mention of the cow, you have to ask the essential question of how much corporate agriculture has tainted the minds of out society. The "horse" is obviously a metaphor for the wealthy ranch moguls who persecute the poor cow, however, this particular metaphor is quite pointless, seeing that horses are quite sklled in the mating process.

I would also like to see your pilot credentials, because anyone knows that a good aviationist would have already been prepping the airborne vehicle for takeoff and therefore the mouse was merely trying to be inclusive. Pilot supremacy to mice is a whole other story.

Overall, I give the poem a 127 out of 10, but I think even THAT's generous.

I posted this twice as a symbol of my utter disgust.

This is brilliant. Truly brilliant, Veersies.

This is my favorite bit, I think.

Give me two minutes and I'm sure this'll be worth your time.
Unless you don't have two minutes, in which case,
You don't deserve my time.


It's so simple. So snarky. So wonderful. <3
~
Not sure I really understand the third paragraph. Who is this last mouse? The Dormouse? Is it your Inner Lordie, bitter, trying to exert some mythological power over him? It seems like it could be. Your Inner Lordie was surprised and everything when the Dormouse blatantly ignored your orders and did what did what he wanted, even though that's what he always does. Free-spirit.
~

Now that you brought the Mouse into the picture, I have to wonder. Is this yours and Black's wedding? Or Lordie and Reggy's? Or is it even a wedding at all? Perhaps it was just a party, about being alive and well, thanks to Thorn. Because Lordie got lucky that it was the Elder Sister that made a strike? Because Lordie would be screwed might not be so lucky, if it was the younger that tried to kill him?

So much to ponder...

I thank you for giving us this intellectual gem.

~Shady 8)

It was obviously our wedding since he wrote it at my request <3

Leave it to you to bring WR into this ;)

xD Of course. I miss it so.

So I can't find the picture of the Dormouse that I drew for WR. Pretty sure it's on Photobucket but I'm locked out of my account, so I decided to Google "Dormouse Shady Vyp" and it brought me straight here xD

AS IT VERY WELL SHOULD EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET SHOULD JUST LINK STRAIGHT HERE

YOU GOT THIS NONSENSE FEATURED *TWICE* YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY OKAY? (You should also get your profile in for WR so we can start >:| )

there are plenty of things i shooould be doing you see but its quite hard to prioritize on what i willllll do

Don't make me go all crazy white chick on you :P I wanna do this SB start up and I'm not going to have time for it if we don't get it going before my uni starts back up. *nags*

First of all, this part below was awesome.

Had Black not told me to write this, I would've never fell asleep,
The horse never would've bit the cow,
and the mule would've never told the rat to go fishing.

Give me two minutes and I'm sure this'll be worth your time.
Unless you don't have two minutes, in which case,
You don't deserve my time. The time that I spent writing this,
is time spent breathing, and had I not breathed while writing this,
I'd probably still not have died yet.

So then there were three potatoes, of course I call them pototoes, don't ask why,
and the last mouse told me to grab them. But of course
me being a pilot and all,
told him to do it himself.
So you know what he did? He took the apple and ate it.
Didn't even bother sharing.

And so last night we completed the ceremony, flowers and all.
Left the coats to hang, and walked out the house into a place we called,
outside.

Fin.



I particularly like the line where you said
and had I not breathed while writing this,
I'd probably still not have died yet.

This metaphor captures exactly how little time you spent writing this and describes it to the reader in a poetic way.

Unfortunately there are some downsides to this poem. This includes use of capital letters in which you sometimes put capitals after commas and sometimes you don't. Be consistent.

Also, you should have mentioned me more often, It would have made the poem even more interesting than it already is.

Fin.

This is hilarious. I was so confused and I was laughing so hard. I love it. Your poems make me smile. Keep it up!
