Goth poems

[quislibet]

shellefly pointed out this bad goth haiku thread on someone's LJ; I felt compelled to contribute (and so these are crossposted):

The thornèd rose, it
pierces pallid flesh, and then
I drink greedily.


Surrender self to
music; swoop; swirl; but don't get
burned by cigarettes.


Brand new livejournal.
Should I be shadepixie or
deathcat69?


That last one took longer than it should, as I had to verify that I wasn't mocking someone's real username, and my first three or four tries were in fact taken.

mistresshellena will be so pleased!

Then the day is saved!

Haven't seen that one, but it sounds reasonable.

[quislibet.livejournal.com]

...uh, what it says, I guess, as I have no idea what I would have meant had I meant that other thing.

It's okay. I just don't have cable, and so have only seen a handful of episodes.

[emerald-aurora.livejournal.com]

I love that episode.

Great dance moves, too.

[quislibet.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Few things worse than a lit cigarette in the hand of some flailer on the dance floor.

You know it!

And then there's the "spiked object / fishnet" collision problem.

This almost made me snort Diet Coke on my keyboard.

[quislibet.livejournal.com]

It's sad but true. But I'm glad you didn't damage your keyboad.

[quislibet.livejournal.com]

...board.

[quislibet.livejournal.com]

No, no; it's okay, you're pre-numbered.

[quislibet.livejournal.com]

Don't worry; proving that you're pre-numbered will be mandatory soon.

It really would save time later, when everyone's waiting in line at the tattoo parlors.
