    I am cold, I am tired

    Better get up or I’m gonna get fired!

      It’s a poetry war
      On the daily thread
      Are you gonna join the rap
      Or are you staying in bed?

        I’d love to join the rap

        And stay in bed

        But I’ve gotta go to work

        Or I won’t get fed

          That’s what I tell my cat
          When she’s on my lap sleeping
          But she tells me that’s a serve of bullshit, heaping
          'Cause she know that food comes from the cupboard and a tin
          And not from whatever other place I’ve been

          (today’s bonus hint: if you want to do single line breaks, put a double space at the end of the line and hit enter once)

              That method might have saved the comment I deleted
              'Cause after a copy and a paste double spaces were yeeted
              And it looked pretty dumb telling how to keep lines single
              when in my own comment all the lines did mingle

                You folks are all legends and I’m lovin’ this thread
                You’ve put a lot of happiness in this jaded head
                And now I gotta go to work and get me some bread
                But with joy in my heart though my eyes look dead

        dear raven poem

        Dear Raven, my friend, this is no war,
        Poetry brings us together, an open door.
        All are welcome here to write and rhyme,
        Express thyself, in or out of time.
        Worry not about beats, no beatings today,
        Just peace, and venting, in a fun way.
        So come join us, write a fine ditty,
        We are just humans, and we’re all so pretty!

          My dear StudChud I am properly chastened
          Into a battle I should not have hastened
          It’s the daily thread, here for friends and fun
          And the beats and rhymes are for everyone

            the joy of prose i suppose

            No shame to be had, only joyous celebration!
            The dawn is upon us, a cold but welcome revelation.
            For most are readying, eating, and showering,
            To work all day under their bosses brows, glowering
            But this thread, daily and constant, bring hope to us suffering
            That we are accepted, a rare and wonderful thing <3

          Hell naw! this is a war
          'cos writings what I live for
          You better be on your game
          If you think you can tame
          This beast, and make a name
          For yourself. I ain’t play’n

            stupid rap

            Yo, sit down and check it
            Before you mess up
            And wreck it
            This is a war of attrition
            My rhymes are not missin’
            We all know I’m winnin’
            In this game of prose-chicken
            So be aware of where you tread
            Don’t let the rhymes go to your head
            Though poems aren’t my buttered bread
            My lines are tight and won’t be shred

              Yo chill playa, i weren’t talkin no smack
              But shit, now that you’re bringin’ it… Your rhymes are whack
              They lackin’, you slackin’, you tracking to go broke
              This ain’t no joke. Your rhymes, yeh they keep time
              But mine? They come with that essence, that effervescence
              Maybe I’ll teach you some time if you can keep that ego in line
              🎤⬇️🤛

                lame reply poem

                I fell asleep before I saw this diss,
                You win, my friend, sorry for this.
                I didn’t turn up and reply in rhyme,
                Your word’s superior, for now and all time.\
