    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.\
