Once upon a time
I came upon a crime
the crime it seemed to me
was your awful poetry
I took your ass to trial
and beat you by a mile
You joined the prison thugs
the judge and I got hugs.
-Darin Skeks

Well, I laughed, so thanks for that.
I must apologize that I'm not the guy for peotry normally. But sometimes, when I just have the urgent need to express something, and I'm drunk, I try it anyway, although I don't really know about metric and so on. But that's why I don't named these thread 'Post your most aestetically poem'.
If the archive wasn't fucked, I would find/post some dank limericks about hot dogs I wrote while shitfaced. I was writing one for part of a job application and drunk/stoned me got carried away with it.
Do you have to be depressed to write well?
I think so.
>>7591506
I think so.
>>7591514
Well at least you're right.
Nah. You have to have been depressed at some point in your life though.
your diary desu
>>7589759
You don't want to read that depressing shit.
I wrote a poem in my journal once that I liked. Posted it last month. I really don't keep up with writing in it as much as I should.

in the cold-drowned woods
where the air ceased breathing'

Why do so many funny people come from Canada?
The secret prize on roll up the rim cups
Honestly I think Ondaatje is our best living writer but I haven't even read Munro or 90% of "can lit" so who am I to say? Rawi Hage is one of my favourite writers but both he and his books are decidedly hybrid Lebanese-Canadian. I guess being born in a war torn hellhole gets the literary juices flowing.

What are some of your favorite opening lines from a book?
"You must not tell anyone," my mother said, "what I am about to tell you. In China your father had a sister who killed herself. She jumped into the family well. We say that your father has all brothers because it is as if she had never been born."
from "The Woman Warrior" by Maxine Hong Kingston
>KER-PLUNK! My turd slammed into the toilet water, showering my hairy ass with piss-water. In some act of divine mercy, the utter mess of chipotle-infused garbage I had eaten the previous afternoon had managed to solidify itself into one giant log, rather than tormenting me for hours as a greasy stew. I knew that this was somehow a lucky day. A red letter day.
The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath

"I got worms, boy—had 'em ever since I was a kid. But I won't get rid of 'em 'cause I like the way they make my asshole itch." His hand came up to pat his belly. "I gotta drink a lot of beer and eat a lot of pizza pies and French-fried potatoes to keep a gut like this and all them little fuckers fed. I got a hairy ass and it sure cakes up crusty. But I just don't believe in wipin' when I got a freaky little son of a bitch like you to eat it out for me. HOWL"
I don't get it.

I'm pretty sure Ginsberg didn't write this ...
Im looking for something in this genre what works well as an audiobook,or even better than reading it maybe.
Something like the house of leaves?
When I say like the house of leaves I mean something what gives you that creepy eerie feeling.But works well through audio.
>>7597072
If there's a John Dies At the End audiological tape, then that would fit.
I imagine that I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream would be good.
Definitely The Fall of the House of Usher. It reads like it was made to be heard read aloud. He even wrote the final phrase in all caps in the original script, ostensibly indicating the reader should hear it in a booming, horror-movie-preview-guy type voice. If an audio version included a couple key sound effects, it would really be terrific.
>>7597082
That was a fucking awful film.
What /lit opinion on Henry Miller writings?
>>7596899
One of the great moderns, on par with Joyce.
I enjoyed the two Tropics and Black Spring
got bored with The Colossus of Marousi even though it's supposed to be one of his best
never finished Sexus. I wasn't all that impressed with it.
