Give me a subject and I'll write you a poem about it. Or try to.

If you can provide any details, that could help. For instance, here's one about a hamster named Paulina who likes grapes:

Paulina the ham-
ster, grapes are her jam.
Her hamster friend Pam,
stirs jam in a pan.

I would like a poem about parrots in the jungle please!

In the lush green hills of Chiapas,
a pair of macaws can be found.
Their names are Michel and Maracas,
and the two of them make quite a sound.

First Michel will start caw-caw-pacaw-ing
Then Maracas comes in with a trill
And the both of them hit a crescendo
That will give you, dear reader, a thrill!

i want a poem full of rage and vitriol about a subject of your choosing

Kaiser Schnitzel found a slat
and subsequently ripped it.
Yesterday it was still flat:
That fucker could've flipped it!

e: I never promised the poems would make sense. I'm going for quick turnaround here.

can you now do a poem about summer cover crops for the southeastern US that will build nitrogen and organic matter in the soil? I've been meaning to learn about that

If your field full of cotton
Has some soil that's just rotten,
Then sit down while you get taught, 'n
Learn to cure your crappy dirt.

Friends, just bring this new seed over,
And before you can pet Rover,
You'll be swimming in new clover!
And--I promise--it won't hurt!

Yes! That cheerful little flower
has a crazy superpower!
Because hour after hour,
it will fixate nitrogen!

When your soil's health's replinished,
well, just till it, `cause you're finished!
Plant your cotton non-diminished,
And admire your busy gin!

write a poem about smoking oxycontin off a piece of tin foil tia

If you like high-risk narcotics,
But injection's too chaotic,
And sublingual application's
a technique you think is crap,

Then my friend, please let me tell you
For 2 bucks I'd like to sell you
this old beaten-up Bic lighter
and this piece of Reynold's wrap!

Shoulda written "ingestion" instead of "injection". Oh well.

I was at the local grocery and some random customer asked if I knew where the aluminum foil was (I do not work there). I told him no, and a bit later I saw the same guy at checkout. I asked if'n he found the foil, and he said the cashier was getting it for him, it was apparently behind the counter with the cigarettes etc. apparently when it was just in the aisle near the plastic wrap people were tearing corners off and freebasing drugs in the bathroom, then flushing their crumpled foils. apparently it cost the store 20 gs or something to dig up the break room floor and fix the plumbing.

if you knew my neighborhood this is the most east saint paul poo poo ever lol

East Saint Paul!
Crazy, y'all!
There's dudes doing lines in the can!

Grillin' deer?
See cashier!
For tin foil, just talk to the man!

can I have another parrot poem, please?

Man, forget your stupid ferret,
I just got myself a parrot!
It's all rainbow-colored! Squawkin', shittin', birdie majesty!

I'mma teach this thing to swear, it

It can be difficult sometimes to get out of my own head and read a poem without a preconcieved idea about where the words need to fall in the rhythm. This was one of those times when I didn't do a great job.

e:

As I write this stuff,
sometimes it is tough
to pretend I've got eyes that aren't mine.

That limerick there,
it started out fair,
but it failed in the ultimate line

I would like a poem about jamming with friends in a band during a storm, and also one of them brought cute cupcakes.

The storm rages
And so does our band, until
Sweet cute cupcakes!

"Saoshyant and the destroyers", we call ourselves
Our sweet grooves have no equal
On earth or beyond: our jams so epic.

Even mighty Hephaestus, so enchanted by our tunes,
Swings by to pound out a few lightning bolts,
His snare instead a godly anvil.

As we crescendo to a musical high never before heard by human ears,
As creatures sub- and super-terranian zone into our gargantuan riff,
It is now time
To stop
And enjoy
Cute cupcakes!

I would like an ode to a sleepy kitten in a hammock please.

I think odes are supposed to start with "O," right? Let's just go with that.

O, cute sleepy hammock cat
Your paws so fluffy, your fur so soft
Chillin' out in the corner there
Your fishing net holds you aloft!

Chill with me, my fuzzy friend,
Together we can take a nap!
When evening comes, we'll go indoors
And you can curl up on my lap.

love the poems cruft, may i please have one about trying to do armpit fart sounds as an adult but the hair dampening them to the point of futility and then you're kinda looking out the window wondering what changed

My hand smells all gross now
That trick didn't work.
Kid, puberty hits like
An endocrine jerk.

When you poke someone's ribs with a bendy steel stick
It's traditional to say "touché".
But if OP won't update the thread fast enough,
Then instead you should call out "bumpé".

how did you gently caress up the unalienable sequence of a haiku while trying to own me?
i did it perfect. 5/7/5. included the nature.
bruh

Wasn't intending to burn you. Was intending to burn the notion of "joke haiku", which are neither haiku, nor funny.

An actual haiku is a a nature poem with a turn word in the second line. There aren't actually restrictions about syllabic count. What you wrote is more like a Senryu.

I recommend reading this essay about joke haiku to learn more!

In poem form:

I'm sorry, my friend.
I didn't intend
for that poem to read like a diss.

Instead, my sole aim
was to point out that lame
"joke haiku" are insulting: read this!
