Did you compose any cringeworthy poems/songs/stories in your youth?

Nope, I've always been pretty manly.. The strong silent type.. Too thick to write poetry tbh, although I'd love to have the ability.

I'm as manly as you can get for a man i can do taekwondo upside down no problem and can break a 1 foot slab just by looking at it but i made a few cringers of a poem in my taekwondo days...

Cringe part 1

Now you'll see the midnight sun for all your days from hell they'll come,
tearing back from all dead spaces only left for other places,
you can sight the change of face just fixed inside an open space,
one ole kneedle same ole story left for dead in all hells glory.

Cringe part 2

Bullets come from all damn angles, must be from the west she argues,
strikes her in the leg one bullet another one straight for the gullet,
i've been shot before she says, now i'm on my knees in dread.

Can't remember cringe part 3, maybe thats a good job because it was not good at all.

There ye go, my waffle cringe poems of the day. I hope you didn't cringe into a crinkle crisp reading it. If i can remember the other few cringy ones i'll forward them here in bold so you can all cringe as one.

I was never one to write poems or anything, drawing was my thing. It was only in second year for English that we had to write one for class. I did and one of the english teachers for the LC was looking at it and thought it should've belonged to them.

I won the Connaught competition for it and a €20 voucher too.

I'm actually kinda proud of that!

I had what some people might call a very Euphoric day and wrote it down as i was driving back home from playing with strange plants..

took a drive down to the country last week and while driving in the deep country i came across a very narrow bend in the road and slowed down to almost a standstill, but as i turned left at this bend i looked out my right side window while driving on and seen a mist but in this mist i could see something that resembled a city from a distance and lights in the sky.

I stopped the car and got out and walked up a small hillside for a better vantage point and at this stage the mist was dissapating and i could clearly see a city in the distance which looked approximately 2 miles distant and i could still see lights in the sky so i walked a mile and got closer and could see that this was not a city that i would be accustomed to, it was actually floating above the ground and the lights in the sky were flying machines that made no noise, come to think of it i heard no noise at all from what i saw and continued on.

when i got close to this city structure i could clearly see that it was more advanced than any city i have seen and the lights in the sky were some sort of craft that were sort of plazma based and some were landing and taking off from this magnificent city hovering above the ground and i could see people/humans like me entering these craft. it was a very mild night and the closer i got to this spectacular view a mist formed again and everything shimered and then the night was in complete darkness and my visual experience just vanished in the mist.

when the mist cleared shortly after there was no city nor was there any lights, it seemed that everything i had seen in crystal clarity just vanished. i will never forget that experience i encountered on that warm night in the deep countryside. i'm left now with too many questions and will probably never know what it was i had seen. the only thing i can think of is that i seen something from the future or a city in the future for one short moment as if it was a vision from the future.

l remember l was about 9 or 10 when l wrote this poem:

The World

The world is round and always should be, lts good to have friends like you and me.
Animals are free, and should always be.
War is not right, so we should not fight.

The world is round and always should be, lts good to have friends like you and me.



wtf was l thinking :L :L

To paraphrase Ben Elton, I gave up all that sort of lark once I discovered the joys of ****, and have never had any reason to regret my decision since.

My friend, when she was 14, insisted that me and her should start a metal band. Neither of us had any musical talent, so I said no, but she went ahead and wrote a song anyway. The song was about her fears. Her two main fears were clowns, and the ghost of a fish that she believed was haunting her bedroom. I can't remember the whole song, but she called it "God save the fish," and the first verse started off:

One day as I was going down
Into town
I saw a clown
His frown
Scared me and I fell down

Then there was some more and it ended:

Go and catch a fish fish fish fish fish
Catch a fish
God save the fish.
