Drones can leave the nest

The queen is their slave

is frightfully similar to

“Worker bees can leave.

Even drones can fly away.

The Queen is their slave.”

by Chuck Palahniuk.

Was that accidental? I like stumbling across a shared invention, when more than one person comes up with pretty much identical ideas, seems to suggest a shared mind sometimes.

Chuck Palahniuk has got some cool quotes actually;

“The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.”

and I like this one a lot as well,

“If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you slow down? Or speed up?”

...back to the poetry.

hypocrites with masks

play hide and seek in the dark

its' all a good laugh

Hey Dude

Yeah i should prob just point out that poem was me having a laugh coz it's also in Fightclub lol. Not my poem at all!

That first quote was awesome, don't really understand the second one.

Also, it wasn't me trying to gain credit for the poem, was hoping someone would recognise it and have a laugh. Don't let it spoil my chances :blush:

cheers

oooh controversy so early in the game!

peaceful son, that poem was actually one that i would have considered to be in the top 10. so in future if you're going to post a non-original poem please explicitly say this or it's just gonna come across as slightly dicey.

Ahaha shit sorry man, all my other poems are 100% original! Any poetry buffs here can probably vouch for their authenticity.

And it is really still early in the game? How long is this bloody comp gonna go for lol?

[edit] got into a nerdy winge about a plot discrepancy in the fight club movie, it's an annoying discrepancy, that shatters the illusion of the movie as a complete and perfect creation, like jesus walking the earth in movie form... so I won't mention it and ruin it for y'all, cuz it's a bloody good movie!... /end tangent

Tangent Universe

divergent realities

it's a piece of cheese

The water cuts through

solid rock turns into goo

the beach is my home

rough jagged landscapes

in my dreams i see the shore

sea level rising
