1) First Line - Last Line Poem
No pain no gain You have to believe that they were wrong (Koyczan) Otherwise you’ll be a loser for your whole life. Work every minute work every second, Thinking about its delight. Everybody wants something, But not everybody gets it. People who pay with blood and sweat Will beat it. They rise, they fall, and then they rise again To be the best you shouldn’t put this an end I believed that they were wrong, I worked everyday to fix this broken soul. They said that this arm would never heal, I did everything and now it’s hard as steel. Taste of pain, taste of misery held me tight And my pain was my motivation. Never gave up until I had nothing to lose, Just to make myself a better creation. And I do. (Mojgani) |
2) Extended Metaphor Poem
Open Sea It is time to leave the shore, To discover new things, People should want more and more. Lots to see, lots to learn out there. Be ready for adventure. Life is full of risks Somebody has to take them, Then boring days is full of fun and tricks. To become better, To become stronger, Travel open seas forever. Now it is time to go, It is time to feed the hunger of curiosity. Every impediment comes with a reward, Nobody can earn it without trying it at all. |
3) Minesweeper Poem
Sudden Death Death is coming like a lightning Witness the apocalypse, don’t try its hard to stop Lie to yourself; think that there is a blue sky Kiss of death will find you and it will rain tears. Fast it will come and you will share the same place with enemies, Feel the pain it is not possible to heal. Sun goes down every second it will get your mother, Lovely it seems but it feel like a betrayal. Walls of other side will hit you fast, Bleeding will never stop until the end is reached. Stars will even laugh when they see you weep, Mystical creatures will get you with their insane anger. |
4) Defamiliarization Poem
Sad, Happy Why are these people happy? Do they have a problem? Maybe we should help them, Sad is the new happy, Everywhere is full of broken hearts. They are the ones, who enjoy the life now, They are the ones who must enjoy the life. Happiness disease is infecting people, Making them laugh, making them smile. Everywhere is full of sorrow, environment pumps sadness. Then this thing popped out and made people weird. Sad is the new happy, Everywhere is full of broken hearts. They are the ones, who live the real life now, They are the ones who must live through this life. Sad is the new happy, Grief is where people feel safe |

10) Persona Poem
Toilet Seat Hi fools I’m the unfortunate toilet seat. Someone just shit in me so I feel dizzy. Man, what did he eat? It was like the worst thing ever. People always do this. They eat everything and then just empty themselves in me. They don’t even thank me. People treat me like something worthless. In fact I am the one who protects their ass. I am the one, which makes them feel good when they are in a hurry. But I don’t really get them when they curse at me. Just because I am cold they don’t have to say bad things. I feel sick sometimes and Ionely sometimes. That’s why I am cold. Sometimes I miss a warm ass too. But what can I do sometimes… I’m just a poor worker. |
