Best Assembly Poems

I whizzed past the assembler, add
count in octal, subtract 
hexadecimal. Found error 
in the dump file, all zeroes
and wondered, is this an omen?

Surprise! write me an algorithm
for a full third of test score.
Sort all data in a file
swap and exchange,
compare and relate.

Loop through the right...

Holi, a hearty enthusiastic festival in horizon
Colours curdling, water washing every moron;
Out of us evil ever going and playing on
Land of character cherished by coloured lawn.
What a scene to see! Gracious glory gone
If you miss this mesmerizing festival upon
A folly. Foolish will be called such...

Welcome to the Motown Motor City,
asphalt carpet ghetto grind
Automated fated urban living,
everyday inner-city surviving
Hard mean streets handing out no pity,
sharpens perceptive razor minds
Last stop underground freedom giving,
all-day Exodus gospel arriving

Factory-built hearts living manufactured dreams
Black Bottom be a lowly place to start,
Paradise Valley is a forgotten...

In all schools, there is assembly conn
Which directs the class or school yon
Expectations of all – trustee – the swan:
Choosing topics and teachers from Taiwan.
Keeping updates is teacher’s duty since eon
So is the assembly to represent omicron.
Different themes or topics about nylon
All are dealt in...

Faintly falling in failing flight-
En route to crash in Death's Delight!
(To be blown apart, 'tis a better start)
Than to travel back and make things right...

Hey s'up Joe? You bring the beer?
Yup, I'll set it here within our reach.
You know, we've been at this a year..
I see you got that last part complete.

This book sure was a nice find, Bill.
Yeah, though I'm not sure about these kits.
What ya mean?. Hand...

Some Assembly Required

By Elton Camp

If a product has these words, better stay away
Unless you want to toil on it at least half a day

Pages of instructions the maker will provide
And a list of parts that are said to be inside

Expect the tiny print to be...

It comes with the instructions
Listing every single step
And if there is a problem,
You can call the service rep.

The hardware's all included - 
Every nut and bolt and nail - 
Yet still, when self-assembling,
You should prepare to fail.

For few stay calm when things don't work
And many...

A mere whisper of a mortal is a card on a tree. Unopened. Oh what godly prowess is occurring at this time. At this the thistle of time where Theremins and terrapins catch thermometers in spins. Justification is rife. Short day is not a short...

(On the Mother’s day)

Born out of my mother’s womb,
My hazed eyes of the present day
Converge the soft soil of this samsara
Feeling the amorous warmth 
Of illimitable and immeasurable
I'm quite conscious of. 

Grown up I'm 
In the tough and sturdy legs 
Massaged by the pure oil
Of...

Stressed/unstressed syllables (ten to a line,
remember!) take their turns.  Fourteen in all
(that’s lines, not syllables), which often fall
in blocks of eight and six.  You’ve got that?  Fine.
Now for the rhymes.  Petrarchans intertwine
like this, in staggered couplets, as they sprawl
the page. ...

Sleepy Sanctuary was awakened from the night
By sheepish rays of morning light.

Silence was stirred from its slumber, too,
As ripples and blurs disturbed the deep blue.

Irony came forth as I peered at their waddle.
"Goodness," I said, "they look like bottles."

All clothed in formality, they seemed very...

Do you ever think about film characters in the realms of reality?

Think about someone like Grima Wormtounge making Saruman a pot of tea?

What about the eye of Sauron trying to find someone to play monopoly or Frodo, giving the ring to Gollum so he can...
