Well, since that kidney stone passed the CalPig has been gushing "poetry" like an open fire hydrant. I'm sure everyone appreciates how she gives lots of words their own line. When you select your words more or less at random, it's only fair to do that, since any one word in the "poem" shares little or no kinship with its fellow selectees.
So, without further ado, enjoy the DUmp's answer to Punxsutawney Phil:

My poem in honor of........Spring...Not what you expect...
Sacrifice
Put your heart
on
the altar
let the gods
slash
there will be
blood
from
that purity
your love
will
flow
down
renew the
planet
in the spring
time to
sacrifice
yourself

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x9300985The always-appropriate description of the CalPig's "poetry":
Don't get me wrong - her poetry isn't bad. It's awful. It's the kind of thing that would blind God if He had to read it. It's a collection of words that should be machine-gunned down, one by one, preferably out in the desert, with no witnesses, and a nice young girl who could be counted on to claim that she'd been shooting jackrabbits. It's so bad, mirrors crack if anyone looking into a mirror while thinking of one of CP's poems runs the risk of permanent scarring, even blindness, while thinking of it as he peers into the mirror.
Her poetry needs immolation. She needs to have all writing implements and keyboards, paper, blank walls, toilet paper, paper towels, margins in newspapers, and even the blank part of framed works of art removed from her home until this idea that she's writing "poetry" passes. Maybe medication will help.
Despite TLB's disdain for the CalPig's "poetry", please note the copyright. As always, you may recite this poem for the enjoyment of family and friends, as many of us do, but you must refrain from accepting any payment from your audience.

2. My dear LeftyFingerPop!
I was feeling a bit more brutal than I normally do!
Her brutality toward the language and the concept of poetry is legendary.

3. I like the poem...
and the hard edge.
Oh god no! No! Never use the word "hard" with the CalPig! She'll post another of her erotic poems.

5. THAT is the best poem you have ever created.
Bar none.
The student becomes the master.
I cannot decide if DUmmy PNS is an absolute imbecile, or a sarcastic troll.

6. My dear Prisoner_Number_Six!
Really?
How can you say that?
I mean, it's just a riff on spring, sacrificial lambs (or whatever) and I just dashed it off earlier tonight.
I hardly did any editing!
This is crazyness!
Still.....
Thank you.

8. I'm still digesting this one
you posted it at an interesting time in my life, so I can't be objective about it...
Clearly, the CalPig has thoroughly digested these words and extracted all their nutritional value before passing them on to the DUmp. In fact, "digested words" might be a better name for it than "poetry".

Another one who begs the question: Imbecile, or troll?

17. My dear demtenjeep!
Well....I pay attention to what's going on inside my head...
And I observe my world closely, at least some of the time...
I always did this, but since I've been writing poetry, I do it more.
It's fun, too...
Thanks, sweetie!
Now that she has achieved regularity, we can expect another "poem" every day or so.
