Writing Shakespeare's Epitaph (poem)

[Claire]

[SIZE="1"]I wrote this for my creative writing class to replace the awful lyric poem I extracted from one of my songs. I am a lot happier with it and I seriously cannot wait to read this in class tomorrow.


I sent you a spark and waited a while,
Expecting some flames in return
Instead I was greeted and sadly defeated
By matches that just wouldn't burn.

A couple of letters supposedly saying
My words gave you audible laughter
But I feel in my heart that your lips did not part
And no giggles came tumbling after.

I thought that my topic would grow and expand
And spawn many more subjects as well
Though truly I tried, our discussion just died
The moment you said LOL.

How sad is this method of speech we all use
Where letters once easing our tone
Are dropped by the myriad, and replace a period
And now simply mean "leave me alone."

I'd understand were it a joke I had told
But something has gone quite awry
So if "lol" or "ok" is all you can say
Then I'd rather you just not reply.[/SIZE]

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Lovely, witty and full of truth. I love it.

And I'm punching myself in the head for even considering responding with a simple "LOL". Though it would actually fit in this instance.[/FONT]

[SIZE="1"]Thanks! I'm not sure I would have felt about that. Lol.

Lol.

Lol.

LOL.

I am sort of turning into an anti-LOL activist.[/SIZE]
