I made this out of the nicks of everyone who was online on my msn, including the title

I left all names out.

MSN list

Every night I dream of the better time
When I was sleeping in your arms.
Then I wake up sick;
Beauty is found in the most unlikely places.

Have you ever realized
That I love you?
That you have no idea who half the people are?
(Cross your fingers, press the button)
Sometimes I want to fade out.

Shouting angers the people,
Proudly whoring,
Arguing with each other.
Lost my mind,
Lost an hour
For 25 years.

This isn’t a debate;
This is acceptable.

Tin can messages

"April is the cruelest month..."
Prove them wrong.
God wants you to be an asshole.
In a desperate attempt to be cool I punched the lunch lady.
You ain't seen nothing yet.
soon we will paint frenchmen

I hate you!
Kayla and Noah, you two have the whitest teeth I've ever seen.

I'm Going biking with my buddy.
I'm not going anywhere without Carolyn,
The Aylmer St bandits,
baby octopi (who should be called inklets)
Nippissing here I come!

Kurt Cobain

We won't forget life in the essay free zone
Where shouting angered the filet o'fish
It was the last class ever
And there were only 2 papers left
Carrot juice constitutes murder
Working 1-10 is a real crime

PS I cheated, none of them are online, except maybe the last one who I have blocked so I can't see.

i should probably mention that you're allowed to move all the words around and not use some of them :lol:

i didn't write this one but it's from Annie Dillard's book of poetry Mornings Like This: Found Poems, and is, incidentally, one of my favourite poems:

(Composed from the text of Cugle's Practical Navigation, by Charles H. Cugle, published in 1936.)

Annie Dillard wrote:Signals at Sea

(If the flags in A's hoist cannot be made out,
B keeps her answering pennant at the "Dip"
and hoists the signal "OWL" or "WCX.")

CXL Do not abandon me.
A I am undergoing a speed trial.
D Keep clear of me - I am maneuvering
with difficulty.
F I am disabled. Communicate with me.
G I require a pilot.

P Your lights are out, or burning badly.
U You are standing into danger.
X Stop carrying out your intentions.
K You should stop your vessel instantly.
L You should stop. I have something
important to communicate.

R You may feel your way past me.

i have no idea if i'm doing this right, but mine is called:

FU Maria for rocking so much!

Damn baby, all I need is a lil bit, a lil bit of this,
and then a lil bit of that,
and maybe even some cute kittens being crushed by grand pianos.

One day, I'll get over you, I know I will,
I'll pretend my ships not sinkin,
and then maybe you'll realize,
phlegm,
weakness,
vomit,
essays all= no fun

Cutie, just remember,
the fact that no one understands you doesn't make you an artist,
and bubbles are evil.
Oh...goddamn...it's deafening.

We are done and done.
His stomach had been partly slit open,
the layers pulled apart and a shiny bubble of intestine exposed.
Look...OMG finch in toronto.

Now comes the stupid research,
Are you stealing wood?? I said are you stealing wood??
Yes, you the one with the wood in your hands!

After 2 hours of trying i finally got my ipod to work.
Mmmy,
Sin city. Best. Movie. Ever.
