Poems that can't be made better by using more than three words

[QDeathstar]

Do you have the fun scissors that cut in wavy patterns quix? I think maybe that happy patterns might make them less angry.

I'm not sure if they are good words anymore...

[Quixilated]

I'm sure they are lovely words, P. I do have several pairs of wavy scissors ... I also make lovely snow flakes ... I'd even be willing to put up an embarrassing poem if it would convince your poem to let you post it. Dying of curiosity ... Can't leave the situation unresolved.

[Lizzie]

I can't imagine what use they could have for the bottom half of a bunch of pictures but whatever floats their boat ... I'll get out the scissors ...

This whole thread is a big, beautiful poem in and of itself.

[shemthepenman]

i can barely think of three words that couldn't be improved by adding more words, let alone a poem. cogito ergo sum? maybe? er. . . god is dead? lightsabre cocksucking blues?

anyway, what are the words? are they any good?

[ellajam]

Or maybe a self-referential title:

"Go Fuck Yourself"

Maybe those are the three words.

[shemthepenman]

Ah, he's built them up too much. They'll seem pompous now, no matter what. It'll be something like "a clown cries" sometimes the old 'better to say nothing and have people think you're a fool... Etc.' line can give one a false sense of security.

You need to explain to the words the benefit of having a title.  For example, the poems of yore
that had no titles just used the first line as a title, which means the first word in your case.  Would
the other two words be ok with one of the words having the elevated position of title word?  That would
be the equivalent to erecting a statue in its honor.  Unless it is hands down the best word, you're going
 to have dissension and petty jealousy. For the sake of peace and unity I strongly recommend a title.
 This is how you can argue the case to them, then once they agree you can cram as many words as possible
into the title .. And they won't be able to object because they already agreed.  

Good idea! If twelve little-pony-rainbow-cake-sweet-kitten words were used, those nasty old
icky-yucky words could not withstand their sugar-cute assault and would be nauseated into submission. 
Not that that's actually necessary as kittens, harmless though they may seem, each possess 16 razor-sharp claws
and 4 needle-like teeth and the bad old poo-poo words would be out-numbered 4 to 1 by vicious little creatures.

Also, the suspense is killing me.  Are you planning to let us actually read the poem???? Is there any plea we can
make to the words to convince them to let you share them with us?????

I'm beginning to suspect that there are NO WORDS AT ALL; that the OP is TROLLING us a big one!

[QDeathstar]

lots of anger ^^^ up here.

I am not trolling anyone, but the three words, well they can't be controlled and quite frankly cannot be helped, by more words or wavy scissors, or topless photos. The addage "better to say nothing have people think you a fool," does not apply here as unfortunately I have already trodded down the path of speaking and removing all doubt.

[ellajam]

Fool, troll, well there's two words. I doubt anyone on this site hasn't been a bit of both.

[Quixilated]

p is not a troll. P is a tortured artist and possibly a genius. Also I could be wrong, but am pretty sure he would never write about rainbow kittens. I understand why you don't want to post the words after all this hullabaloo, but it's going to torture me if you don't. Can you whisper them just to me? Would the words let that happen so I can sleep without this cliffhanger? Would a chicken poem written by a possum pay the toll?

[UselessBlueprint]

I haven't asked them yet, we aren't on speaking terms at the moment. Are there poems that just start without a bold headline? That sounds dangerous, I mean, how would you know where the old poem stopped and the new one started. I will go to my words and demand a title.

Missed a lot of the discussion, which I am too lazy read right now, but I wanted to remark on this. In a lot of several [citation needed] corpuses (or whatever the "correct" plural of corpus is) , this can be a serious problem. Nevertheless, dangerous can be fun.

[QDeathstar]

After conversing with my words, it seems they have given me a title, so we are making progress on that front:

Geocoordiated Addresses Might Mingle While Mortals Sleep

is the title. Sounds like perhaps three words just wasn't enough to get the job done, or my words are being assholes again.

[Quixilated]

That. .. Is not what I was expecting... At all. Now curiosity levels have skyrocketed due to an inability to wrap my brain around everything that is going on in the title. Is it possible these are magic words and if you post them/say them out loud or something, you're going to end up in an alternate dimension or a pocket universe? Maybe that is why they are so hostile, they could be highly dangerous. Please be careful.

[RiverNotch]

GEOCOORDINATED
ADDRESSES
MIGHT
MINGLE
WHILE
MORTALS
SLEEP!!!!!

....nothing. I think. Might need more cords....

[QDeathstar]

I have been informed I am "missing a fucking comma, you fucking retard" but I'm not sure where

[RiverNotch]

Not in the title, I think. Unless by comma, you mean a gimp suit, in which case yes, where is the gimp suit?

[QDeathstar]

I'm wearing it while I await the baby oil.

p is not a troll.  P is a tortured artist and possibly a genius.  Also I could be wrong, but am pretty sure he would never write about rainbow kittens.  I understand why you don't want to post the words after all this hullabaloo, but it's going to torture me if you don't.  Can you whisper them just to me?  Would the words let that happen so I can sleep without this cliffhanger?  Would a chicken poem written by a possum pay the toll?

Well... I guess it's not severe trolling as most people in the "discussion" having willingly placed themselves in the role of trollee.
Maybe a better term would be "consensual trolling"; or (why not go all the way), it could be termed a "dada-esque discussion topic".

But I still doubt the words exist. Though, to be charitable, I'd certainly admit to the possibility that a tortured artist's brain might be capable
of hallucinating an illusion of their existence.



P.S. THC (or any of a number of other hallucinogens) might certainly be capable of being absorbed through the skin
when applied to the interior of a latex suit of some sort.

[QDeathstar]

Three words exist. They have a title. Frankly, I feel your feeling insecure with your inability to create three word masterpieces.

[Lizzie]

Is that the challenge now? My three word masterpiece is better than your three word masterpiece?

Hmmm.....I'll have to think of something good now.
