Kim Addonizio: Tell Me

Sounds Good, 101 Poems to be Heard
I'll go ahead and add the publisher's page for my book (which I absolutely would include as a good "beginning" book) but it won't be out until late January.
ENJOY!
*edit: I absolutely WOULD include my book as a beginner book--sorry for any confusion!
He's actual a beautiful poet, check out this book of his poetry The Beautiful Poetry of Donald Trump (Canons) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1786892278/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_0FndBbSSZZYAB
Did...did you just compose that?
My Google-fu got nothing.
I bestow upon you the following knowledge: this exists.
The Limerick
"This is the largest collection of limericks ever published, erotic or otherwise. Of the more than 1700 published herein, none is otherwise."
Yep. That's really quite a big issue, and several of the most prominent books seem to be from that strand of thought. In fact, one of the most recommended books, The Tao of Pooh, follows in this tradition. I also feel it doesn't help that there's such books as The Tao of Meow and the like.
Blatantly stolen from the cover of this book. Bad spammer.

The Limerick https://www.amazon.com/dp/0517065053/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_kbknybEBN6S2F
That's for advanced readers. Try these:
Go the F**k to Sleep, The Pop-Up Book of Phobias, The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories, and my son's favorite Auschwitz: A History in Photographs
Here you go guys and gals!

I got a book of political cartoons, a book of good hiking trails in my area and this glorious masterpiece Pop Sonnets: Shakespearean Spins on Your Favorite Songs https://www.amazon.com/dp/1594748284/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_WWWGwb8D9QGX1

I own this, its hilarious
Just popping in to say that the Kindle version of the book "Down the F'n Tubes: an ode to fertility futility" is free until midnight (not sure what timezone) in the US today!
I would love a subreddit where shit like that, claiming that House of Leaves(of all things) is pretentious would not be allowed
People like that should read stuff like "Broetry" and stay out of serious discussions about other books

It was The Limerick by G.Legman. Got a PDF for it so I can quote it when I cast Vicious Mockery aswell :P

Sein Kriminalroman scheint wirklich gut zu sein. Hätte ich auch erst nicht gedacht, bei der selbstironischen Vorstellung bei der BJ Gala.
Schaut doch mal einfach auf Amazon, wenn es euch interessieren könnte!
Generell finde ich Poetry Slammer oder Stand Up Comedians als Gast bei Bohn Jour super. Bitte mehr von solchen Leuten einladen :)
Besonders diese Live Hörspiele vom Jan Zymny haben so einen klassen Quatsch Club Comedy Flair versprüht und sorgen immer für gute Lacher :)

I'm surprised Zombie Haiku didn't make it.
On amazon, as are all things....
Some Limericks by Norman Douglas (8-Oct-2009) Paperback https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012HUEBV4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Ss5YCb3CX09JR
Apparently they can do it right through the book's Amazon page; the book will be free to download digitally as the Kindle version between Tuesday, Sept. 3 through Friday, Sept. 6.
Make sure to give an honest review, even if you say it's bad, ha... Hope everyone enjoys it though, that would be ideal!
I had a lot of fun making the project, so feel free to reach out to me if you want a list of the OSPs I used, if anyone wants to work with the source material and see if they can come up with their own poems!
If you loved it, you'd probably also like a book of short stories Angus Oblong also created which are in a similar vein of the show. An example of one of the stories.
This was beautiful and not perfectly in line with my beliefs. but so fucking close. Plus, the limerick thing blew my mind. I had this bookas a teen (early 1990s) and lost it. A few years ago, I found it at a library sale and bought it again... Never even thought about the synchronicity, and reasons of why it returned to me, as it is pretty obscure. Thanks, man, for all the ideas you've now added to my monkey brain. Ewige Blumenkraft and may you see all the Fnords with no fear.
For those interested in bad poetry, I cannot recommend The Stuffed Owl highly enough. Sample gem:
"Lines On A Sick Gypsy"
There we leave her,
There we leave her
Far from where her swarthy kindred roam
In the Scarlet Fever
Scarlet Fever
Scarlet Fever Convalescent Home
Just finishing off a book now, will update when it's done :)
Edit: Currently being reviewed before publishing
Edit 2: Going live soon...
Edit 3: I present my book, We know that you're wanking http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JW0O4TM
Here's a few more for either your awesome library or a baby shower present. ;)

Ugh. I have been misled:
>Prope mare erat tubulator
>Qui virginem ingrediebator.
>Dessine, "Ingressus!
>Audivi progressus!"
>"Est mihi" inquit tubulator.
has been represented to me to mean (loosely translated, I suppose):
>One day a young plumber from Leigh,
>Was plumbing a girl by the sea.
>Said she, "Stop your plumbing,
>There's somebody coming!"
>Said the plumber, still plumbing, "It's me."
That's what I get for using a book of dirty limericks as a Latin primer.
Edit: can't format.
For anyone who doesn't already know, the show was actually based on a book.
For this? https://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Poetry-Donald-Trump-Canons/dp/1786892278

Pretty sure it's from 'The Beautiful Poetry of Donald Trump' looks like a laugh: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beautiful-Poetry-Donald-Trump/dp/1786892278
Zombie Haiku. A journal of the apocalypse, with the entries written in haiku.

I own this book, and am shocked that most of the limericks in this thread are actually not in it. It's the largest collection of dirty limericks I know of. :)
This might be good for the Weird/creepy stuff :P
This For the nerdy stuff.
Both pretty good books in my opinion.
I'd love FTL if I get choosen :D
Steam ID
I'm a girl, I have insight x) don't give her a DVD, this is my first advice. DVDs get old and you watch it once and never again.
If she's into "girly stuff", anything and I'll repeat, ANYTHING, from this store will make her happy:
warning: this page contains intense amounts of cuteness.
http://niciportugal.wazala.com/category/pantufas/
(I linked a random product, I happen to find it adorable)
I just realized this is a portuguese store. my bad. If you can find in your country something like this, you're good to go. Be careful, not too childish. Cute/girly is different from childish!
Now I don't know how much you want to spend, that's why jewellery is tricky. If you can afford a watch, watches are good with anything.
a cute watch here another portugese store, sorry. I happen to own that model, I love it, just to give you an idea...
you can also go for Pandora bracelets, I personally find them a waste of money.
Picking jewellery from a simple store is not easy, so unless you really know what you are looking for, so, maybe... maybe no.
Ah, just yesterday I found this crazy creepy game.
If you wanna go something simple, this is very fun, not very long, that type of jumpscare game you can play with her.
And finally, this is a really cute/weird/dark little book from Tim Burton (the guy from the Nightmare before Christmas and such...)
It's not creepy or horror but it's dark enough so she might enjoy the stories. Amazon link here
