What Hath God Wrought? -A sonnet
When stars rise high above the lab complex
And nothing's left to chance, left to perplex,
Once every migrant minnow has been tracked
And boiled down to data, printed, stacked—
There still (infernally!) exist attacks
On Mankind's cherished collection of facts,
Accusing it of killing poetry
Reducing Love to A, C, T and G.
But what of delicate intricacies
Laid bare by dedication to disease?
The world's a Rube Goldberg machine, and cheers—
We're fortunate enough to glimpse the gears!
They say that science kills artistic feel.
I say that beauty's forged from studied steel.

Wall Crawler
Like a spider
I climb the sky
I swing with web
through the night
My suit is covered
in black webs
I am colored
blue and red
No one can stop me
While I stop crime
"Levi, brush your teeth,
its bed time."
"aww.. mom..."
This was me when I was really young, geeky enough for you?

theemptyechoes said:Real Wizard
I don't waste my time with imitation wands,
I go outside and find the perfect one.
I caste many curses
and have even caste the unforgivable curses,
I'm not afraid of the Ministry.
If you get a fact wrong,
you instantly become a muggle
and shall be shunned,
or even "Avada Kedavra"-ed.
I am a real wizard
and will forever be a Hogwarts student,
any posers will be found
and shall "eat slugs"
Oh, I do love this one a lot! I have been called something of a witch in my time (and probably rightly so), and something of a b**ch too (also probably rightly so). Lol. So I totally get the vibe of this poem, and it is awesome! Let the posers eat slugs indeed, I say... as it should ever be.
Party in Slytherin House tonight! Who's with me?

Joker
A purple suit
with a purple tie
and a personality
that can never die
Bladed cards
match the batarang
Guns shoot flags
that say "bang"
He loves to make them laugh
leaving smiles on the corpses
He lives in a wacky reality
that he loves to warp
The undying nemesis
the one that gets away
Who cheats death
and returns to play again

This one time at band camp,
From day one to day ten,
That's how it starts.
You'll have to give in.
They're dancing beside the pyramid steps,
Or making out behind the band room,
The "nerds" are there,
But to us we're hot.
From the Secret Language,
That only Angel and Byrd know about.
To being "Snooty Bitches" when we march onto the field,
We band nerds know how to have fun.
We would dance like butterflies,
We made sure that the other bands would hear our chants.
"Who's going chicken huntin'?!"
"We's going chicken huntin'!"
We're geeks,
And we know it,
We're happy,
And we show it.
Not awesome, but whatever :3

Caped Crusader
Nananananananana
That's my song
I fight in the night
to defeat the wrong
I dress like an emo superman
with no powers at all
Just a cowl with pointy ears
and my gadgets to help me brawl
I have a car
Pimped out to the max
I glide through the night
as a human bat

America's Geek
I am America's geek
My name is Peter
I have to wear glasses
and I just got bit by a spider
I made an alias
another personality even
Who won't stop
til crime is defeated
But that is a different tale
Right now it is about me
I lost the glasses
but I still am a geek
I have great grades
and I am an scientist
You can see from my friend
That uses my experiments
I like to take pictures
of just about anything
Then again that is my job
I send photos to editing

A Love Poem
Roses are #FF0000
Violets are #0000FF
I am a Computer Geek
And I feel emotion toward you
You're sleeker than a Macintosh
Lighter than a NetBook
Cooler than my Clickwheel
And better than my books
I have officially concluded
You sit exactly five feet and eleven inches from me today.
That's two feet and four inches closer than
You were sent last time my way.
You are my complimentary angle.
We are blue and orange on a wheel of color.
The perfect match
In the ultimate equation.
It only figures
That the probability of you noticing me
Is no more than approximately .00035% of 100,487
You see.
As I will always long to recite
Newton's laws to your ear.
I realize that it is entirely impractical.
How would you say it... "Oh, tear."?
