BUDS OF GRASS

Why do they call them fingers if they don't fing?

For those of you who weren't at the poetry reading dedicated to Biopond --
held this past week at the Kelly Writers House -- 34th Street presents a
selection of the presented poetry.

An Ode to Biopond

Oh, Biopond

You fill my days with sweet smoke.

Sometimes, when I take a hit, I cough so hard I choke.

I buy weed until I'm broke.

It's healthier than coke.

-- Potty McPott

Why I Love Biopond

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

Biopond, I love you.

-- Wesley Pipes

A Haiku to Biopond

Biopond beautiful

Hard to write many pretty haiku

When stoned from bong rips.

-- Whitney Houston

grown to man

clouds

like cars

hurt your head

-- Cheech

I'm a Sensitive Young Poet

As a young man I

Rode in cars

Climbed fences

And trees.

I ran from RA's

And I brought a bowl to biopond.

Sat with my girlfriend.

Oh, why do you still tempt me so?

Your eyes were so blue,

The smoke was so grey.

Can everyone feel my pain?

Seriously.

I find it helps me to get girls

When I write poetry about how sad I am.

Too bad that with it

I fucked up Biopond for everyone

The cops will come now.

-- Arty Farty

A Response to the Haiku to Biopond

I'll smack you, woman

I swear to God that I will

Stupid getting caught with drugs.

-- Bobby Brown

More Haiku to Biopond

Psychic Friends Network

Couldn't predict I would get busted

Least it was good shit.

-- Dionne Warwick

In da Biopond

Go!

Go!

Go shorty!

It's your birthday!

We gonna party like it's your birthday!

We gonna go to Biopond like it's your birthday!

And you know we don't give a fuck!

It's not your birthday!

-- Random drunk girl in Billybob's

Harmless?

I thought TV lie

But now I cry

I smoked weed

Now I'm pregnant, yes indeed.

-- Penn Freshman
