THE WORD AND VERSE Issue 1 - P1
The word and verse is an independent publication put together by members of DU for the purpose of entertainment and is in no way intended to offend or cause suicide. -Dec- p-1
From The News Desk[/font]
**Caution!!**[/font]
The Erotique Sector has reported a severe outbreak of all of the following: Foot-in-mouth, Dick-in-mouth, Tit-in-mouth and
Clit-in-mouth. It has also been raining jizz non-stop. If you must enter the Erotique Sector, be sure to wear welly boots and any
DU-issued plastic safety goggles. Remember: do not look any erothicks in the eye. Horny-I can be extremely contagious.
**Christmas Appeal**[/font]
There has been an epidemic of sudden deafness among DU poets. They are clicking into poems and are instantly rendered deaf.
Muggle completely acknowledges that at least one member may feel the need for shouting given her physical shortcomings. The
purpose of this appeal however is to 1.raise awareness and 2. raise some much needed funds for a virtual pair of hands to do sign
language at the bottom of poems.
Rumor Has It:
The second coming of Christ was thought to have occurred some months ago, and the Savior was thought to have been from the
southern region of the United States. Rumor has it, though, that the Preacher responsible for spreading the word has suffered a near
fatal accident whilst attempting to walk across the Mississippi Delta. -- Get well soon Goodest!

The Week That Was: A Summary[/font]
Whilst the young mice rush around threads of intent, the DU forums have been uncovering current, worldly issues, and I intend to
picket at the steps of the United Nations next congress in support of these wondrous issues uncovered.
A standard “Introduce yourself” thread was demoted as far too insignificant, and a new, greater, larger, more intense thread
has been filling our screens. Quickly recognised for its unique question: “What is you disorder?”, the thread was disguised under the
pseudonym “Tell about you're self”. It really did develop the fashion world in a single post. The disorders in that post made
me feel useless and insignificant for being simply fucked up.
Some were so complicated that I had no chance of pronouncing the words, not to mention remembering the order of the letters
composing the abbreviations. It took me long enough to conclude that some of the list were actually disorders and not sexually
transmitted diseases (or STDs). And then, like light from a dark past, one member admitted to being four of these terrible things.
Whilst in denial, this, my dear friend, is commonly referred to as ‘Multiple Personality Disorder’ (or MPD).
Treatment for this is simple:
1. Decide which 3 personalities you do not like
2. Then make them stand in a straight line
3. Hit each on the head with a stick, and
4. Run away!
From the side panels, a “Question:" What do you do if your grandfather touches you while you lay sleeping?
Well, I would have said to punch him on the nose and run away. Exceptions may be made in the unfortunate event that he had
actually passed. So here is my real advice: “Smack your brother on the head with a stick and run away!”
Someone whose username I have conveniently forgotten, has been grounded. Oh, and "why" you ask? Yes, you guessed it. He was
playing “Donkey Kong”. What the… “Even my Great Great Grandfather has given up on 'Donkey Kong'”. You're lucky you were just
grounded, dear defendant. Your parents could have run up to you, hit you on the head with a stick and run away!
A world wide poetry movement? Why yes, we do have a world wide poetry movement. It is called "Deep Underground Poetry". Now
stand here. Yes. Stand still. *Hits threadmaker on the head… with a stick… and… runs away*.
But the week that was would not be a week at all if no one took note of the admissions of our guardians, who admitted, (which, we
all know, is good. The first step to any recovery is accepting that you have a problem) to their continual social suicide, simply have
no desire to read anything Harry Potter. What’s more, in the thread aptly entitled “I am a snob”, no one - not one person -
ran up, hit him on the head with a stick, OR ran away.
Talking about militant stars, I must congratulate the genius duo who managed to start workshop and complete a song in the poetry
workshop threads. Don’t they know that the workshop thread is a place for unrelenting begging for “honest critique” that one does
not want? Be careful here: The possibility exists that the next devil who dares to shout the words “new”, “honest” & “critique” in one
sentence in any thread might find themselves hit on the head with a stick 4,925 times. And a mass ‘run away’ of that calibre could be
similar to a stampede.
Also this last week, by majority vote, it has been decided that a particularly numbered Ann (pseudonym for another ghastly name
which is meaningless-ness-ness), should be "hit squarely on the head with a stick.” 4,925 times, and subsequently, run away from.
Free sticks will be issued to all DU members with Muggle passes via PM some time next week. Use them wisely, stars will be given
for any replacement sticks required. -AJ

Ask The Doc[/font]
Q -- I've noticed the increase in capitalist (excessive capitalization of everything) poetry on the DU site lately. How can I help to
rectify this seeming catastrophe?
A--Boycotting seems like the most effective solution. Is this excessive use of capitals affecting your 'performance'? You
should PM me, and we will have a more in-depth look at the situation.
....
Q -- My wife thinks, I'm having an affair with a DU poetess. Should I tell her that I am?
A -- Well? Are you?
PM to Muggle if you have anything interesting to ask or add. But we doubt you do. Why yes, that was a challenge.[/font]

Featured Poet:[/font]
**Six-Out**[/font]
So, for our first Featured Poet, the W&V group went scouting Deep Underground for a poet who is underrated, underread, under-
voted and under-commented-upon; and after some nominating, voting, and deliberation, Six-Out has been chosen to bust our cherry
on this article! We love him for his distinct, lyrical, rhythmic style and his open, no-flash-photography images. His work captures the
colours, tones, textures of the moment with a deceptively loose looking structure, whilst holding all the precision in the beat which lies
most often in the line breaks. Reading out loud is the trick to this poet's work. It is peppered with controversial punctuation, but his
thoughtful usage gives it an intriguing aesthetic personality. -EV

we're lost in oblivion- present tense

we spell out immortality.

screaming for freedom. we need this peace.
