"rory" poems
I'm considered to be nerdy Awkward, not flirty. They call me gay, Because I Cosplay. I must be a dork Because Zelda's my lord, And she's way cooler than any sport. Could someone love me? That couldn't be. I watch too much anime, And BBC. I praise The doctor and Spock. Even Sherlock. Cause in my opinion They're better than jocks. Being nerdy is quite fun, But you make me sound dumb. We're accepting and caring But please stop staring. Am I making this boring? Don't start snoring.. Just give me a chance. I'll make it last. We could play Skyrim or league. Wait, don't leave! I can be cool, Just like you! I can calculate big numbers in my head, Or make a fortress out of my bed I can be an ork, elf, or spy. Just as long as it's allowed by the die. I can cast spells online. Don't worry, you'll be fine! I can role play to the extreme!!! That's right, I call it d&d.; I'm proud to be a geek. Yes, we're very neet! We know our facts! We're anime maniacs. I'm good at mtg! It takes skill to be like me. I'm cool I tell you! I'm grand. But at the same time, You don't make me feel great. I'm a loser, A dork No, I don't like baseball, football, or hockey I can't bench and I don't lift. But I go to some pretty intense parties... On Xbox. My heart is bigger than my head.. No, not literally. I'd bring you a rose And write you a poem You'd be my Rory. This isn't the end of the story. I'd love you more than video games, Star Wars, and D&D.; In the end, You're always my MVP. You don't have to lie, I know you'll decline.. but my feelings won't change. They'll always be the same. Maybe I'd be cool.. If I were with you. But that'll never be Because you fail to see OTP. Then again, It's all good in the end Because.. Roses are red Violets are blue Manga costs less Than dinner for two.

To know just where your're going You must know where you've been You must respect the history The things others have seen It's true in all things relative Be it music, sports or life If you don't know where you came from You're just dancing on a knife Gherig, Ruth and Robinson May, and Mantle, Seaver too Respect their contributions And don't just say Ruth who? Respect where things have come from And the players of the past Because you learn and make things better It's what makes the **** game last Jimmy Foxx, Bob Gibson, Kaline Nestor Chylak and The Goose They made baseball special They gave the game a little juice Orr, Richard and Gretzky Gordie Howe and Howie Morenz You have to know about them You need the beginning to your ends Bob Baun and Bill Barilko Connie Smythe and yeah...the Chief You have to know their history They're what it is to be a Leaf The game has changed immensely Things can not go back in time But to me...the old alumni Made the game I know as mine Respect the ones before you The ones who laid the groundwork down The ones who made it special The non-pretenders to the crown Elvis, Buddy, Harrison Played the songs inside their heart Lennon, Wilson and the rest They all played a real big part Every single generation should learn from the one before For if they don't know where they've come from Then what has it all been for? Nicklaus, Palmer, Bobby Jones Sarazen and Hogan too They pushed the gameright to it's limits Now the pressure's upon you The new breed are the teachers now They're the ones to lead the way When twenty or so years from now You'll hear somebody say "Respect who came before you The ones who made us so **** proud LIke  Nash and , Perry and  Taylor Hall They played the game so loud Pudge, Jeter, and Verlander they brought it up a notch They were there to stretch the limits Not to just sit by and watch Rory, Justin Rose and Mahan Bubba, Dustin and the rest They are the players of the future They all respected the games best So, to know where you are going You must know where you have been Respect, past through the future And all that's happened in between.

There once was a man with a bowtie And a little redhead girl I'm gonna tell you the truth now She loved him and he loved her. They sat around the table With fish fingers and custard, ice cream They talked about his big blue box And her family In the middle of their midnight snack An alarm rang from TARDIS, blue He told her he would be back In just a minute, or two He accidentally missed his mark Twelve years had gone by But he just sauntered out Waving and saying "Amelia, hi!" Twas the first time they saved the world When Amelia was just nineteen Two years later he picked her up On the eve of her wedding But then the cracks in the universe And all of space and time Consumed the Doctor, all of him But that's not the ending rhyme The night she and Rory wed Amy jumped out of her chair "I remember you!" She shouted And the Doctor appeared there And so the Raggedy man came back No more in the crack in the wall Amy's imaginary friend Bowtie, suspenders, and all Later came an astronaut Her name was River Song She lifted her hand and against her will Killed the Doctor, gone. But, hooray! The Doctor wasn't dead It was wibbly wobbly, timey wimey Stuff messing with their heads And Amy had a daughter Name? Melody Pond. But the only water in the forest is rivers, So she was really River Song. Subtract love, Add hate Daleks scream Exterminate! Angels, Angels everywhere Take a little blink In the ground and in the air And then they took Rory "Come along Pond, please!" He said with a cry She turned to him and said "Raggedy man, goodbye!" "No!" He shouts in despair "It can't be true!" He stands over their grave Oh Ponds, he loved you He sits on the steps Letting River fly Too grief stricken to hurt Or even to cry Dreams are broken Time stands still The Doctor runs up A small rocky hill Afterword, it reads By Amelia Pond We love you Doctor And we're sorry we're gone There's a girl waiting in a garden She'll be waiting for a while So go to her She needs a smile. Tell her she's a fairytale Known by many, loved by more Not best in the universe, But most important in the world. She went with him and took his hand He showed her the stars and distant lands Together they ran, their spirits high Until they day came when they said goodbye Goodbye, Ponds.

Mr. Rory Richards Lived his life, Taking garbage Out at night. He shovelled drives He swept walks, He listened intently While others talked. Others talked. When Rory wasn't Weeding the garden, He was outside Hanging laundry. Moms were jealous, Dads were shamed, But whispering neighbours Never complained. Rory's good At the husband game. He presented well. The neighbours continued To tsk and tsk. On his way home From work, He picked up the kids From daycare, He'd find time To volunteer there. He'd have treats At home for them, And their friends. He volunteered with Cubs and Scouts, Always finding Extra time For jamborees And overnights. One day the cops Came on the scene, Rory wasn't What he seemed: His computer Showed a different man, A lurking, luring Child **** fan. And the neighbours' Tsks cresendoed. At his trial He sat abandoned, But neighbours there Gave witness to A man they thought They surely knew. A family man In his pew. All his life He lived beside them, A man they let Their kids rely on.

Rory Richards in His Pew
I was conceived on acid and whippets, the drugs a kaleidoscope of umbilical dreams. I was conceived on bad luck and lust, from darkness and sexually exploitive childhood trauma. I was conceived on teenage dreams and difficult childhoods, to black sheep children of 17. I was raised on addiction and narcissism, a love bomb here and authoritarian abuse there. I was raised on the chess long game, to lose a piece here means to win at the end. I was raised on 2000s tv, Lorelei Gilmore my wish for a mother, Rory my idol. I taught myself strength in building up a fantasy on the outside while my castle crumbled within. I picked myself up by the tendrils of a lost childhood, by the whispers of good memories, by the hiding places I found in pages upon pages of someone else’s imagination. And I let it all go at 28. To find peace. To start over. To build myself a new castle with no more haunted corners or echoes of pill bottles or smells of ***** and orange juice permeating the breaths of those who walk these sacred halls. Rib cage cut open, heart destroyed and renewed, ancient umbilical nooses cut with teeth. I will no longer fall victim to my mother’s circumstances or my father’s mistakes, I will never have the soul I’ve created look at me and ask himself if he is loved or safe. I am cycle breaker, I am generational karma’s worst ******* fear, I am no longer frightened maiden, I am fearsome mother. I am new.

Mothering
A bright blue police box spins through the sky Over 50 years have passed, so no one bothers to ask why. A Doctor in name, but no medicine dispensed His adventures defy all common sense. A Companion is always along for the ride When the TARDIS lifts off; it’s bigger inside. Our open-mouthed guide every step of the way Their first visit extends to a permanent stay The last of the Timelords or so people say From a long-distant planet they call Gallifrey Endlessly loyal with a mind second to none He has never resolved a dispute with a gun. He never seems to look the same for more than a few years A fact that has left some in fits of angry tears But everyone he’s truly known has felt a deep bond Just ask Rose, Martha, Donna, Clara, or Amy & Rory Pond Questioning the world and its traditions, his mind often lingers On the tasty goodness of custard and fish fingers. His personality leaves cause for some alienation But what else can one expect after regeneration? Friends often follow quickly in his tracks Like Danny Pink, Madame Vastra, Jenny, & Strax Otherworldly villains into our imaginations creep Psychotic snowmen, The Master, Daleks, Cybermen, and unrelenting Angels that Weep Dinosaurs in London, the Titanic in space Motorcycles driving up Big Ben fast enough to win a race Green forests of Sherwood; painting with Van Gogh He can take us anywhere we want to go And if when the journey stops your lips begin to quiver Just breathe deep and imagine the Song of a River Don’t go off the handle or fly into a rage Open up a favorite book and tear out the last page. That way, the stories won’t ever end and we can let them be Soon another generation will come along to see How a man whose true name remains unspoken Can face life’s harshest obstacles and still remain unbroken

I really should be studying, I know, but I can’t help logging in. I’ve done some work today already, though, would one episode be a sin? Just to check on the friends with the apartment and the purple door, or maybe the ones from the Scranton office who sell paper. I also want to know what Eleven is up to, and definitely Rory and Lorelai Gilmore. I’ll curl up with a blanket here and i’ll make some popcorn later. I think this was a good decision — it does say “Recommended For You.”

It’s December, it’s foggy and rainy, but that fits. Of course, a rainy Saturday means gathering in the common room with my roommates and watching either “The Hunger Games” or “Twilight.” Leong’s never seen Twilight, believe it or not, what are they DOing in China? We were explaining that It’s ok to talk through Twilight because it’s completely senseless. Yeah, good times. We got back from Thanksgiving break, and we had to hit it - grinding to squeeze half a semester into 18 days. It’s a cornucopia of pressure. Yes, we’ve hit the books, but we’re still us. Here’s a question: What’s the first season in December? “Spotify wrapped” season! EVERYONE has Spotify and once a year you get a summary of your listening habits. The reports came out this week and it’s all people are talking about. Comparing their lists, artists, tastes. Those lists say a lot about someone and it’s ok to not have taste, we should normalize it. My top artist was Taylor Swift (duh) my top song was Taylor Swift’s “Renegade,” Spotify says I listened to it 285 times but that’s biased because more than once, when writing a paper, I put that song on a loop for 6 hours. My second most listened to song was “Champagne Problems” By Taylor. That song is so Rory, Gilmore Girls coded - like Rory saying, “you're on your own.” My other top artists are TV Girl, the backseat lovers and hypo campus. Yeah, I roll big. Taylor’s also been in the conversation because Sophie has an ex-fem-friend (a freshman) who started seeing a 45-year-old guy. Let me ask you, what does a 45-year-old man have in common with an 18-year-old girl? We have Yale friends in their early 20s who consider themselves still teenagers and children and THEY are horrified. It’s naked fracking ********** (Sorry, that one foamed over.) The whole situation is ripped from Taylor’s 2010 masterpiece “Dear John,” which is about her dating John Mayer when she was 19 and he was 30-something. Her friends warned her, but she wouldn’t hear. Taylor Swift can be corny, and I love the corn, but she can be topical too and even though I was 7 when she released “Dear John” (2010), it’s a timeless lesson.

The whole situation is ripped from Taylor’s 2010 masterpiece “Dear John,” which is about her dating John Mayer when she was 19 and he was 30-something. Her friends warned her, but she wouldn’t hear. Taylor Swift can be corny, and I love the corn, but she can be topical too and even though I was 7 when she released “Dear John” (2010), it’s a timeless lesson.

New York City has just published the Doomsday Book. Highlights include: * They will ration life saving medicine. Sarah was right. They have convened the death panels. * They will enforce quarantines. They will separate the infected from the unaffected; hoping the infection of fascism spreads into the mind of the entire body politic. * They plan the destruction of domestic animals. Even little Joey's Teddy Bear will not be spared. As we speak, its furry head lays upon their guillotines of justice. * They will seize property. The thieves running the county are carefully planning a final plunder. * They will search our homes. They see us living in our glass cages. There is nothing left to monitor; but we will all be compelled to make daily entries into our Facebook accounts. John Q Public believes these measures are good. The terrorists frighten his banal imagination. His sound reasoning likes the idea of another brick for our prisons of fear, another bar to strengthen our cages of ********** Music Selection: Rory Gallagher, Walk on Hot Coals 2/16/11 Oakland jbm

Life with the Ponds There was a girl that I knew for years When young, she was strong And had little fears. When older, she engaged to a man with such glory. But she waited so long to tell me of Rory. Then we started, with time, to bring him along. And in less than a minute, her Rory was gone. He vanished from time and Amy forgot. While, as my curse, I sadly did not. But then with a bang, the boy did return, when he was desperately needed, when life wouldn't burn. A brave soldier he was with little to no fears. He sat there with Amy for 2,000 years. Then we saved the world. Reset, it would be, but, in return, it would lose me. On my way back through the turning of time, I took notice of this cursed life of mine. Soon through the flashback, which showed little glory, I stopped in my path to tell Amy a story. It brought me back into the world. In time for a wedding of a boy and a girl. I had a calling from the groom's bride. "Oh Doctor, my doctor, you cannot hide You're not imagined, you are so real. Come back through the crack so that it can heal." And soon I did as the wind blew I arrived in a tux, and brought something blue. After awhile, we set off again Me, happy as ever, with my two best friends. And, after that, It didn't take long til we went to war, til they had River Song. Her life was confusing, and converged into mine I didn't realize she was a lady of time. When young, she was stolen. Being trained, was she. All of that work just to **** me. She almost succeeded but it wasn't too late. She gave me her lives. She'd never regenerate. Later, we'd marry, when I was to die. That's what earth needed to move forward in time. But yet I survived in a robot of me "Oh, clever Doctor, how could this be?" I know it confuses, but one must not know. It could fill up your brain so much it might blow. Now, on with the story, it's soon to end. I do not like it, but it's hard to pretend. We found Dinosaurs, cowboys, we held the power of three, but then came the angels. They took them from me. My sweet little pond, and one of her boys. I was so broken. I lost all my poise. Before all of this, we ran, and we ran But now there's no running "Goodbye, Raggedy Man.

We meet in Spring, but began in the Fall. Looking out the window of your car I imagined running my fingers over cornfields like pages of a book. Watching the sunset in the rearview mirror as we moved forward together, needing two of my hands to touch just one of yours. Followed by 120 days of realizing we both love saltine crackers and both drool when we sleep really well. You loved listening to my heartbeat and telling me how it sounded and when I couldn’t sleep you’d pull my head to your chest and tell me to listen to yours. 120 days of you guessing my favorite flower, complementing my favorite cardigan, picking my favorite book off the shelf and reading to me, and attempting to tie my hair in a ponytail or a bun. And you touched like my skin was ice and your hands skates, but that turned into you grasping at me like the room is flames and my body oxygen On the 120th night you crawled into my bed, I could taste the alcohol on your mouth when you told me you loved me and I became addicted to the taste. After a week I was Rory and you Dean and with that began our 39-day happy hour. Until the 159th night when you took back that you loved me and I knew I never could again. My skin regressed back to ice and the next 45 days was our last call, numb to it all. On the 204th day you were Summer and I was Tom eating pancakes in a diner. All I did was stare at the buttons on your shirt and think about the time we saw the moon and you asked for me to write a poem but little did you know I have been this whole time: Iris Moon Marble Moon Missed Moon Monday Blues Button Moon Spring Cleaning. And never moonstruck. We lasted 12 more days and when we ended my first thought was that I can now: cut my hair count again and write again.

Why must we read 500 pages to get the moral Of the story. Keeping it abbreviated is Not the worry You write and write Until we are wick and rory But if it is over now or then it will still have it's same glory. Stop this addness or   we will never finish until we are forty! two seconds and done,   might seem a little whorey But do it again and we will just  skip to the end.

the Writer we read
They say good things come, to those of us that wait. Some pay no attention to it, Some others call it fate. But I guess there is some truth, to having a little patience. Cuz you showed up and easily surpassed all expectations. That made the wait so worth it, There's no way, nowhere no forces, That could separate me from a being that's so perfect. So if I had to, I'd wait again. Wait longer than Roman Rory, I'd wait as long as I needed, for the chance to start our story.

So I got this card in the mail you see “To: Virginia” Pretty as can be I opened the card with a half-assed smile only to see a number to dial I picked up my phone and with much despair dialed my girlfriend whose number was there “I think it’s you and definitely not me. I’m fairly sure we weren’t meant to be.” As I hung up the phone with a smile on my face I thought of some blackmail of her in lace My puppy dreaming by my side You won’t be ready for this ride It was a bad idea to break up with me And now in time you shall see I’m kind of a ***** when it comes to you I really don’t care what the hell I do As long as in the end I see you cry And I’ll tilt my hat With a satisfactory sigh I don’t hate today as you see I just toss some arsenic in their tea I’m glad you’re in love I mean, it’s really plain to see With your Facebook stati and obnoxious deeds Finally one girl got it right and bought me a puppy for all my lonely nights She knew that I didn’t need a card or flowers I just needed a friend who sat next to my shower Although this girl can’t compare her bright evening eyes and wind-blown hair She didn’t send me that horrid card she simply reminded me that life is hard She didn’t leave me to fend for myself she instead put my ego on a slightly higher shelf Although I loved that other card-sending ***** I’m fairly certain that you’re it My Valentine’s Day wish come alive in my room across the hall next to the food So to everyone else who is lonely on the day I say to you Don’t be swayed I found my girl in a different type wrapping You can always find yours But don’t ever be sappy This girl is at class taking tests, and passing life I’m sitting in my room as high as a kite Not high on **** or any other type drug As cheesy as this is I’m completely high on love

To you I say I'm sorry for the feelings i never knew, I couldn't say with certainty that what I wanted was you. But yet you still listened every time I spoke a word. It didn't matter what I said, to you it was always heard. When I was in your company I felt totally at ease. Nothing seemed in possible; in fact it seemed a breeze. As your arms wrapped around me, I felt your warm embrace. I knew you understood me, with you I felt so safe. You truly understood me and what I was going through. I didn't have to say the words, you just simply knew. So many times I looked at you and you brought tears to my eye. But yet I couldn't bring myself to let it go and cry. The roller-coaster I was on, you had been on it before. But i didn't want to know if it, I didn't want to hear any more. Yet every time I talked to you, I felt so open and free. I only wished I had seen then and now there could be a you & me. That weekend that we spent together, I didn't want to part. I knew the day I first met you that you had taken a piece of my heart. That eve we walked in the woods, the way you held my hand. The moment that you kissed my lips, I knew it would all be grand. As I returned to home, the sadness it began And so the tears they started, down my face they ran. For the first time I had been happy in the arms of a guy. But yet i felt so guilty, I could do nothing but cry. It’s only now that I realise my feelings they were true. In these past few weeks all my thoughts have been filled with you. There is nothing i can do now; you have found I'm sure a great lad. If he always makes you smile, well then I'm truly glad.

Eyes, little and innocent but see all that can be seen Ears so small, yet omnipotent in their own way Paws that will one day shake the ground as he greets me Tail that shows true emotion that can’t be faked Teeth that remind you that, “If you need me mom, I’ll defend you... but in the meantime I can has treat?" Fur that reminds me of my warmest and softest blanket Nose that knows no bounds as to where it will lead him Growl that will one day ward off monsters and all the ‘bad guys’ Bark that speaks to me clearer than most people I know Sleep well my little friend, and may your dreams be as innocent as you are

When you meet a person the first instinct is to know their name, A proper noun to represent them as a whole, A name can define you, And make you a person, not just a being. So when people ask my name, why is it that I am so pained to admit it? The name I was given at birth, my dear loving parent had picked out so carefully from all the rest, why must it hurt so much to admit? Why can't I appreciate my name? Why don't It feel like it is my name? My name is dysphoria, you answer to me, you're weak, I can tell, so cry on your knees "Such a pretty name" they say, "It suits you so well" they say, But it makes me sick to my stomach, I just want to hurl those letters into oblivion, A garbled mess from which I can reform who I am. Reform my name. And my father wonders why I wear thick jumpers in the summer, My mother looks concerned when she sees my lack of breath, From the construction of the 4 sports bras on my chest. And from her lips slips that horrid name. And it's like I can breathe even less. My name is dysphoria, you answer to me, you're weak, I can tell, so beg in your knees My aunt wonders why I cut my pretty hair, My grandad thinks it's weird that I won't wear a dress, I don't get why "God" is angry when clearly it's just them, I thought he taught us to love each other? Does this rule not apply to me? "A loving daughter" yeah right; Just you wait and see. My name is dysphoria, you answer to me, disgusting, revolting, now spout me your plea. My sister tries to be supportive but I can tell she doesn't get it, My mother doesn't mention it, My father hardly looks at me. But they don't understand the joy I felt, When I took that first injection. My hormones set on fire, My blood set a light, And for once in my life- My body started to feel right. My name is dysphoria, you should answer to me, disgusting, revolting, a girl in boys clothing. And yeah, my family might not use my new name, But it's on my driver's license, My passport, My soul, And finally I was excited to introduce myself to people. Finally I was happy to exist, I was happy to be me- A boy at last. With a real name: Rory.

I have a feeling of wonder, I want to go places, Places I haven't yet reached, A place that will feel me with joy. A place I have in mind, A place I've seen through sight, I watch it all the time, Through a window. Their cultural aspect, Peaks my interest, I want to know their stories, Their way of life. They indulge in everything, It's their unique way of their intriguing cuisine, That gives a taste of something exquisite, As exquisite as it is, I long to see, From Seoul tower, The city's beauty, To Jeju island, where breezes flow, It's charm and wonders, a peaceful glow. by: Jn & Rory
