nice coolio! i can tell you’re a big fan. are you following the who killed amanda palmer mystery stuff? it’s too much for my wee brain, but i enjoy analyzing the wkap video series (see her youtube channel) with jim and i found the wiki with all the clues solved so far revealed. it’s quite complex. you can find it through the shadowbox forum. i’ve even emailed ‘the stranger’ to try to follow along as the plot thickens and help plant clues if i’m called upon.

Amanda Palmer
From awesome street performer
To dead sensation.

Over your grave,
Does Brian sob, wishing the
Cabaret lived on?

We can’t get you up,
We can’t get you up at all,
We can’t get you up,

Our Strength Through Music
has gone, your music is gone,
Trapped in Ampersand,

You are no longer
our Astronaut, for Blake Says
That death has claimed you.

Amanda Palmer
songs bright and full and lovely
dark misery too

singing with our friends
can bring beautiful fun
hangover’s a bitch

done but, you know it’s really alright to have more or less. i need to make a page about haiku here on the site somewhere. american haiku has approximately 17 syllables. i’m reading a book by the guy that kinda started american haiku and he doesn’t always do 5, 7, 5. it’s more like a guide. go with the way it sounds, should have a nice flow and try to get around 17 syllables. anyway, i edited to read how you wanted.

here’s some virtual pie and strong coffee – solve away and report back to us. in haiku of course.

D’Oh!?!?!

Calan, please remove the last word from the last line!
Either that, or replace the last line with this line:

“& I’ll solve this crime.”

Either way, I just mis-counted the syllables, sorry.

“Feed me cherry pies,
ply me with strong black coffee,
& I’ll solve this crime.”

matthew – that second haiku would be the best epitaph. i love funny tombstone messages.

ford – wow. that’s really beautiful. thank you so much.

everyone – amanda is aware now of the poetry in her memory here. it made her spirit smile. i told her in a seance last night so keep em coming!

p.s. she gives the most amazing hugs…there is a sincerity in her hug if you know what i mean and she is an incredibly warm and beautiful being.

i love Astronaut so much.
it makes me cry sometimes.
that and not being able to see amanda.
tear.
anyways, have the best time calan, for all of us =]

~
why must the best
die when theyre young
like all of the rest
they lose their last song.
the piano was her bed,
now its her tomb
harmonics to heaven
not enough room.
and while she’s down there
the spirits will croon
“she’s not gone forever”
just scathed by the moon
eternity can end
even death was once born
amanda palmer
shall not soon return.
and far from now when she does
even i’ll say
simply to her
“you simply must play!”

Nice, that is quite a stroke of luck. Or should i say appreciation of genius. Hope you have a blast.

That video was awesome. That is so how i would want any funeral of mine to go. But then again i told my family to do whatever they wanted with the body and just make sure they had a good time at the wake. That was an order.

Who killed Amanda?
Oh come now, everyone knows
the butler did it.

Here lies Amanda
God wanted an autograph
He’s so impatient
