I'm no poet, but I'll give it a shot... but I'll post it here, if you don't mind... I'd feel like only half of it would be mine (since it's already half written here)... so it wouldn't be fair to post it on my page... I think...

I'm still in a fist-fight against the previous challenge... I guess I'm gonna pass on the song... It's hard enough to reorganize my whole thought process to write in english without hitting my head against the music as well, hehe... But I'd love to read everyone else's leave me a message when you publish (nothing better than a nice laugh every now and then) :-)

Ok... it's not exactly "poetic"... It's a translation of something I originally wrote in spanish. But I think it's an easy task: Just like the one Shadow Rai made, use your cell phones, Loneliness 5663546377 69 5433 47 26 6736 96863 8428 76877 8626793733 33354647: 4 3335 76 566359 8428 6659 46 69 696 2667264667447 4 7325493 469 38379663 3573 32337 2929. 7246 272957 688 3766 69 4887 263 39487 9484 26 397567466 8428 782467 843 7453623 9484 2 337737283 727326.

Ok, I would love to say that I solved the whole d*mn thing but, I did'nt.......Here's what I got.... Loneliness My life is an open wound that pours unanswered feelings I feel so lonely that only in my own _____________ I realize how everyone fades away Pain crawls out from my guts and exits with an explosion that stain the silence with a scream. Help meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Wow, you're fast. I'm publishing it right now. you just need "companionship" there in the line... everything else is an A+ I'm starting to think that that word might not even be the best for tha sentence... that's what happens with "flash translations" maybe if I change it to "company"? You see why I shouldn't play this game as a host? ...and... maybe it should've been "stains the silence", not "stain..."

Alright, ahshadowrai, here's the attempt -- I did an easier song, Seal's "Kiss From a Rose", retitled, "Punch in the Nose". There stood in front of me a hugely muscled man staring at me, You beat me silly, letting me lay on the ground and bleed, Pain remained a drug that let me know I'm alive But did you know, that when it slows, My eyes become wide and that punch that you threw can be seen Bul-ly, I compare you to getting hit by a train, The more of you I get, Stronger it hurts, yow, And now that my nose is in pain, Your fist hits my nose like a train. There is so much a man can beat you, So much he can play, You remain, In power, having pleasure, my pain, bully To me you're like a growing affliction I can't deny. Wouldn't you say that's unhealthy, bully? But did you know, that when it slows, My eyes become wide and that punch that you threw can be seen Bul-ly, I compare you to getting hit by a train, The more of you I get, Stronger it hurts, yow, And now that my nose is in pain, Your fist hits my nose like a train. I've been punched in the nose by a train, I've been punched in the nose I've been punched in the nose by a train, And if I should fall on the ground and pray, I've been hit in the nose by a train ...been hit in the nose by a train {Repeat chorus to end of song]
