When you write a poem of any substance can you use any thing for fodder, examples?

a tiny tale

a poem for your forensic appetite

the bloke walked slowly down the plank whilst I

stood in the sidelines idly hummed Sinatra tunes

when lost his footing and defied the gravity and fell

into the boiling swamp where fed, the cousins o the crocodiles

red ink blots rose and flew as tiny bits of rose tinged dew

the toothpick in my fingers picked nimbly at the lunch I'd ate

not even half an hour before I took Fio too that place

where my alligators had a taste for Freek cuisine...

They traced the Fio DNA back to town where he had slept

while the people loudly wept over letters he had left

posted to the local feds, while above their many heads

across the sky I flew away to live and play another day

but today in yonder swamps no one even heard his cries

as the hungry monsters fed on Fio's crusty DNA

ode to Fio the Freek

Update:

The Greek is doing exactly what he accuses me of doing starring things then getting my answers deleted, he already had an account suspended and will likely have mine gone by morning, I do not give a hairy ats rass.

Update 2:

I write nothing like the Greek, Peter

    Sounds like something Taylor Swift would do if she wrote poetry instead of songs.

    When the day is too bright

    and the sun isn't right

    and the world that's in sight

    has the wrong kind of light

    When the night feels all wrong

    and the minutes are long

    the stars have all gone

    and you don't belong

    See the spaces between

    their words and it seems

    too big to be a dream

    but you don't know what it means

    The flames flicker higher

    as you fan the fire

    with your deepest desire

    you are what you inspire

    You know you never realize

    when you've gone insane

    The world becomes another

    game inside your brain

    Reality dares

    to strip your fears bare

    so unwilling to share

    the things that are not there

    You get lost in a maze

    where imagination plays

    passing through the days

    it always gets its way

    In the heat of your mind

    it's unexpected when you find

    you're not so out of line

    but time has fallen far behind

    Space has no meaning

    you don't know if you're dreaming

    when your demons have you screaming

    you'd better start believing

    You know you never realize

    when genius lies within

    It's just one step away

    from where insanity begins

    Time comes and you realize

    it's never what it seemed

    When your eyes are finally open

    you miss what's never been

    See? So much fodder you don't have to stoop.

    Given that everything inspires me, though often when I pen a piece, "substance" is judged, and then after the fact I wonder, was it all just fodder? Well expressed piece this was/is.

    Should I have written about dirty socks

    smelling like 3 day old fish

    or start up wishes for broken clocks,

    or my grannies intimates drying on the line

    hug in some summer breeze tease,

    or should I act more refined?

    i imagine that is magnificent in case you toddlers do your own college paintings, yet because you requested so ideal i will make an exception: I knew a guy who burnt some stuff even as each and each and every of the international slept he walked by city invisibly his shaggy soul unkept he handed the thanks to heaven church untied some thou shalt nots and positioned no love therein the words in tittle nor in jot he discovered a wooded park the position colorations of the blind provided no longer something for the taking if no longer something he might want to discover he grew to develop into his empty wallet out searching in abundance what human admonitions lack love the sacred substance he crammed the air with all his soul then laid his self to sleep and dreamt a backyard paradise the position as you sow you acquire he woke to plant life fragrant honest to birds upon the wing to nights to come back to grants of alternative stuff and issues.

    I love the odious content of your ode...

    x

    edit:-

    Your ode reminded me of this famous poem.

    "Fee-fi-fo-fum" is the first line of a historical quatrain,

    famous for its use in the classic English fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk.

    The poem, as given in Joseph Jacobs's rendition, is as follows:

    Fee-fi-fo-fum,

    I smell the blood of a Englishman,

    Be he live, or be he dead

    I'll grind his bones to make my bread.

    Though the rhyme is tetrametric, it follows no consistent metrical foot;

    however, the respective verses correspond roughly to monosyllabic tetrameter,

    dactylic tetrameter, trochaic tetrameter, and iambic tetrameter.

    The poem has historically made use of assonant half rhyme.

    @ You can change "Englishman" into something which will compliment your ode.

    Ruffian's are on the loose!

    Man I love when I see an unfamiliar name with that blue figure that means they are a contact and their style of writing is so SIGNATURE that I don't need to wonder who they are. Like this poem, it is fierce and dauntless.

    You tell a good tale. Pirates with a mix of Frank. I liked the melody.

    You write just like the Greek. He's no good either.

    It makes me wonder how many stories are based on true events but don't say they are.
