n. A movement dedicated to spreading random acts of beauty, poetry, wonder, magic and thought-provocation. The concept was originated by the writer Hakim Bey and has appeared in movies such as the cult French film Amelie.
Poetic terrorism differs from the concept of "random acts of kindness" in that its acts are not always kind, but its ultimate goal is not malice, but broadening of the mind. Poetic terrorist acts may, of course, be kind - they may also be weird, funky, shocking, provocative, counter-cultural, anachronistic, subtle, subversive, mischievous, dark, creative and fey.
Examples of poetic terrorism would be:
* Decorating the walls of a public lavatory with Shakespearean sonnets in purple glittery marker pen
* Erecting a 50' inflatable sculpture in a public place, then removing it without trace once day is done
* Sprinkling flower petals from a window onto passers-by
* Frolicking in the park wearing an outlandish costume and jingling bells
* Whispering to random people that dragons exist, then continuing on your way
* Chalking countercultural slogans on sidewalks
* Taking bizarre and creative photos in photo booths, then leaving the photos for others to find
* Anything else you can think of!

If the world was filled with poetic terrorism instead of real terrorism, it would be a much better place.

Get the Terry Davis mug.A guy who has been hurt a lot and has trust issues. He is very handsome with a natural athletic build. He takes his fitness very seriously. He can be a really big asshole just because he is bored. If you want to be with him then you really have to show him that he can trust you fully. He is self-destructive because he doesn't know how to control his anger sometimes. He will try to push you away because he doesn't think that he deserves a good person in his life. He has convinced himself that everything bad that has happened to the people he cares about is his fault. A Terrious has a very big heart and loves with his whole body. You are very lucky if he cares about or loves you. He is very intuitive and knows everything that is going on around him even if he doesn't say anything. He loves to please in the bedroom and has great stamina. He knows how to be compassionate and affectionate when the time comes. Even when you are in a bad mood he will put a smile on your face. Every bad thing you may go through in the relationship will be worth it. He is a true blessing to have in your life. Patience is the biggest thing you have to have when dealing with a Terrious. He is really a good guy and deserves to be loved fully. He doesn't hesitate to spoil his woman if he has it. It is impossible to not fall in love with him. He deserves to be spoiled rotten in every way. Make him your Greek God.
Friend#1 I have been dating Terrious for a couple of weeks now and I'm falling in love with him.
Friend#2 Yeah, Terrious is a really good guy.
Friend#2 Yeah, Terrious is a really good guy.
