I write, but I don't post stuff online. I'm too afraid of having my work stolen. 3nodding I go through phases with poetry. Before college, I wrote lots of stuff that was visual and vague but interesting. Then I started writing more simply and honestly, trying to write more powerful things by keeping the message more direct. The one bit of advice I could give to any writer is to keep your stuff original. If you read it to yourself and it sounds like songs or poems you heard before, it's not original. The real trick is how to take a theme and make it your own. So much has already been done, but if you find your own unique way of making a statement, then you can write something to be proud of.

*ahem*
I think that a lot of youth go through a poetry/lyrics phase... and I would argue they have a right to do so. it does sound kind of sappy, but you don't know her that well so let's assume she can be a decent person and write poetry at the same time, regardless as to whether it's 'emo' or not.

I donno, it sounds like she hs a crush but is to much of a p***y to go out and do anything about it.
Now if she made the poem of that but from someone elses POV, then it could be intresting. But other than that this type of poem is overdone. Everyone does it.

How Am I being gender specific? I said she because the avi is a chick, and both men and womn can be pussys. So she sounds like she's being a p***y.
If a guy wrote it I would say the same.

If a guy wrote it I would say the same. Gender-specific terms, GRM. ('She' is more of a pronoun, I should think.) The term itself is based off the ideology that weakness or cowardice is a specifically female trait. That in itself shouldn't require explaining.
Who the term is directed at doesn't change that it's offensive.

God-Raped-Me Damn, K0mod0, you know I didn't mean it like that! There's really no way to tell! gonk . I simply think of it as a very sexist term!
But I suppose that's enough spamming Miss red's poor thread with my flailing.

Yeppers, I write poetry and have for about 13 years now. I started back in '98 when I was first diagnosed with cancer, so most of the older poems are dark...but I like the sunny ones the best.
I've had 3 poems published in a coffee table poetry book (very proud of that) but haven't written anything new in ages..literally. Maybe I should start putting everything into words again...always made me feel better to write. smile
Keep up your writings...who knows, it just may take you somewhere in the future!! I wish you the best with your writings and will check back here agin to see how you're doing. smile

In fact everyone gets cancer.

Oh, another bright ray of sunshine! *rolls eyes at GTR*
She wasn't looking for special treatment...I suspect that was what inspired her to write her poetry in the first place. It is a good way to cope with bad things (and good things). Poets seem to need an assignment or inspiration to start writing anything that will have value to themselves.
For me, my first serious poetry (i.e. not course work) was sex. My boyfriend really liked them when I shared them with him a few years later. Considering they were, in a roundabout way, also about him, that was a good thing!
I also wrote a really interesting one written about telephone poles and relating the need for human contact/conversation as a junkie's need for a drug fix (I'm not emo, it was a college assignment). Both it and one of my sexual poems got published in a coffee table book. I've also published a bunch of my poems in my college's literary magazine as well, but that's not a brag worthy as they aren't a real book.
Poetry is a great outlet for creativity!
