I've been trying to find a new way to express myself that's not drawing or painting. I decided to get back into poetry. I stopped writing it for a while because I felt like I had no poetic talent. Well, anyways, I wrote this one poem in my head during P.E. today in 10 mintues. I then wrote the second half when I got home in about twenty minutes. I just basically came up with as many rhymes as I could with no intentions of giving the poem a point. Though, it seems as if I've given it a symbolic plot accidentally. sweatdrop

Here it is:
My concience can't choose
It's Advice is refused
I don't need it's twisted input
The Man you once knew
Would march in his shoes
But now he dances barefoot


My mind was my friend
'Til I lost him again
Like the tune of a broken record
What, where, when
Said the letter I penned
To the god who's heart is checkered


What do you think of it? Should I write more poetry? Also, I'd like to see poetry written by members of this guild. (If they write it)

-giggle- You think you have no poetic talent? Well then, I must be in the negatives, dear. xD
I like writing poems even if they're no good.
Yours made me giggle. Haha.
I can vaguely grasp the meaning of it, but not too sure.
Pretty abstract.

Funny you should ask.
I forgot about poetry writing until last night.
When my english assignment required me to write a short one.
When I write poems, I take ages. D:
And I always have to make them rhyme.
Here's the one I wrote last night:

What is the warmth encompassing me?
The joy expressed from the one I see?
A comforting embrace,
A familiar face.
Explain to me, my quickened pulse
Why to me, you rise above all else.
I yearn for you,
I treasure you.
Sweetening my ears with your alluring voice,
Exciting my senses with your touch and poise.
My satisfaction,
Your perfection.
Could this be...love?

I don't write poetry myself because I can't. I did however like ya'lls though. I occasionally write little beat poetry chunks, but I can't post any here. They're chock full of cursing. sweatdrop Maybe I'll try to write a poem.

Here's a short one I wrote during English that sort of creeped out my teacher:

Laughter brings warmth
of an artificial sun
Pain's an aging man
with his head to a gun

Jealousy's the heir
to paranoia's reign
The suicidal old man's
head is under a train

I do my best work in Geometry and Spanish. lol.

A Future Held Hostage

The battle cries ring
Another is dead
This war of hatred
Reigns over my head

The mother weeps
Her child taken
The gangs march on
Their families forsaken

Hope is lost
Their hearts can't mend
A future held hostage
Only to have a bloody end.  

Hazza loser

I wish i were a poet.
PostPosted: Wed Jun 20, 2007 2:12 pm


<3 I really love it. I read it again, and I think you have major talent.
Here is one of mine;
I wish I were you
Because I wouldn’t be missing a key element
Self esteem.
And that I didn’t have to fail again
Just being myself should be enough
And it is.
For everyone.
Except.
For me.
But I have to be the headline of my own story;
Don’t I?
And I fall through your lines of self esteem
I wouldn’t be falling if your lines weren’t so goddamned high
The only thing higher is my lack of it.
It taunts me to no extreme.
My self esteem.

I'm not very good at poetry writing.
But, I do very much like your poem!
The checkered part sort of confused me, but then again made me giggle.
=] Definate- Keep writing. You rock clean socks.

Walter dug his mind a hole
Buried deep in sterile soil
Never thinks before he prays
Live his life in pitied ways

"Walter, dear, why can't you see
Beyond your dull theology?"


Ignorance, it comes in mounds
Kings of kings don't wear their crowns
Intellect, it drives him mad
He sinks in thoughts he never had

"Walter, dear, don't ever please
Live your life on bended knees!"
