Poetry
By: Neamhain Blackmailer Date: January 15, 2016, 2:14 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
We all know what poetry is. It is an art form that allows you to
express yourself in an implicit way. You can write a poem that
seems to be about an acorn but is really talking about a natural
connection to Earth. Or, you can just rhyme and tell a goofy
story.
Poetry is musical, and like music, there will be some poems that
speak to you, others that confuse you, some that are
meaningless, and even more that seem to be filled with dogmatic,
arrogant views or stupidity. But like all art, you can make it
what you want to out of it, and every piece will have its lovers
and haters.
Use this thread to share poems you really admire or original
works. Please do not post epics. This thread is for shorter
poems.
Do not steal poems from others. Do not worry about whether or
not it is good. And don't spam this thread with random rhymes.
If you want that, make a rhyming thread in the Entertainment &
Off-Topic or Forum Games section.
I might host poetry competitions on here from time to time.
Suggestion: While this is not at all a requirement, you might
want to post what kind of poem it is that you are posting.

A cruddy diamante poem to start things off:
[center]Coyotes
Wily, Scrawny
Trotting, Hunting, Howling
Teeth, Claws, Blood, Avarice
Lying, Killing, Manipulating
Deceitful, Selfish
Humans[/center]

"What is a countless?" asked Neamhain, the ignoramus.

I like those simple poems sometimes. They'd be good for cheesy
slogans or mottos.
Here's one that little-girl-Neamhain wrote eons ago. It's quite
deplorable as far as poetry goes, but it's interesting to think
back on where your thoughts were.

Here are two haikus I created during a car ride.
[center]Leaves bending, swaying
Tranquility and silence
A tree in the wind
Waves rolling at sea
Foam crashing against the sand
A beach at high tide[/center]

I like how you took two things that, in real life, may easily be
viewed as either peaceful or chaotic, and you made one peaceful
with your diction and the other chaotic.

I didn't realize that I had made one chaotic. I was just
thinking of what to write my next haiku on and I saw the waves
at sea (we were driving on mountains on an island) so I decided
to write about that. Interestingly enough, the first poem came
about when I decided to prove to my siblings that I could make
up a poem on the spot. I didn't know that the poem I was
creating was a haiku, nor at the start that a haiku has a 5,7,5
syllable count. Then, after I had made it, I decided to see if I
had followed the syllable rule, and I found that the first two
were spot on, but that the last was a syllable off, so I had to
change it. :P

I posted this one on a GGE thread a while back. I know it's far
from good, but so were the other entries. I managed to win an
unofficial contest with this.
[font=georgia]The Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, and Spy.
Gosh, I really hope they all die.
Not just a simple demise, oh Heavens no!
But a painful, death--one that is slow.
One that would make them feel suicidal,
Make them wish they were no longer vital.
Yea! It must be this way, indeed,
For they have committed many a foul deeds.
They shall suffer and writhe in great pain,
To absolutely no one's disdain!
Yea, this is my very dream, one soon to be a reality.
It shall be carried out with great amounts of brutality.
The Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, and Spy.
I can assure you; they will all soon die.[/font]
I think you guys might start to notice a pattern or theme with
my poetry...

You mean death and torture? Yeah, I've noticed that . . .
I quite like the poem, though I've always had it as a pet peeve
of mine when the syllables don't match up. I like to read a poem
with the rhythm, but I can never quite seem to find it if the
syllables are different. I also don't like some supposedly
'great' poetry for that same reason, so don't take that
personally.
Here's a limerick I created. It was for someone who had decided
to start recording different things I said and did on his phone.
The inside idea was that I didn't like what he was doing, so a
lot of what I said followed those lines, but I was actually
completely fine with everything. Apparently I did too well of a
job, because people would come up to me and ask me if I was
actually angry at the person with the phone. Anyway, here's the
limerick:
[center]There once was a kid with a phone
Who would never leave poor Dwight alone
Then one fateful day
Dwight took it away!
And decided it would now be his own![/center]
