My turn for poetry!

Hell is my favorite pastime

By: Jimmy Sutton

Most people wonder what 

I like to do. I tell them "fret not, 

you will see soon" Everyday, on the

battlefield, I see the enemy, before the same 

man wipes them out in an instant. A swipe of his

blade, and the blood spills like thick batter pouring out of

the bowl. My name is irrelevant, and so is this murderous soldier's name. But, all I know is, 

Hell is his favorite pastime.

 

This is poetry.

Invisible

How does it feel to be
invisible, like you're unwanted and 
a piece of garbage?
Does it feel heartbreaking?
People say kids can be cruel,
no,
they can be murderous,
but when they shut you out like
a disobedient dog,
you never forget.
We all walk the tightrope of sanity; yeah, some of us fall
but we keep going 'cause we know
those people watching from the sidelines-
they never forget-
and they whisper "you can make it"
And you don't feel invisible anymore. So you wave goodbye to them and fall off
the tightrope because you know you'd end up there
anyway.

 

 

I might plagiarize a bit with my poem

Crabs

Adam

Had 'em

What the fuck Steve? XD

That's not the greatest poem ever? I think it is.

It's very comical.

Ode to a Goldfish

Oh Wet Pet.

by Gyles Brandreth

And I was told The Rime of the Ancient Mariner was the only legitimate poem in the English language

Nah, it's not even a poem then.

It's just a single paragraph which rhymes, at least according to some definitions. Right @jimmysutton ?

But seriously, that's a messed up definition, if it's that strict. Maybe by classical rules, or if it was critical to the stability of reality for it to fit such a pattern, but it's words, on paper, and possibly even said. Not exactly greatly in need of a stricter definition other then, conveys something not just information or fact based, and the author reckons it's a poem. Bam, done.

Are we writing bad poetry here? Is it okay to share good poetry written by people who don't suck?

Meh, I actually like these kinds of threads. Gives me an excuse to write some stuff while I actually don't have time to write my stories. For example, I just spent a few minutes writing this, while I actually should be writing my thesis: 

A mask of confidence, cloth of self-worth,
So thinly stretched across a hollow frame.
While false sense of supremacy gives birth
To scorn, contempt, an all-consuming flame.

Within the darkness, a frail voice echoes
Rising slowly, to fill an endless void.
So wait, ignore it, until it bellows,
Fanning the flames that all others avoid. 

"Tear it down, tear down, as much as you can,
Burn the statues and laugh at the ashes.
So don't give support, cause that's not the plan.
And feel the best, when all the rest crashes."

For when all are brought low, passions died down,
At last you can wear this void as your crown.

Ignore this post.

This was a mistake
Didn't mean to interrupt
Ignore this post, please

 

Is that suppose to be a poem?

No, a mod is on my account.

That doesn't mean it's

not supposed to be a poem

"haiku" are easy

Willing to bet this is Kiel.

Lol. I've written a lot of poetry, including a few Haikus, but nah. Not me this time.

The song of the dwarf elves from Cliche Adventures ^_^


A song and storm of ice and fire, while we strum on our lyre.

Hit the bong and throw ‘em in the fryer, while we drum by the funeral pyre.

Dum dee dee dum dum dum dum ho, dum dee dee dum dum dum dum wo,

Magic in the morning.


Watch them suffer hear them scream, while we make love by the bubbling stream.

Botch the murder we die as a team, while we fuck in a collective dream.

Dum dee dee dum dum dum dum ho, dum dee dee dum dum dum dum wo,

Magic in the morning.


Drink blood red wine at a wedding on the river, hope we get to dine on someone’s liver.

The bread is fine honey don’t you shiver, hope we bet on the cruelest sinner

Dum dee dee dum dum dum dum ho, dum dee dee dum dum dum dum wo,

Magic in the morning.


If you suckle too long on Organa’s teat, we hope you find an extra treat.

We may chuckle ‘cause she’s packing heat, pray we don’t die for this beat.

Dum dee dee dum dum dum dum ho, dum dee dee dum dum dum dum wo,

Magic in the morning.

This was a thread that was moved from another thread. I did not make this thread.

I did.  ^_^  You derailed the actual topic.

I love it how on cys, if you didn't know better, everyone seems to be talking to themselves from time to time.

Hey, I'm clearly italicizing commentary XD 

But everyone on the site is the same person
