Default wats your interpretation?

Dream Room

I live in different days
I look at you and see no truth
My life circulates in my room
My room, dim, cold, but never silent

Dreams dreamt in my room,
Some more conscious then others
Dreams plastered on flat screens,
Where the monsters ever lurk

I dream about Mars and Neptune skies
And the monsters that sleep their shadow lives
They will not escape my vengeful wrath
Bullets, knives, rip the spine

And when I am done, the monsters are gone
Mess upon my plastered screens
And I sleep and dream and understand
Nothing that exists beyond my doors

Blood, what is blood?
I see red no more, no pain
Out my doors, into a world
With monsters of its own

I am here! Neptune, Mars
Monsters smile at me, grin their death
They laugh, they laugh, chuckle
Monsters that sleep the sleep of evil

Extermination is my pity
Blood, I see not blood.
She who laughed, he who giggled
I see not life, monsters of Neptune and Mars

*correcting bad paste

Again, I hate poetry with a passion. If you can explain your feelings in verse (especially without using rhymes, for the love of God) you can explain them in normal writing. With the same effect. And it, get this, makes sense!

If you ask me, that's just about you saying you're a hallucinating crazy man. Or your emotions run as wild as a broken faucet. The verse was confusing, the lack of sensible language bored me, and the topic was so subtle that no one can make sense of it. Why bother?

Then again, I hate poetry. Give that F a 30 point grading curve and you'll probably get what you need to pass...but then again, I may be right. Probably not.

I hate poetry. Especially trying to deduce the meaning.

eh, i wrote this for a class project. actually this is not to be graded, but used as a source of evidence. see a part of the project was to find a poem that reflected a viewpoint of the controversy which our projects were on. my group couldnt find one so i made this.

the controversy were studying is violence caused by video games, mind you. and i was forced to write about how they did cause people to become more violent, although imo thats bullshit.

exerpt from an article by thomas McLaughlin on figurative language:

"...one consequence of our analysis is that the opposition between 'proper' and 'figurative' has come into question. Figures seem to be infiltrating our defense of rightful meaning. If the 'proper' meaning is itself a trope on an ealier meaning, then the poetic figure of speech is only a spectacular example of somthing all language does. Figures ask the reader to think in terms of a complex system of categories and analogies in order to make sense of them; but so does any usage of language. How does any word make sense? It makes sense by being a part of a system of meanings, a set of contrasts and comparisons. No word has meaning in isolation but only insofar as it relates to and differs from other words in the language system. 'Bless' is not 'curse', but both are part of a system of words that refers to the act of calling on god. Each of these words makes sense because it is the opposite of the other and because both participate in a category of meaning....some figures of speech, particularly those in poetry, call attention to themselves and ask us to think very carefully about how they mean and what they mean. Saying that an echo is a valley's joyful response to a lamb's voice risks making no sense unless the reader enters into a productive effort, thinking 'echo can be a 'rejoicing' cry only if nature has a spirit capable of joy..."

If you knew anything about poetry, you would (most importantly) know that poetry not using rhymes, is exactly like saying it normally. You cannot get more normal than that. If you want it put in simplest terms, then it wouldn't be as thought provoking. That is what poetry is, thought provoking. Emotions put into words in an abstract way, thus making it an artform. You really should broaden your horizons and start reading more (good) poetry.

Free verse poetry needs some sort of pattern, even though it is the least restricted of all forms of poetry it still needs a pattern (eg, each stanza has 7 syllables.)

Then maybe you should have spelled it right yourself.

Thanks for pointing out the ironic statement, Moogy.

What's wrong with modern art? Unless you're talking about that weird surrealist type thing where the people draw some polygonal shapes on a piece of paper and call it art.

That and the way Jewpin classifies it.

"If it takes a paragraph or two to explain it, it's not art".

That's that.

sigh, next time i attempt to make a point by using a figurative system of irony, i will point it out to you by using bold and underline, suhkweak.

i suppose the difference between poetry and "essaying" is that poetry is much, much more dense. because poetry lacks the usual diluting words found in sentences, the impact of the poem is supposed to be many times greater. also, the broadness of poems can be interperted many different ways, which is appealing, as most people enjoy having variety and choice in their life. the only wrong answer you could give to an interpretation is that its BAD because it makes no sense to you or because it doesnt hand you the meaning in a baby's bottle for you to suck on and cry. <-----figurative language
