All poetry here :)
So, I was hoping to start an official poetry thread where ffr members can come together and post some of their own work or poems that they really enjoy. Also, to post any thoughts, analysis, and relations to the poem. That being said I hope there are a lot of poetry fans out there.

Re: All poetry here :)
Well, guess ill be the one to go first.
Nature's first green is gold Her hardest hue to hold Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. -Robert Frost This is one of my favorites.

Re: All poetry here :)
Cool. I guess i'll post second. This is an original poem I wrote while thinking about a bunch of proverbs.
An eye for an eye and we'd all be blind to the beauty placed here for us to behold; By a single word from a wise old man. He sees sitting down, what we fail to from the mountain, that all that glitters is not gold. For though two wrongs don't make a right, they inevitably spawn revenge. -Midnighter I'm not really sure what i was trying to say, so tell me what it says to you. |

Re: All poetry here :)
This is the most annoying artistic stance I know of. Why would you bother creating something with no purpose?

Blind World (villanelle style poem)
Something I had always thought; Why are people blind to see? All alone had battles fought. Dimmest light from the sun sought, for just another fool's fee. Something I had always thought. Only ill fate themselves brought, surely they would all agree. All alone had battles fought. Another dawn brings the drought. Who can still water the tree? Something I had always thought. Again some extra time bought, the weakest wanting to flee. All alone had battles fought. Only bravest people ought to open their eyes all free. Something I had always thought, All alone had battles fought. --- Should be 7 syllables per sentence (I'm finnish so I might be bad at counting them however). I know drought isn't rhyming with the rest when pronounced but I was getting out of options and wanted to put in such sentence. Meaning is pretty obvious, how majority of people let our beautiful world go to the crapper and only a few (in comparison) will stand up for it. Last edited by sp1nzoK; 06-18-2009 at 09:24 PM.. |

Re: All poetry here :)
The purpose was to write. I try to write daily so i can improve my writing skills. Sometimes i don't feel like writing, but i do anyway so i put something down for the day. It doesn't have to tell me something. Half the time writers write for their audience instead of themselves. Think before you make Insulting comments like that. Critisizm is fine, but there's no reason for insults.

Re: All poetry here :)
Im guessing it means conflict gets you nowhere. Try a peaceful solution instead. Hmm... Classic moral in an interesting way of putting it too.
