Poetry

[Flip McWho]

Hell to make this thread last longer heres a poll for you people. Simple, straight forward question. Do you like/read poetry or not. Of course the banana option will be included this time.

This is a general thread on peotry. Never used to be my thing, but well I wrote a few pieces last year and am now trying to get back into it again.

So yeah, any of you people writers or anything? Feel like sharing pieces with us, even pieces that you didn't write but are special to you or your fav piece.

As I said just a general thread about poetry. Discuss in any way you see fit. As long as its related to poetry.

(wonder how quick before this dies)

I could post the ones I wrote or the ones I like, but they are in Chinese

[Flip McWho]

Hmmmm post them anyway. Some people would be able to read them. Not me unfortunately.

[Urban Ranger]

'k, maybe later this evening when I get home.

[Skanky Burns]

I write haiku. When drunk.

[Flip McWho]

Right. So hardly any of you folks enjoy reading or writing poetry?

Interesting.

Well. Cause noone else is and I'm feeling like sharing I'll share this little piece here, I don't know if it classes as poetry but close enough:

Hush now - As the drifting silence falls and decimates the green pastures of our world
Hush now - Gently the swish of the schythe is heard as the dark lord makes his way, ploughing the harvest that God has grown
Hush now - As death approaches, the schythe swinging closer, know in your heart I will protect you
Hush now - Gently death takes you and I stay behind failed in my task, looking behind, and seeing the truth at the end of the light.

So yeah.

Here's one about Che's cat.

My Commie Cat

My cat's a stinking communist,
A communist, I vow!
I asked her who her hero is,
and she responded, "Mao."

[DeathByTheSword]

Che's never had a communist cat. He did have a cat who was a slobbering anarchist, though.

And Che's 2 cats could never be communists. They're too whiny, demanding, begging for attention, and... nevermind.

Slowwy, that poem was so beautiful

[DeathByTheSword]

A little nose
A beautiful smile
A flowery scent
These are the things I look for in a girl
From the heavens send
Through the valley of pain
On a bed of roses
These are the things I look for in a girl
A troubled mind
A tired look
A twisted view
These are the sings I am in love

damn reading back on these I feel kinda cheesy

[Kirnwaffen]

Not a big poetry fan, probably because we read and analyze unto death in AP lit.

Of course, since I don't really enjoy much of it, I never have found any good, obscure poets, but I do like some of the more famous ones. Frost is good, and some of Dickinson's stuff too. There are others that I have enjoyed, but names escape me at the moment.
