I have recently developed a thing for poetry, and don't quite no why. I am hardly the most romantic of people, but nevertheless am now intrested in it. Perhaps I'm just lonely. Anyway, so that this has a topic instead of just me go on about how I feel sad (it's what I normally do when I talk about myself) I'd like to see what NSG can produce in terms of poets. Feel free to contirbute anything you've written, as long as it's not of a disturbing and overtly sexual nature. I'd quite like thios thread to survive. I'll start with a few of my attempts -



You
When I sleep you haunt my dreams
And when I wake I see you in the crowds
Everyday I think of you
Yet know you will never be mine


Love/Hate
I hate everything about you
Your smile, your laugh
I hate that you are happy
While I am sad
And yet I cannot help
But still love you


Seasons
In summers dawning bloom
I rode with you among the groves
Through sweet lavender
And rose red, white and blue

And as autumn came we rode on together
Through the darkening days
As around us all things once beautiful
Rotted and decayed

With winters deadly frost
All things finally died
Whether beautiful or cursed
And once again your smile preserves my frozen heart

But as spring comes we ride again
And your face lights up with joy
And once again, year on year
You keep me alive

By the way, tell Lapse to eradicate all my poems from the SSA. I don´t want them and they´re taking up space.

Umm, I kind of write some amateur poetry- but I'm too shy to let show it to the real world. Fortunately enough a) this isn't the real world b) you guys don't know who I am c) I don't know you guys and d) no one can see me blush and grin nervously.
I'm normally a cheerful person, but some of the stuff I come out with is rather morbid for some reason. Don't be afraid to say that its poorly written, bombastic and pompous
Here's the first one:

Life
Trapped in this rotting sack of offal
The end inevitable, delayal futile, resistance hopeless
Gone forever are the days of cheer and energy,
When immortality was obvious and the world had no cares.
Now laughter is dead, soft songs forbidden.
Even dreams are bitter and soulless.
Why bother? And to that only fools give us answers.
Nothing to do but contemplate death.
Each second bringing me closer.


(I should note that all of the poems I have, but one, were composed and written up during business studies lessons.)

I wrote quite a bit of poetry. Some about love and some about hate. About the worst and about the great. Words, some say, could set one's soul afire. Words describing fears and desire. The love in a hateful shell and a smiling face hiding one's hell.

I could give a link to my deviantart profile where I keep all my poetry, but that would be advertising. Holy crap, I just advertised. Bye. I mean meow. Yeah, meow. That's it. Let's go with that.

When I was about 14/15 I wrote poetry. Well, no, actually it doesn't deserve that label. Mostly angsty self-hate crap, with occasional doses of "I'm going to brutally kill you all, REEEVENGE!!!" sentiment. I have no idea where all this stuff I wrote is. I think I may have binned the whole lot in a fit of artistic temperament :p I don't think the mods would like that sorta stuff posted on here anyways. Swears, suicide and vicious murders aren't really family fun.

The future used to be so bright,
everything used to turn out alright,
but now the sunshine is gone,
the hope is long gone.

Just a smiling shell,
smiling as the days go by,
but the man hides his hell,
from now until the day he dies.

A man tormented by fate,
the world's love overwhelmed by hate,
the roads are paved with foreboding dread,
and the world, it wants him dead.

And yet even as all the hope is long gone,
he continues to fight on,
the man worries not where the other road lead,
he'll continue his fight until he's dead.

Here's a poem of mine. I write short, usually four stanza, poems. They vary in themes, but pain, hope, and foxies are reoccurring themes.

The Machine:

You work all day you work all night to feed a machine that built a machine that pays a machine to teach kids to write,
They feed from a system that pay sthe machine,
Then pay back the machine to keep funding the dream,
You get up at six sit in your car wearing your suit smoking morning cigar,
The cool city sunshine passes you by as radio drive time feeds you the lie,
The rows of homeless shoppers and suits all bussle around you but who gives a hoot,

You walk through the city with little in head,
But last evenings telly and the warmth of your bed,
Thinking of lunch break, dreaming a dream
You walk past the town hall and huge tv screen,
You come to the offices of a large service company who feed a machine from which you earn money,
You stole through the loby and climb up the stairs one hand in pocket running fingers through hair,
You go to your desk, and pull out your seat fidlle some files and shuffle your feet,
And whilst you fidling and shuffling shuffling and fiddling you can't help but feel that somethign is missing,

The cogs of the machine are still turning away,
Collecting transfering and handing out pay,
The Machine that woke you this morning will soon send you to bed,
With dreams of your work day and tv in head,
While this day is over and all youve dones gone,
Tommorow its mirror and the same every one,
The Machine ever flowing just like a river,
The system the take the master the giver,
But your still working all day and working all night,
To feed the machine that built the machine that paid off the machine that taught YOU to write

Devour

Sweet nightfall
that unknowingly
places me between the sword and the wall
Prisioner
I wait for you until dawn

Sweet and warm
is the sweat
that I drink from your neck, love
And now, let me finally burn!

If at the edge of time
I lose my reason
-I hate it to be slow-
I would devour
devour your heart

Sweet and rough, that ocean
Gothic, the inferno that burnt
the thorns
the gardenias of this passion

Clawing at emotions
Under a treacherous sky
-I hate it to be slow-
I would devour
Devour your heart

If I try to
If I try to I know
That gambling I'll lose what I earned
Strong and immense
It's hard and hard to tell you that
that if I gamble at it
I will lose myself
Perhaps lose you
If you're not there

Overtake me
Consume me
and smoke me one last time
Bitter
Those sweet lips that I kissed!

I would devour
Devour your heart...

I am very deliberately not reading any of the poems in this thread, but I just want to note this - if any of the following qualities apply to you, your poetry is probably not nearly as good as you think it is and you will regret posting it later:

- You are a teenager
- You are in love
- You are filled with a deep existential angst
- You have not actually read much poetry other than your own
- You think poems necessarily have to rhyme
- You think poems that don't rhyme are more unique and "edgy"

I say this with your best interests at heart, as I, too, was once an angsty lovelorn teenager who wrote shitty poetry. :tongue:

In the interests of this thread, I'll throw in my two favorite poems. Not mine, but love them.

We Real Cool by Gwendolyn Brooks
We real cool. We
Left school. We

Lurk late. We
Strike straight. We

Sing sin. We
Thin gin. We

Jazz June. We
Die soon.

One Art by Elizabeth Bishop
The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.


--Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.



Favorite poem is T.S. Eliot's The Hollow Men (http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/784/), but a bit too long to reproduce here.

places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.


--Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.



Favorite poem is T.S. Eliot's The Hollow Men (http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/784/), but a bit too long to reproduce here.

All three excellent choices. Not enough people know Bishop well, but she's really rather wonderful. :)

True, but I can only think of one person I would be willing to get drunk with... :)

Me.
