writing help: Does anyone here write poetry? - Help.com

Used to. Realized I sucked, stopped.

Hey Rain! I do, some of it you can catch here, check some of the posts, you’ll find lots!

I do. It’s not brilliant poetry but I don’t care.

I do mean from other users, not just me:D

I know.

Hehehe, I love your av!

yeah, the av is certainly a good idea

Lol. aren’t we all. Anyways, poetry! Do you often try your hand at different poetic forms?

Forms of Sonnet, Villanelle, Sestina, etc? You may or may not have done, but if not, look up the poetic forms on Wikipedia and the structures and rhyming sequences will prove inspirational once u practice them

Yeah do it, but definately check out the wikipedia entries for simple clear-cut definitions of various concepts backed up by a couple of famous classics in that style. you can’t go wrong

I know… there’s one that’s a “letter” it’s not supposed to mean anything other than it does… there are others though… have fun! remember,even if you’re writing a song or a poem, they don’t have to rhyme, they don’t have to make sense to everyone else. write from your heart. It’s there you find your best work. Learn the forms and it’ll just come to you! Have fun!!!!!

of course! love to write poetry

Every now and then, but I really suck at it.

every now and then i dont think im that good but alot of my friends tell me its pretty good.. but can u really trust friends for opinions like that??

I do. Most of my posts are poems. I’d love it if you’d check them out and tell me what you think…

well yeah I write poetry, but not very often I just write when something bad or very sad happens to me.. and sometimes I write about happy stuff.

I have a good grasp of the art of parodying the poetry of others.

yes

Idea. All the people who said they write poetry, submit a poem.

submit a poem huh! anyone else up for that?

How about I just parody the one I find would be the most amusing?

Go ahead.

Groovy. I’ll wait until we have some poems submitted, though. I might submit one of mine, but most of you will have seen it before, as it’s one of my posts.

Lol. If u want to parody something, try this!
I wrote it a while back as a small part of a project, it deals with biblical matters, and it DOES make sense, although it is a bit of a headache

Perhaps the paramount problem perchance,
Is primordial, peccable, paralogism
That pathogenesis paternally plant’s,
And panoptēs paragon’s purpose imprison.

In pernicious past, a prior proceeding
Pierced palladium’s panoply,
A pestilent, parlous ploy preceding
Eve’s partaking of Perfidy

Peccavi proved a pointless pretence
And perceptual parallax did perforce
A Parting with paradise, and Paraclete’s presence
Perfidy, perdition, and remorse…
I wonder if Eve was blonde?

I’m a lot better with ones that… flow. Sorry. Not a bad usage of the letter “p”, though.

‘In likeness of God was man created’

(To fight and to scorn; dissent to parade
To whom it concerns, that must have grated

As Cain slew his brother our virtue abated
O’, son of Adam your life was betrayed
In likeness of God was man created

With cruel tempr’d metal, sharp and serrated
Blood paints the sod in a redly cascade
To whom it concerns, that must have grated

The act of sin, to us delegated
The balance of Earth, by us unmade
In likeness of God was man created

Unto creator, our actions related
With terrorist wars and justice decayed
To whom it concerns, that must have grated

In quest for meaning, wisdom belated
Misunderstanding; our actions relayed
In likeness of God was man created
To whom it concerns, that must have grated )

In likeness of man was god created.

(To kill and to hate; through ages and ages
For all that were born, from pages to sages

As we all fear our betters, or those who could be,
So He feared his Lucifer, reacting quickly,
and quelling rebellion, “He” really is “we”.

Both cruel and hard-handed, both want to be best,
Both do their worst happily, lest they fail the test.
We save those who follow, and d*mn all the rest.

If we were from Gods, wouldn’t we be pure?
Wouldn’t men have the powers to save and to cure?
But Gods are from men, though far more demure.

The act of sin, from us delegated
to God, though His sins are much celebrated.
In essence, he’s us, just amplificated. ((poetic license, bite me))

Of pride and of wrath, and many another,
Why would God want you to kill your own brother?
No love from ones’ self, to give to another?

In quest for purpose, logic abandoned,
man made up a God, and then He demanded
for all us to serve Him, lest we be disbanded,
and thus the creators became the commanded.)

Not my best work, but I like it.

To be one is to be alone
but with you i am complet
not one but whole forever

small an short but yea
