A thread to discuss poetry and all it’s forms and virtues
so you may wish to post here all and any views
on how you feel there may be some content
to any poems your mind may have spent
reading and enjoying the meaning they bring
wether they make you smile scowl or sing.The great poets maybe old or young
some are heralded some are un-sung
in life in death in sadness or grief
there can be only one belief
some words bring comfort some bring joy
it is how you perceive them that is the truth you know.@mellow wrote:

I love poetry me mellow
ive wrote hundreds
so where do we put our poems on here,or the arts thread?………and don’t diss what a person posts either [-X whether you like it or not
So you only want people to say a poem is lovely even if they can see room for improvement?
yes, don’t stifle constructive criticism [-X even when you feel you’re being dissed.
There’s nothing sacred about a poem. If anyone disses a good poem, they show themselves up. The poet is like anyone else here when faced what carping – shrug it off, ignore it. Why is that so hard?
You can’t control discussion, especially when it’s not malicious. If I want to discuss poetry, I may discuss it here, maybe on the other thread, unless a rule stops me. Separating the threads doesn’t strike me as making much sense.
Having said, that I’m refraining form injuring fragile sensibilities – unless I can’t resist :) . Post away.
Life In A Love
Escape me?
Never—
Beloved!
While I am I, and you are you,
So long as the world contains us both,
Me the loving and you the loth
While the one eludes, must the other pursue.
My life is a fault at last, I fear:
It seems too much like a fate, indeed!
Though I do my best I shall scarce succeed.
But what if I fail of my purpose here?
It is but to keep the nerves at strain,
To dry one’s eyes and laugh at a fall,
And, baffled, get up and begin again,—
So the chace takes up one’s life ‘ that’s all.
While, look but once from your farthest bound
At me so deep in the dust and dark,
No sooner the old hope goes to ground
Than a new one, straight to the self-same mark,
I shape me—
Ever
Removed!Just a little poem I finished a couple of year’s ago. But then Robert Browning used a time machine and pinched my poetry folder and he claimed all the glory!

not at all…….it would be nice for people to post their poems and for them to be read, accepted for what they say and not picked to bits by someone who had nothing to do with the writing.

Who has picked a poem here to bits??
You want to ban literary criticism??
So basically please read my poem but if you don’t think it’s lovely then don’t say anything at all. OK got it.
If anyone reads my haikus or any poems I choose to share and thinks there is room for improvement I welcome the feedback…except for the one for Dawn, that stays as is. :D
