You were tired, I'll let you off.

But seriously, how awesome is that site??

belra, not being ignorant is not a form of pretentiousness. if you want to be ee cummings at least learn the rules before you break them. they aren't hard.

and when conveying ideas you don't want the reader to be distracted by his own tut-tutting at your mistakes

sadly it has errors in some of its categorical statements. it says possessive pronouns don't have apostrophes, forgetting "one's"

and it forgets individual letters have apostrophes in the plural, minding one's p's and q's for instance.

no just an obsessive hobby.
maybe someday.

Maybe that's it. I'm just too damn lazy or self-obsessed to bother to think outside the box. It'd be work right.... I don't want writing to become work.

Who is ee cummings? lol sorry but I must ask. But no I suspect I wouldn't want to be him/her. I have no desire to be famous or for even people to like my writing. It's just used to empty my mind not to be praised for and I only posted that "peom" to start the thread and really it hasn't inspired anyone else to post their stuff... Sadness.

This is like from 2000 when I was going through the stage of rage. I wrote this the day after I cut off this guy's hair for being a complete dick to me... I won't get into specific's but I will say he didn't know when to shut up. Hope you like...Be gentle lol

Oh my Angel... Agony.
I wish you still tasted sweet,
But look how we've grown,
So old so cold.
Are you not jaded too?
So tired of raging against the ignorance of the many,
So sorry that our truth couldn't blaze through.
How ironic that I've been left bruised,
Coz our abuse has seeped through;
Even if it was to changed them for the better.
Forgive me my Angel,
That we be the lasting evil no more;
But maybe they'll see... Our victims I mean,
That like soul mates... That we truly loved them all.

a minute ago you said it was to get thoughts across and convey ideas.

i'm gonna paraphrase robert frost

you can do without all that stuff, like you can play tennis without a net, but which is the better game

and i reckon you might like e e cummings, the last line is the killer:

somewhere i have never traveled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully, mysteriously) her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands

I write mostly in song lyric form due to me writing songs
But i also write prose poetry (not so much these days) and i used to write stories and scripts but that all fell by the wayside.
I do enjoy writing song lyrics... the impact a completed song with your story in it is amazing

Wow Kesh you've gone up in my estimation's. Is that E E Cummings? Coz' that is amazing.

Been reading some poetry and I've found my flaw... Apart from me being a happy apostrophe killer and that is, I'm too direct. Though it's not of upmost importance for my purposes I write like it's a story and I it's not charming.
