Feeling poetic? Let's hear it.

Here's mine...


subversively entwined...
concieved through misanthropy*
the rose
its harrowing beauty
consuming echoes
leaving nothing but surreal infinity
the sweet taste of blood on the tongue
personifying the innate thorns
all absorbing; defining
*isolated
the rose weeps
the corrosive agents irrelevant
it blooms once

the rose is crushed by the icy boot of fate
or it fades away into the grey nothingness



Anyone feel like analyzing it? Its not that hard...

Damn those rabbits are dumb
I think their brains went numb
I don't think they have any common sense
Cause they keep running into an electric fence
All they do is eat rotten carrots
They're dumber than dumbass parrots
I'm not sure if they're really dead,
But they are dead in the head

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Go to hell.

Alice, Alice,
Full of malice,
Sat upon a carrot.
She took a fork,
And with a squawk,
Stuck it in a parrot.
The parrot flew
Into some glue,
And got stuck there by its head,
So Alice Alice
Full of malice
Turned her tail and fled.

Well well well... it's been a while, Ex. Let's see...

My take (with hopefully forgivable inaccuracy):

Things of beauty in life, though seeming surreal, untouchable, immortal, are at a closer glance fragile, whithering, inevitably dying... Even if it requires pain, the best course we have is to embrace the beauty while it lasts, for anything worth loving is worth dolor.

And here's mine:

"Home"

Where does the flame run
When the fire dies to mud?
Why does the star you gaze upon
Draw a cold thrill to your blood?
Who is the master of your dreams
That spins our every thought...
Left in devices untamed, unseen,
Designing our battles unfought?

What sweeter road lies there within
Or without, but the road to home?
Would you rather know the ruthless wild,
Or behold the green fields sown?
Well, without that growth, and pain inlaid,
We have no path, no future made.
Yet who ventures forth without a rest,
Nor place we call our own?
Not wandering is traveling called
'Till we leave the place we've grown.

We must have a start, a vantage lost,
For without the basis, sans the cost,
We may never know the pleasure
To behold, long past the pain,
The world of grace and wonder
You may call the home you gain.

-Dolorous

I have many more, but I thought this fit the theme better than some of the others. Ah well. PM me if you like, Ex. I probably won't be able to check back in time to see more of this thread. Farewell for now.

heres mine

Humanity
i run in a straight line not knowing what hapens next,
the vastness around me is dark and forbodeing exept for the beam of light ahead of me,
i run to the beam my lungs burining with exaustion beging me to stop yet i dont,
i see the light get closer and fell as if i can finnaly rest,
i fell as if i have been set free as i run into the light,
a dark figure apeares before me,
i feel a almost primal fear to get away and before i know it i am runing,
i run faster than i have ever ran but cannot get away,
i stumbel and fall in the dark,
the darkness surounds me and i feel myself hurled into the abys that we call eternety

Are you talking about how brief our lives are? Are you talking about some distaste you have for humanity? It seems at first, you are consumed by an insatiable curiosity, and what you uncover is terrible, so you flee it, but cannot out run it. To me, that sounds like the story of our lives.

That's what I love about poetry... You can think you're saying something and others can interpret it completely different. And there can't really be a wrong interpretation. And to an extent- thats what I meant. I used the rose to represent love

Darkness take those I hold dear
What darkness calls me
Will I join them or
Will I persist in this world
This world of make believe
Down, Down
Into the depths of my heart
Of my mind I go
When I return
So will Light
(just wondering if people would consider this poetry it just came into my mind. So i wrote it down.)

I ressurrected this thread... because I love poetry. If the concept of bringing back old threads does not humor you, then cram it. Here is a poem I wrote last week:


blisters burning; legions dying, i here witness all
i saw caesar, i saw conquest, past the stone wrought wall
fight for glory; fight for honor, mighty empires fall
twists of time undo my rhymes and desecrate my hall

Crack, crack, crack,
You little children of gore,
Tear down your buildings,
Burn your sacred books,
And begin the new age of war.

We strive to live.
We strive to kill
We are all born on this land.
What we do is what become;
We are the butchers of many,
the saints of a few.
We kill this earth, just to die a fool.
