This road keeps turning into new...
paragraphs...things
are getting hairier, but
not like a zoo, 'cause
nothing's enclosed anymore...it's
all just a paper airplane
that unfolds itself midflight heading
always to the fire place.
I'm feeling very South
pole today...a wayward shopping cart.
Posts bow down in front of
overboard train
tracks in this city's left
arm...someafter
noonsoon every museum'll
cave out and all
the globe'll
be covered in classic shrapnel.

What do you guys think?...i would like some honest
feedback...thanks

it looks a bit like a mess, really.

the structure and/or the paradigma of chosen words is all
over the place.

I like "classic shrapnel" :) Thats neat. :)

Other than that, it seems to need some work. Most poetry
does need work... theres not really such a thing as a
perfect poem. I write a lot of poetry (or, I used to), and I
want to show people, but I dont know...

Some of it is very bad. :) My angry ones are badbadbad!

Some of it is on my diary here if anyone cares.

It might have personal meaning to you or something but after
reading a couple lines I caught myself drearily skimming the
rest. The message in that last post that got closed "why ae
suck" or something, now that was art.

thanks...here's another one...(it rhymes even):

I better my best is bet than you er
as I boat my boast through this bored old sewer
i eat a thousand beets per breakfast
and i already accomplished the feat of a million smiles per
shower
bright years and light beers under the rest
i lie even below those siamese ghost towers

but i shall a nut be
unshelled and not out of the tree
full of hot topical creams
i fought my tropical cancer's schemes
and drank pails of male menstruale
i thank the tales of the fishiest whales
for my failing ways and my sailing woes
while i know that my gray areas
remain much hairier than most

and did you know i could pet dogs like it's nobody's fleas?
dropping flies by and by until i find my bees
i would embrace the skies
but they don't make my favorite flavor in my size
so maybe it's time i mind my own breeze.

Each new statement doesn't make sense,.. or if it makes
sense in some abstract metaphorical way, I don't feel like
figuring it out at all. The rhyming is awkward too. It's
pointless, but isn't humorously pointless.

your poetry seems rather arbitrary. not thought through very
well.

w M w's "poem" has about the same value. good poetry gives
you the idea that the poet wants you to follow a direction,
bad poetry just looks like a bunch of words stuck together.

You can use this one in a song if you are into that sort of
things.
Just make a some sort of hardcore tecno and somewhere in the
song, cut everything out exept the melody and just speak the
poem while the song gradually builds up again. Might turn
out pretty cool. :)

I once met a girl wearin' yello',
she told me her name was J-lo.
My mom knows her dad,
it is kind of sad,
that her (J-lo's) ass is just made of some jello.

Life in formaline

serene..soundless..
eyes observe
diffused light reaches me
the outside world scares..
frightens..
I'll stay here..
'till eternity
I'm safe

my attempt -

Tranquilise,
Close your eyes,
Sliding through slow-motion light.
Suprise your mind -
Have a line!
Fade through ketamine delight.
Blurring time
Into sublime
Black hole of technicolour light.

a rule I leaned is that should people initially like your
work, do not follow it up further, at least for a while.

Dop not attempt to ride the coatails of your initial
success. it seems to dumb things down very much.

nice one Tab, prolly appreciate it more if I was into the

i dunno, i wouldn't think you could improve upon leaves of
grass or anything from blake. heck, i have a friend who
makes perfect poetry. i think the key is to stop using the
mind and more the heart... not to overthink, but let it
flow. this coming from somebody who won't share his poetry.

that's silly... not to stop using the mind, but balance it
with the heart i guess... cause a good poem feels something
of course.

well thing about most poetry is, its best left for the
person who wrote it. to not make it public.

most people write poetry about "their feelings 'n stuff"
which is fine, but you could write that down anyway.

good poetry is like architecture with words, with its own
rhythm, its own musicality.

just writing from the heart won't do it. maybe a point to
start from, but then there's still the rewriting to be done.

i'm sorry to bring this up again...but can you guys even
tell which of the poems i put down is by one of the best
poets that ever lived (i'll tell you who if you're able to
guess)

best poet to ever live? that's quite the claim.

qrter... i guess i was making reference to poetry that i've
read that is supposed to be clever, but actually quite
boring.

i actually only read the first one until now... kinda like
the one that starts "I better my best ..." is it that one?
