I think I like this one, NL. Very strong messages, and very good.NecronLord wrote:Books by NecronLord (this one is far less formal)
Bound in creaking leather
Thick tomes of hate
Terrible ignorance, and intolerance
If thy wife speaks-
Beat Her
For that is her fate
With hard Spines
Thick Tomes of Spite
Evil abounds in many forms
Though what is evil and what is good?
War is Good
If it is commanded by a deity
Murder is Good
As long as they aren't from my tribe
Hate is Strength
When it is righteous wrath
Slay the infidel
Cast down his altars
Pillage his lands.
Contined in books
Bound in creaking leather
Thick tomes of hate
Books of Worship?
Or
Books of Hate
Honestly, it's because you TRY to write it. I can't speak for Shinova or weemadando, but as for myself, I find it just comes to me, and I put it on the paper...there's really nothing to it. I personally can't stand reading poetry, for the most part, but enjoy the way it feels to write it. Poetry is not something you should look for in yourself; let it flow, let it breathe from your hand, a lot like the way a fic will, sometimes. You can't force poetry, it is beautiful only when it blooms by itself.Kelly Antilles wrote:why is poetry so hard to write? I can't do it. I've tried and failed miserably.

Strangley enough, I tend to be poetic in the stupidest things, such as that, or a recent conversation I had with Stormy via AIM....
If you can make poetry, it's because it comes like inspiration. I've never heard of anyone sitting and thinking along a formula and making a poem. It sounds crazy, and yes, it does produce crazy results(The incomprehensible poem on Page 2, for example).Kelly Antilles wrote:ok, then poetry is something I can't quite grasp.verilon wrote:Honestly, it's because you TRY to write it.

You have my attention... I"m curious about the conversation.
Lovely thread derailing! Anyways, we had a conversation, and were asking questions about each other (a lot I won't remember unless a question is asked about a praticular question), and he asked me what I look for in a guy. I told him, but it was incredibly poem-like. Unfortunately, I did not save it as I wanted to (because I wanted to put it in my LJ)....-_-;;Kelly Antilles wrote:ok, then poetry is something I can't quite grasp.

You'd be amazed how much inspiration you can draw out of a 2 Liter bottle of coke and a dozen pixie sticks.verilon wrote:Aside from HS English classes...

You have no idea...in fact, I am writing a Cello Duet inspired by some guitar music. It will, naturally, sound nothing like it, but like I said, the simplest things will inspire you.Kelly Antilles wrote:I guess I express my "poetry" in a different way.

Ditto....and some people just can't write poetry....it's a talent that some just don't acquire...but if you did, Iggy...I'm sure it would be excellent...IG-88E wrote:ROTFLMAO! That's horrible...AND I LOVE IT!!
I can't write poetry. Just some kind of mental inability.
Poetry isn't hard. The simple, children's rhymes anyway. Just pick a short story with a moral, an ironic twist, or whatever, and make it rhyme and flow in a rhythm.verilon wrote:Ditto....and some people just can't write poetry....it's a talent that some just don't acquire...but if you did, Iggy...I'm sure it would be excellent...IG-88E wrote:ROTFLMAO!

Okay, it's not easy to do imagery-filled, metaphorical poetry. I'm not capable of hidden meaning and flow, bizzare imagery and the like which shows off the hidden textual face of human emotion. I write short rhyming stories about kid-eating ghoulies and women with large boobs.verilon wrote:It is actually a hard concept for me....I can't force a poem....I have to let it ....flow....
