Poets.. artists of words? or just a bunch of :sleep: boring people?

Actually I don't care. I'm just curious if there are any poets among us. An attempt to find the 'real' artist! :lol:

Dare to post your poem? (and perhaps a short comment?)

I think poets are kool in a way. Like those poets we see in movies. How they are gentleman and when they say the poems, it's so kool.

I wanna be like them, unfortunately, I am bad at poetry. >_>

I think that poets are not boring people. They're actually smart people who can play around with words. It requires talent and skill to actually make one hence not alot of people can do their job.

I do love some poems (especially when I get the meaning). I think poems are a sophisticated way to articulate the poet's feelings/thoughts. Sometimes they can contain really deep meaning although when you first read it, it looks simple. Something like allegory?

However for those 'advanced' poems, I don't think I'd ever like it U.U My poetic self is too simple that I don't think I'd ever manage to process complicated poems by myself.

i think poetry can b boring, but once u get into them, they are very deep, meaningful and mostly allegorical, illusionised and full of symbols.

i think that poems sometimes can be very lovely. Some are down right boring...(samuel colleridge i think has a few boring ones. But i think one of his was rather good!)

But neywayz, poetry can b dead boring, but if the poet is a good one, then he/she will make poetry enjoyable.

I've posted these elsewhere before, but I haven't had time to write any new ones hehe.

QUOTE
-Forgotten Surrender-

For every word we wish we'd said,
Our fallen tears, like visible silence untold,
Rest envisioned through thoughts remembered.
Gone are nights I loved (you) in secret; when romance
Outsoared reason, taking me heavenward an exile.
Tender follies engrained by dreamer's coquette nail
Transcend mine heart to bitter destiny.
Even as death our bodies face, for all eternity,
None shall know my cries that form reality.

Notice how the left side spells "Forgotten" and the right side spells "Surrender" =P


QUOTE

-Clock of Departing Night-

I've uncovered my youthful clock of departing night.
To warmed winter minutes promised to tick-tock again.
The chirping spring invades cloudless love.
Its gardens brimming endless morning, as I say goodbye.

And as I turn towards the winding rainbow road,
Pure mourning shines down from widowed sky.
Its beams with heart’s rain to guide the way -
The journey away from blessed desire

So I march, with time in hand, pressing on,
Turning back the hands once more.
One by one the memories fade,
As leaves do fall from passing trees.

The final stretch,
Just one look back.
The setting sun
On broken hands.

Translation:
I'll rarely do this, but here goes.  If you'd notice, as the poem goes on, the poetic structures/beauty/sensation (w/e you wanna call it) break down, as do the lengths of the lines.  This symbolizes the breaking of the man's sanity, his reason, his life...until the very end when his "time"/life has ended.  The gist of this poem is that a man realizes that his time with his beloved is over, and that he must leave her (why he must leave i won't say =P).  She is everything to him.  It's true love that causes him to leave, hence the "pure mourning".  The "journey away from blessed desire" and the path across the rainbow path is representation of the girl.  The girl is the treasure, the blessing at the end of the rainbow, and he's walking away from it.  "Heart's rain" is symbolism that represents tears and "turning back the hands" means he is reminiscing...He remembers everything until the very end, when he finally loses it.  Yet even then, the memories are there...his mind fighting to remember them in vain as his loss of sanity pushes him to forget.  When the last memory leaves...there ends his life.


QUOTE

-Dream of a Romantic-

Gazing towards the setting sun, sighs of sorrow seep my soul.
Figments of my muse in midst of visions by and by…
How thy cursive being waltzes on the lakes of old.
Our shadows dancing cheek to cheek beneath the moonlit sky.

Rhythmic rhymes of raspberry rain so gently kiss thy form
As morning hues of star swept fire sweep the rainbow's end.
It is here I find celestial hope and heaven's crisp divinity.
It is here you reside - in truth, in purity - an angel's den.

In crescent harmony our metronome the ocean glides,
Sailing faithfully the mysterious dark side of satin moon.
Our symphony has just begun my twinkling swan.
And lo! The coming of dawn approaches - hence ends my swoon.

Oh serene dream, mine heart's desire, fare thee well in hope's caress.
For as seasons pass, calling out from silent darkness
Shall be the beating of mine heart, in tune with thine.
Aching with sensual lunacy for the day...you're mine.


QUOTE

-Forever Love Thee Best-

As I stare into the falling snow flakes,
Images race through my spirit lonely.
Has mercy smiled or frowned upon mistake?
These mirrors of fate enshroud reality.
Viewing venom viled with honey diction
Impale my tarnished, forlorn silhouette.
Doubt arising from my foolish fiction.
Tenacious poundings wed with winged regret.
Fallacious light in quantum darkness beams
To kiss the weary heart of hope beguiled.
To dance perchance to prance in peaceful streams.
A slumber tranquil, midst of movement mild.
With fallen white I'm covered, self-caressed.
No more, no less, forever love thee best.


QUOTE

-A Heart Anon-

Leaves gently entangled my brow unfurled.

Tree limbs met with wind sharply turned.

The hollow sky my soul’s direction,

Flying for thy heart’s affection

A gentle smile, a few kind words -

A thousand years shall they stay in my lonely mind,

Paving this youthful road of memories flanked by this heart anon.

We shall remain in childish wonder, the world to ashes,

And make Father Time our fountain of youth.

All for a heart anon I’d seal the Fates.

For a heart anon, I’d seal myself.


Many of these poems are very personal to me. Like 'Clock of Departing Night' was written when I was the most heartbroken I've ever been. If you want more translations, just ask.

heh heh heh i don't write poems much :D but i think poetry should be how you feel. it doesnt matter if someone else likes it or not... it just depends on how you think you did, whether its good or bad. i believe that poetry revolves around the person who wrote it,, not the people who are reading it or listening to it

i totally agree with it. i think it is also very important that the person for who you wrote it will understand your feelings and thus understand your poems.

Hmmm ... teachers are always telling us to look for techniques when analysing poems ... but I think that can't poems jus be written in the heat of the moment and jus express people's feelings like you guys say ... why do they have to communication between intellectuals?? o.O Or are the teachers trying far too hard to put techniques on everything because that's their way to legitimise it??? o.O
