Don't judge me, man...

Starter Poem..

To be a writer means many things
Giving birth to a novel, or a poem someone sings
I’m having some trouble, I’m sure you’ll agree
With deciding which writing style really fits me
“As the darkness creeps in” I threateningly start
Determined to find the chink in your heart
A demon closes in, a new monster is born
Then out of nowhere comes a sparkly unicorn
I’m painfully aware of this poem’s shortcomings
It’s not Poe or Lovecraft, it’s really prose slumming
So try to one up me, that’s really my goal
Let’s get this poetry forum to ROLL!

I think my brain is bleeding...

Yay, I affected someone!! I'm SO on my way to becoming a writer...or...patient 0!!

Poetry is hard for a lot people to grasp and enjoy...its not for everyone...I personally like it/write it....

some good poets I love are Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Jim Carroll (earlier works before Basketball Diaries), E.E. Cummings, Eavan Boland is perhaps my favorite female poet...Mya Angelou and Dickenson are good, though admittingly I never wrapped my brain around anything the Bronte sisters wrote..I like Poe, I like Shelley...I love the book by Paul McCartnet 'Blackbird Singing'...pretty good (a bonus since im a beatles NUT)

...just throwing some names out there...

I love to read poetry, and when I look back at the things I wrote when I was younger and wrote alot, most of it was poetry. I love Poe and Lovecraft, and Byron. I have a passion for the Bronte's that I usually don't make public..
Maybe I should concentrate on poetry for a while, then tackle an actual big story...

Montilee does not like poetry. You could be Chaucer, Ashbery and Plath all rolled together and she'd roll her eyes at you.
