What meter are you using? (I’m not very familiar with meter so I have to ask.)

The rhymes are slant rhymes I think? They’re not exact. But it’s pretty consistent until it gets to the last stanza. I don’t think that…[Read more]

Essentially, it’s a rhyming poem, but not a metered one. Some sources consider it free verse,…[Read more]

I’ve written several endings that all have slight variations in words and…[Read more]

One of the edits I’m considering is possibly connecting some of the shorter, broken lines in the part of the poem you mention. It’s supposed…[Read more]

I wrote this poem after my uncle’s passing. He was self-taught on guitar and left a few of the instruments behind (as well as many people who loved him).

I think it must’ve marked it as spam before because I edited it a few times? Not really sure. Weird.

The Shabby Guitar

Silent is the shabby guitar 

Locked and put away

Faded are the songs it made 

Folded are the hands that played

Silent is the shabby guitar 

Slowly losing its tune

While people come a…[Read more]

Hi, @kathleenramm ! I haven’t tried reposting it yet. It’s still hidden so far as I can make out. I see on my profile that I made the post, but it’s still marked as spam in the thread section.

I’ll think about it for sure, @light-warrior-pen. 🙂

I’m actually considering altering one of those lines slightly, so I’m curious about what you think.

It would be…[Read more]

You grasped the concept of my poem perfectly! I’m glad you enjoyed it and found it relatable. 🙂 Because it’s very personal, I really wasn’t sure if anyone would be interested in it. I’m glad I decided to share it!

I’m still working on those last lines. I’m torn between fleshing them out and changing them a bit to better…[Read more]

The subject is me, the author, and the boat and sea is a fictional, metaphorical dream I used to describe the feeling of living in myself, I suppose. (Although I was next to the sea and I have been in wooden boats many times. My da is a fisherman, so.)

I’m glad you pointed that out…[Read more]

Thanks!

I haven’t written any lately, I’ve been so busy with work. Maybe I’ll write one this weekend.

This is my most recent poem. Most of my poetry is brief in length. Usually, I get out an idea or a feeling and then stop.

Forgottenings

Sediments of nostalgia shape a place:

Like icing on a cake, wrinkles in a face

Aging, changing, but ever the same feelings,

Nameless emotions, memories stirring

Like ghosts,…[Read more]

I like to rap about whatever’s on my mind and what I’m feeling. It’s a refreshing mode of expression. 😁😎👍

What do you like to rap about?

Still, I know very little about it, or if anything I’m writing is any good. So I was wondering if any of y’all are familiar with rap?

So it varies.

Plot and characters (or at least, main characters) are very connected for me, though. They’re essentially…[Read more]

All I know is that there’s something awesome and powerful about it, and also vaguely incomprehensible. XD

And cool. Which reminds me, I…[Read more]

My sister is an INTJ and she likes Darcy for the same reasons. We enjoy debating and…[Read more]

Also, the Mary Sue hero, because it’s just really hard to relate to and like a hero that is overpowered through basically no effort of their own, always gets stronger right when they need to, and never seems to actually…[Read more]

But two of them for sure. I could be best friends with at least one. 🙂

I never really gave it much thought, but I guess I prefer the Moriarty from the books. The one from the series was alright, but I don’t even remember the one from the movies. He must not have been particularly memorable.

Honestly, I think I like the idea of…[Read more]

I have seen those movies, @leon-fleming, although I wasn’t thinking of them in particular when I referred to Moriarty. I was thinking of the books.

I saw the last two Disney Star Wars movies unfortunately. I skipped the most recent one. I’m not a Disney Star Wars fan. The writing is just terrible (and there’s no excuse…[Read more]

Darth Vader. Why did I not think of him before? Most iconic, in my book. He is also a good candidate.

He acts through his minions, somehow escaping a passive role in the story despite the lack of physical presence.

Although… I guess…[Read more]

And the six-fingered man.

Hmm… honestly the first one I thought of was Loki, but again, he’s a wishy-washy sort of villain overall. He lacks conviction.

Moriarty! Smaug! I like them too.

Mother Gothel… she was really good, I thought.

Captain Hook! Now…[Read more]

. . . Can you come up with a different quest?? Tallest tower + mountain dew doesn’t really fit the job description. XD *at least I hope it doesn’t*

@leon-fleming YES food! Once, long ago, raspberries and ice cream were the most important and precious commodities of this kingdom (besides writings).

Now if I recall correctly, Chosen Ones like Anakin Skywalker, Frodo Baggins, Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen…. and many more …well, we don’t have the easiest time of it. Enjoy being Henchmen while you can. o . o

Well, then not-so-secret-assin XDD Welcome to the kingdom!! Hopefully you’ll enjoy the snacks and won’t feel the need to spy on us too much. 😀 We have lots of ice cream and raspberries around here.
