Upper Arlington is known as a wealthy end of town by the way.

@bluejay Probably about 45 min. You can check google maps.

Believe it or not, @bluejay, I have no idea. 😛 Fine excuse for an Ohioan I make. 😉

Thanks @writefury. 😛

@mas410, Really?!?! That’s so cool! You’ll have to refresh my memory; where have we met before? I’m sure I’ll remember…I’m kind of having a brain-foggy day. 😉

Wonderful @spradlin!

Though I have a hard time imagining a bard singing something like this in a tavern… more like at a funeral. 😛

Hey, who says you can’t be willing to die for frozen raspberries @Daeus!?!? Why else do you think they say ‘to die for’?

😛

Hm, yes @spradlin… though that might more denote (get it? Denote? *sigh* Okay, that was really bad) a… community for sharing noteworthy thoughts than a blog of just one person’s noteworthy thoughts.

I don’t know… thoughts?

Yes. I did just use ‘thoughts’ way too many times in one paragraph.

Ah— gotcha @Daeus. Thanks so much.

Yes, I know what you mean… it’s funny, but I’ve tried over and over and over to poeticize (like my made up word? 😛 ) about an object, but for some reason I can only do it about really deep thoughts. Concepts, if you will. Like with this one, I wanted to take the word ‘love’, which is so commonly misused…[Read more]

WAIT WHAT NO @SPRADLIN REALLY??? I can’t imagine why… 😛

@kate-flournoy Is toil a one syllable word? Well then, I suppose I meant use a softer word.

What I meant by “replacing ‘cruel’ with ‘and’…” is basically, “The winds of age and fate and fill in the blank together racked and shook him.”

I think part of my problem with long poems is what my poems are about. They tend to be about objects, or though…[Read more]

Eh… that might be a bit of a reach. 😉

Let’s see. *waits for bolts of inspiration from the blue*

*still waits for bolts of inspiration from the blue*

*continues to wait for bolts of inspiration from the blue*

*concludes that there is no such thing as a bolt from the blue, and as for inspiration, it is a fallacious fairytale our teachers…[Read more]

We were posting at the same time @spradlin! 😀

Thanks for the pointers— I can see how that would be a problem, definitely. Would it work, do you think, to cut each line in half, where most of them have a slant rhyme with the middle of the prior line?

Thanks, @Daeus and @faithdk!

Couple questions, Daeus… ‘toil’ is a one syllable word. ???
Also, I’m not quite sure what you meant about replacing ‘cruel’ with ‘and’… I can’t seem to grasp what specific changes you were getting at.
And… oh yeah. Oops. He did lose his shield, didn’t he? *gulp* Man, that’s embarrassing. 😛
All your other…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy

First of all, let me just repeat that this is a great poem – not to mention long, which I is something I can never manage.

Also first of all, make sure all your lines have a capital first letter.

Now for the many other first of alls:

but he never once forsook the field; forsook the toil or tears.

Replace “toil” with a one…[Read more]

There was a thread on this a while ago. You can check it out below. Mine’s on there though I still haven’t decided whether it is actually a blog or not. https://kingdompen.org/forums/topic/any-bloggers-out-there/

Oh, and @overcomer… 😛 😉

@spradlin, @hislittlerose, @jadamae… you guys are all poets. What do you think?

Okay @Daeus, @hope, @anyone-else-who-liked this, I’ve been working over it, and I think I’ve got it finished. I want to publish it with KP, but I want to know what you guys think of it first. Without further ado, here it is in it’s entirety.

And just because, here’s the link to the music I was listening to when I wrote the last verse. I think it…[Read more]

@bluejay will respond tomorrow.
