Every forum must have a poetry thread.

My contribution today reflects my sorry state after catching the flu.

Fever pills in kitchen, so far away
Like a silver unicorn, uncatchable prey
Here I lie, feverish in my bed
Telling the truth, from my blanket shed


Eh...it doesn't exactly flow when I read it, but let's just say that the fever cripples me ATM:-)

Contribution in Discover style most welcome.

I am a poet.

I am a poet , I throw rhymes and I post text's
I do do it right , I dont get out of the context

I keep my styll , I don't even feel no complex

havent you heard ? metaphors can add some dopeness

I am a peot ,

I cry now so only good can come around next

I cry now but maybe I start to enjoy this

I play around but what if I really meaned this ?

would you throw likes or would you even catch this ?


:crazy:  




It does not die , it multiplies !

 7.101 and I will upgrade maybe this summer .

My today, in haiku:

Matchbox Microphone
Seemed like such a good idea
But it didn't work.
I'm still doing it wrong.

You're reigning,
its' raining,
i'm reigning it in.
Who is the looser?
Which one will win?
All of this nonsense,
all of this din,
is making me want
to do it again.
You're working,
it's working
they're working on me.
Everything's working
so perfectly.
You'd better keep hoping
I don't get too strong,
'cos one of these days
I will prove you wrong.
...and toast please, does that come with coffee?

Fever dream electric flames./ Shivering shells, dancing dames./ Battling beasts with broken horns./ Pruning roses, grooming thorns.

Thank's for contributing:-)


Through the feverish night, I was the knight
From the wuthering height, She was in sight
With my electric flame, I took good aim
aimed for profetic fame,subdued my Dame

My pleasure. Onward:

The dame a damsel in distress.
Dragon scales adorned her dress.
The dragon slayed despite the heat.
By rhythmic pump of blasting beat.

Wow that was quick, great :)
My process is muuuch slower, having to google to understand phrases and some words, and then google to check what I just wrote.
And then there's that fever still crippling me. Have to sleep a night or two on this one :)

No worries. Take your time and get well. I write fast since I write for poetrysalon.com and specialize in sonnets (can do sonnets to order in about twenty minutes).

One of the only 2 I have on my computer (the rest are in notebooks).

Is this a dream?
I'm not sure how I got here or where I'm going to be exact
but the peices of the puzzle don't seem to match.
It's as if i woke up one day,
Different...
Estranged...
Lost...
Maybe this is the end.
Maybe this is what i was meant to be.
All in all, I just miss the mind i left behind
on your basement floor those many years ago.
The life shattered by changing currents.
Long forgotten...
Long awaited...
Just a dream of a dream.
"As I stare into the digital abyss, I will remember when the world was real."

You inspired me to try making an English Sonnet.
After battling ABAB for...too long, I decided to stop there.

My world is fading right before my eyes
I witness once again the fall of Rome
My spark is scared of dark and cries then dies
And then the Reaper came to take me home


Would be interesting to practice sonnets. Amusing puzzles.

BTW if you see something gramatically wrong, "too odd" phrasing or something violating all known poetic conventions, excluding Vogonic,  please let me know:-)

Hey man. You've got your iambic Pentameter and rhyming perfect. Second stanza:

My world is shrinking down to smaller size.
By perch afforded hung from astral dome.
A birds eye view on all that floats and flies.
To spot the jealous gems and crumbling chrome.

When man reads haiku

If you read haiku
Count two bars in 4/4 time
For each line you read

Count three silent beats
After lines both one and three.
Second? Just add one.

There's no need to tap
You can do this if you try
Save your fingertips!

That was too complex
I lost count on the fourth line
And now my brain hurts

Failure

Every time
I start to rhyme
My lyric for the reader
It always seems
To fall between
Iambic and pentameter.

It's feminine rhyme
'Most all of the time
(But sometimes masculine too)
Common measure
With all of it's treasures
But boring and dull to boot.
I'm still doing it wrong.
