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.

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.

i SERIOUSLY do not understand poems ... hehe well except for like kid rhymes like...

roses are red
violets are blue

... blah blah blah wateva u wanna say

but yea other wise im so lost
well poems are ok at times... say ur bf writes u one once in a while for like valentine or something
that's sweet....

but if i had to seat all day to listen to his poems, i'd fall asleep in a sec.. lol....

but yea... poems are ok... just as long as i dont hafta make one

Me also cant really understand poems...cos got to know the meaning of the poems so that it will easier to absorb in.....

I think I will take a long time to understand what the poems is trying to say or expressed.....

wow teddy, didn't know you can write poems, no wonder you had the challenge be a poem. Your so lucky, good at singing and writing poems.

hehe thanks =). i have tons of hobbies =P. where's some of your work, yanyan =D?

lol, i can't write poetry for life. Like vy is the only thing i can write is kids stuff.

Believer you can really write poems well. i think it is great that you can write such poems.

Yashuo what do you think off poetry and poets??? and why don't you post some poems :P: would like to see your work :P:

I do like poems but i can't write one, my poor skill??? But i want to have those talent!!! sniff

i really don't like poems that much. i don't write good ones so i'm not really that artisitic other than drawing though

i've written poems before, some of em i like, some of em i dont... but i think poetry is a great way to express yourself... especially if you cant do anything else like draw or play music.. i always find it a great way of expressing how i feel. it helps, try it :D and poems dont have to rhyme either...

Ya I agree with u...sleepyanimeboi...that poem could express what you want to say...


but me really cant write poems....

sleepyanimeboi...is great that you know to write a poems....

I like reading poems, but writing it......... forget abt it. :tongue:

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

that is quite true...everything got to depend on that person reading 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

i like reading poetry!!! it's a very creative thought process and i think a lot of work goes into writing it since there are so many techniques

I don't write poetry if I don't have to...
