Dillon Levenque Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 10 to 15 poems? You'll need massive pruning, I think. Even if you limit contributors to those of us on the Forum, your judges will have mountains of poems to sort. I'd bet almost everyone that posts here has two or three really good ones to share. I'm pretty modest so I only have two: a Western style haiku for which the first line had already been written and a short poem that is really just one long badly punctuated sentence. Oh wait, the sonnet. I have a sonnet, too! Shakespearean style: abab, cdcd, efef, gg (the Italian rhyme scheme was different). It was pretty horrible but it was fourteen gosh darn lines of iambic pentameter. See what I mean? You should create an alt immediately to deal with the deluge.

Dresden Ceriano Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Well, I can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised when the poem I wrote, entitled c o m p l e t e l y, which I submitted to the Love Me Notes forum contest, was chosen as the winning entry. If you feel it's good enough for you to use, I would again be pleasantly surprised. Let me know. ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steph Arnott Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 The Purple Forest ~ By Kelley Wonder Peeking round the violet twilight the sun steals its last furtive glance. As lavender petals give their embrace for a kiss of lights last chance. Fields of mauve and magenta blooms sway softly in the evening air. As elvish lights descend to roam the purple haze of dusks gauzy air. Crystal dew drops begin to form, and slide from aubergine leaves. In chains of diamond necklaces to bathe the orchids reprieve. At last the amethyst glow retreats, to await another day. As sugar plum fairies dance about, to bid farewell to lilacs decay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudolphFarquhar Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Roses are red, violets are blue, what colour are yours? Well, since you don't seem to be worried about apostrophes or rhyme, as evidenced by your presentation of Kelley's doggerel. Did you translate it from the original language yourself, Steph? **********Rudi********** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steph Arnott Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 I not understand your inflexibility, language evolves, what you speak would be considered incomprehensible fifty years ago. The English language you defend so vehemently is nothing more than a mashed up concoction of everyone else's true language. If you truly can find one word that is English I salute you. ADDED: What has rhyme to do with poetry, you very strange. All ways shouting at the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steph Arnott Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 There were no English words there, you really should learn history. Shame as you are not a fool, just angry at the world.

Shame as you are not a fool, just angry at the world. Here's about the only bit of history I like. It's a historical quote from Henry Ford: "I wouldn’t give a nickel for all the history in the world. It means nothing to me. History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we make today." I adore the language English has become. Not the English you try, unavailingly, to speak/type, not even Shakespeare's English (he invented thousands of English words, by the way, which of itself gives the lie to your ignorance) but the English that educated people use to attempt to give insight into their cogent thoughts. Oh, I'm not angry. I never get angry. I am just better at expressing myself than most. You don't understand though. You won't ******* understand, either. Ever. **********Rudi********** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steph Arnott Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Yes you are correct about Shakespeare. Henry Ford well I sure the third riche would agree.

You might like it, but that certainly doesn't make it a "good" poem. If it is a poem at all, as opposed to doggerel based on the thesaurus entry for 'purple', that is. **********Rudi********** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
