A bit of poetry
A lot of my classes involve creating stories and stuff....My favorite is poetry,which is why I always choose it as assignement. (We get to chose how to write about a toic that the teacher gives us)
Here I'll post a bit of my poetry (which is not to be considered great)
Haiku:
I am a pencil
I leave my mistakes behind
You get the point, right?
Orange Leaves falling
in a twilight autumn noon
A sight to behold
The gentle dog sits,
playfully rolls around, and
bows for his master
Rain falling from sky
The clouds weep for a lost friend
The sun has not come
Ok, I have a challenge for you. I wrote some poetry...but its in spanish....Find out what it means..WITHOUT using a translator!
I'll post one today:
Mi Eclipse
Te fuiste......te fuiste y no volviste....
Me dejaste solo y desconsolado...... Me has abandonado.....
Te he llorado, te he extranado..... y aun te llamo
Me has dejado en la oscuridad. Como la luna, me has tapado la luz hacia el alma, y me has privado del calor en mi corazon.
Camine en la oscuridad, ciego y desconsolado he caminado. Busque y busque, pero no encontrado la esperanza que buscaba...... Mi corazon apunalado ya no podrÂa caminar mas.....la herida era demasiado.
Cansado de buscar, me sentia en la oscuridad, esperando lo que nunca iba a venir.......pidiendo lo que nunca iba a obtener.
Ya no aguantaba mas..........Necesitaba ver algo. La oscuridad ya era demasiado pesada.....solo queria salir de esa pesadilla....
Quise ver el dolor.......Quise ver la luz.
Me corte y me rasgue......¦ Quise ver el dolor.......Quise ver la luz.
Llegue al lugar, pero no vi la luz.....solo mas oscuridad. Pero esta oscuridad era diferente.....No era pesada.....Era callada....HabiÂa luz.....pero no brillaba......Estaba confundido..
Ahi vi la luz....... Ahi vi una luz en medio de oscuridad. Su hola aclaro el diÂa y se llevo las nubes. Ahora podiÂa ver......Ahora podiÂa ver....
Mi eclipse habiÂa pasado. Ya podiÂa ver la luz. Ella era mi nueva luz.
Ya no te necesito, pues he encontrado un nuevo sol.
I'll add more poetry later, as soon as I find my notebooks. Feel free to post your own and comment if you like.

i hate poetry, haikus in particular. i feel if you cant say it normally, its not worth hearing.

It wouldn't be because lyrical, metered, and rhymed poetry takes both skills in one's language as well as a creative side, would it? :-)
I take it then you refuse to see
that poems can be lovely
If poems are what you disdain
Another skill then is in your brain.
Another skill set is your bag
still others then you should not nag
Ignore the things that you then hate
Let others do what's in their fate.
Quickly and crudely compose in a rushed manner 5 minutes ago, by your friendly neighborhood GH. :-)

its not a question of it being beautiful or my not being artistic; i find poetry is impractical.

So is going to the bathroom. Still, in terms of stretching one's mind, it can be very practical :-)

if you have something to say to me, say it normally or dont say it. i dont have time for poetry; i dont have time to puzzle out the symbolism behind the poem. thats why i hate poetry.
Reply 11 years ago
Hmm, I always come up with "wait time" now and then. But it is to each person's liking or ability, too. I write it, because it stretches my mind.
Do you like songs ? Most rhyme and are metred, and are therefore poetry. But I am not trying to convince you to accept, like, or write it, just trying to get you to understand why I do write it, and read occasionally.
Reply 11 years ago
Yeah, there's lots of things we do, not because they're practical, but just because we enjoy them. Like listening to music, reading a novel, watching a movie, going on a nature hike, drawing pictures, or even etching images on plexiglass... all very impractical. :-P

poetry does not follow the rules- its not brief, its not going straight to the point, and it doesnt really help me with anything
Reply 11 years ago
I understand that. But it does help ME with things, even if only from enjoyment. But it does exercise my vocabulary (since I try to make mine both metred and rhymed), and other portions of the brain, stimuating it in new ways. You many not need to worry about things like this now, but as I get older, I have noticed how much "doing things differently" keeps my brain young. Now, I have evidence to this effect.
Keeping the brain young, should start when one is not really very old.....

im not saying its bad, i just dont like it. you are entitled to your own opinion. if you like it, good for you.
Reply 11 years ago
Exactly. I wasn't, as I mentioned, trying to convince you to like it, but just explaining why I do (and why I like more and more things daily), it keeps me young :-) (see my post just above Patrik, especially the bolded portion)

The boy stood on the burning deck,
His pockets full of crackers.
A spark flew up his trouser leg,
And burned his knee rather badly.
(I'm not sure whether that joke works outside the UK?)

I'm not sure that I get it :blush:

They rhyme with crackers and British males keep them in their underpants.

You've got the knack I am sure. ;-)

I left it in the yard...
Do you think he's worked it out yet?
Reply 11 years ago
nope.
Reply 11 years ago
British males only? Hmm... I'm still stumped..... err... ><
Reply 11 years ago

You've got the knack for it.

My cousin once wrote haiku for school: Mr. Frog can't sleep. He took some Robutussin. Now Mr. Frog sleeps well.

When riding on a skateboard,
And heading for some grass,

I rather like SciFaiku:
Millennia pass
and I just watch
from my jar
late night UFO movie
I leave the porch light on
for visitors

Copy and Pasting this to google translator messes it up.....big time.....Babel fish does a decent job, but still no.
There are some characters that Instructables.com doesn't recognize...and without them....yoiu can't properly translate this...
Good luck!
