Poetry

Honest opinions please?
I've had people think I was depressed when they read this. I am not. This poem is about what I think could happen if we dont change our destructive ways, and soon
so please tell me what you think, if its not any good just say so! :D

The wheat has stopped waving
The air has grown thin
The waves of the ocean
Have stopped crashing in
The grass has grown dry
The Earth become cracked
The mountains are crumbling
No longer mighty or high

The trees have been broken
Their leaves turning in
The oceans are rising
The ice growing thin
The snow has all melted
The stars will not shine

We sat on our knees
Cryin’ please, oh please, oh please
What was done is now done
It cannot be changed
We never found love
We never lost hate
We never listened
To those who spoke out
And now here we sit
As the suns giving out

.........Christmas Medley


God rest ye Merry Gentlemen
Let nothing ye dismay...for
Away in a manger...above,
The stars are brightly shining!

Oh! Holy Night...
Repeat the sounding Name,
Rejoice! Rejoice...
All is calm, all is bright.

When up on the rooftop...
Jingle Bells! Jingle Bells!
Oh! Come all ye faithful...
Ladaumus Te! !

Here comes Santa Claus,
With a nose so bright...
Merry Christmas to All...
To All...To All...

A soft, silent, Night...

Time…rider
You must always stay behind
As days and weeks slip by
In denial,

Cloud…puffer
You must always stay so high
As months and years glide by
And the styles,

Man…mustard
You must always reapply
As time has passed you by
And the miles…

Dear, dear friends...and neighbors...
Twas yesterday afternoon, and I
Was rolling right along...answering
Questions, and dancing with delight!

Along came the time to shut my
Computer down...but, then I had to
Turn it back on...and turn back on
It did NOT!!!!

Composing this at the Library
Downtown...I'll be with you all again...

*****
If you look right here,
Between my ears
You’ll see me being only me
…Just as I appear

If you take the time
To hear my rhyme
You’ll know to know that I’m
Not near as near…can be

If you see in me
Hypocrisy
Then mirror has…reversibility,
Indeed…

*****
I’m free to be bitter
Twisting words
What I say
Ash is my whiteness
My legacy

Streetlight transaction
Works to me
Advantage is what’s taken

I’m free to be broke
Categorized
What I pay
Brown is my blackness
My heresy

I love well written books, I read ALOT. I love music with meaningful lyrics. But poetry that doesn't rhyme, sorry it just seems pretentious and self indulgent. What am I not getting?

How do you like it? Compliments/critiques please.

Music used to be about rhythm and originality
Politics, crisis and topicality
Now it's fake, whiney, popularized junk,
A mix of "gorexcore" and pop punk
At times I find it hard to not be satirical
Seeing these kids saying they are lyrical
It's not even about the music, just the "scene"
Like N'Sync half the fan base is in their teens
Yet sometimes I can't help but feel bad for the bands
Their entire careers in these attention whores hands
They say they are sad to the people they know
"You may be depressed, but I am emo!"

Death.
Flames and crosses,
That burns the soul,
Didn’t come from that black hole,
Knives and blades,
To cut and scar,
Didn’t come from afar,
Ropes and chains to buckle and tie,
Didn’t come from that black sky,
Goodnight my friend,
To sleep and dream,
Tomorrow won’t come,
As it did seem.

I'm definitely not a love poem writer (or any kind of poet, it's just a hobby), and I'm just a little shy about posting this one up here. I wrote this one for my girlfriend as a Christmas present. This is the first "happy" poem that I have ever wrote. Generally, happiness is not a feeling that I can express in words. I believe that it is much easier to express hate and suffering and basically all negative emotions, because once I tap into them, they just flow.

Anyway, with all of that being said and all of your time that you spent reading that small rant wasted, here it is. Criticism is always accepted. Give me some honest opinions people.

It has happened to me on a pathetic and poorly run site with useless and unhelpful moderators, called GaiaOnline.com

Luckily it was a crappy poem of mine, but still GRRR!

What type of metaphor is this? Where can I find more of this type of metaphor?

"My mother is a flawless, modern building, created of fices furnished with beige carpets and gleaming chromium. In every room there are machines -- computers, typewriters, intricate copiers. They are buzzing and clicking way, absorbing and spitting out information with the speed of sound. Downstairs, at ground level, people walk in and out, tracking mud and dirt over the steel-grey tiles, marring the cool perfection of the building. There are no comfortable chairs in the lobby."

The Metaphor

What type of metaphor and where can I find more of that particular type?

uhh this is the first poem i've ever written and i have no idea what to think of it. be brutal.

perhaps

perhaps the layers will peel themselves
and six years from now will come tomorrow
in the yellow morning
blinded bright cold on a bright hill
painted blue
remember this day here with me
and the days far away
the ones still to come
for the blue will fade from
the beginning that i was
and what remains is like the old song
that tells the tale of six years before
and what we have now
like a yellow chapter in a yellow song
that lasts eleven minutes instead of four
perhaps

I wrote this about those people who lost their lives in the colorado shooting at the mall. this is for them and their families.

"Innocent Victims"
Turn on your t.v.
look at the news
a shooting in the mall
in Colorado
some freak kid
shooting innocent victims
what drove him to this??
poor people
they did nothing to deserve this
as they run for help
they had no chance
of escaping their murder
now the whole world
is hurt including me
killing innocent people
does not solve anything
that boy killed
someones brother,sister,boyfriend,girlfriend
and for what?
these people are never
going to come back
but God will
make them angels at the
Golden Gates of Heaven

Someone here recommended the site. It does appear good, but their signup option has not worked after a week trying, and there are no contact addresses or help option.

Does anyone know if this site is full or something, or if it is a temporary problem?
