Poetry, anyone?

[incineradma]

I write a lot, mostly lyrics, some poetry. If anyone here also likes to write, even a short passage of prose, you should post it here I'm very appreciative of others' work, and I hope to find the same. And even if you don't like it I'm still going to turn it into a song (with guitar and drums and all that, maybe piano). Oh well, we'll see. This is about 6 months old, when I lost my apartment and my car and I basically had to wander the streets with my boyfriend in order to spend time with him (and now I am finally moving out of state with him, yay! anyone from KY?)


"something sliver"

forgetting again
forgetting the patience I have to engage in
these days pass like nights
and I'll tell ya
they don't pass like yesterday, no
they don't pass like yesterday

so sorrowful
hiding a blank face
underneath a tearful mask
of what-haves-you-haven'ts
and when were you weren't?

There's nothing like a box of chocs
Or rather, a missing I love you
Underneath that same blank stare
I miss it
I'll miss it again
And again I'll miss it..

So I miss you, and that's got to be just about the truth
As far as I'm concerned
And not too far I've got a million reasons why
lined up for you to try
And I won't forget a single one of them.
No, I won't forget what I forgot
Can't take those too far anymore anyhow

And No Thing resumes,
a hardcore play-off game between
everything and nothing
the streets and my song
gone too far,
and gone too long.

That was good....

I'm getting ready to put some of my short stuff on a blog.....if I can figure out how...

And I'm not going to do the old "there once was a lady from Nantucket..." limerick here - that would be debasing for you.

I do remember most of a couple of poems I wrote in high school, maybe I'll start with those.

Perhaps, if there are a lot of writers out here in the forum, we should form our own social group around that...

You're right, that would be cool to have a group! Maybe we could expand it to artists because there may not be many writers..

Anyone who would like to have such a group should post here so we know how many of us there are =)
