Greetings all,

I joined the literotica "multi-verse" on a whim the other eve. It has been rather ammusing and some what rewarding. Any how I thought i would just post hello here as having browsed a few threads I noticed there are some really talented people writing here. I dont submit/share my writings often if ever as I have this lurking suspicion i suck .

How ever I do have a deep love of poetry and the written word, So it seems lightly I will come to really enjoy this forum and some of the people using it. As I'm often hugely under read and some what over opioniated it should if nothing else be a chuckle.

Any way thanks in advance,

May no talent go unturned and no rock go unused.

Welcome to the Poetry Forum, DD.

Hang around, browse, comment, have fun. Pretty soon you'll be entering our challenges and finding out you do have talent. Your soul will be ours, then.

Anyone quoting Nietzsche and Nick Cave in their signatures is A-OK in my book.

Well thank you Lauren,

Leonard cohen fan too?

As I always say you can take my soul but can never own my lunch money. ....err

any how, thanks

Hello Deep
May I call you Deep?
You suspect that you suck? Well, I simply must see your poetry. It's always the poets who think they suck that turn out to be the great writers.

You may call me anything but late for dinner,
~sighs im so cliched at times~.
Deep is perfect, btw

I dont know if I have anything half decent on my pc. Or at all but if you dont mind a Pm I'll send something.

The one up side of having low confidence with regard to any form of art is that the way people respond ceases to be such an issue. Can't be all that much worse than that chewing over you gave yourself for it Lol.

I write reasonably well in the journalistic or even short story sence and have a reasonable command of what is actually my second written language. Not that I got awful far schoolastically any how ~l~.

I just find poetry to be such explosive force I find it hard to mould something I'm content with at the end. Secondly I'm hugely under studied and have next to no idea how a poem is "meant" to work.

I'll send something if you like, but take no responsible and waiver all liablity for small cracks in monitors or any hemorageing .

Thanks you are infact to kind

Hi and welcome

O Deep one.

Post or not but please be welcome; this is a very active forum with something for everyone, lol. At least. And you'll find plenty of Leonard Cohen fans here. His famous blue raincoat shows up in our poems with such frequency, I think he must be lurking.

Ok, which one of you poets is really Leonard Cohen? (I think darkmaas). I know it's not eagleyez cause he's secretly Neil Young. Or Bob Dylan. Or Neil Dylan. Bob Young. Something. It's late in Philly, Deep. But nice to meet you. I bet your poems don't suck, either.

peace and goodnight,
Angeline

Well thank you Lauren,

Leonard cohen fan too?

Isn't everyone?

 

[Angeline]

Isn't everyone?

i spoke with darkmaas earlier today and he denies he's leonard cohen, but i think he's lying...

I am Suzanne's husband Armand. When do we tear the polka dots off?

Indeed I do believe im going to enjoy my self here, Musically areodite, Literate and talented people. who aren't ponceing around like the unapreciated geniuses of the centuary~L~.
eeerr, does it show this isn't the first forum I have tried.

Wicked eve was kind enough to point out to me last night how little I understand about poetry, something i'm very greatful for.
So today I got a book out the libary "idiots guide to poetry" I find the title reassureing .

I'm a muzo at heart so it may mean that there will be sporadic sprees of post,s pertaining to lyrics and such but if you guys are happy to help me knock the odd bit of drivel into something resembeling a poem. I'm pretty amped to learn.
I mean were else can you share a message board with some one who keeps cohen in there basement "only logical answer?".

I dont write,
Geez i can't even spell,
ocassionally I ponder in text.
Should be fun

where are the tea and oranges?



Hi, welcome Deep, I am Anna.
I agree with Eve, if you think your work sucks
most likely it is good.

Feel free to post, but a word to the wise
don't post 25 poems on one day.
Especially not on a Monday.
Jim will pull a muscle trying to read them all.

Come on in the waters fine

Seriously though i doubt I will be overly prolific.
Thanks for the welcome

oh JEEZ if you can write 25 a day then please post all of them, I just was playing around and meant the 25 you wrote over the past 3 years

going out on a limb

Well I got the bug, So to speak I read about a quarter of my idiots guide and sat down to beat one of my older poems changed it around changed its soul. That was easy to do it was an old poem and conflicted in itself any way "shrugs" fun too.
Perhaps now it resembles, yup you guessed it a poem.
It's a lot to absorb this really writing poetry business, So I’m trying to merge it slowly with my current "style" of writing. If I get too cerebral in my attempts to adhere to so many new "rules". I will actually kill the process for me. As I haven’t as yet set out to write the perfect anything I hope slowly incorporating a methodology over time will serve me well.

What I'm looking for here is a crit from any one with the time or desire. I can spend a lot of time researching online and reading books and trying to hammer out a poem its going to end up sterile though. I of course still intend to continue researching and studying.
I just have a suspicion I’m going to get a lot out having things pointed out. Wicked eve was kind enough to point out a few "faults" and It’s changed my simple little world. So this could be exciting ~L~.

Thanks in advance,

Soon to be moved to a more logical position like a new thread, Sometimes i'm a tad slow on the up take silly place to leave a new thread at the bottom of a dead one.
