 Poetry

An outlet for players whose creativity extends beyond the board. Post your original works here!

The posting of song lyrics is not the purpose of this board and as such please refrain from doing so. Exceptions can be made to this rule if you are the copyrighted owner of the lyrics and the lyrics are not found offensive by the majority of the population.
This board is a place to post your original works of poetry and prose and also a place for discussion of poetry and related areas.

We have received word from Fencer that other's poetry can be posted to this board. These are the two conditions:
1) When someone posts a known copyrighted poem, he must add the author's name as well
2) If the author is not known, the poem can be posted without problems

Subject: Re:
Andromedical: Your second paragraph really nails it on the head, I think. The kind of rap you speak of is a social contribution, and has very valid things to say about society & the mixed culture we live in. America's white middle class is not the final arbiter of what is meaningful or valuable....and in fact, so often it remains willingly blind to the far-reaching world beyond its sheltered walls. The issue here is meaningful content, which the rap poems (songs) in question lacked. The ghetto reality is tragic & our society is to blame...and it ought to be trumpeted far & wide, in song, poetry & political commentary. Pointless & stereotypical poems do not do it justice, and in fact exacerbate purposefully & thus tend to alienate the very minds & hearts it needs to reach. It is not seeking for a solution. It is revelling in the problem.

I for one would appreciate seeing your poems.
