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

Emne: Poetry in Motion

Well poetry.com may be a scam, but I found a valuable tool on their site.

Every day they have a contest, but you can use it as a tool. There are a number of words, and you use some of them to write a poem. Since the poem is limited to only 20 pieces, it's a good way of learning to express a thought in only a few words.

When I discovered and tried it early this year, I had not written any poetry in 20+ years, and I thought that part of me was dead. But in looking at all of the words and trying to pull something meaningful out of it I discovered that that wasn't true after all.

Most of what you may get will be free verse.

(I'm tempted to share some examples of ones I've written. :) )
