 PoetryAn 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 Du har ikke rettigheder til at skrive meddelelser til dette bord, Mindste medlemsskabsniveau nødvendigt for at skrive til dette bord er BrainBonde.

A solution! Create a new fellowship called Poetry Challenge Those that wish to enter the challange can join and submit their entry / entries. There is nothing to stop them also posting on the general Poetry Board for all to see. That way those that would be reluctant to post on the main board because they don't like the challenge idea will be able to continue to do so, and those that want their poems 'judged' (for lack of a better word) can Join and Submit on the Fellowship Board?? Hows that sound? 22. August 2003, 20:07:33 Emne: Re: A solution, maybe?...........  Very excellent. If ever there would be a motivation for poetic pawns to upgrade that would be it!! 22. August 2003, 22:51:02 Emne: Fine Literature for the ages. There was a young man from Dundee
who liked to sit down and eat fish but he never ate fish that were orange Because he didn't have any shoes. The lady came down from her pedestal just long enough to drink coffee but when she got back on top of it she spilled some sugar on her foot. Both of the above writings are what is know as "free form" and is very high class poetry. I should know because I composed them. So There!! 22. August 2003, 22:54:11 Emne: Very Basic Poetry Of all the fishes in the sea
I'd rather be a bass, I'd swim up on a slimey rock, and slide donw on my hands and knees. 22. August 2003, 22:55:47 Emne: Re: Very Basic Poetry But,,,if you were a Bass,,,you would not have any hands & knees...lol 22. August 2003, 23:02:09 Emne: Re: Very Basic Poetry Who asked you, nobody likes a smart aleck.. ..
These are walking catfiah found in the mountains of Kansas. 22. August 2003, 23:07:09 Emne: Tribute to a Fine Checker Player There was an old guy called The Chief
Who's checker playing bordered on sin But when it reached disbelief He sat back a gulped down his gin. 22. August 2003, 23:12:37 Emne: Re: Tribute to a Fine Checker Player Old guy? I represent that remark. 22. August 2003, 23:39:51 Poetry Challenge sounds wonderful.....and the judging who .... well the ones choosen should be ones that can and know about it....and also, like Bumble says.....know all the languages as possible... and I for one........if you pick one ...Bumble you know so many languages and lyrics, songs, words, tunes, notes, etiquette in many things, and you teach.....and I am sure there are others I do not know yet, that are qualified....but if I would enter one, sounds like those of you that are willing to do this...well, I would not mind to be judged by all of you....You all have to make the decisions..I just think it is a wonderful and exciting decisions .... like none of you have anything to do ...lolololololololol.........just tiny input from granny wombat in way back country:) For myself I say go for it....maybe someone would find their words from within strike volumes of feelings...and go far.... Go for it!!!!!!
Hurray!! Hurray!! 22. August 2003, 23:43:00 Emne: Re: Tribute to a Fine Checker Player Old Person????? 23. August 2003, 01:17:17 Emne: Re: A solution, DEFINITELY!........... Let's do it, Aragon! Brilliant idea if ever there was one. Poetry Challenge it is. I'd be pleased if you'd consider making yourself Big Boss in the new club, which I hope to see appearing shortly. If not you, then perhaps harley or one of our other fine contributors. At any rate some of them can be club managers! I'm greatly looking forward to this & together we can get this thing rolling. :o) 23. August 2003, 01:20:08 Thats great.....I want to join...:) of course! 23. August 2003, 01:21:26 Emne: Re: Miss Tat..I said I REPRESENT that remark (not resent) It's an old joke I heard Milton Berle use a few times. Ask your Granpa who Milton Berle was. I admit it wasn't very funny. :o) 23. August 2003, 01:30:35 It was funny Chief....She's just a wee babe, & did not understand the reference... :)
(Not an insult Tat) 23. August 2003, 01:31:11 Emne: Another Great Poet THE SECOND COMING
by William Butler Yeats Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of i{Spiritus Mundi} Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again; but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at laSt, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born? 23. August 2003, 01:35:40 wow,,makes you stop and think doesn't it... 23. August 2003, 01:42:13 Emne: Re: Oh yes. Love the way he paints the horrifying picture with even darker, unguessed-at horrors to come.... 23. August 2003, 04:22:58 Emne: To My Friend Danoschek POETRY IS COMPETITION
by yours truly Poetry is competition! brutal War & holy Mission 'Gainst the Evil opposition that around our Fortress lies Armed with pen we force the Battle, poised upon the Charger's saddle Swords & pikes & shields we rattle! to the Stars we lift our cries Till the Vault of Heaven answers, till we conquer Tears & Sighs Bow not beneath this dreadful Fate! why turn the cheek? why bar the Gate? Why cower in this mortal State and die with false Tranquility? If we must fall, let's fall like Men! and curse the gods for letting in This wretched Death, this Timeless Sin, which robs us of our Dignity To arms, I say, against this Doom which presses Irrevocably So cry for Joy against all Odds, and scream in Rage against the gods For Love! for Strength! for Victory! for blessed Immortality For Life so Sacred, yes I say! and Death's a bitter Price to pay For giving sport to gods at Play who gaze with Scorn on Me & Thee They gaze with Malice & with Spite on mighty Souls who would be Free 23. August 2003, 04:32:13 Emne: Re: To My Friend Danoschek Very Good Usurper KM ! 23. August 2003, 04:33:28 Poetry Challange has been forged. All those with talent are now free to enter, and ofcourse those with none!! LOL
Usurper - You are a partner in this LOL 23. August 2003, 04:33:43 Emne: Re: To My Friend Danoschek grrrrrrrr ... :P ... ~*~
PS: and nobody remind me now of the minnesingers please :) 23. August 2003, 04:44:00 Emne: Re: To My Friend Danoschek lol. :o) 23. August 2003, 05:11:29 Emne: Poetry Challenge! Fellowship... ...is open for Business!
Just a reminder to apply for membership for all who wish. Aragon KM is our worthy Big Boss and we're excited about the possibilities. Just go to the fellowship and follow the directions. You want in, you got it! Message me (or Aragon) with any questions. :o) 23. August 2003, 07:20:44 Darren I would like for you to meet one of my very good friends...Phil (Bumble) I knew you would like to meet him so I try this way....I am Granny wombat and He is the reason why :):) He indeed is something else....in all ways :)..
Bumble this is Darren from Ireland...(AragonKM) I believe he has heard wonderful things about you and I wanted to introduce you to him....visa vera... He said he could picture me granny lololol...now you have to tell him about me sewing right lololol and rocking :):) 23. August 2003, 14:07:40 Emne: Re: To My Friend Danoschek Thank you Wanda. Your daughter's poems are like you: the Best. :o) 23. August 2003, 14:11:25 Emne: Profound Truth: Why Men Do Poetry Time for a little lesson in philosophy. In order of importance, men do poetry:
1. To get laid. 2. Because it is not feasable or physically possible to get laid 24/7. 3. As a substitute for getting laid while waiting to get laid. Thus poetry, which brings such an essential joy & happiness to all, will endure just so long as women give in. You see both your high calling & your duty, fair Ladies! :o) 23. August 2003, 15:09:17 Emne: Re: Profound Truth: Why Men Do Poetry P.S. The post below was, uh, a feeble attempt at humor. Wretched I know. Surely there must be a hole around here somewhere I can hide in. 23. August 2003, 15:13:19 I was just waiting any response from the ladies!! LOL 23. August 2003, 15:14:40  Well I think its hilarious!! LOL, and SOOOO true!!! Ha ha!! 23. August 2003, 15:17:23 Dare I say it? Thats the only reason I started reading it!! Although, then realised it was good in its own merit LMAO 23. August 2003, 15:47:02 Emne: Lullabye This is from a band called James, they all share credit so I can't say for sure who actually wrote this:
Lullaby Since your mother cast her spell Every kiss has left a bruise You’ve been raiding too much meaning from existence Now your head is used and sore And the forecast is for more Memories falling, like falling rain Falling rain Every view they hold on you’s A piano, out of tune You’re an angel You’re a demon You’re just human Now your world has turned to trash Broken windows on the past Take that child and teach him senseless Damage the dream, damage the dream I feel nothing, I feel nothing at all I feel nothing at all In this gloomy, haunted place All the feelings are of shame All the windows have been broken by the children So the wind screams up the stairs Slams the doors and rattles chairs I wish we weren’t conceived in violence Damage the dream, damage the dream The magic is broken The house is in ruins Your memory’s one-sided The side that you’re choosing feels nothing Feels nothing at all We feel nothing at all 23. August 2003, 15:56:40 Emne: Re: Lullabye These lyrics are poetry. What's more, first class stuff! Thanks for sharing, David. This poem is applicable to modern existence in so many ways. 23. August 2003, 15:58:00 Emne: For all the kids about to start back at school... First Day at School
A millionbillionwillion miles from home Waiting for the bell to go. (To go where?) Why are they all so big, other children? So noisy? So much at home they Must have been born in uniform Lived all their lives in playgrounds Spent the years inventing games That don't let me in. Games That are rough, that swallow you up. And the railings. All around, the railings. Are they to keep out wolves and monsters? Things that carry off and eat children? Things you don't take sweets from? Perhaps they're to stop us getting out Running away from the lessins. Lessin. What does a lessin look like? Sounds small and slimy. They keep them in the glassrooms. Whole rooms made out of glass. Imagine. I wish I could remember my name Mummy said it would come in useful. Like wellies. When there's puddles. Yellowwellies. I wish she was here. I think my name is sewn on somewhere Perhaps the teacher will read it for me. Tea-cher. The one who makes the tea. Roger McGough 23. August 2003, 16:01:40 Emne: Re: For all the kids about to start back at school... LOL!!! Great harley! Right inside the child's mind we go. I'm still laughing at the last line, hit my funny bone. lol. :o) 23. August 2003, 16:25:54 Emne: If there were a Judging Panel.... I'd like to see the following people on it (in no particular order of merit):
1. harley 2. Aragon KM 3. danoschek 4. bumble 5. CurrentRiver KM 6. emattie1943 7. GrassHopperSD All of these people seem highly-qualified to judge poetry and are also frequent contributors to the Poetry DB. Some have expressed a dislike for pitting poems against each other and their arguments are strong and well-respected. But surely they still like some poems better than others and I think they are highly-qualified. This seems like a great starting list anyway. I'd post this on the Poetry Challenge DB but a lot of you have yet to come aboard (Hint!) :o) 23. August 2003, 16:33:24 You too are just as well qualified, and as frequent at posting Great poetry. 23. August 2003, 16:39:45 How about if everyone judges? I think it was cubs who came up with a good judging idea a while ago... everyone sends their vote to a selected person who adds the votes up and posts the results. 23. August 2003, 16:42:04 Obviously there would have to be some rules... one vote per person etc. And all entries should make it clear that they ARE entries, and must be in by a certain date to be considered for votes... nobody should vote until all entries are in etc etc.
Or, you could have a points system, each person can award points for each poem, and one person adds up all the points per poem. Then people can judge each poem! 23. August 2003, 16:42:20 Now that sounds like an idea?? Then we get a full spectrum of judging. 23. August 2003, 16:46:03 Emne: Re: You're right on harley! I thus appoint you the official vote-gatherer and point-counter. LOL (I like that idea about a points system) :o) 23. August 2003, 16:49:36 Emne: Re: If there were a Judging Panel.... thank you - but sorry again, without incompatible me ...
I would accept only female judges myself anyway ... ~*~ 23. August 2003, 16:50:07 And I second that Usurper LOL
Thank You Harley!! 23. August 2003, 17:13:04 LOL, I'd be happy to add the points up if everyone is happy with that.
Personally I like the idea of being able to award points to each poem. Also this way people will be more honest with their points because its anonymous - only results would be made public... unless there was a querie on any votes. Maybe 2 people gathering the points would be a better idea? Then people could choose who to send their votes (points) to? 23. August 2003, 17:18:14 Emne: Re: Yes but we'd have to screen for sneaky double-voters. lol. << < 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 > >> |
