 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.

The staff room is a mistery whose door is always shut. Its not the sort of place for me Its where the teachers like to be 30. December 2004, 18:39:27 Emne: Re: Winnie: You have a gift! Wonderful...please keep writing  3. Januar 2005, 17:50:23 Emne: Part One He raced to the phone
It's rings calling his name Would it be her? The one he's been waiting for Hello,sir,would you like to participate in a survey? Free gift certificates for all who do Uh,no thanks,he whispered his heart thumping in his chest,as he hung up He checked his e-mail once again Still nothing Nothing Not a word The walls of his lonely apartment closing in on him as he crept to the couch and picked up the remote Infomercials,soap operas and news Click...Off Silence greeted him once more Silence and loneliness How long would it be this way How long til he found her Ding Dong...the door bell He races to the door Only to find a salesman He closes the door in his face Why oh why was he alone? Where was the life he'd dreamed of The happiness he craved The woman he loved....... 6. Januar 2005, 23:04:22 Emne: This ones for Winnie One bright day in the middle of the night..
Two dead boys got up to fight.. Back to back they faced each other.. Drew their swords and shot each other.. A deaf policeman heard the noise.. Came and shot the two dead boys.. If you do not believe this lie is true.. Ask the blind man,he saw it too! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thats called "The Backwards Rhyme" I read it when I was a kid & memorized it after all these years..   7. Januar 2005, 17:55:09 Emne: Re: Mindy: That is so kool you remembered that!! I havent heard it in years but I too had memorized it from about 30+ years ago!!
I used to love reciting it to people! 11. Januar 2005, 08:47:36 Not Elysium
Is this Elysium? Am I abstruse? Maybe the world is dichotomous? No where am I welcomed Order fighting dis-order for dominance May the stoic gain a soul Aberrant is what I am labeled Did he expect this is what I ask? 11. Januar 2005, 15:55:00 Emne: Für eine Sumpfdotterblume ... 0:) *
* I know you're magical, Honest, maybe rastered (sometimes) Let the whole of Babylon uprise to sample Drifting past with their master And his unknown plan (but) If you know it's out there (And for you) Have the nerve to take it home. ~*~ Daniel 11.01.2005 13. Januar 2005, 19:41:20 Cold Reality
Hate is Love in a way only friends show, Cold stares linger in the walls of deception, A broken soul to wither to dark skies The reality seeping through my mind, Clashing hearts, Yet one of a kind. Crucified words To the point that nothing Means something. 18. Januar 2005, 03:35:12 Emne: Re: Für eine Sumpfdotterblume ... 0:) danoschek: bravo z;)
And now -- the shortest poem in the world.... Aherm.. Why ? Thank you, thank you  18. Januar 2005, 16:03:34 Emne: The Riddle of the World The Riddle of the World
Know then thyself, presume not God to scan The proper study of Mankind is Man. Placed on this isthmus of a middle state, A Being darkly wise, and rudely great: With too much knowledge for the Sceptic side, With too much weakness for the Stoic's pride, He hangs between; in doubt to act, or rest; In doubt to deem himself a God, or Beast; In doubt his mind and body to prefer; Born but to die, and reas'ning but to err; Whether he thinks to little, or too much; Chaos of Thought and Passion, all confus'd; Still by himself, abus'd or disabus'd; Created half to rise and half to fall; Great Lord of all things, yet a prey to all, Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurl'd; The glory, jest and riddle of the world. -- Alexander Pope 19. Januar 2005, 01:26:55 Emne: A Question... Isn't posting poetry, that wasn't written by the person who posted it, a violation of copyright law ? 19. Januar 2005, 01:48:00 Emne: Re: A Question... EIHN: I'm not a lawyer but I think anything that is in print is subject to being copied. As long as it doesn't benefit the copier (ie: financially) it's probably not an issue.
If anyone has anything to add,I'd appreciate any constructive input. 19. Januar 2005, 03:14:14 Emne: Re: A Question... Stardust:
The following is the portion of the U.S. Copyright Office - 'Fair Use' page, that pertains to posting lyrics on discussion boards. This is the law, still in effect: : The 1961 Report of the Register of Copyrights on the General Revision of the U.S. Copyright Law cites examples of activities that courts have regarded as fair use: "quotation of excerpts in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment; quotation of short passages in a scholarly or technical work, for illustration or clarification of the author's observations; use in a parody of some of the content of the work parodied; summary of an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report; reproduction by a library of a portion of a work to replace part of a damaged copy; reproduction by a teacher or student of a small part of a work to illustrate a lesson; reproduction of a work in legislative or judicial proceedings or reports; incidental and fortuitous reproduction, in a newsreel or broadcast, of a work located in the scene of an event being reported." 19. Januar 2005, 03:27:17 Emne: Re: A Question... EIHN: Thank you for that but it doesn't really affect this board. The reason for the rule on the Music Board is Fencer doesn't want lyrics posted as it will take up too much space (that's my understanding)
Poems by any author are permitted on this board as long as they include the author's name :-) 19. Januar 2005, 03:46:53 Emne: Re: A Question... Stardust: Excuse me, but the rule for Poetry is the same as for Lyrics. All Poems and Lyrics are subject to copyright law. However, if you look at that post regarding the law, you will see that under 'Fair Use', it is permissable to post ANY Lyrics or Poems, unless you are making money from it, or being derogatory towards the copyright owner.
As for the length issue. This board runs up against the same problem of 'flooding'. So, I don't think everyone should post giant novels of material, as it uses up everyone else's space. The real point here is there shouldn't be hypocracy in the Music Board if people are allowed to post copyrighted poetry on this board. What do you think ? 19. Januar 2005, 03:50:34 Emne: Re: A Question... EIHN: The copyright rules may be the same (allowance of material) But the SITE RULE is different. There was a problem with people posting long lyrics on the music board so Fencer stopped it as it was too much. That hasn't been a problem here. 19. Januar 2005, 03:52:35 Emne: Re: A Question... Stardust: Special dispensation ? 19. Januar 2005, 03:58:00 Emne: Re: A Question... EIHN: please clarify 19. Januar 2005, 03:59:10  EIHN - look at the top of the music board and there is a rule not to post lyrics. Look at the top of this board, no rule about not posting poems. Different boards, different rules. You can't take the rules of "talk about backgammon" from the backgammon board and apply them to the chess board. 19. Januar 2005, 04:00:41 Emne: Re: A Question... Stardust: Issue is, is the Poetry board exempt from the same copyright law that effects the Music board? Just curious... 19. Januar 2005, 04:03:12 Emne: Re: A Question... EIHN: The copyright law isn't the issue nor is it the rule.Like BBW said...different boards/different rules. Period. End of discussion. I suggest if you don't agree with the rules of any board you take it up with Fencer. We as moderators don't make the rules. We abide by them and enforce them when necessary. 19. Januar 2005, 04:06:19 Emne: Re: A Question... Stardust: Fencer was worried about the copyright law. That is why he made that rule.
But I think the rule should apply to ALL boards, don't you? 19. Januar 2005, 04:09:43 Emne: Re: A Question... EIHN: That is something you'll have to ask Fencer. As of right now it isn't an issue for this board. I would like to get this board back to it's purpose...Poetry. Any more discussion on this subject can be carried out on the Brainking.com board or Feature Requests. Any ome posts not related to poetry will result in the posts being deleted and the poster hidden. 19. Januar 2005, 04:11:36 Emne: Re: A Question... Stardust: That's okay. Just be on the lookout for the F.B.I.  19. Januar 2005, 04:26:01 Emne: Re: One of my song-poems... EIHN: very nice 19. Januar 2005, 04:33:12 Emne: Re: One of my song-poems... EIHN:  19.

After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand an chaining a soul. And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't always mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contrtacts and presents aren't promises. And you begin to accept your defeats with your head held up and your eyes ahead with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul insteadof waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure that you really are strong and you really do have worth And you learn and you learn with every goodbye you learn. . . 27.

and it is a very touching poem. Thank you for sharing 27. Januar 2005, 03:39:11 Emne: Yes.. very touching I do agree!   27. Januar 2005, 05:23:59 Emne: Re: I forgot who wrote this but I like it Stardust: Well alternate title is just as good as original if stated by the author! And yes you are correct it was Veronica Shoffstall (so google says LOL)!
You are most welcome for the share! 27. Januar 2005, 13:34:53 Emne: Re: I forgot who wrote this but I like it Partica: Yes,it is! 27. Januar 2005, 14:53:28 Emne: Erm.........

Run wild and free.. the warm summer breeze.. Take all of me now.. then leave with a bow!!.. The sudden life forces.. they tremble within.. Urges of desire.. Known only as Sin.. Capture the essence.. Of romance yet young.. give to me my pentance.. and take of me my tongue.. For desires deep inside.. lure to me your call.. Awaken passions fury.. til then.. when it's Fall..
