Here is a thread where I will be posting my poetry. Some of the poems that I will be posting here is stuff that I've compiled in the past, I will also be posting new poems when time abounds. My poetry will consist of Haikus, Tankas, and Nonets.
Feel free to critique my writing, as that would be greatly appreciated. However, simply saying that you like it or dislike it is not good enough. I'd like for you to post reasons as to why you like or dislike my poetry.
Not all my poems will have titles.
I'll start it off with a Nonet.
Joy and Sorrow Your liveliness brings me enjoyment Time with you is gratifying When I'm with you, I'm happy. Your smile makes me cheerful I am lighthearted. Without you here I'm depressed. I lose Strength.
I liked the Nonet. The only complaint is the rhythm. The meaning is really nice, but there isn't really a structure, a flow if you will. So for me it sort off feels like the ideas are jumping all over the place instead of following each other. I really did enjoy it though.
Titles are overrated. As a matter of fact, I don't think the nonet needed one either as the emotions and the way you distort the poem to sorrow is clear.
Also I dislike having more than 1 line for a single sentence.
@Pazx: I like having titles on some of the poems that I create, but on others I can't think of one. Yes, the emotions are clear. Eh, I saw it fit to not end the line with a full stop until I was done with that certain thought.
I'll also be using this thread for posting some drawings and stories that I might have. Anything related to art that I have on my mind, really.
Colors Some random colors I put together in Doodle.
I'm not very good at drawing things, but there's something I did when I was bored.
Maybe you could combine a few of your works into a larger poem.
If I did that then the poem wouldn't make any sense.
These are so short, and the titles deal with very broad topics.
Read the OP. I'll be posting Haikus, Tankas and Nonets. And the titles fit the poems.
I can't believe that this thread has almost 200 view but only two people have said anything about my poetry. I've started a thread like this on Kongregate and I've gotten better feedback.
I'll be posting more poems later tonight or tomorrow morning.
mine are the EXACT SAME FORM. They're just extended.
A Haiku is a Japanese lyric verse form having three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons.
Extended = Different form.
If you can't critique anything in here then stop posting, it's going off-topic.
Heya Matrix! I was wanting to critique a few of your poems, and since you asked....
I'm going to critique the last three poems you have all in one go, as they're all very similar. I found that they sound all the same. Of course, in a haiku, the syllables are all the same, which makes them similar to an extent. However, these poems seem to have the same flow. Maybe have more than two lines for an idea; a phrase. Also, some haikus should be read as if it was one sentence. This can help with the flow and make it easier to read.
However, these poems are very good as they are. They fit the theme of 'rupture' very well. Your vocabulary also adds to the flow. I like these.
