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.

Wow. Did you really make those pictures by yourself?! It seems like plasma neon. Just awesome.

Now that I restarted my computer the pictures loaded.

Yeah, I used flame painter to make them. It's an awesome thing to use. Here you go.

When I had Firefox I often used one of those pictures as window background. Now I use Opera; the fastest of all.

Matrix, you have no reason to be so upset by no feedback at first.

I'm not a fan of haiku's, really. I enjoy free poems where you can do whatever you want, not having restrictions.

But your haikus made me want you to turn them into longer poems, which is a good thing

I remember that Tanka :P

Honestly, the only thing that would get me flying to your thread would be something that is free form... Or rhyme-y.

But hey. I will be keeping an eye on this.

Sorry if this wasn't your ideal feedback, but I'm no expert on anything like this stuff.

Except tankas (dhat)

Reason: Over 600 views on thread and only four people have said anything about the poems.

I suppose I could try to write something like that, but that'll be much later.

Nothing to be so hyped up about, take a look at Wolfs thread, or Tackys, or even mine. Thousands of views for each and not nearly as many replies as any of us want.

In relation to Derailment, once again, it spikes my curiousity and I would love it if you went into detail about it...

Read the definition for 'hyped'. I'm not 'hyped' about it, I'm curious to know why nobody posts anything about it. I'm not asking for people to write paragraphs about the poems. I'm simply asking to post something about it with reasoning. I like/dislike [insert poem here] because [insert legitimate reason here].
I would love it if you went into detail about it...

What do you mean by that? I wrote it based on trains. Don't really know how to go that far into detail about it. I usually get ideas on poetry through things that are in my mind. I watch a lot of movies, television shows, read a lot... so yeah, it was based on trains. A train that was on a course to somewhere, then it derails, then I came up with that poem. Don't really know what else you want me to say about it.

How long time did it take? For me it would be many hours...

How long time did it take?

It only took a few minutes. I restarted my computer, took about two minutes, then I came back on here.

Not sure why you would ask that question here. This isn't a thread to discuss those things, this thread is for me to post my writings and what ever art work that I might come up with. Please post your feedback on those instead of asking a question about my computer.

I asked you to go into detail, because I think that you could pull it off, and some people can't. Yeah your work is good, but there is only so much people can say about 3 lines. You can do better, going into detail about something, anything, and THEN will people be able to post more than [title here] was [good/bad] because [???].

Matrix, I have over 2,000 views on mine. I have posts from JohnGarell, Tacky, murasaki9, cowmaster1, dudeguy45, FloydTC, Masterforger, Krizaz, and CalvinDultrey. They averaged about 3-5 posts each. I'm still getting there and I'm sure you'll have no problem too! It would be nice if you took MoonFairy's advice though.

I'm sure people in the AMW are competent enough to interpret poems, so that's why I don't go into detail about them. I'm not sure what you want me to say about each poem that I write, I went into detail about one of them on the previous page since you asked, and it's not difficult to interpret the poems yourself. So go right ahead and give feedback on them if you can. I'm not sure why people won't post about the poems, it's not like I'm going to tear your head apart. Unless you're an idiot, then I would have to. But if you leave something with reasoning behind it then post whatever you want about the poems. I want to know where I can improve, I want to know how they are bad, how they are good, etc.

Yeah your work is good

No.

Oh um; I may asked right question on wrong place. I should have asked; "How long time did it take to make those pictures?"

Yeah your work is good

No.


What?! Why not?
