Forums → Art, Music, and Writing → AG Poetry Exchange

Or we could create our own threads for poetry and get critic from others there, a bit like what we're already doing? This thread basically just sums up the whole AMW forum, so it doesn't really have a point..

That's basically how things have been for a long time. One would either post in the poetry contests or create their own poetry stock thread and post anything they created inside. The amount of activity would dictate whether the thread stayed afloat in the 1st or second page or be buried in the abyss.

The title led me to believe that there would be some sort of trading involved, which I thought was a great idea. Kind of like the first line poetry, but instead of a first line, the person requests a topic/style from the next person.

...so do we make poems now? XD

Well, I think you have a good purpose. Some people might now want to make threads for one poem, or make their own threads because they don't write much.

But if you want this to take off, you'll probably need to start some. I kinda hope it lasts for a while, but I doubt it will :<

However, we could always do what aknerd thought, and we could change the title.

...so do we make poems now? XD

Now, some one write me a limerick.

Hmmmmm....
I see what you guys are saying. Perhaps it would be better to make it kind of like the First Line Poetry thing like you guys are suggesting? I do like that idea and its my fault for forgetting about all the great writers who have their own threads dedicated to their works.
I had fun with the first line poetry thread, but the flaws of it was that someone would make the line for you be ' Poopy butthole' or something like that, making it hard to write an actual piece of literature that you can be proud of with something so immature.
So we could always keep this thread, but we could also make an AGPoetry Exchange 2.0 that's like aknerd suggested, where its similar to First Line Poetry, unless you would give a topic. ( and we could have rules, like no immaturity)
Do you guys like that idea?

I have a thread called jkl3848's Poem Place. Check it out if you want.

The Moose
The moose walked onto the road,
The car rumbled towards it.
âOh, no. Not again.â The car thought.
There was a screech a scramble, a thud.
The moose ran away, uninjured this time.
But the moose must be cautious if he want to survive.

The limmerick has a set style
you can hit every once in a while.
If you concentrate hard,
you may yet be a bard,
or at least someone showing their guile.

Poem of a Poem
I like writing poems.
I thinks it's fun.
You can fill them with rhymes,
and maybe some puns.
You can write all day.
Writing through the night.
Some poems are scary.
They can give you a fright.
Poems don't have to make,
a whole lot of sense.
My mom just gave me,
five dollars and ten cents.
We are coming to the end,
of this very fun poem.
My hair is messy,
I need a comb.

Somewhere in the world of pixels...
There is a standing warrior.
Alone and in love with bavaria,
He shall stand swords and pistols.

Fighting for vengeance,
Dieing for love.
Stuck with a brain full of brilliance.
Asking for mercy from above.

With a burning hate from the inside,
Empty is the feeling of his life.
Holding right now a knife...
With all his power he fought and cried.
Eventually our hero... died.

The rhymes are:
A-B-B-A
A-B-A-B
A-B-B-A-A

I'm not very good at this, however I tried

He shall stand with swords and pistols***!
