Why does no one talk about generals here? Just sayin'.

Didn't make it as a poem, so I put music to it and voila! they became lyrics. :cool: If you admire the dream, don’t awaken the sleeper; Or desire the mystery, don’t dissect its keeper. That which makes beauty divine and madly adored Infatuates greed in those seeking to be its lord; Depleting...

I'm guilty of doing what I'm about to describe: reading someone's post, being moved by how articulate it was or how heartfelt it seemed, then in an attempt to express that, reply with a bunch of platitudes that really only serve as a soapbox of my thoughts to make me feel better; despite my...

Hello again, people. Back again with another fixed verse poem; this one in terza rima form. I won't bother explaining it, just enjoy. He lights the fuse stampeding through the blood Whose rowdy, crimson steeds stir up a bolt That aims to strike the heart's evolving bud. When true...

I didn't really know where to post this, so I placed it here. I've been at this site for two-going-on-three weeks and this forum hasn't really helped me any. To be fair, I'm not sure that it ever could have; plus it's only been three weeks. But for me, reading people's posts are like watching...

Hello, all! Here's a triad of fixed verse stanzas called triolets. The form requires particular sentences be repeated to offer alternate perspectives of the same phrase/idea. I didn't quite accomplish that with this but it was my first attempt. For any interested, look it up and give it a...

Hello, all! I've been here about a week, read a lot of posts, met several people and I thought maybe it would be helpful if people rated themself on a loneliness scale. I'm sorry if this sounds offensive to anyone. It's not intended to put one person above another, or to praise and celebrate...

Hello, all! So I love, love, love poetry. Fixed verse poetry. As is the reason for the Iambic in my name. No, it doesn't mean as some have thought I-am-bi, lol. Iambic meter. One style of fixed verse I really love are French ballades. Look up the form if you're interested in that kinda...

Hello, all. I just recently joined and have been reading a lot of the posts here. Lots of different people with many different experiences. I thought I'd share mine to hopefully give kindship to those like me, or offer something for those seeking perspective on their own loneliness...

Hi, everyone. I just discovered this place. It looks great. Though I look forward to reading every post on here (just what I needed, yet ANOTHER thing to spend hours glued to, ha) I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a 35 year old introvert with boy parts looking to meet new people. I like...
