Wow. I started reading today from page 1 till now. You are all good. I'd join. But I can't write worth nothing. But I would be a great judge.
No... Intermediate. Note I focus strongly on metaphors and symbolism. Here's a sample poem and u can decide if I'm intermdediate or expert: I am a bird without wings drowning in an ocean an ocean of tears my own salty tears Why her? I am drowning! My own tears I cry out to you but my cry is unheard and you are holding her hand Help me please! My own tears I reach out a hand but she is more important now I sink lower lower lower my own tears my vision is going black but I see your face one last time a cruel mask of stone one I used to kiss I used to love but she is yours now O cruel world! My own tears, take me! A bird without wings and a broken heart. ~Shadowstream, 2010
I've got an idea! Should I make a seperate thread specifically for poems? It would be alot more organized!
I would say u are experienced shadow tho if ur uncomfortable w the format go with intermediate for the first competition.
Ive actually thought about setting up a pal room for poetry tag. Poetry tag is where one person tags someone in the room and gives them a topic. No prewrites are allowed and when the composer is finished he tags another person. Theres no ranking or rating and it gives u less time to write but ive been in chats like that before and it is fun and challenging
yawns Yawn yawn yawn, Oh how I feel like a pawn. Yawn yawn yawn, Look at the rain on my lawn. Workin all day, Just so I can play. Oh how I'm a pawn, Yawn yawn yawn The world around me, Rainy and wet, Oh how it surrounds me. Yawn yawn yawn Back against a wall, I can hear the devil call. He says to sleep, To fall down deep. I try to resist, But I'm only a pawn. Yawn yawn yawn -ALinkToDie (AKA ALinkToTheFuture)
Nice idea distance! That sounds like loads of fun! I had tons of creativity going for me today, and during school I wrote three poems!
