  1. Post count farming is making a thread where you can add the number of your posts in forums (the numbers in the side of your username in forums). Sometimes the more posts you have the more people may think that you are an experience person or something like that....
     
  2. Stay on topic or leave my thread.

    This thread is not about the definition of spam or post farming.

    Post a poem.
    Talk about poems.
    Or leave.
    It's simple.
     
  3. Ignorance can make this thread locked. Don't look at it as a simple thing, it's in the rules of kaw and you can't change it the way it was just because this is your own thread. Remember, this is your thread that was just posted in kaw's forums. bye then, I think I should go ahead than fighting with someone who would just ignore every word and repeating her rule as "simple".
     
  4. If this is Make a Good Thread Day, why is this thread here?
     
  5. For WillFerral's post on page 3
     
  6. Lmao. The ignoramus telling people to google how to make a haiku on wordwaster a thread is calling people ignorant.
     
  7. Thank you for the support. Lol 
     
  8. There are cemeteries that are lonely,
    graves full of bones that do not make a sound,
    the heart moving through a tunnel,
    in it darkness, darkness, darkness,
    like a shipwreck we die going into ourselves,
    as though we were drowning inside our hearts,
    as though we lived falling out of the skin into the soul.

    And there are corpses,
    feet made of cold and sticky clay,
    death is inside the bones,
    like a barking where there are no dogs,
    coming out from bells somewhere, from graves somewhere,
    growing in the damp air like tears of rain.

    Sometimes I see alone
    coffins under sail,
    embarking with the pale dead, with women that have dead hair,
    with bakers who are as white as angels,
    and pensive young girls married to notary publics,
    caskets sailing up the vertical river of the dead,
    the river of dark purple,
    moving upstream with sails filled out by the sound of death,
    filled by the sound of death which is silence.

    Death arrives among all that sound
    like a shoe with no foot in it, like a suit with no man in it,
    comes and knocks, using a ring with no stone in it, with no
    finger in it,
    comes and shouts with no mouth, with no tongue, with no
    throat.
    Nevertheless its steps can be heard
    and its clothing makes a hushed sound, like a tree.

    I'm not sure, I understand only a little, I can hardly see,
    but it seems to me that its singing has the color of damp violets,
    of violets that are at home in the earth,
    because the face of death is green,
    and the look death gives is green,
    with the penetrating dampness of a violet leaf
    and the somber color of embittered winter.

    But death also goes through the world dressed as a broom,
    lapping the floor, looking for dead bodies,
    death is inside the broom,
    the broom is the tongue of death looking for corpses,
    it is the needle of death looking for thread.

    Death is inside the folding cots:
    it spends its life sleeping on the slow mattresses,
    in the black blankets, and suddenly breathes out:
    it blows out a mournful sound that swells the sheets,
    and the beds go sailing toward a port
    where death is waiting, dressed like an admiral.
     
  9. You taught me some things as far as the hard and soft words go. And I love your poem. I love any poem that starts one way and changes by the end. I used to write a little bit of poetry but that is kind of personal. But anyway, nice job. :)
     
  10. Thanks Hun.

    Another example of hard and soft words is shh, hush, shush, shut up, and shut the hell up. Each word progressively grows harsher and gives a harsher tone in the text.

    It's about the sound that it gives off, and the meaning that each word holds.

    Shh or hush are words you would tell to a baby, or a younger child. Ages teen and up use harsher words, such as shut up, shut the hell up, and other variations of the cuss word.
     
  11. Bump with some amateur work

    I'm trapped.
    Trapped in a cage you can't see
    Bars only I can feel pressing in on me
    Taking my breath,
    Bleeding me of my life.
    I'm trapped.
    And the only key I can see,
    Is shaped like a blade.

    Or me, depending on if you're one of those who quotes to see the hidden text. Congrats! You caught me writing.
     
  12. I feel blade could be a different word. It doesn't match the scheme and I feel it sticks out.

    Though, the repition of the word trapped is good; in my eyes anyways.
     
  13. From childhood's hour I have not been
    As others were; I have not seen
    As others saw; I could not bring
    My passions from a common spring.
    From the same source I have not taken
    My sorrow; I could not awaken
    My heart to joy at the same tone;
    And all I loved, I loved alone.
    Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
    Of a most stormy life- was drawn
    From every depth of good and ill
    The mystery which binds me still:
    From the torrent, or the fountain,
    From the red cliff of the mountain,
    From the sun that round me rolled
    In its autumn tint of gold,
    From the lightning in the sky
    As it passed me flying by,
    From the thunder and the storm,
    And the cloud that took the form
    (When the rest of Heaven was blue)
    Of a demon in my view.

    ~By Edgar Ellen Poe

    I don't know why but this poem just got me. I found it in a book one day and I just loved it. Every line is just perfect for me.

    Once someone told me that he doesn't know why I like that poem. He said this poem is bad. Apart from the fact that I disagreed with him in that point I also asked my delve how to judge poetry. How the judge art in general but especially poetry. Is it even possible to judge poems. Are there good and are there bad poems. I don't think k that you can really judge a poem. In my opinion you can like a poem or you can dislike it. But I don't think that we can say that there is a bad or a good poem. Cause to do that we would have to be subjective. But that is just not good. When looking at poetry you have to be objective and if you are objective you can't judge something.

    So I got to the opinion that you can't judge poems but I would love to hear your guys opinion about that. :)

  14. I can really appropriate the tone of the poem. It has imagery, but it's not overly done. The rhyming great. I enjoyed the poem; and I am sure others must have as well. Thanks for sharing it. ️
     
  15. Apherium is red,
    Apherium is blue ,
    How much you spend ,
    Decides which is for you.




    Live, Laugh, Love, Led ✌️
     
  16. I agree Deni, but knife seemed like the wrong word to use. It was too... Trivial... For the meaning behind the writing.
    That's what I thought anyway.
    I'm definitely no pro writer, I could be wrong.
     
  17. How about instead of

    I'm trapped.
    Trapped in a cage you can't see
    Bars only I can feel pressing in on me
    Taking my breath,
    Bleeding me of my life.
    I'm trapped.
    And the only key I can see,
    Is shaped like a blade.


    It's

    I'm trapped.
    Trapped in a cage you can't see
    Bars only I can feel
    Pressing in on me
    Taking my breath,
    Bleeding cuts from your knife.
    I'm trapped.
    And the only key I can see,
    Is barely visible from life.


    Or something. Just messing around with line placements and such
     
  18. By changing the line placement though you change the whole meaning of the poem. I feel the original poem is about suicide being the only way out. When you change the placement of knife/blade it changes that to something else.
     
  19. Changing your knife to my knife should fix the suicide angle issues
     
  20. The Beast
    In my heart
    Has no love
    Has no fear
    I tears at my chest
    Trying to get out
    I fight it everyday
    Putting on a smile
    To show I'm fine
    But inside
    I'm being torn to shreds
    Pills will not work
    Nothing calms
    The beast
    Nothing kills
    The beast
