    Default Post Some Poetry You've Written

    I suppose somewhat poetic prose is also acceptable. To my knowledge a thread like this doesn't exist. Or at least, I couldn't find it via the Advanced Search

    I've been attempting to write haiku lately. Here's a handful:

    Glittering rainfall
    Light caught in a thousand drops
    Liquid sun comes down

    Old haunts are these
    Between the trees
    A big old buck is hiding here

    Bent beneath the world
    He stands under the mountain
    Atlas, the titan

    Glowing greenly white
    Signalling to go ahead
    Stoplight in the snow

    Icy spikes like teeth
    Hang from roofs and bite the ground
    Stalactites or mites?

    ~~~

    Now, you might notice that not all of them follow traditional haiku rules (5-7-5 拍 "haku" structure, seasonal word, and cutting word), but that is intentional. English haiku tend to be a little more flexible. Still, I attempted to follow the rules for a few of them.

    Here's one I wrote in both Japanese and English:

    三沢市や
    何だその音
    戦闘機

    Misawa-shi ya
    Nannda sono oto
    Sentouki

    Misawa City
    What is that deafening sound?
    Oh, a fighter jet

    For those of you not fans of haiku, here's some gothic fairy nonsense I wrote instead lol

    Take this bloom
    And with its power
    Mend the room
    In tallest tower
    Within's man's doom
    Though just a flower
    There it shall loom
    And all else cower

    ~~~

    Fog rolls in from far offshore
    Sweeping over Nindalore
    Clammy, thick, and fully dead
    Take thee care or stay in bed
    For in this mist do dark things lurk
    Rev’ling in foul shade and murk
    Hunt do they for lost or weary
    Souls to bend or break, so deary,
    Watch thy back and stand not idle
    Or else fall prey to shadows tidal

    ~~~

    I have one more to share, but I'm unsure as to whether I want to trim it down or not. Here's the full version:

    Night draws nigh
    To thee and I
    And shadows creep about the glade
    Would that we
    Had eyes to see
    The fae that light the darkest shade
    Dance we should
    And if we could
    We’d find deep threads that bind the world
    Man knows not
    What he can’t see
    And in this place may be eretold
    Of us t’night
    Still here despite
    The drawing darkness all about
    We are here
    Yet feel no fear
    Though elven sight we are without
    Moon flies high
    To middle sky
    So see we shall what happens here

    ...and here's what I'm thinking of chopping it down to

    Night draws nigh
    To thee and I
    And shadows creep about the glade
    Would that we
    Had eyes to see
    The fae that light the darkest shade
    Dance we should
    And if we could
    We’d find deep threads that bind the world
    Man knows not
    What he can’t see
    And in this place may be eretold
    Of us t’night
    Still here despite
    The drawing darkness all about

    If it is acceptable to deviate from the thread and publish non-poetic writings, I will be happy to publish translation of my old writings during the period of depression

    In the interest of this thread being pleasantly scrollable I think longer and/or non-poetic works are fine, but it may be better to spoiler them or add them as attachments rather than post them as-is

    I wrote this one a few nights ago.

    Here I sit in my comfy tomb
    Enjoying yet disturbed by my self-induced solitude
    And pondering what I would do
    If I were to escape my empty room
    But I find that inside my comfy tomb
    Can hold everything that I've ascribed in due
    To the arrow that makes its passage through
    And pains me greater when I try to move
    Though the signs are soon to show
    That it will stay
    That it will not grow
    So tonight I hear the knocking on my door
    "Come out, come out!"
    I did once but nevermore
    For when I flung myself open, the arrow scored.
    "And the wind took him away."

    I came at last to where foretold
    Two roads diverged in forest cold
    So there I stood, but for a while
    Until at last I found your smile
    I saw one path was growing dark
    And as we kissed there in the park
    This new adventure called to me
    And clearly then I came to see
    A traveler cannot go back
    No, not exactly, not in fact
    The roads all lead to other roads
    And I shall see where this one goes

    This piece wasn't intended to be poetic, but it came out that way. ^

    Not sure about its value i know nothing about the art technically.

    I seem to have a lyrical way or feeling about things where things resonate together in a deeper connective way.

    Every piece i write has Ni & Fe central to it.

    Maybe i'm fascinated by my bottom cognitive style.

    There was a siren, on the dark rocks lumped like black ink against the edge of the tide. Although the siren’s face was obstructed by shards of starlight, her scales glittered dark blue and indigo against moonlight, and her tail, gleaming and viperous, nestled comfortably against hard stone.
    Her voice hauntingly crooned over the frothing, boiling sea, haunting through space, infecting across time.

    Peacefully, soundlessly, this went on and on and on,
    until the quality of the mists surrounding her shifted ever so slightly.
    The air sharpened,
    her tune froze, curdled,
    and the shrieking wind developed an ear-ringing, deafening quality.

    Mounting and mounting, higher higher higher,
    until a deafeningly silent crack whipped across the sky:
    A world fractured and ruptured.



    Falling away like soft, soft sand...

    Sol Sol that's the name

    My game is a name for you

    You will get blue when y' know you feel

    Fight it all the more, reel from it, but it signifies true

    Ni blind i am, but my S eye ( Si) works it solid like a vampire in a moor

    The sun ever sets on this umpire.

    F & F and F for you.

    This is my humor and i'm being mischievous ribbing someone here.

    Subliminally we trek to our trails

    The sublime we picture is worth a thousand spoils or a thousand fails

    The wise know judgment and miss the pressing pales

    Having heart is the ticket to the telling of the tales

    It's was enjoyed in the shout box, so I put it in here archived.

    It was a response to F and T occupational motivations in science. Humanity being in the scope of one.

    The next light is a harbinger of the peace that lay in the fallows of time

    We dream forward at the next round in a pine

    Caring, in an intimation that is very refined

    an old poem that i am embarrassed about:

    they say it's only a sin
    to feel someone's palm
    squeeze your heart like fruit
    until blood flows and feeds
    you and him both.

    they say it's only a sin
    to be kissed passionately
    and his tongue in your mouth
    like a sentient serpent
    ready to release its venom
    .

    they say it's only a sin
    to be in love with somebody
    when you're unsure
    if you're going to
    come back.

    1 soul & 1 soul becomes one

    One never knows 1 any more

    One's an infinite horizon in a lore

    Love is more than 1, won in one

    Poetry is gay
    Real life is the way
    The grimdark brutal way
    Trump must troll your feelings
    In order for you to grow
    Like a flower growing in the crack of a sidewalk

    Play it by ear

    As all the sounds are here

    Control everything there

    And beware: the echo is here here and hear!

    One lives in fear, or you are dear

    I don't write poetry but I love reading it sometimes. It just hits hard. I like song lyrics for the same reason. How to say as much as you can with the minimal amount of words, and the right words.

    Play on words from Shout, a typology poem

    Ne is never in vein

    It's a whether vane

    Whether you like it or not

    Fair weather, stormy weather

    A tether of the past


    A mast in a storm

    Always an eye in the storm



    Black & white is a shallow divide, division is the color that multiplies

    Taking things at face value is good only for a spell

    To experience is simple, to explain is divine

    Hearts of stone are a dead giveaway: no movement
