' Live-Poets Society ' – A Corner For Poetry

[Mikiesboy]

I agree with your comments on the complexity of the second one. To reveal a bit the 'behind the scenes' action, our poet was a little unsure, but I reassure him the relationship between the quatrains and sestet was a fascinating one. I love that poem, and different people will get different things from it.  

Your poet is still not sure.. but I wont think about them for a while, maybe they'll grow on me

Guys, I wanna bring your attention to Skinny's poem: The Love with no Pattern.

Do you know who got the dinner?

No idea.. PM skinny, he'll tell you

.....modest smile...I did...

PS Tim...I agree completely with AC...your sonnets are indeed brilliant, and I thought so on first reading, and on the second, and on the third. Bravissimo.

Did you??? Oh cool!!!

Lol Parker.. brilliant is not a word to describe me.. but thanks.. hugs

Lol Parker.. brilliant is not a word to describe me.. but thanks.. hugs

And why not? Though, technically he said your sonnets were brilliant ... you ... meh. Of course you know I kid because I think you're awesome.

Excerpt from The Dilemma

by Oliver Wendell Holmes

 

 

I had a vision in my dreams –  

I saw a row of twenty beams;

From every beam a rope was hung,

In every rope a lover swung;

I asked the hue of every eye

That bade each luckless lover die;

Ten shadowy lips said, heavenly blue,

And ten accused the darker hue.

 

 

You can find the entire poem here.

Good Morning, all my fine GA poets. See Valkyrie's interesting thread here, if you have not already spied it.  

 

BTW, I'm going to post a new Poetry Prompt in a few mins.

So...for the Poem Per Day Challenge...I wil do my best, and try to post an accumulation of small contributions when I can.

 

APRIL 1

 

So I flirted and I fooled,

I read sonnets 'til I drooled,

then I shouted to the poet crowd: "I'm in!"

Though sometimes sounding phony 

(more doggerel than pony)

I would hope my verse makes everyone to grin.

 

Never mind my fingers black,

or the adjectives I lack,

My thesaurus or my dictionary thick;

Every day I'll try a verse

(or an ode - whichever's worse),

and perhaps this literary stuff will stick.

 

 

 

APRIL 2

 

Snow on bright flowers;

April's unkind foolery

repeated each spring

Nice... I'm gonna post mine weekly... both of yours are super, Parker!!

An irreverent offering for Sunday...

 

APRIL 3

 

A writer whose prose might be deathless

had a date with a poet most breathless;

after meeting at one

they had hours of fun,

and the novelist deathless was yeth-less.

[Mikiesboy]

This one is for prompt 11: Haiku

 

poodle curled on couch

defrosting in the spring sun

opens like crocus

 

 

 

I posted it on the forum too.

Okay, so I am doing Napowrimo and was looking for something new. I found the Renga. What's a Renga Poem?

 

I quote the site Young Writers UK:

 

Renga, means 'linked poem'. Poets worked in pairs or small groups, taking turns composing the alternating three-line and two-line stanzas.

 

What is the structure of a Renga Poem?

To create a Renga, one poet writes the first stanza, which is three lines long with a total of seventeen syllables – the same structure as a haiku. The next poet adds the second stanza, a couplet with seven syllables per line. The third stanza repeats the structure of the first (another haiku) and the fourth repeats the second, alternating in this pattern until the poem is completed.

 

So...Who wants to write a Renga Poem with me? Depending on how many of you participate, we can each write one or two stanzas until we feel the poem is complete. We can then either post only our stanza, or we can post the whole poem and let the readers guess who wrote which? So many possibilities...

 

I'm waiting for you until April sixth, six pm my time. (CEST)

Oh my god, Adi! Do I need more to do? Seems I do, sure I'll play! My opinion is we post the final poem in this forum, and individually highlighting our part (or is that too much). Really just in here is enough for me! But what does everyone think?

[Puppilull]

That sounds like fun! I think we should publish them together. Otherwise, you won't get the full effect.

Hehe ... oh is that a challenge???  I have real issues writing smut, lol.. I don't know why.

[Puppilull]

As is very evident by my writing, I have no such limitations... Not sure it's a good or bad thing.

As long as it's Haikus and Couplets...

 

Oh, and for those who actually do the whole Napowrimo: We could post the poem at our last entry on the 30th. What do you think?
