don't be such a philistine
For any aspiring poets, or artists in general, I suggest reading "Letters to a Young Poet" by Rilke....it is truly great.
And if any of you like poetry but are through with such classics as Frost and Yates, try Pablo Neruda or Octavio Paz. If you're not much of a poet and want to give that special someone a great love poem try Neruda.
Congratulations, KingZoolerius66. I hope these bits of craporific poetry below show you that much more pathetic lives than your own continue to exist, if only to show that at least they haven't given up:
Code:I've heard about Death
I read about it in Shakespeare's MacBeth.
If you want to commit suicide
Then you've just given the game to the other side.
Some say that to make a crappy rhyme
Ought to be made into a new sort of crime.
--
Soon your life will flash before you
Your friends, your family
They all seem to miss you
Want you to be happy
Sometimes life is sad
You want to shout and whine
You think everyone's bad
Then you think how everything can be made fine
Now you want a new chance
It's easy to do
Launch yourself, like a lance
And love everything about you
Yes.Quote:

I got that from another website, where I get most of them. I make some, though.Quote:

Are you guys angry at me or do you truly think I am a crappy poet?
personally, i think it blew.
All you did was use couplets, and the content was such mainstream woe is me crap. I didn't have any truly astounding phrases in it, no imagery, nothing, just rhymed the last words of every sentence. Any idiot with a rhyming dictionary can do that.
Don't let Eminem read this thread!
He will use this in his new hiphop album. :D

Oh woe! Woe is me!
I've not been laid since I was wee
But suicide can set me free
So here's some awful poetry.

That's quite impressive, Ken old boy,
Your poetry is such a joy.
I've no beer left; I've checked the fridge,
So now I'll go jump off a car park.

Why, thanks, RobR, yours made me chuckle
As you deftly missed your rhyming couple.
But satire's done its deft deed here
So let's all party and have a Happy New Year!
A poetry battle twixt RobR and Ken?
OK so let war commence then.
I'll fight you with rythm, meter & cuts
And if that doesn't work, a swift kick in the nuts.
A kick in the nuts? that's a tad low
Especially since my dull wit's a bit slow
But if a fight's what you want then i'll pull forth my sabre
But i'm drawing the line at tossing the caber.
