I found a poem that I liked and would like to share.
I'm not sure who wrote it, but the imagery is amazing.
| quote: |
I am an incredible, joyous, wondrous & beautiful creation.
An intriguing, fantastical, mystical, breathtaking & awesome fantasy.
An explosive, powerful, frightening, intimidating creator.
An intelligent, creative, talented & brilliant person.
A bold, inquisitive, cheeky, infuriating child.
A wise, calculating, patient & slow seer.
A soft, sensual, enveloping & warm lover.
An ugly, lonely, abandoned & mistreated victim.
A cruel, uncaring, proud & selfish victor.
A shining, bright, white light.
A strong gust of wind, a star in the night sky, a night sky.
A leaf, a tree, a ground, an air.
A droplet of water, a wave, a river, a beach.
A mirror, a house, a road, a car.
A thought, a feeling, a touch.
A vision, a dream, an illusion.
A word, a sentence, a paragraph, a novel.
An image, a film, a painting in oils.
A worm, an antelope, a dolphin, an eagle.
A hill, a valley, a mountain, a plain.
An earth, a sun, a Saturn, a milky way.
A song, a poem, a voice uplifted.
An eye, a nose, a mouth, an ear.
A hand, a foot, a body, a mind, a soul.
A me, a you, a them, an us.
I am

Because? You can't grasp it?
As for the poem, it's borderline doggerel. If you want something deep, read Eliot or Williams.
so much depends upon a red wheelbarrow |

no, because its just feelings someone had and they wrote it down.
i write my feelings and emotions down all the time; but its not considered poetry
unless i write it

Well, you're just overreacting. :wtf: I haven't come across something as ridiculous as this.
Yes, a lot of those modern poets use unorthodox syntax/technique/etc., and, I'll admit, it takes me a while to actually "get it" on my own (sometimes never), but some poems constructed in such a manner are done to recreate a sensation exactly as the poet envisioned. And, fyi, all poems "aren't" about somebody's feelings. |

whatever. there's nothing to "GET" about poetry.
and if there IS something to get about it, its just the poet's way of being a douchebag and giving the reader a runaround of what they're really trying to say.
kinda like when you ask a chick "what's wrong" and she says "oh, nothing"
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: |

Well, I disagree. It's the same damn thing everybody says when they're getting "the runaround." So: :wtf: |
