Mind-wrestling with Poets (it's a community thread! Come on in!)

Well, no, not really, but there's an ugly words thread in Office Party, and I mentioned your cudgel there. Not by name, of course.

I told them I was very disappointed in the thread. I doesn't have nearly enough ugly words in it. Most of them like all the words. Very tedious.

Fear not, Kylabelle. I'm on my way to sort it out. In addition to my cudgel, I have quite an assortment of ugly words.

Oh good. I knew you were just the woman for the job.

And now I've made trouble in three forums today. I'm not counting humor -- I make trouble there every day. For that matter, it's not very uncommon for me to do it in P&CE. It's rare I bludgeon people in Poetry, though.

I will share a poem my big brother, Kenfusion, wrote when he was five. It's copyrighted, so you can't steal it.

The Silly Poem

The man who can make it through the rain,
The man who can make it through the pain,
The man who can make it on his own
Is a person who is quite unknown.




Yes, that's my bro. He stops by AW once in a blue moon. You should see what he did later on, and his current work.


I love you Ken, and you are fuzzy!

Well? Can we see what he did later on? Linkies? Copypasties?

I posted on his thread, or my thread, with him, actually.

Oh, I see! Luring me into new territory. *thanks*

Yeah, I'm not falling for it. Every time someone drags me into new territory, I end up smack in the middle of a bare-knuckle fight.

Poetry. It's where the fun kids hang out.

CBronco, Ima check out those youtubes today, thanks for the heads up. I never would have gone over there.

Thank you Ma'am! I love my bro. He has always been an inspiration to me, and is the only person I know who read Paradise Lost for fun!

Oh, good. It just so happens I brought one with me. Anyone want to have a friendly discussion about similes or metaphors?

Did you find dictionaries for those?

I ask once more, whats the craic everyone? (ie. hows it going?)

No, I prefer to simply pronounce everything to be a simile and condemn it all en masse.

The craic is mighty indeed.

A good discriminating eye for any critique.

Heya, Matty, when are we going to see more poems from you?

(Cass here will be glad to tell you all about any similes she finds, but nevermind that.)

Soon, I am working on one at the moment. Probably still a bit trite, but hey, I can't help if thats how I write. Getting better is a process I suppose, a fun one, but its takes a long time...

I look forward to seeing it.

Just posted it up

As I say, I definitely have a long way to go before my poems are better. I can't help but think that mine are all too 'poemy' haha, I signed up for a free poetry course online though, so hopefully I will learn some stuff in that when it starts (As well as from the always helpful critiques on here).

Stew, I read and enjoyed your poem.

/gossip

Matty here just recently completed reading Ulysses. I am still impressed by that.

Haha thanks
