And - YES, it was going downhill quick. Some people should learn to bite their tongue. Some responses were simply uncalled for. Sorry, arrogance irritates me.
You are very welcome!
So, I can call upon you in the future as the need arises?
Absolutely. Sometimes I don't give the greatest advice, but an encouraging word or two never hurt anybody!!
I actually think that Greg and I have come to an understanding and mutual respect, after I helped him with something else about which he posted. He appreciated what I said rather than lambasting me.Quote:

I added you as well!!Quote:

Since the digital cameras batteries are currently charging, maybe you gals/guys can tell me if some of my poems are any good :)
Here's the first poem I wrote since I started writing poetry about half a year ago or more... it kind of worried all my friends lolz
Silas
By seany
The sun only shines on the other side
of the world
you know you love me. i know you hate me.
Tell me your secrets. Ill tell you my lies.
Take me home, so i can die.
Love Me
Hate Me
Heal Me
Hurt Me
Love Me
Kill Me
Rape Me
My failure, My love you despise
We're all decaying, dying since painful birth.
Here's another I wrote quite a bit later
No Heart
I wish i didnt have a heart
Then you couldnt break it
I wish i never saw your eyes
Then i would never melt
I wish i never saw you smile
then i would never miss it
I wish i didnt feel for you
then i would never feel heartbroken
And one I wrote when I was in a somewhat better mood
Inspired by a nooma video of the same title
Rain
So ill just stand here, in the middle of winter, in the middle of your heart,
and wait for it to rain, for it to pour down, for the storms sweet embrace,
took just a one talk, a few sweet words, and my heart is taken,
a broken heart reknits and heals, a reborn person is ready to risk death again
my heart may get broken, i may die again, but reborn i will be, my saviour reconstructs my soul
so again like a fool a risk i have taken, but i do not care, so here i am, i am now taken,
and when it does rain, my dearest heart, you may fear the damp and i may shelter you, i may have to carry you,
but i will remember it always, and i will treasure the rain, because when it rained, i got to be with you :)
so ill just stand there, in the middle of the street, alone or with you, beloved or heartbroken, and wait for the rain, for the sweet healing downpour.
Hope you people like them :)
I like them. THe first one didn't really scare me, but saddened me for sure. LOL Do you write a lot when you are down? Or is it just easier to write about depressing things than love or happiness?
Please don't take that the wrong way, Im surely not criticizing you, I am just curious.
Erica
While we are at it, why don't you add me to your list?
Did I qualify
Dun worry I rarely take things the wrong way
It is hard for me to write happy poems, the words just don't come most the time
And I do write a lot when I'm down.
Yeah - I understand. Keep it up though they are quite interesting none the less

My daughter is an artist - visual arts, such as painting and drawing. She lives in California. She much prefers to listen to music that is in minor keys. I am kind of the same way, except that, I would have to say that I am really "on the fence" concerning that, because I perform so many types of music.Quote:

I think it is much easier to tune into melancholy feelings and write about them than happier ones! To me, the melancholy feelings, by meaning alone, lead to brooding and pensiveness so it is only natural that it is easier to write about! Melancholy is all about expression! :)
I write quite a bit, but find it much easier to write a pouring out of emotion when I am melancholy or deeply emotional.

Hi, Christine and Jan!
I know that you are probably just catching up on things here. Or, maybe each of you went to get something to eat!
:D
Oops! There you are!Quote:

But, I am curious as to why you have chosen the word "melancholy" over other words that might be used, such as depressed, reflective, blue, downhearted, saddened, dejected, etc.
Thanks!
Hugs, Craig
Hi Craig, I had an hour to myself, so came on to nose around. :D I would really love to read some of your poetry, you know! Most of mine is a little too... deep(?)... possibly risqué(?) for AMHD. :) Actually, truth be known, it is difficult for me to let people into the depths of my soul. Although, when I think of the way I respond to the questions here, I guess my soul has been pretty much bared. Hahaha!
Hugs, Didi
I chose melancholy because, to me, it is a more pensive sadness, perhaps? I do not have to be depressed to be melancholy, not do I have to be dejected! In fact, I honestly can't think of anything I have written when I have been depressed or dejected. To me, melancholy is like being surrounded in a soft cloud of warm thoughts. I really can't explain it further than that. I can be in love and be melancholy.
Hugs, Didi
"Birds of a feather, flock together!"
Hmmmm... to be honest, I don't enjoy the first one. I liked the beginning, up to the word lies, but the remainder of it became too... abrupt, I think. The last two lines just didn't seem to do the first part any justice at all. Of course, that's only my opinion, and critiques of poetry, just like art, is all relative to the person who is giving the opinion. :)Quote:

Thank you so much for sharing!
Hugs, Didi
I made a new post, if anyone is interested. It concerns creativity!

I hope my second post was creative enough! Heehee!Quote:

Hi, Erica!
Didi has gone to bed. She is an hour ahead of me. It is 1:50 a.m. where I am.
Craig
Oh man, you guys are headed for bed, and I'm just getting started. No wonder no one is on throughout the day!!
You got that right! :) Although, firmbeliever should be closer to your time zone.Quote:

Yes for now - only been here a few months and really miss the states. But its very enjoyable thus far. :)
So, I take it that you're not a native of Germany? Please explain. Also, please pardon my ignorance. Thank you!Quote:

Kind of silly. But, there's plenty of room for creativity for those who are so inclined.
No I'm not a native. My husband is stationed here for the next 3 years. And I read a little on your new thread, if I think of anything I'll be sure to add it. :) :)
P.S. and I didn't find any ignorance!
Us talking about Germany is causing me to reminisce about things in my past.
I tuned a piano in Germany a long time ago. I have also tuned a piano while being televised on national television over here, believe-it-or-not!
That's amazing. I'm not very musically enclined that's for sure. Tried learning ot play the guitar, and didn't go forward with it. Do you play anything ?
I play a number of instruments and I also sing. We all have the ability to play, sing, draw, paint, write. We're just not all born with a Stradivarius for an instrument as a means to an end. Some of us just need to work at it harder than others do.
Is that your picture in your avatar?
Very true. Anythings possible for anyone willing to work at it and try over and over again. I like you're way of thinking C!
