Well what kind of poems do you want to hear? I have written poems on so many different topics.
Do you paint or do any other creative work DiMO?
Please do show us some if you wish, and when you have the time...
BiWi,
Anything you would like to share... I love nature poems a lot.
Strangly enough those are the only kind I don't write... I've never been to good at nature poems but then again I haven't tried to write on in a while I'll bet if I tried now I could. I write I like I think about the good and bad sides of life. The poems I write most are ones about abuse and love. Here's the first love poem I ever wrote (I wrote this when I was 12! )
Empty Words
He says he loves me
He says he cares
My stomachs doing summersaults
But deep inside I wonder…
Are these just empty words?
He says he'll be with me for all time
And that he'll always just be mine
My eyes are sparkling with the joy
But deep inside I wonder…
Are these just empty words?
Am I just a toy I wonder…
Something to pass the time
I can't help but dread
When he talks about his ex girlfriend
Even though
My heart says no
I can't help but wonder…
Is he trying to get her back?
Was he ever really mine?
Or was that twinkle in his eyes
Just her in the back of his mind
Is he thinking of me or her
Now tears start to fill my eyes
And my vision becomes a blur
Now as the tears start to flow down my face
Deep inside I wonder…
Were they ALWAYS
Just empty words
Whoops I posted twice O.o... how did that happen?
Very deep! And at 12?
Was this about a real relationship?
You can edit and delete one post.
No it wasn't... it was just something that popped into my head. This was the first poem I ever wrote. Most of my poems are like that... just ideas that come into my head. Everyone always thinks they are about me cause and I qoute from someone who critiqued me "there's so much emotion in them".
Thanks for sharing your first ever poem.:)
I read you were publishing some of your work, is it all poems?
You I'm writing two novels ("The Wars of Elf Wood" and "Arra") but I'm also writing a poetry book with all my poems over the years and I'm almost done... it's 66 pages long right now. I'm trying to hunt down some old poems and write new ones and I'm having teachers critique my poems so I know what I need to change if I need to. The last thing I'll need to do when I'm done putting it together is paint the cover. A friend of mine is going to help me get it published after that.
WoW!Impressive.
:o really?
I used to write poems all the time when I was younger (age 10-15). I have never been really great at art (except for maybe the imagination in my head). Nowadays, my creative works consist of finger painting with my children, or coloring in a Spongebob coloring book with my children.Quote:

Welcome to the new people in the thread!
Biwicc, your flower painting and your poem are awesome!
Hehe, I wish I was a good painter, but I'm crap at it, and I've only really ever done one painting that I actually like.
Anyway, be good to see more of your art/poems!
Also, what kind of novels are they? By the titles I'm guessing fantasy
I used to like writing stories and stuff but I gave that up because I like writing poems more

I was going to post what I am now on that thread. But, here would seem to be a more appropriate place because of the artistic nature of the outlook on it.Quote:

When I look at people, I too put much credence into what I see in the bone structure of a person's face, or "mask" as we might call it in singing terminology. I already pointed that out to Carla earlier on this thread.
Reading what you wrote above also makes me think of the guys in the local barbershop singing group that I am now directing. Most of the guys are old, gray, fat, etc. By the world's standards, not really really very pleasing to the eye. But, they become beautiful even on the outside because of what you see and find on the inside...
For me, there is hardly a finer group of guys around to be with. They are incredibly funny! And, are very supportive of each other no matter what physical or psychological issues we might have. Also, when we sing together, the sound that is produced almost transcends the idea as to what beauty is... it is almost indescribable. The feeling, the emotion, the unity and feeling of oneness and belonging...
Sometimes people don't know what they are missing in life, because they haven't been there yet!
I mean that especially in terms of knowing how to appreciate and appreciating the beauty in people and things of this world and beyond.

I have been in conversations with a person and they say something negative about someone's looks and I can honestly say to them, "I never noticed. I just know their smile lights up my world!" or other comments because that is what I notice. (I have not always had this way of looking at life and admit I have been guilty of enjoying just viewing a person who is very pleasing to the eye! LOL). I know some of this comes with just living life. I met some people from school one night not long ago at a restaurant. The guy we were invited there to see, I had dated in school. He was in from out of town and was in AA. He made the statement, "Don't you wish we could do high school all over again?" He was being very introspective. I had to honestly say no because I, at that time had so many insecurities although as I stated in an earlier post on "Self-Esteem" thread, no one knew that about me. He then said, "No, I mean "and know what we know now." It is an interesting thought but I don't think I could have ever known certain things about myself without just living life as it presents itself.
As with art, each individual brings with them certain attributes. It is up to them to open up and share them with others so they are visible and up to us to draw those attributes out. I think of my pencil drawings. I begin with one tiny mark on a page, getting 4 to 9 strokes per point before chosing another pencil and work anywhere from 3 to 52 hours thus far on a piece. Each mark defines and redefines that character or animal or structure. It is up to me to bring that out in that piece of art. People are art! We are in the process of becoming a finished creation.
The feeling, the emotion, the unity and feeling of oneness and belonging... as you said in this post, says a lot. We all are seeking those feelings. I in no way minimize how one feels when feeling "out of the loop" or "out of step" with the rest of the people around us. My last supervisor said, "You just march to the beat of your own drum". She smiled and meant it as a compliment and I smiled and had to agree. I have felt that way most of my life and may share in a PM why later sometime but I have turned that to an advantage in becoming very much an individualist (although being mindful to be complient when it is the correct thing to do) in my thinking and caring and loving. When one can take a negative and turn it into a positive, what a victory!

Keep writing, sharing, caring, and loving... and love who you are and who you are becoming!!
I am a better person for having been in contact with these artists. I look forward to many more posts from you!
I was born in Joplin, MO. Still have lots of family there and Springfield, Kansas City, St. Louis but here I am in OK now and was basically raised here.Quote:

I appreciated your nice comments on my earlier post and on my jewelry!
Hey FB,
We keep missing each other lately on the thread! My schedule has changed a bit the last few days! Keep creating. Always glad to read your posts!
Cal, any new art pieces? I really have liked the ones you posted. Like your use of color!Quote:

Didi!
I know you are busy now but I am missing your posts. I had fun reading your antics with Clough on the thread though earlier. My schedule has been off for a few days also. So when you see 90 posts in a row from me, it is because I have to take advantage of the time allotted right now! :P Good and happy days to you!
Ello peoples, ummmm jrebel I have a pastel one I did ages ago I'm going to upload later, and I have a few sketches I'm thinking of doing pastel versions of but I'm not sure.
There's a artline drawing that I would upload if it didn't read too much into some of my recent issues and some stupid stuff I did, its an okay drawing, but I'm not sure you guys want to see sumting that describes what I did.
Cal, keep posting your work. Life isn't just about rainbows and lollipops. Sometimes life hits hard and it comes out in our work. It is up to you of course, I am not asking you to submit anything you would not want to share. Sometimes, we must keep things private until we feel it would be healthy to share or helpful to others. I just wanted to touch base. Seems eveyrone is enjoying this thread. Take care!
Hi, Jan!
Hi there Craig!
Where did you go? :confused:Quote:

And we are having to go through parents home to organize so I have not been on consistently. I just didn't want you to think I was ignoring you!! :) I'm sorry I missed you. Until later then!
Hey guys thanks for the support and yes Cal they are fantasy I'm very proud of Arra so far (it's 17 pages so far) and I love my "The Wars of Elf Wood" but I'm at a stand still with it right and need to rewrite several pages (its 67 pages long).
And if anyone would like to here another poem let me know what type and I'll post one, mean while here's another picture of mine. Animal skull on brown paper (chalk and charcoal)
Attachment 5041
BiWi... I like the animal skull. From the photo, the paper almost looks like a thin wood. I will try to post a skull I did in analogous colors but it won't be tonight. I will need to resize it before posting. How are you enjoying this thread?? We are happy you are here.
I really like it I'm glad you guys invited me ^.^
Hi everyone!
Welcome to the new people on the thread. I'm sure you will enjoy the feedback here. BiWi, I really liked the animal skull and your poem was quite good for your age at the time. I look forward to seeing more from you.
Jan, thanks for your emails. It was quite amusing to read that we both had grandson's named Benjamin! My Ben has a twin named Nicholas, a younger brother named Thomas (Tom) and an older sister named Amanda. They all have a step-brother named Matthew. My adopted daughter (who was actually my grand-daughter at birth) is Alexis. Any more similarities?
FB, are you going to post some more? I was wondering, what is your favoured means of artistic expression if you have one?
Cal, I would also be interested in seeing whatever you feel you can post if it is something you are willing to share.
Chek, missing your posts! Erica, hoping to see more from you soon, too, although I do understand how busy you must be.
Craig, where did you go??
Hugs all,
Didi
Hi, everyone! I am here now. Don't know for how long, though. Firm, you and I have some unfinished business on another post. I would like to help you. If you have time, now might be a good time.
Really, it looks almost 3-D! I am wondering how you accomplished that! Paper? I too, thought that it was wood!Quote:

Grammadidi,
I love using acrylic/fabric paints on fabric(outfits) or canvas.
I will try to post one later.
Craig,
I am up for it if you are.
Didi, I was happy to see you had been on the thread. Sorry I missed you! I have a granddaughter whose name is Alexandria which is pretty close to Alexis. They were going to call her Lexie but she goes by Alex. I have a nephew by the name of Matthew. My best friend's son'n name is Nicholas!! Considering all the other things, a little eerie, don't you think?? :) Soul Sister!!
Dear Jan,
I got your email. Thank you! Will respond later. Have some things in the works that just got to get done! I am sure that I am not the only one who has things to get done!
Craig
FB, I will be looking for your post you just mentioned.
Craig, are you here now? Sorry I missed you earlier.
Didi may be just in and out this week, as will I. I believe that she has a guest visiting. I have some obligations to customers which really need to get done.
Hey, you know how it is. We take our chances as to who is going to be on here when we come on. I have been frustrated because I had been having a great dialogue with someone who wanted to know about her piano. She returned only briefly. It would be good to finish the dialogue because of others who might have similar questions who search for things like that on the Internet. I suggested to her to let me know some times when she might be on, and I would try to be on at one of the times.Quote:
