Ragnorrock atempting poetry... that can't be good.
« on: June 25, 2011, 12:22:21 am »
These are two different poems. I hope you like.

Ti's a pity, that this city,
has banned me from its doors.
My life, my love,
is not for me no more.
I must flee, from this city
or else declare war.
I am a monster,
who cowers from the light,
from mankind's cruelty
and titanic might.

I live on my own.
Enduring the heat
and chilling to the bone.
I do not belong to this world,
and this world does not belong to me.
I must flee this world,
and let the residence bee.



Here I am at world's end,
where nature fights and strains
to heal and mend.
I have reached my destination,
only to be stopped by others desperation.
I see with my own eyes the one before me.
and yet, I do not understand,
for whom lye's before the,
is me.

There I stand, but here I am.
How can this be?
How is it me?
Yet there I stand, and here I am at world's end,
where nature fights and strains
to heal and mend.

I fight to flee, to be free,
and yet there I see,
as I fight to return and to see
the other me...


They need a little adjusting... Come to think about it A LOT of adjusting.

Any tips?

Next time, I'll collect the money, and you can die!
The perfect blossom is a rare thing. You could spend your life looking for one, and it would not be a wasted life.

Not bad, but I feel you are right, ajustnents are needed. But they are just little things, like changing a single word and moveing the punctuation around a bit.

I don't want to re-write your poems, but here's an example of what I mean.

I would change this

"Here I am at world's end,
as nature fights and strains,
to fix and mend"

into something like this

'Here I am at world's end,
where nature fights and strains
to heal and mend."

Changed "as" and "fix", and took out the pause at the ebd of the second line. I could be totaly off my game, biut the idea is there. Just read  over you poems over (and over), and you will get a feel for what sounds right, and what would better convay your message and feeelings

Thanks. :) Adjustments have been made.

New one

The fool once saw,the pool of blood,
that would stain this ground.
hearing the rumble of marching
as the drums would sound.


Pain, pain the unholy pain
that I try to withstand,
hold and contain.


Two warriors forced and bound.
to fight each other at the ring of the sound.
whose blood will stain this ground.
Next time, I'll collect the money, and you can die!
