Hello everybody! Some of you ZU members may remember my poetry thread there, well now it's coming here! Unbeknownst to many of you I love writing poetry. Here I will be posting my poems. To start I will post 3 already written ones up on ZU. first we have an older poem of mine I dug up, I almost forgot about it before now. it's very different from my usual style of work and it was my first freeverse. It came out better than I remembered. Guess I was being overly modest when I looked at the poem at first once I'd written it and assumed it was bad, looking now I would go as far as to call it some of my best work! 2013 EDIT: Yeah, not my best work anymore. It's not bad or anything, but it's overshadowed by my other far better ones. Over the horizon comes a ship a wonderous ship, for it carries not only passengers but dreams it is a ship that must be boarded many a river has it forded many a trial has it conquered many have declined thought it would sink afraid of the risk for those who have boarded an ocean had been forded now it's your turn to decide is it worth boarding? Next is another poem I wrote a while back, this ones about winter ( I live in northeastern US so I get a lot of snow). White powder across the ground Walking through with no sound Trees are bare, leaves rejected Only pine needles remain connected A cardinal builds a nest atop a tree Flies away at the sight of me beautiful in it's own odd way it's another winter day Oh leaf, it's autumn time! come off the spot, from which you are bound only to fall to the cold hardened ground Oh leaf, it's autumn time! maybe dismissed, but never forgotten even blanketed in an early white cotton Oh leaf, it's autumn time! now pulled to the side, out of the way a burrow for an animal to lay Oh leaf, it's autumn time! the trees are bare, it's the end winter's right around
Re: double_r111 poetry center Southern Hyrule Engulfed in evil the maniacal rule of the king of evil northern Hyrule Under attack many brave soldiers fighting to push evil back Zoras Domain Safe for now always waiting for spreaders of ganons reign Castle town a safe house of sorts when all else is down it will remain Impa, a new hope a sign even in the dark we still have some light it's the end of the rope time to fight ganon time, for victory This one will show up at ZU and when I post it their at least someone will probably get curious about this place, but this is about Hyrule here.
Re: double_r111 poetry center Wow, very nice Double! Its awesome that you wrote a poem about HC! I like it a lot :)
Re: double_r111 poetry center Thanks, I usually just decide on a topic and then make up the poem as I go along, doesn't sound like a very good strategy but as you can obviously see it works for me.
Re: double_r111 poetry center This is completely different from my normal style of writing, but it came out good. into shadow I fade away only in silence do I have my way the dark of night is when I plot the power which I have sought no one gives me a thought. with true power, I awake noticed by many hungry for more For true fear, I do make I am finally in control.
Re: double_r111 poetry center Sea endless ocean Waves always in motion Islands scattered through the sea Sailors exploring all they can see Islanders homes all they've ever known Adventurers living away from home Decisions
Re: double_r111 poetry center Finally, a dream I sought previously a lost thought will be rekindled and my hopes they mingled with harsh reality
Re: double_r111 poetry center Finally got 2 new poems after ignoring this thread for months. First one is actually about numbers of all things. It came out quite well I think. ten is easy so is five improve quickly but always divided and very one sided nine is harder but only a little though it never reaches one-hundred percent six, seven and eight take too much work and are always left in a very bad state two, three and four are small and easy to use but very manipulative and only choose favorites but everyone forgets the very first one easiest of all also the slowest it views all as equal and skips over none Second one was written for school about WWI but it ended up very general, and can easily describe almost any war. He leaves to fight for country knowing he will die living on a battlefield fate to be sealed he only wonders Why He leaves to fight for country mother's worried sick sitting at home she lets out a sigh and only wonders Why He leaves to fight for country leaving baby at home he says goodbye knows it's a lie and only wonders Why He leaves to fight for country a vet of wars long past but this will be his last and he only wonders Why
Re: double_r111 poetry center Wow, I just noticed this thread. This is really good double :) I especially liked the endless sea one and the short one about the dream seeking. It makes me think of rekindling previously lost dreams, clashing against reality, and then either deluding yourself or overcoming it to make it work regardless. I haven't tried poetry at all but I had friends who loved it and wrote all the time. Makes me kinda nostalgic :)
Re: double_r111 poetry center I know the post was made way back in February, but I still feel the need to thank Adad for his compliment in this post, simply because it never got done before. So thank you Adad. Anyways, now that that's out of the way, poem time! I wait for a moment which may never come I wait for an opportunity which may fly right by things happen all around and yet in the middle of it all I wait for something I do not know I wait I wait for it all I wrote it recently, and may change some words, but I might also decide I like how it is now. So don't be surprised if I end up making a small change to the poem in the next few days. If there is a change, it's going to be a small change in wording though, nothing that drastically changes the meaning.
Wow, I like it a lot! Great job! I especially like the one about numbers and the other one about war. Keep it up Dubs!
Suddenly NEW POST FROM NOWHERE! Seriously though, I finally wrote something. Been forever since I wrote a good poem. I really like how it came out too, except maybe for the ending. Maybe. Still can't decide on it. We are what hide where you cannot abide We are the blight just out of your sight By day we shall lay so that by night we may slay And the ones who are weak are the ones who we seek And those who have passed the ones who don't last Those who believe who won't let us leave
This was a short poem I wrote up in about 5 minutes on the Cbox earlier today about how I should write a poem for HC. It mostly came out good, but the ending is a little awkward sounding due to it's syllable count. I came up with it in about 5 minutes though, so I was bound to do something off. A poem draws near inspiration finally strikes here and so with great thought words together I've wrought to make a poem that works to please those who in my thread lurks
I don't know what to do I don't know where to start but time is running out I tried to follow my heart Tried to do what seemed smart but it all fell apart and time is running out. Been a while since I've written anything really substantial here. Mostly it's been quick poems I came up with in about 5 seconds. I'll have to change that soon. But for now, you'll need to satisfy yourself with this.
