Night Visions by Beennkumar(m): 2:48pm On Dec 17, 2014 |
RELIGIOUS INSANITY In the name of their god, They wreak havoc abroad, Following sick instruction, Pushing death and destruction. With minds warped and twisted, Their mad cause persisted, And they lose their humanity, For religious insanity. With their goodness faded, A way paved for hatred, Is there any hope at all, Before more innocent fall? Cc: Laykhorn, Texanomaly. 2 Likes |

This is awesome. Simple. You organisation is awesome and your grammatical accuracy is superb! Just that, Line 2 should have ended with a full stop. Line 10 too. I believe you believe that a full stop doesn't come if the line isn't the last in a stanza There's a simple rule. Punctuate your poem just like you'd punctuate your prose work. Cheers Ayamlaykorn |

Lovely poem I must say But, just asking why you did use questions mark for the last line..... Since u aren't asking a question but making a statement |
Re: Night Visions by Beennkumar(m): 10:53am On Dec 18, 2014 |
dre11:That was a question. |

Beennkummar. An acrostic poem is a poem that spells a word, often the poem topic with the first letters of every line. Take a look at an acrostic I once wrote about someone named gloria.z Ayamlaykorn |

G lory that my wicked eyes beheld in you. L lowered me O konkwo, the lion,the savannah symbol of greatness. R eadily dancing to the cursed melodious notes your lips produced. I dolized for the roundness of your hips,fullness of your lips, the dandy way you sip. A h, might is not might. Might is the softness of your skin,the bones on your cheeks, your touch, your feel. Z esty love, you awoke in me, and slowly slowly you killed the destructive spirit of me. Gloriaz you are poison. Ayamlaykorn |

Imagine you wanted to write dechande.l a poem and you wrote her an acrostic, with her name all spelt out in bold letters in a meaningful poem. Wouldn't she be awed Ayamlaykorn |
Re: Night Visions by Beennkumar(m): 10:33am On Dec 22, 2014 |
Wow! I see. I get it now. Thanks prof. |
Re: Night Visions by Beennkumar(m): 10:35am On Dec 22, 2014 |
Quick question: Must the lines follow a rhythmic pattern? |
Re: Night Visions by Nobody: 11:04am On Dec 22, 2014 |
Beennkummar, your style will be the thing decide that. The acrostic is a form that can be used with all styles. Imagine you were writing an acrostic poem with a sonnet. You would still have to observe the rhythm rules. But if you were writing in free verse or a style that has no specific rhythm rules, then being acrostic doesn't change that. Btw, I amu not a puro-vessor Ayamlaykorn |

Sometimes my mind is blocked, Trapped, hindered, and locked. Behind this cage of uncreativity, Imagination yearns to be free. In this prison so dark and cold, Where no idea will spark or hold, I fight my ultimate fear: My imagination dying here. What escape do I try today? Scream, fight, hope, pray? I push, I pound these prison walls, But do they budge? Not at all. But neither do I give in to this, This cruel, unimaginative abyss. No walls, no bars will stop creation, Not while I wield firm determination. Cc: Laykorn I'm really sorry I've been inactive, missing lectures and assignments. I've been so choked up at work. I hope everything stabilizes soon. For the meantime, I'll try my best to catch up. Once again, my apologies. |
