Bevy12 will be dropping her Poem anytime from now.

Tomorrow comes
tomorrow goes
Just like life, a simple
bump on the road.
I lay down on the soft
grass
Wanting you to touch
my hand
Hope you know, I love
you so
.
Feel you on me, feel you
near me
I stroke your face and
kiss your lips
Guess that we're no
longer kids
.
Sadly I let you go,
Now you're resting in the
grave
I'll bring you flowers
every day
Forgive me please I'm
sorry
.
Your face was red with
blood so bright
And now it's white and
lacking life
Tomorrow comes
tomorrow goes
It's just another bump
in life's simple road

Tex, Divey, aren't we behind schedule already?

When Divepen asked me to be a part of this workshop, I was excited. I wasn't really sure about the subject I was given though. All I could think was how personal poetry can be. I even started a thread asking why others write poetry.


Someone on that thread made a comment that poetry made no real contribution to society. I must respectfully disagree, and this is why:


Poetry is not just a means for individuals to express themselves. Poetry can evoke powerful emotions. A poem can take existing emotions and channel them in any direction the author chooses.


A good poet can make you feel anything they choose to put upon you. He who can control the emotions of others, can direct them wherever they wish them to go.


Here are a few examples of poetry that evoke strong emotion, and helps people see things from a different view.

This one has a strong message and is written and spoken beautifully

LarrySun:

what?

Divepen if you close the comment thread how is this supposed to work? I have no other way to address you, or anyone else, but here now. Is that what you want?

@ tex....honestly, I don't understand. Why do we write poems?

noble4d: @ tex....honestly, I don't understand. Why do we write poems?

Well I never finished. We were running late and I guess sammyHoe is impatient.

texanomaly: Divepen if you close the comment thread how is this supposed to work? I have no other way to address you, or anyone else, but here now. Is that what you want?

Yess...

texanomaly: what?

I'm confused about why the other thread was locked.

texanomaly:

Well I never finished. We were running late and I guess sammyHoe is impatient.

Oooops

Well this is a mess. I intended to drop mine in separate blocks and discuss it in the comment thread. Now I don't know if I should post the rest or not.

If nothing else this royal mess will be entertaining to watch. What now?

texanomaly:

Well I never finished. We were running late and I guess sammyHoe is impatient.

Here is a significant case of 'yam pepper scatter-scatter'.

LarrySun: Here is a significant case of 'yam pepper scatter-scatter'.

Well we could turn this thread into a comedy show.

texanomaly:

Well I never finished. We were running late and I guess sammyHoe is impatient.

@ Tex...
Please answer any Question directed to you.

@Larrysun, i'm sorry about that. If we want viewers here, we will have to make this frontpage, but initially I do not want many comment to spoil what we want to do here, and that will deter this thread from getting to the front page.
If this thread goes to the front page, and people see that they cant comment, someone will be forced to comment and the essence of itz making fp will be useless.
So that is why that thread had to be closed,sir.

Do you want me to continue, or wait for Sammy?

Or go back to bed?

texanomaly: Well this is a mess. I intended to drop mine in separate blocks and discuss it in the comment thread. Now I don't know if I should post the rest or not.

If nothing else this royal mess will be entertaining to watch. What now?

@ Sammyhoe, we are sorry for using part of your time,..
@ Tex....Please quickly drop what you want to drop so as to organise the rest together....

texanomaly: Or go back to bed?

Stay here joor...

Is the other thread functionless?
