    Default Post your poetry here

    I saw in the pictures topic there are a few poets here. Post your original poetry you’d like to share.

    I also like to analyze poetry and things of the sort, so if you’d like, I can give feedback as well.

    Here’s a poem I wrote 2-3 years ago.

    "Unalienable Truths"

    I'm an isosceles
    Born in the sky
    Became part of the trees
    The best part of me
    Was grounded in the leaves
    Because the truth is
    I'm an isosceles

    Another, maybe two years old.

    “Injustice”

    They told me,
    And when I didn’t believe them,
    They showed me
    How to pin down dreams:
    Quartering them
    Through the seams;
    I, so responsible,
    Find it so laughable
    These murderers walk free
    When they’ve torn away that thing
    That made me “me”;
    So, when you ask me why,
    I can only respond in like,
    While mourning how it feels
    When a dream dies.

    I like that.

    It kind of reminds me of the experience you’re supposed to have when reading “The Gray Room” by Wallace Stevens or “(i carry your heart with me [i carry it in)” by e.e. cummings.

    It’s like there’s a sudden call to notice something very physical happening within an environment and the whole world shifts. For some reason, it feels like how the Runaway Bride must have felt when she runs off, during The Gray Room.

    With e.e. cummings, the repeated phrase becomes its own heartbeat that reverberates within the poem to repeat its inherent warmth. Both invite the reader to share these feelings and very physical responses, which I think your poem did as well. Nice job.

    May I find love again someday
    Now I navigate this place
    Like a monkey through the trees
    A temper it can roar like an engine

    Chorus

    Did you ever try to count the stars it can't be done, it can't be done
    Did you ever wanna set the night on fire
    I lie awake in the shadows of the trees
    I lie alone in the field of dreams

    Music rings throughout the land
    I sit in here with pen in hand
    And hope that you can learn from what I say
    Now I lay my towel on the sand
    Wish that I could hold your hand
    I dream about a future together

    Chorus
    Lovely.
    Breakups tend to bring out the best in writing.
    The majority of my deeper poems stem from the end of relationships.

    I could feel the anger in it. The feeling I got while reading it was like when the singer Jewel sang in an angry way on her album 'Pieces of You'.
