Poetry is Art too

I know this is the art section but I didn't see a better place for this.

A heart is broken
a mind is shattered
Love was a token
nothing else mattered
Time flew away
and age caught up
It seemed like yesterday
I was still a young pup
Memories are lost
some I'll never find
But at what cost
did I lose my mind?

Great poem!


I believe poetry is art as well.
The soul expressing itself!

I love poetry (especially Hip Hop). Some people think rap is simply Retards Attempting Poetry, but that's a common misconception.

The water washes away my sorrow
In hope for a brighter tomorrow
Although time keeps slipping
With no minutes to borrow
I close my eyes and drift off
As I feel my feet begin to lift
My mind is filled with epiphanies
But what I'm looking for will remain a mystery...

Real no direction with this lol; just wrote it in under 5 mins.

Yeah, been a semi-boring day for me too,

I really like that.
Great style
and it flows very nicely.
But what beat would you put to it .....that was rap. I think rap is a form of poetry.

I am just trying to get to 150 posts so I can use the chat function.

I keep forgetting this place even has a chatroom.
Pretty quiet whenever I go in there.
Always people, but no one talking threads.

reply to post by obnoxiouschick


I never really thought about it lol, but probably this beat...




And they have a chat?! I never knew that!

reply to post by IEtherianSoul9


I like that
there's a thread on trance music you should add that.

yes it says chat right next to the tools tab but mine says I don't have enough posts to use it.

reply to post by Darkblade71

just kidding would never think of doing that

reply to post by obnoxiouschick


You should.
Might liven things up in there

I'll take that as a dare

I wrote this poem back in the mid 90's.

My Awakening

I walked through the darkness without seeing any light.
A darkness so cold that I shivered with fright.
Wandering along a twisted path of greed,
not even knowing I had planted a seed.
My path wondered on seeming without an end.
I had no goals to reach and no love to send.
Then somehow the little seed took sprout,
And hard as I tried I couldn't pull it out.
The minute I touched this small soul grown seed,
It sparked with life and grew like a weed!
I saw the light this plant had brought,
And I realized that it was something I had been taught.
It was the tree of knowledge growing in my mind,
I remember how I once could be kind.
I turned and looked down my dark winding trail,
Realizing I had learned from my darkness,
The darkness changed to a lighter pale.
I looked ahead down my slightly brighter street,
And saw it pass other roads of people I would meet.
I would learn a little from each person I met,
Each intersection,
A person I could not forget.
Then the light began to shine from my still growing tree,
And I had the realization that the light was guiding me.
It had been with me all along in the dark!
but until I needed it,
It was only the seed,
From which came the
spark!

Now that I liked a lot.
Very profound
odd how things people write when they were younger ring true when they are older.
I had written mine when I was 17.
I guess I had too many guys break my heart.

reply to post by obnoxiouschick


Yeah, that happens.
Makes for good poetry though!

reply to post by Darkblade71


I know too well the feeling of pain
I don't like it, it's like getting hit with a chain

I know too well the path of my tears
It's caused by the loneliness, a product of my fears
