I've got a touch for ****ing up,
So I put my hands in nothing much.
Now I let the time pass by,
As I think in broken rhyme.

My days are long, my nights are cheap,
There's nothing wrong, but I can't sleep,
An hour here, an hour there,
I lay in bed without a care,
My eyes won't close, it's nothing new,
It's still a feeling I have a hard time getting used to.

Try to get my heart in something new,
Take my head back from the balloons,
But now my hands they grasp away,
To hold on to the refrain.

So for now my head's in the clouds.
And I hope that I never fall out.
Or sing the songs of someone else.
I feel just fine sitting here on my shelf.
So no more whining about,
There's no need to scream or to shout.
I've got this life, on this shelf,
And I hope I never fall out.

Anyone write in a stream-of-consciousness manner? I see a lot of poetry posted here, and wonder just how calculated or sparse the works are constructed.

Similarly to above, I've tried it a couple of times, but I think it comes off as a bit rubbishly pretentious rather than any good.

Wrote this about... yeesh three years ago. First attempt at stream of consciousness writing. I mean it's been heavily edited since the first drafts and changed since I think but yeah:

Aaaand this is another one, edited quite heavily again because of the shape I wanted for it but it was written in a stream of consciousness style:

It's not a style I'm well suited to though. I like working within restraints because it forces me to edit and redraft to fit within certain limitations but it's something I'd like to try more.

I've actually started writing a bit for the first time in months and months. I'd like to hit some open mic stuff around where I live (maybe not perform, but see what it's like) and check out what's happening now rather than living in my own little bubble. Anyone else do stuff like that?

I'd agree that it can be seen as lazy. Some thoughts are best left in their rawest forms, though. For me, if I can't get something started the way I would like for it to, I'll just open notepad or write in a journal in a stream-of until something pops out.

Oh I'd agree that it's definitely a great process to start a piece of writing, just get shit loads of raw material and filter through it bit by bit once it's out, but having it as a final draft isn't always great for me.

I agree, you also have search feature enabled, so all in all you can search for whatever you are looking for.

Alright, i realize when i sing, my voice is soft (which i hate) how can i get a harder edge to my voice?

Are you kidding me, you've [B]extremely obviously[/B] been crying for the attention and laughs you got when I mistook you for Jared like 3 months ago.


Someone incapable of intelligent social interaction thinks I'm a moron? OH NO!

You're completely self absorbed, probably autistic. All you do is spam things YOU find funny and then get made fun of for it repeatedly.

I completely capable of drawing from (intelligent) criticism, and sorry to break it to you, but you're not offending me. It's just annoying that somebody who doesn't post on topic about anything ever feels the need to spam every single thing I post about how stupid it is.

Get off your personal vendetta.

P.S. nobody likes you, go away.[/QUOTE]
