Ergh, my first creating poetry seminar was pretty awful. We did the clichéd 'What is poetry?' exercise and (since we have to write a poem every week) we have to write a poem about our kitchen when we were 11. Wtf we're not in primary school. I understand that she's easing us into it gently but it's a bit lame.

So, what [I]is[/I] poetry?

iz wurds

hey man

hey

man

sex has never helped writing better

heart-break, on the other hand...

hey community of the deadest forum on the board

hey how's it going?

pretty good, slowly getting out of my writing slump

you?

It's pretty good. Poetry module is going well (if anything it gets me to write more and be way more confident with reading aloud, taking criticism and critiquing other people's work) but I got an essay back the other day, and because I got a crap mark in a Philosophy essay a few days before, I've been too scared to look at it in case it's crap. I've got to put together an idea of what poems I want in my portfolio for next week though. Might run a few by you lot before I do. Got to be anywhere from 6-12 depending on length.

Doing a creative writing masters based on the poetry/writing modules I took at undergrad. They were fun.

I really don't have the attention span for posting/critting stuff anymore. I think its cause I use my laptop in front of the tv

Oh my. Talk about dead. I remember when people used to post in this thread. :(

havent seen you around in a while.

havent been posting in a while either...

I've got a couple of things from my module portfolio I might stick up. Apart from that I've had a massive writer's block recently. I've tried writing stuff but it's just been rubbish.

mine are very sporadic. i only write as a catharsis when something affects me drastically anymore. trying to write stories but fiction is really different

Just got an email saying I'm got one of five editorial positions for the experimental writing section of my uni's online creative writing magazine :smoke:

Thanks :D I found out last night that my friend applied and got the same job too (I must have missed it on the email) so that makes it way less terrifying as well. Now I'm just excited.

Hi
 

I like because his music is powerful. But confess I did not know him.

Everyone try not to be dumbass spammers in here or Subtle will ban you.

This isn't the "I walked the dog, my name is Morrissey and I'm a girl" thread, it's to establish conversation about S&L related topics. If you want to be a worthless piece of sh[I]i[/I]t, go to the pit.

So, anyway. Who enjoys the new Bright Eyes album?[/QUOTE]

There is so much good music out there you know...!!!

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:

[URL]http://sputnikmusic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=571838[/URL]

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?

[QUOTE=witchxrapist;18309085]
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]
