I want to read it! :D

Kiwara 06-24-2011 10:52 AM

Hang on... I'm gonna go read your poem again to see if that train of thought will come back...

AlgebraAddict 06-24-2011 10:54 AM

Goodness... I crave pepsi so badly...

Kiwara 06-24-2011 10:57 AM

Shoot... I can't remember it... Its sorta coming up with something... But now that I'm asking it to nothing will happen. All that reminds me is to say that in your poem I love the lines "Admit to death you are weak". I can see so many of my characters saying something like that... Especially in HITS.

Kiwara 06-24-2011 11:01 AM

A door
Is closing on
A friendship once
Past.

That wasn't what I was going for... But okay. See, LST and everyone else, I can't write poetry! Not unless it's practically midnight and my brain is off on some random tangent I'm not even listening to...

Oh of course brain. Come up with random stanzas that don't even go together!

I hate to say this, but poetry fundamentals have to start with a strict structure, once you've mastered that, then you can go free-flow. Force yourself to follow a certain rhyme pattern and a certain meter.

For example an abab cdcd quatrain poem with 10 syllables in each line.

And OVERDO Metaphors!

Kiwara 06-24-2011 11:06 AM

Oh god.... I'm not even going to try anymore.

AlgebraAddict 06-24-2011 11:06 AM

:confused::eek::D;)

Excuse me, I have never mastered that, and I am a pretty good poet. it's not absolutely nessacary. it may work for you, but you can leave US alone.

I was trying to help, and no its not nevessary, but it can't hurt.

Kiwara said she wasn't so good at poetry, i was offering advice.

If you're slipping on a skating rink, then grabbing the side railings should help. Maybe it isn't necessary for You, O Born Poet, but it is a piece of advice.

Kiwara 06-24-2011 11:10 AM

Eh. It's like drawing or animating. I make an idiot of myself trying to do something I'm never going to get the knack of.

You can always try, and you will always improve, no matter how marginally.

Kiwara 06-24-2011 11:13 AM

Yeah but it'll never be good enough for me. I'm like an insane perfectionist.


And don't argue guys. Sagar was just offering advice.

L.S.Trendom 06-24-2011 11:14 AM

I think it's good, and I didn't do that either… :p I'm not sure what you mean by meter… WIkipedia is currently confusing me. :o

Kiwara 06-24-2011 11:24 AM

Yeah but you can do that. You have a talent for it.

meter is keeping the same number of syllables with the same stress pattern in each line.

Kiwara 06-24-2011 11:42 AM

I am really bored.

Kiwara 06-24-2011 11:43 AM

Awe man. I missed the 16-1-16 post. Oh well. Have to catch it with seventeen.

Kiwara 06-24-2011 11:45 AM

Meh. That sun better stay out or else.

L.S.Trendom 06-24-2011 11:45 AM

Oh…


I broke something, apparently. "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 86108 bytes) in /var/www/kidpub/forum3/showthread.php on line 1265" :p

Kiwara 06-24-2011 11:46 AM

What is that for?

Your comp is using too much memory. Do you have many other programs up?

Kiwara 06-24-2011 11:49 AM

I wonder if I'm going to write today...Probably not. I'll just get mad, delete the document and throw the computer out a window... Repeatedly.

Kiwara 06-24-2011 11:50 AM

Oh yeah the memory part would explain that...

L.S.Trendom 06-24-2011 11:54 AM

Not really… There's a word processor and iTunes. It was on Writer's Block, though…

Kiwara 06-24-2011 12:20 PM

Then you reached the max for something. I don't know.

I love that line, Kiwara!! :3
And yes, keep the spray bottles out. But, neither you or LST are on at the moment, so I celebrate. XD

L.S.Trendom 06-24-2011 12:46 PM

*cough*

Kiwara 06-24-2011 12:46 PM

Back.

SilverRipple 06-24-2011 12:47 PM

Kiwara's alright back. xD
Stay away, LST. :p
Got the spray bottle?

Kiwara 06-24-2011 12:48 PM

Yep. I sure do.

L.S.Trendom 06-24-2011 12:48 PM

*Water resistant shield* :D

Kiwara 06-24-2011 12:49 PM

That's cool. I'll just change it to acid.

SilverRipple 06-24-2011 12:49 PM

And the bottle is acid resistant. :p

Kiwara 06-24-2011 12:51 PM

Yes.

L.S.Trendom 06-24-2011 12:52 PM

Uh… I have a bandaid?

SilverRipple 06-24-2011 12:53 PM

You'll want a big band aid.

Kiwara 06-24-2011 12:53 PM

No comment.

SilverRipple 06-24-2011 12:56 PM

Great. XD Feeling better Kiwara?
