Do you write poetry?

[SamanthaSamantha's icon]

I swear, every single place I have ever been to had a poetry section (with the goth/punk/alt scene being particularly fertile ground for it), and I deeply enjoyed reading them... but I could never write shit myself.

Can you?

Do we have any poets and poetresses here on RGT? Can we create a Retro Poet Society? That would be fucking cool.

I used to. Haven't written poetry in years.

Edit- Retro Poet Society... would be epic af. If only we had a writing forum... *cries but no tears fall*

 

[facsimile]

Did in the past :))

Yes i write poetry from my dreams:

Time to...
Kick the ball.
Kick the ball
Real-ly far!
Pick the ball
And real-ly hard,
Just with your foot,
Give it your all.

And i view...
It in awe
As it flies...
With an arc,
Towards the skies
In... the park
Like a rocket shot
In... a launch.

And im surprised...
I had it in... my heart,
In my tiny
Toes to impart
So much power.
I hit my mark
And over and out of,
It lifts off!

So time to...
Kick the ball.
Give it a try...
No matter how small,
Cause just with my...
One foot you saw.
Think what you can do...
If you just kick the ball.

A little push
Or maybe over the wall.
Or an entire futbol field
To... the goal.
Over a bunch of people,
Through... a whole
Country to keep going
Out of this world.

But you'll never know
If you dont kick the ball.
First take it slow
Then run with full
Conviction, Go!
No punches pull.
Just kick the ball
And see where it rolls...

And my poetry is copyrighted so nobody try to steal it or claim it as their own. I think a well moderated poetry section would be good to have.

I had never written a poem myself and had difficulty reading poetry.

 

[Far_Firmer_Peaches]

Fortunately for many, I don't.

Spoiler: I made google's little slave write one tho

Oh, lovely shoes upon my feet,
You help me walk down the street.
You are not a cat or mouse,
I wear you outside the house.

One is left, the other is right,
You tie up super tight.
You cost me thirty-two dollars and nine cents,
Which makes absolutely no sense.
You protect my toes from dirt,
So my little feet don't hurt.

You smell kind of bad when I sweat,
And sometimes you get very wet.
Oh, shoes, you are my friend,
Until the laces snap and end.

Reminder, my work is copyrighted. But here is one more:

Recording
Skateboarding.
Get up from your failures, yeah.
Any higher,
You might die, sir
But how are you gonna train then, guy?
Safety first then
Playing hard when
You got a helmet and kneepads on.
Make your turns and
Break on the floor then
Rise to the challenge when
You get off your back.

Cause here's my hand, man
To pick you up again.
You're not alone when
You got a friend, Jack.
And do some tricks cause
You're good at it, bud.
You just got to believe... just
Dust off the dirt and relax.
Because you can stand and
First walk then run, jump
On your board... on something flat
And then do a curve...
Stay steady, dont swerve.
Eyes on the prize... towards the skies,
Then back down, safely land!

And hear... the crowd cheer.
Fear... no more fear.
Weird, no hurts paired
Can keep you Rick
From the sheer... joy, reward shared
When my boy soared in the air.
Every minute and tear spared
Has paid off big.
And dear... there's more there.
Dont steer... from the door staring
At you but near... to the course with care,
Take a chance!
And see... what the Lord prepared
For you and me... cause we're there
For you and we... are friends to bear
Each other up when we slip.
So go out there and lay your tracks!

It pushes a lot from one's emotions, other than being sort of a technique, I don't think I'll get back to it any time soon...

Besides, I only ever wrote a single poem in english. Which is kinda meta (a poem about my process of writing a poem). Any other pieces in my mother tongue, since I can express myself better.

I thought that we had one already

Understandable.

Not for poetry, no.

I wrote few poems in my school age but once i made a deeply sad poem when my ex girlfriend broke up with me
(I was a little bit emo lol)
And if you consider lyrics poetry I wrote some protest songs complaining about my school, rude people my classmates mates and government

 

[LiberoVulpesLiberoVulpes's icon]

Nope, it bores me to no end to both read and write it.

Do you think we could see some of your stuff sometime? I'd love to read it ^^

I write poems and songs, but I've never written anything gaming adjacent.

Doesn't need to be gaming adjacent

Yeah, this.

It doesn't even have to be pro-level, just an honest effort ^^

 

[Zerpina]

Nope, I have no writing skills whatsoever.
