Some Of My Old Poetry

[Capricorn_is_Goat]

EDIT: I have a bunch of other completed ones, but i've been posting what i think are the most comprehensive.

 

[DunkeyKong]

More Poetry! Her it is! Since people on here seem to like it:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENTRY 6


i.

searching for a haystack

inside a bin of needles

to reach down further

what would I find



not even y2=2px

is perfect



oh

something must be easy

if so it is useless

or else is disregarded

as mundane



the self

an answer looking

at things

(to which I never know the words)

for inspiration



hope perhaps

sometimes never

never ending



only the clock keeps a steady beat



ii.

Saliva dripping smiles

obsessing

obsessing

obsessing



nothing



iii.

Ha

while my back is turned

who am I?



(who do I think I am?)

A caravan of cogitate

I am no las caux

I am no model auxiliary



auctioned

gem

a diamond in the rough perhaps



a geometric fractal

I am no one’s paradigm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

DANDELION


i am beside the red rose

steadfast

elegant

popular

wet

vanity

is a bitch



my only release

regression



slowly

slowly

slowly



to the scene of the crime
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NULL BROOCH


I am a forbidden signet

a midnight stone

in a nightmare river

draining



I am a holy leviathan

tearing with viable certainty

infecting

undeniable

(doing the right thing)



I am a null brooch

sinking secretly

through layers of earth

decomposing



I am an oversold tome

feeding new life

while Gaia waits

while Gaia sleeps
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So that's it for tonight folks. I have one other block of actually completed poetry I will post (hopefully) soon, and then I have a whole lot of that are considered "works in progress".

Since ppl have been asking for "new" stuff as well, after my next block of finished older ones, I'll start reworking the newer stuff which goes from about 2013 onward. Probably not new by time standards, but new by my standards, and all of it is mostly done. So I will still have that original intention associated with it, once completely finished.

Well, I hope you enjoyed these 3. All of my old stuff all ran around a few themes. (Prolly the new stuff will too. haha!) Until next time poetry lovers, Stay thirsty!

TY @DunkeyKong I'm glad you like them. You and @MistHunter seem to be my loudest poetry fans. It's much appreciated. Keeps me wanting to post them. :)

This is great man, I like the ii part lmao. Great job once again

 

[Capricorn_is_Goat]

Beautiful as always. Your use of repetition really adds a sense of unease, like the narrator is barely keeping it together...it kind of breaks my heart that that might have been the case for you at one time.

that's actually a poignant thing to say. That's what i actually felt during that time- like i was just barely keeping my life in control.

[Capricorn_is_Goat]

So, my old poetry plan got a little jumbled up, or tossed out (IDK at this point)

anyway, here is a brand-new one. i know a few folks have wanted to see new material.
well here one is! i just made it tonight, then did a little, superficial editing for dynamical clarity

what do you do
when you've lived the Academic Life?
the page-by-page, number counted, perfectly spelled life
and it's all you know.

i'm told:
structure is important
clauses, phrases, grammar

so, i hone it.
put in the finest words
the sharpest alliteration
because You-Want-It-To-Be-Good
and because you're being Graded.

Life always finds the most optimal ways to Grade, don't they....

hm? but what's that....know your audience?
...but i don't know who i'm speaking to.
i don't know who will read this.
i don't know what they know.

what they don't

how certainly can i pass then?
how certainly can it be palatable?

the answers are, of course
You Are Not.

despite your best:
you're too wordy
you're too confusing
you're mixing up participles
...and that's it.....

the audience you thought you had
is gone.
gone. gone. gone.

until your next Assignment comes
and your Ink is still very Fresh
and your Quill has become very Fragile

new poem. it's sort of a sister-poem to the previous one, but can be it's own as well:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Next Day- Monday Morning
----------------------------------------

from a Graded
High

from gray-high

in twelve
straight
lines

last and always Last
Little Madeline

dusty, Dusty, Rusty
Sterile, Horny, Ruddy

Rudely

……...tick, tock

Everyone is a Locker
Tight

perhaps.

I simply don’t know the combo
some grease
Elbow

to the Way
That hallway
the Bi-Ways
and Sex Ways

Sexy

………tick, tock
a Late Lunch Clock

I think I’ll sneak One
in
The Boy’s Bathroom
instead

 

[MistHunter]

Amazing as ever...! _

another new poem. Hope all of You enjoy!
----------------------------------------------

Reciprocate
-------------------------------------

It was there
After

the disperse crowd
the popular crowd
innate….

they looked around.
they looked exited.
they looked curious.
they were new.

new.
New. New. New.

pretty subjective
at the onset.
New to what?
New to whom?

new to me
(I wonder if they see)

the lights.
Shiny.
The Lights.

Perhaps
I was only in the dark
I was.
I am.
I cant see why.

But there they were
and
there I was
and
there was talking

…..there’s talking
there’s me talking.
Only
Me
Talking

…
it was intense.
That Glimmer
I hoped

hope. Hope. hope
Shine. Shine. Shine.

A veneer
I was slowly Rubbing away
they didn’t say why
neither could I

because we were there
for a time
small

I thought it to be a Reciprocate
instead
A Delay
instead
A Run-Away

I was there after.

the disperse crowd.

the popular crowd.

Innate.

A desire to be a part of something, but every time you find your place it never seems to last. I get it. I dread the day this forum shuts down or just becomes dead, the archives a time capsule of who I was to people who may or may not remember me.

Shhhh... Don't discourage her, IyoTheHelpfulWolf.
(I want to see more of ther poetry!)

 

[IyoTheHelpfulWolf]

I wasn't discouraging her. I was expressing how the poetry made me feel and think. Trust me, Capricorn gets what I'm saying, and will likely be encouraged to write more poetry because of my input. But I'm glad you also like her poetry. Hey @Capricorn_is_Goat you have two fans talking about ya!

I'm relieved, she is good being a good poet...
Sorry, IyoTheHelpfulWolf...
You have a point.

She is a good poet, and she deserves to be readed!

another poem. it's all because you all keep me at it! :D
--------------------------------------------------------------
Notification 1-2
-----------------------------------

I sat along tree
beside a shady grove
where writing likes to dwell

a place in space or time
a juxtaposition sign
an insane criminal crime
where no one really stays
or says good bye
farewell

then goes back to their homes
where they seem to rather be

a place away….
There’s something else to say….

Is it really much at all?
To simply be there read
or are we simply dead

just listening to that bell:
The Next Notification Spell

another new poem:
-----------------------------------------

Risky-Tricky
-----------------------------------------
what’s the very risk
Very. Risk.
very risky….
Risky
risky

risky

quite tricky.

and what to say or do
say…..
“to express In words. Declare”
I Declare:

too much.
Too much.
To
Much.

...then
where does the balance go?
Who determines it so?
And what does it mean?
At the end

is there ever?
an end of course…..
“Very Right. Very True. Miss Mangle”
“That’s what I always liked about you.”

(now shut the hell up)

and what does it mean?
To Say?
To express?

I can do that!
(now shut the hell up)

When is it Never?
When is it So?
When is it Clever?
when to simply Go

and who determines it so?
and what does it mean?
At The End

Next
-----------------------------------------
There was one time:

….um
you mean

“Once Upon A Time”

no.
that would mean
it’s not real.
It’s always Too Real

Really.

….and so
much to say

much.
much.
Much.

And never enough
ah look!
The Snow!

What a Happy Distraction….
Now back to Life.

That car goes
going.
Going.
Gone.

I wish I went
I wish I Go

so….
That’s right

those words:
inscrutable
insusceptible
peerless
happy?

All wrong.
Wrong.
Wrong.
Wrong.

Again!
Ahem:

obvious
devoid
manner

that’s it?

---------------------------------
Indulged

They say

I can’t say…..

I’m okay
I’m fine

Not too much

Too Good.
I’m Full.

@MistHunter :
i prefer the reader makes their own interpretations on my poetry. it's part of the fun i have with it! and it helps me get an insight to Human Mind.

I originally intended this to be of more my usual style, but i found it too important, and chose this method instead.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
One day a person might realize that the beliefs they knew simple weren’t true.
It’s like a wearing a mask or a carapace; a snake outgrowing its former mold.
The cracking is subtle at first, and then the chucks and old growth begin to fall off.
And some parts you thought were important might go away too.
Really anything is possible- especially then.
Reliability and sensibility are flung to the dust. Then there goes those old crutches.
Then panic really sets in.
Those support systems that got you this far are now outdated.
Or they simply were just broken and ineffectual in the first place.

As the fog begins to clear
and you begin to wipe the blood and dust away
you seem to be alone.
You seem to be afraid.
You seem to be new.

That giant-but-not-so-giant world unfolds
into a landscape you passed through once
but is not no longer recognizable
Everything is stark.
And you no longer have a working compass.

and another:
------------------------------------------
One time.
i was walking Along
dusty.
by the Ocean of Tides and Binds
the lapping waves
waving
Wavering.
not to Slip.
To that fathomless place
just outside the Time
Something granular
Something greater
Intangible.
Unattainable.

That Blue Sky
Those Small Pebbles
The Endless.

Of those days
Long, Gone and Dried Out

what is there to speak of?
who is there to hear?
do they want to?

You don’t seem to speak much of Yourself.
The relevance of that is:
I don’t know myself Too often

---------------------------------------------------------


Waves
---------------------------------
so the Night comes around
I blame the Moon

She-Waves

an indelible twist
that day-to-day
To night
tonight

every
night

those little Ghosts
those little Whispers

Will-O-Wisp

will it stay?
Today?

In the tall-pine shadows
those little animals
nestle in

they have a Home.
I have a place to dwell.

…...those thoughts:
maybe I’ll be Warm
maybe I’ll be Full
maybe I’ll be Safe
maybe
will someone visit?

Hardly
Never-Ever
ever
ever
ever

every

----------------------------------------------

Main
----------------------------------


In darkness lo
low

…..the roots connect
…..a crescent moon
......a windy dune

on the mountain
high. Sky.

A runic sunshine
run. I .c.

the temperamental arrow
narrow
sorrow

feather
whether
neither
nor

not any more

the rain. The rain,

falls….
Mainly…..

Main.
