Wrote a poem and would like some feedback. I never tasted true love until i met you, my dove. i was once dark and grim thanks to the life i was in you’ve changed that all and since made me fall. Be as harsh as you find necessary.
couplet poetry always comes across as very juvenile to me
So much good content recently [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/yH7oSl.jpg[/IMG] All my stuff seems gloomy and meh.. I want to draw epic environments but they always feel lacking :(

I never tasted true love until i met you, my dove. i was once dark and grim thanks to the life i was in you’ve changed that all and since made me fall. Be as harsh as you find necessary.[/QUOTE] To me, poetry seems to be a way of exploring language and how you can use words in an unexpected yet effective way; or at least that's the poetry that I enjoy. Take the last couple of stanzas of Grace Nichols' [I]Like A Flame[/I]: [I]his hands soft his words quick his lips curling as in prayer I nod I like this man tonight I go to meet him like a flame[/I] The first stanza plays with the rhythm. By placing what would normally be the last word of a sentence on a new line and without a comma following it the rhythm feels very different. It reads at a different pace and makes you put slightly different emphasis on different words. The final stanza is interesting because it uses strong imagery and gives a vivid impression of how the character feels with simple, not-cliched or overused 'romantic' words. [B]Tonight[/B] I go to meet him like a [B]flame[/B]. Line breaks give emphasis to 'tonight' and 'like a flame', giving them significance. The use of 'tonight' and 'flame' are interesting because it gives us a sense of how the character feels while using very simple words. A flame is warm or hot, gives heat and warmth in the cold, gives light in the darkness, spreads/travels quickly. And yet it does carry some (traditional) feminine qualities; a fragility in wind or rain, etc.
On the topic of poetry, My friend asked me to write lyrics to see what I come up with. [quote]Verse 1: Regail me with your tails, Of open seas and open sails And tell me of your travels round the Earth Shown the dreams of a man, And all he'd seen and all he'd planned Who'd been blind and eyes decayed since his birth No one knows just what he sees, To me he speaks to me he breaths Of his grand travels and of his heroic deeds Yet solitary he, Lived more than you and more than me Taught me to dream and to forget what I see Chorus: Share vision with a man who never had it himself Share time with a soul so strange to everyone else To him it's hard to share a concept with a man who sees And in his own head a world that speaks and breaths Share a journey with a man who'd never left his home Share a story with a man who's always left alone Because he's never seen the beauty of the clear blue skies And you can't imagine the dreams of the man with no eyes Verse 2: To him he knows no form, And in his mind ideas born All floating in the most surreal way And in the ether of his mind, Vanity is left behind With no sense of perminence or decay And you wonder what he sees, Just when he feels a calming breeze Or when he dreams up one of his herioc deeds Though he tries his best to say, His visions I cannot portray Though I can dream it when I forget what I see Chorus: Share vision with a man who never had it himself Share time with a soul so strange to everyone else To him it's hard to share a concept with a man who sees And in his own head a world that speaks and breaths Share a journey with a man who'd never left his home Share a story with a man who's always left alone Because he's never seen the beauty of the clear blue skies And you can't imagine the dreams of the man with no eyes[/quote] Any good?

shutup rusty you're just not poetic enough to appreciate it okay o green named man who doth tower above and cast our post counts into shadow a Rusty man who does sit and talk a lord of numbers and in numbers and of numbers who does have a circle of orange so bright with his name emblazoned in its heart; a shield in the web with spiky shit around the outside come on mate you're not a supermarket special deal

Juvenile perhaps but not due to rhyming pattern

Posted this on the deviant art thread and got told to put it on here: [QUOTE=Rage.;36131967]Don't really know where to post this so I'm just gonna do it here. I'm currently working on a image I need for college, it's a drawing of a character which I scanned in and coloured, I've not really got the time to shade the image for hours so it's quite a flat looking image. I need to put the image over a photo I took of a church interior. So obviously at the moment it looks quite silly because there is a flat 2d cartoony looking image over a realistic photo. I can't find a way to blend them into each other so they fit a bit better. Any ideas?[/QUOTE]
