 Poetry

An outlet for players whose creativity extends beyond the board. Post your original works here!

The posting of song lyrics is not the purpose of this board and as such please refrain from doing so. Exceptions can be made to this rule if you are the copyrighted owner of the lyrics and the lyrics are not found offensive by the majority of the population.
This board is a place to post your original works of poetry and prose and also a place for discussion of poetry and related areas.

We have received word from Fencer that other's poetry can be posted to this board. These are the two conditions:
1) When someone posts a known copyrighted poem, he must add the author's name as well
2) If the author is not known, the poem can be posted without problems

Good homes for kittens

A tabby?
Mabbie

A tortoise shell

A manx

This house
this house now your away
missies you more each day
Its evry little room
Has its own special gloom
The handles on the doors
wait for a touch thats yours
The sofas and the chairs
long for a seat on theirs
This house with only me in it
misses you more each minute

The staff room
The staff room is a mistery
whose door is always shut.
Its not the sort of place for me
Its where the teachers like to be

O čem je toďten plk: Part One
He raced to the phone
It's rings calling his name
Would it be her?
The one he's been waiting for

Hello,sir,would you like to participate in a survey?
Free gift certificates for all who do
Uh,no thanks,he whispered
his heart thumping in his chest,as he hung up

He checked his e-mail once again
Still nothing
Nothing
Not a word

The walls of his lonely apartment closing in on him
as he crept to the couch and picked up the remote
Infomercials,soap operas and news
Click...Off

Silence greeted him once more
Silence and loneliness
How long would it be this way
How long til he found her

Ding Dong...the door bell
He races to the door
Only to find a salesman
He closes the door in his face

Why oh why was he alone?
Where was the life he'd dreamed of
The happiness he craved
The woman he loved.......

O čem je toďten plk: This ones for Winnie
One bright day in the middle of the night..
Two dead boys got up to fight..
Back to back they faced each other..
Drew their swords and shot each other..
A deaf policeman heard the noise..
Came and shot the two dead boys..
If you do not believe this lie is true..
Ask the blind man,he saw it too!

Not Elysium

Is this Elysium?
Am I abstruse?
Maybe the world is dichotomous?
No where am I welcomed
Order fighting dis-order for dominance
May the stoic gain a soul
Aberrant is what I am labeled
Did he expect this is what I ask?

I know you're magical,
Honest, maybe rastered (sometimes)
Let the whole of Babylon uprise to sample
Drifting past with their master
And his unknown plan (but)
If you know it's out there
(And for you)
Have the nerve to take it home.

Cold Reality

Hate is Love in a way only friends show,
Cold stares linger in the walls of deception,
A broken soul to wither to dark skies
The reality seeping through my mind,
Clashing hearts,
Yet one of a kind.

Crucified words
To the point that nothing
Means something.

O čem je toďten plk: The Riddle of the World
The Riddle of the World

Know then thyself, presume not God to scan
The proper study of Mankind is Man.
Placed on this isthmus of a middle state,
A Being darkly wise, and rudely great:
With too much knowledge for the Sceptic side,
With too much weakness for the Stoic's pride,
He hangs between; in doubt to act, or rest;
In doubt to deem himself a God, or Beast;
In doubt his mind and body to prefer;
Born but to die, and reas'ning but to err;
Whether he thinks to little, or too much;
Chaos of Thought and Passion, all confus'd;
Still by himself, abus'd or disabus'd;
Created half to rise and half to fall;
Great Lord of all things, yet a prey to all,
Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurl'd;
The glory, jest and riddle of the world.

-- Alexander Pope

Isn't posting poetry, that wasn't written by the person who posted it, a violation of copyright law ?

O čem je toďten plk: Re: A Question...
EIHN: I'm not a lawyer but I think anything that is in print is subject to being copied. As long as it doesn't benefit the copier (ie: financially) it's probably not an issue.
If anyone has anything to add,I'd appreciate any constructive input.

Stardust:

The following is the portion of the U.S. Copyright Office - 'Fair Use' page, that pertains to posting lyrics on discussion boards. This is the law, still in effect:
:


The 1961 Report of the Register of Copyrights on the General Revision of the U.S. Copyright Law cites examples of activities that courts have regarded as fair use: "quotation of excerpts in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment; quotation of short passages in a scholarly or technical work, for illustration or clarification of the author's observations; use in a parody of some of the content of the work parodied; summary of an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report; reproduction by a library of a portion of a work to replace part of a damaged copy; reproduction by a teacher or student of a small part of a work to illustrate a lesson; reproduction of a work in legislative or judicial proceedings or reports; incidental and fortuitous reproduction, in a newsreel or broadcast, of a work located in the scene of an event being reported."

O čem je toďten plk: Re: A Question...
EIHN: Thank you for that but it doesn't really affect this board. The reason for the rule on the Music Board is Fencer doesn't want lyrics posted as it will take up too much space (that's my understanding)
Poems by any author are permitted on this board as long as they include the author's name :-)

O čem je toďten plk: Re: A Question...
Stardust: Excuse me, but the rule for Poetry is the same as for Lyrics. All Poems and Lyrics are subject to copyright law. However, if you look at that post regarding the law, you will see that under 'Fair Use', it is permissable to post ANY Lyrics or Poems, unless you are making money from it, or being derogatory towards the copyright owner.

As for the length issue. This board runs up against the same problem of 'flooding'.
So, I don't think everyone should post giant novels of material, as it uses up everyone else's space.

The real point here is there shouldn't be hypocracy in the Music Board if people are allowed to post copyrighted poetry on this board.

      What do you think ?

19. ledna 2005, 03:50:34
Stardust 
O čem je toďten plk: Re: A Question...
EIHN: The copyright rules may be the same (allowance of material) But the SITE RULE is different. There was a problem with people posting long lyrics on the music board so Fencer stopped it as it was too much. That hasn't been a problem here.

EIHN - look at the top of the music board and there is a rule not to post lyrics. Look at the top of this board, no rule about not posting poems. Different boards, different rules. You can't take the rules of "talk about backgammon" from the backgammon board and apply them to the chess board.

O čem je toďten plk: Re: A Question...
EIHN: The copyright law isn't the issue nor is it the rule.Like BBW said...different boards/different rules. Period. End of discussion. I suggest if you don't agree with the rules of any board you take it up with Fencer. We as moderators don't make the rules. We abide by them and enforce them when necessary.

O čem je toďten plk: Re: A Question...

Any more discussion on this subject can be carried out on the Brainking.com board or Feature Requests. Any ome posts not related to poetry will result in the posts being deleted and the poster hidden.

All dressed in uniforms so fine
They drank and killed to pass the time
Wearing the shame
Of all their crimes
With measured steps they walked in line
They walked in line

They carried pictures
Of their wives
And number tags
To prove their lies
And made it through the whole machine
With dirty hearts and hands washed clean
They walked in line

Full of a glory never seen
They made it through the whole machine
Turn never questioned anymore
Hypnotic trance
They never saw

He's a Drugstore Truck Drivin' Man
He's the head of the Klu Klux Klan
When Summer comes rollin' around
You'll be lucky to get outta town

He's been like a Father to me
He's like the only DJ you can hear after 3
I'm an all-night singer in a Country band
And if he don't like me, he don't understand

He's a Drugstore Truck Drivin' Man
He's the head of the Klu Klux Klan
When Summer comes rollin' around
You'll be lucky to get outta town

He's got him a house on the hill
And he can play Country records 'til you've had your fill
He's a lawman's friend
He's an all-night DJ
And he sure don't think much like the records he plays

He don't like resistance, I know
And he said it last night, on a big TV show
He's got him a medal that he won in the war...
Weighs 500 pounds and it sleeps by the door

He's a Drugstore Truck Drivin' Man
He's the head of the Klu Klux Klan
When Summer comes rollin' around
We'll be lucky to get outta town
We'll be lucky to get outta town...

O čem je toďten plk: I forgot who wrote this but I like it
Comes the Dawn

After a while you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand an chaining a soul.
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't always mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contrtacts
and presents aren't promises.
And you begin to accept your defeats
with your head held up and your eyes ahead
with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child
And you learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.

After a while you learn that even sunshine burns
if you get too much.

So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul
insteadof waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure
that you really are strong
and you really do have worth
And you learn and you learn
with every goodbye you learn. . .

Run wild and free..
the warm summer breeze..
Take all of me now..
then leave with a bow!!..

The sudden life forces..
they tremble within..
Urges of desire..
Known only as Sin..

Capture the essence..
Of romance yet young..
give to me my pentance..
and take of me my tongue..

For desires deep inside..
lure to me your call..
Awaken passions fury..
til then.. when it's Fall..
