 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

Take me back to the time
when things were simple-
when playing football in the street,
king of the mountain & marco polo
was such a blast-
Take me back to the time
when things were innocent-
playing marbles in the schoolyard
with the rest of the boys & girls,
barbie dolls,army men & matchbox cars,
Yeah,those were cool back then~
Take me back to the time
when good feelings and laughter
spilled from everywhere-
Grandma knitting,Grandpa working with wood-
homemade this and homemade that~
Kickball,soccer,dodgeball,climbing trees,
coloring books and pick up stix..
Yeah,those were cool back then.

Time...Where did you go?
I miss you so.

Nice poem--but it is not by you.

In fact, many of us older folks probably had to memorize this poem, or part of it, when we were in school many years ago. I know I did.

Onderwerp: the highway man
this is a poem- the wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees, the moon was a ghostly galleon tossed up on cloudy seas, the road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor and the highwayman came riding,riding,riding the highwayman came riding over the purple moor.

he had a french cocked hat on his forhead, a bunch of lace at his chin, a claret velvet cloak. his pistol butts a twinkle, his rapier hits the twinkle under the jewwled sky.

This deep forever love...
is it real?

Can it be all I've ever needed
more than i can feel?

To know you
to see you
just to watch you from afar

what joy
my heart aches
my love actually grows
stronger
more vibrant
daily

Is it possible to love this much
will it break my heart
tomorrow
forever

until the sands of time
run out

And as I watch you
you drift further from me
I will never leave
because
for you
my Son
my Love only grows...

Since the subject is love, does this mean specifically romantic love, or does it include friendship and other types of love?

Onderwerp: Posting in other languages
I see no reason why a player can't post in his own language if he chooses, knowing that the majority of readers will not understand . . . it might even be an opportunity for others to post their own translations!
Personally, I love the cadence and resonance of German verse, even if I don't get all of it.

to Stardust: to translate a poem is about the hardest task at all for a translater. Will English language poems then also be translated into German, the widest spreaded native language in western Europe?

Onderwerp: Re: Two questions
Tuesday: Yes,because it's a Valentine's Day contest,the theme should be centered around love.
If all goes well with this contest perhaps we'll have another one after the 14th to include any theme

Entrants are encouraged to submit as many poems as they like. A poet's favourite may not necessarily be their best.

Sumerian: For anyone considering submitting an original poem for the contest in a language other than english,might I suggest an english translation accompany it.
I know the english translation will lose the effect of the original,but I'm sure voters will bear that in mind when voting.

to Radiant 36 9: a) "Yes, this board is international, but we mainly communicate in English" ==> as you will have noticed, I communicate using the English language as good as it might be possible for me. But my question was not targeting the way, how a poem should be discussed, but how it should be written. I am convinced that it is very hard to write a serious poem using not one's own native language.
b) "It should only be allowed to post own stuff. --> is that a question or a remark?" ==> both. This is my opinion, and I wanted to know, whether that is handled here that way.
