Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Poetry is . . .: 9 of 172
Poetry is magnifying the world through the lens of a word, thought the mouthpiece of a throught, through the philosophy of a stream.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Pain: 31 of 378
Pain is comedy. It's the expression of physical and mental abuse, turned inward- reshaped, realized. It's the blooming of the heart and shared belief, there is goodness to every tear dropped. It's the stone which is so absurd, the one which feels nothing, but rolls none the less. It's the waking to a day, where sun shines wh... More..

"Wrinkled paper" Have you not hands carved with experience pitted with prints wrinkled and old? Have you not a mind which has tossed away memories you thought meant nothing?

How many times have you thought, I'd love to get him this, but you thought he'd never wear it. You fall back on the why bother- it's not his taste. Its true many men are very particular what they like, after all there's a machismo to maintain, and the last thing one wants is to be fingered as "a softy". Again and again, wome... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Individuality: 39 of 100
The fighting existance beside another makes you search ever deeper for your fellow brother. When it gets to deep and argues inside, you never learn to abide. Individuality strength from beneath, pushes itself from joy to grief. Content ever lasting time ever brief, Today becomes tomorrow when it's stolen by a thief. More..
Arts & Humanities > Poets & Poetry Does the best poetry come from the heart or from the mind?: 48 of 115
Poetry is the embodiment of the heart. For if the mind had control, it'd delete half of things we wish to say. Passion makes a poem. Passion about love- love of any various topic of conversation, and love as we know it cannot be controlled. The mind is the controlling element. It separates logic from passion. It finds a way ...

September 11th means so much to us as a nation. It was the day we suffered the worst tragedy in American history.

Time erodes memories and although for some it'll never get better, those who were not directly effected may now look at i... More..
