  1. This is incredible! I think I read it about 4 times! Also, love your signature. Great book.
  2. I've been trying to read Atlas Shrugged for around a year now. I just can't get in to it... Starting 1984 within the next day or so... And as always about once a day or so I still read snippets of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.
  3. I love ee cummings. And yeah, he never really uses capitalization in his poems or his name. Want to be confused forever? Read "anyone lived in a pretty how town." My favorite poems of his are " i carry your heart with me" and "1(a... (a leaf falls on loneliness)." He's amazing. One of my favorites.
  4. There is nothing I would love more in this world than to have money to be able to do photography. Unfortunately, my phone will have to do for now. Lovely, lovely stuff. Thank you for sharing!
  5. Oh lord, I take so many pictures with my cell phone.... image removed image removed image removed image removed These are mostly from my school. Hooray!
  6. Flies crawling through your hair Limbs disappearing into the air Following all your paranoid Catechisms, slipping through the void. Body's humming with things gone The figurative dropping of the bombs Strained eyes searching through the haze Hiding light and darker days. Lying, covered in the corner Why didn't anyone warn her? The ground is smoldering, scenery is maimed Destruction will never want to change. And all your skin's stretched static and tight, The little one's screaming, trapped inside. ----------------------------------------------------------- My first attempt at rhyming.
  7. Wow. Powerful. Incredible. One of the best things I've read in a while.
  8. "And the show must go on." Lovely poem, great closing line.
  9. That's usually what I have to say about my stuff. It just pops into my head, and only after I read it do I decide if it makes any sense or not. I have never been able to rhyme without getting cheesy or contrived. You escaped both! Definitely impressive.
  10. "Because we travel on, unravel from The things we fear, what we've become" "We learn from what we've learned before No need to question anymore" Love it. Love the cadence it has, love the truth in it, the finality to the end. Famazing.
  11. : D You're too nice. Im glad you're posting your stuff! I like. Keep it coming!
  12. Very true. People are more comfortable posting about their boyfriend's ED in the bedroom than their poetry. Very strange. I figure there isn't much harm in just putting it out there. No one knows me here anyway, and poetry is art, and meant to be shared (usually). Thanks : D
  13. But it made me feel better to write. Your playground is melting Fine sand and coarse edges A fire in your temples And grass under your clouds. Your motions are playing on pause The color sliding down your spine A needle chasing your threads The bodies are piling up. There's a flag through your heart now Muscles gasping around mutilated scenes. Mark another one for the ground Claim another for the ashes. The body count is rising So pull your head out of the pool Crack the ribs and find your place Its just another stepping stone.
