And that goes for everyone, feel free to come in and just chat about whatever's on ya mind

I'm hungry.

 

[Jennifer C]

I'm hungry.

Lol, have you thought about eating something? That usually works for me

I can satisfy that hunger. The others aren't that simple.

No great tragedy. It just happened to be on my mind when I read your post.

Oh you meant THAT hunger, well if there's anything I can do to help just give me a shout

I haven't followed baseball since they outlawed steriods and cocaine, did they do something?

Nothing involving either steroids or cocaine to the best of my knowlege, but Kurt Schilling is on his way back which is better than drugs imo.

Thanks for the offer. I appreciate it and will keep that in mind.



This need is not one of compromise
though the reciprocity it brings
enhances her experience

One word is chosen over all others
for the need it fullfills
at that time

Purpose driven for this placement
only this word satisfies
an aching need

Thoughts touch tenderly through
other shared realms
for this soul's satisfaction

My body's bonded blindly
with my soul in this
without choice to offer me

But none can touch me,
quiet or sooth my skin's
enduring pang to be desired.

...glad you like it.

...or they can smile quietly to themselves and tuck a part of away for later.

I've come to appreciate the lack of a compliment to equate roughly to the lack of a criticism. If I hear nothing, that's ok too.

My new poet pick of the week

Telepathic Cashier
by dorksicle ©

I really love this poet's work. If you have not yet checked it out, please do. Sometimes deceptively simple, sarcastic or cynical, straight forward tell it like it is, and always in tune with bits of humanity that often go unnoticed or un-noted.

Habitual threadjack

...never mind...

It's alright. Just remember, the Yankees will be back on top--eventually. <g>

or maybe that should be instinctive threadjack?

 

[Jennifer C]

Ok here's what I am thinking, seeing as this thread is not just for new poets but people who would like to learn more about poetry in general I was thinking some of you more experienced poets might like to leave general tips and advice here so this thread can then also become a place people come to learn as well as chat and share their work.

for example explaining all the different forms of poetry like:-

A cinquain has five lines.
Line 1 is one word (the title)
Line 2 is two words that describe the title.
Line 3 is three words that tell the action
Line 4 is four words that express the feeling
Line 5 is one word that recalls the title.

Any tips and advice you would like to leave here would be greatly appreciated

Someone left this link on another thread once, and I bookmarked it, found it quite informative.

Formal Poetry

As for being a new poet and needing encouragement, that'd be me. My older poems are all crap, this I know. I wrote the majority of my poetry when I was a teen, but a couple newer ones I'm really quite proud of. Seeking was a big step for me in my poetry, it showed a lot of advancement, I feel.. then I wrote Sustenance and all my other poetry, even Seeking, just seemed childish. I know Sustenance is far from perfect, but I'm immensely proud of it.. Would love some honest critiques on it, so I can figure out what I did, and what I could improve.

Jennifer-
This is a great idea for a thread.
I was scared to death posting my first poems, and I still get a bit anxious putting them out for public viewing/criticisms. A place to encourage the new poets is a really nice idea!

this is great! When I have time I am going to try my hand at some of these styles. I love Haiku and it will be fun to try some new forms. Free form is new to me so I look forward to becoming structured in my poetic attempts
thank you again for the info
