Twilight in the Tundra is great one

I'm sorry for breaking the thread, but today I was officially displeased by finding the whole of yesterday's newly published poetry cluster-one-bombed. How does the seed of hatred dare to find a heart so broken to tiny shivering shards to be it's ground of zero tolerance nourished by the millisecond-thriumph of yet another click? Will it take vast emptiness to break it's abyssal promise to flourish to fame, taking part in this stone-cold-troll-hearted game?

To the one on that spiraling path down, take a minute to look aroun', and see the beauty you had unfound.

Nothing notable in the present selections so I'll highlight hellbaby's I Want to Read Erotic Poems. Goes back 17 y but still works

Our buddy and fellow poet Ashesh9 has an audio submission out today of a traditional ghazal which he (bravely) sings for us in the original Urdu. He has also provided an English translation for those of us (me, I mean me lol) whose Urdu is um nonexistent!

You can listen to it here. Kudos Ash for keeping traditional forms alive!

I step a little closer and my hands are now playing with the back of your neck and your hands are on the small of my back, we are swaying slowly

I tried to look at the posts associated with this thread but it was tiresome because the poems are listed oldest to newest. There is not a way to change the search for the newest poems. I left the thread because of it. Today I finally kept hitting the next button until I was able to reach the newest poems. Maybe change that feature to show the newest poems first and then the members might be more inclined to become involved with the thread, just a suggestion.

Just select the last post on the right hand side of your screen to look back through the newer posts...

Hello, I have published a second poem. Here’s one of them. A third one is pending, and I’m likely to write a fourth one today.

Trapped in the Eye of the Storm

 

[BrandonW1985]

Read it. This is serious feedback. Take it as a compliment. In the vein of people don’t comment on a dog taking a shit out of site on the back lawn. They walk on by ignorantly.

You posted. Winner.

I like this style of poetry.

I’m not sure the change in shape especially adds anything.

Were there missed language image opportunities; what are the harbingers of a storm? I don’t mean an actual storm; like your poem I mean interpersonally or developmentally? It is momentous right, you are going through something huge and winning!

Of course my comments are liter hurled from the cheap seats! In applause not condemnation, in gratitude I read what you wrote.

There is a typo second line, it looks like ‘looks’ should be look… maybe?

Voice in the storm you posted and conquered. Now get over here and do the challenges says I, a writer of a single poem posted on Lit.

Seasons greetings Poet! Enjoy ignoring the fuck out of me!

{Don’t forget to like and comment}
Thank you for the feedback. Your writing is far superior to mine.

I read your feedback multiple times, various parts repeatedly.

It’s interpersonally and developmentally I braided them together to be as one.

I should read it again and see if typo sticks out to me I haven’t read it since I posted it, not even the hard copy.

There’s more poems to come, and as I saw this morning, another one was published.

I would like to pose a couple of questions, which I hope you will take as helpful. What, in your mind, is the difference between poetry and prose? And which term do you think would more accurately describe what you have written?

What I write is driven by my own heart and mind because it’s the best way to express my feelings while also keeping my personal life off the website.

I have no doubt that that is true, but that's not what I asked about. The question of poetry vs. prose is not a trivial one.

 

[BrandonW1985]

SI have no doubt that that is true, but that's not what I asked about. The question of poetry vs. prose is not a trivial one.

Oh I’m sorry I answered wrong, SIGH..

Prose is like a regular paragraph from a novel, with complete sentences and a smooth flow.
Poetry, on the other hand, uses special structures like line breaks, rhythm, and flair..

If that is correct, Poetry. But since I’m a stupid student, it’s really Prose...

Anymore questions?!

 

[BrandonW1985]

@BrandonW1985 latest poem Fight the Poison in Life. A reemerging poet as Political Activist and social commentator.

I didn’t realize that I scoped not just my region but across the country too. Thanks!!

Allow me to suggest a different definition of the difference. It's not something as simple as structure. Poetry says something that cannot be said in prose. Poetry employs metaphor, irony, paradox to convey ideas that can't be conveyed in a logical narrative that a computer can understand. Prose can convey strong emotions, but poetry aspires to a type of idea that is not just a feeling.

So it would be better to write a prose style vs poetic style so I maybe able to put more words into it?!

Because I’m using half/half and I need to be more one way or the other...?!

I have read some interesting discourses on prose poetry which I enjoy as I don’t typically write it. And that’s my point. Some poets follow tried dyed and true poetical constructs while other’s simply invent or experiment. Imagine a table set for Xmas with only cakes on it?

Write your own hun, have fun, develop your range. And experiment with past and contemporary stylistic poetic variants. Read, write, give feedback the tried tested and true leap into your own understanding: mine, poems fundamentally are our voices.

Ironically perhaps I recently wrote a poem in the style of SpermFactory

Keep writing Brandon just do, not think. x

I will be making an attempt to visit this post weekly to revive one of the great traditions at Lit.

If anyone else would like to highlight a new poem or two y'all are welcome.


The first poem that caught my attention was

https://www.literotica.com/p/tea-cup-vignette
By NivKumar
What other time-honoured rituals,
Have you sipped on, bone-china longing,
Like pearls stringing on a line of regrets?

The answer never comes.
In its stead, there is another pressing moment -
cicada-tinged afternoons,
and the sun creeping
Across the wall, past the agave
That bends, clings
To the borders of retreating shadows.

~ this imagery is anything but subtle and it takes me away to somewhere in time where memories and moments crash together ~waves on sand


Niv has several new poems out that are worth a read ..... The other new poems that were posted were not my taste in poetry.

I would have reviewed an erotic poem here but honestly they were all pretty awful
