My poetry (Beginner)

My poetry (Beginner)


Hey, I have recently started writing poetry (as my girlfriend wanted me to try it as she loves it). I have written two poems so far, they aren’t great but I like them.


Cave


Alone in the cave I wander
This cave has been my home all my life
Throughout life my only companion are my emotions
I have trekked the same trek I have done my whole life
No matter how fast I run I am haunted by the four ghosts, sorrow, regret, anger and frustration
Every time I see them they appear in different forms
I am doomed to a life of being haunted


As time goes by the darkness clears
For the first time in my life I can see
A blinding light reaches out to me
A freak rush of adrenaline bursts through me
I dash towards the light
A princess appears from the light and starts to sing
At once the cave is flooded with light and life
Trees, plants start to grow, a lake even appears
I turn to the princess and say, "You have saved my life"
The princess has made me see how beautiful life can be


Mystical Forest

Thrown into the mystical forest I wander
I see grass, trees, a huge enchanted lake and a unicorn
This place is like nothing I have experienced so far
I wander through the grass and past the trees in search on an answer
I reach the lake, I touch the water, and something angelic flows through me
Suddenly I am lighter than air itself, I sail through the air at the speed of light
Gracefully I land on a tiny island in the centre of the lake, there a see the unicorn
I approach it, and as I do I feel a rush of warmth circle me, I suddenly love life
I ask the unicorn what is happening to me and why I feel like this
The unicorn replies “You are in Love”

re: My poetry (Beginner)

hmm... They seem to be slightly more like descriptive passages that poetry

Try to remove some plot. Plotted poems are usually incredibly long, an example being the Iliad or the Oddysey (sp?)

But that's just my opinion.

I liked them, keep writing,
but I agree, you could reduce plot.

re: My poetry (Beginner)

This one is short, I wanted something with more flow and to sway away from love. I may edit this one later on, this is it so far.



My Light

It started with a sparkle of light
Energy is being fed into it by night
I am filled with burning desire to never lose the fight
Sometimes I am that overconfident I always think I’m in the right

re: My poetry (Beginner)

One interperetation of your last poem, My Light, could have multiple meanings.

1. The Devil is born in heaven, (a sparkle of light)
He is feed by evil, which is often personified by night.
You are fighting the evil in yourself, and don't want to lose.
You think you are right and he is wrong, but are overconfident, and could be wrong.

2. You are born. (sparkle of light)
You like the night, and find yourself more awake at dark hours
You don't like to lose
And think that you know everything.

3. The world is given birth (sparkle of light)
The world is filled with evil men. (night)
Human nature does not like to lose
We always think that we are right, but sometimes can be overconfident.


There are other interpretations, and if I knew you, I would probably have a better guess at what you meant with the poem.

Thus is the beauty of language.

In regards to relationship, the beginning brightened your life, made you feel more confident - perhaps a bit too confident, you do not want to be wrong and feel like a fool, you never want to let her go, and perhaps a slightly sexual connotation that your best times are in the evenings and night (wahey dude )



In regards to life, as soon as your life began, you are always on the go. You enjoy sleeping and feel good afterwards, you never want to be wrong, because you don't like the feeling, you are confident in yourself, but fear becoming arrogant.



Ps. still having damn Windows Explorer problems -.-

re: My poetry (Beginner)

The poem is about my desire to succeed in life.


It started with a sparkle of light
Energy is being fed into it by night
I am filled with burning desire to never lose the fight
Sometimes I am that overconfident I always think I’m in the right


Line one: My ambition started small
Line two: My ambition grew
Line three: My ambition causes me to never back down and succeed.
Line four: My high ambition can sometimes make me to over confident.


Edit - Shane we should get Sophie to make an account and post her poems up, she has 100s.

re: My poetry (Beginner)

Yeah, I've read some, not reading all lol too many, and too much rhyme.

Could be cool, she'd have a big thread on here. You read her most recent?

Also, I forgot what I was gonna say. So nevermind.

I was looking too deep for hidden meanings when analysing your poems Let me know when you are both out, we'll hang just us 3

re: My poetry (Beginner)

I just read over it and realised the whole rhyme thing is a bit tacky and over used. I still like what the poem represents though.
