Nicolas Cage never ceases to amaze me with his talents.

[OracleProductionso]

i grew up learning that poetry is so structured and confusing, and i just can’t get away from that pattern of thinking

[rainbowpoems]

I have written this poem
*Address to the Rain God*
I sat gravely before the window,
watching the dark that laid before me
profoundly thinking for a moment or so,
about the Showery world that I could see.
And up the heaven, I looked henceforth
Towards the paradise, till the eye's sought
'What makes him rain such?'
'Brutish he is' is what I thought.
Above the world I looked far end
And beneath came the God of Rain
Thundering the skies and the heart of men
stiffening the shower that had went insane.
I stood there aquivering with fear
for he stood in front of me
and asked me for my remembrance
knowing well that it is he who caused it.
Politely I said with tongue no less,
"This world is beautiful with creations unparallel"
But the unstoppable rains have made such mess
Why don't you stop that you shall!
'It is you the humans', replied he 'who pray for rain'
The rain that quenches the Earth's thirst
Deepening the swift streams that long last
And then calling for it to return to the den.
And Oh! the inner me felt deafeated
But I stood there losing no faith
But that was prime, this is subordinate
"Has the thirst, vanished not yet!"
The rain has caused havoc on crust
The temporary world is biting the dust
Fields overflowed by the tyrant rain
'Floods and rain', are they same?
The king of splashes was pleased with me,
At least what I thought from what I saw
And replied with a strong voice
With the winds added to his draw.
Glad are you, jolly are all,
Happy are you when the rains do fall.
Irrigating the fields, " the mother earth weeps
For the joy, that water beneath seeps.
The joy lasts shorter do remember,
For nothing lasts Forever
and sorrow after joy is a chain of cycle
Each in it's time is completely great
So he told and so he went
Leaving an impression that long lasted
Shaken was I and ended up in faint
Oh the conversation was just what I dreamt.
The story still doesn't end here and I ain't,
For it teaches that nothing is permanent.
Time heals everything, just wait for the day
For joy and sorrow both are great.
Joy comes after Sorrow, misery after happiness
Just don't look behind the eternal fence.
Life is not a bed of thorns, wise men say,
For a man on alms is a king next day

[warishazafar]

When I heard the clouds roaring
I remembered his words
They were soft but harsh
Like the drops of rain
Calmly falling on my window
While my eyes looked outside
Through the edges of my tears
I remembered
The tone in which he spoke to me
The body language that made me realize
I was someone not worth mattering
I wish, I wish I could stop things
At that time
But all I have now, is soft but harsh raindrops


I just wrote first time with 0 thoughts, plz give opinions

5:21 Was that a fart,
as you spoke from the heart?
At five twenty-one in time,
such cheeky a sound is a surely crime...

[sayonichatterjee]

I'm like a moth drawn to your flame
Set me ablaze, but I'd still feel the same
Sitting here, in this hurt, comphrenhending why you won't reciprocate
Maybe our stars didn't cross right, maybe just blame it on fate.

My first ever poem (I'm still working on it)

[kylie]

my first poem lol.

She was claustrophobic
Trapped in those sturdy walls
The sturdy walls of the castle
She was a princess
The most gorgeous princess of them all
I was the knight
I visited her often
I protected her
From all her worries
She trusted me
The feeling was mutual
Until one day
She fell in love with the prince
He was so charming
Something I could never be
I don’t blame her
Thus we were both women

I never got my happy ending



uh yeah that’s my first idea. a lot of poems i see have multiple stanzas or spaces in between the lines, but i’m not sure if and where i need any.

[bugsandbeans]

Taking the pressure off has been so important for me.
I always loved poetry and I always wanted to write poetry but because I wanted to be amazing at it from the start I kind of spoiled the fun/ beauty of it for me.
I pressured myself into writing about big themes such as love and the meaning of life and death. But by doing that I didn't allow my thoughts to flow freely. I realized that for me the only way to write good poetry is to stop trying to write good poetry.
Pressured writing will never be able to make you feel the same emotions as writing that flew freely out of your mind

[Mack-ssjr]

This is my first poem. It may be long, but I felt it was right. Please feel free to give constructive criticism.
||is it just me||

Is it just me?
As I walk down my road of misery and terror
I always think, "could I have done that better?"
All through my life of anxiety and dispare
Was I never good enough for them there?
Is it just me?
Or do you feel this way too
As if when you walk you have to just stare at your shoes.
Never making contact as you think all the eyes are on you.
But it's just the spotlight effect messing with you
Or is it just me?
Having this thought of whether your liked or not.
Its crazy i know but why not, Why not feel the knot growing and growing within your heart.
Aching for love and aching for joy?
Aching for fun and aching for the happiness.
Is it just me or is it you too?

just realized Poe's rhymes remind me a lot of mcr lyrics! i would not be surprised if he was an influence.

[jimbojet]

My favourite sonnet too. I have written over and over in order to memorise it. As I’m not there yet, I keep reading it over, and love it more with each reading. Thank you for this vid, I gave enjoyed it.

[christianthmpsn]

I've played around with some poetry in the past. This is my stab at it

A simple introduction was made
I knew in that moment
My world started to become frayed
And this was going to be potent

I feel my world melt
Safety and security comes over me
For I haven't felt
This free

Flowing through this cathartic river
I see the authentic
I begin to shiver
To this antiseptic

Envisioning a bright new day
I am seeing the way

[dianejones]

I am so stirred with excitement to simply write.

[urmispinky]

This is super cool. Enjoyed your tips. Experimenting is key.

[agoraben]

i just wrote a poem that i’m planning on turning into a song. this is the first verse in the chorus, but i’m writing a second verse in a few weeks. the whole idea is to write a verse right after a break up, and one a few weeks after when i’ve started to to heal.


[verse]

end on good terms

that’s okay i guess

it’s for your mental health

and i want that to be at its best

_

i still miss the little things

that we used to do

but i’m cool with good terms

cause i’m afraid of losing you

_

we talk everyday

like we used to do

but it’s different

god i wish you fucking knew
_

talking to you

has got me losing rest

cause there’s one thing i gotta say

i gotta get it off my chest



[chorus]
cause i’m in love and everyday i fall more in love

but you’re moving on

man what the fuck

i don’t know what to do

man i feel so stuck

yeah we broke up but

you still got me starstruck

[elizapancakes]

I would say I regret meeting you.
But if i could go back,
Back in time,
When the butterflies had yet to be turned to stone,
When i couldn’t imagine you hurting me so,
I would.
A summer sunset,
Nervously waiting in the car.
Waiting to finally meet you,
I have to say, I was not dissapointed.
Your smile just like i’d imanged it.
Your voice just like i’d dreamed.
''If i only knew all the tears you’d cause.''
My head screamed.

this is copyrighted dont steal it thank you.
