Rhythm and Flow

I've always loved a poem that had a meaning or purpose, balance, melody, and actually rhymed. Somehow without these key elements I've always felt that something was missing. I strive to create that feeling through my poetry, that feeling that only something that was written just right has the power to bring out of us.

This is a new one that i just finished earlier today.

Rhythm and Flow

Where to turn

- Where to go

---

With so much spinning

- Out of control

---

Rhythm

- Rhythm and flow

---

Open up

- Let it go

---

With paper and ink

- Calm the restless soul

Don't forget to vote on that poll I posted a few days ago. I really want opinions on that. :)

Poetry: The Pen is Mighty

Hey everybody... Just getting up... I hope its not as hot today like it has been... Its been crazy... Had a nice rainstorm though... Some pretty sweet lightning and the rain was definitely refreshing... Does a storm like that ever make any of you just feel like getting out a pen and paper? Well it does me...

I don't know why but i find that poetry is more powerful than any form of speech... Well not just any poetry... Some time you come across a bunch of words that just rhyme but have no real meaning... In my opinion, that is not poetry... To truly be poetry a writer needs inspiration to write or it's just words... That is why I consider poetry an art form... Poetry requires thought, meaning, an idea... It doesn't really matter what that idea is, it could be just about anything... But there is just something about poetry that has the ability to awww any reader, assuming it is good enough... Like a wow that's deep, or huh I never would have thought of that... I hope what I write has that ability...

Dreamworld

Living in nightmare,

One day to be there,

Some say, "This isn't fair,"

I say, "I don't care."

-

All this will mend,

When it comes to an end.

-

All will be unfurled.

We're just living in a dreamworld.

Destiny

The demons on our shoulders ever restless,

They say we're such a mess.

-

Why do we argue and why do we fight?

It is only to their delight.

-

Is it really that hard,

To keep pushing forward?

-

Win or lose,

Our hands alone will choose

Who Doesn't Like Poetry?

I don't see how a single person on this earth could actually say they hate poetry. At least somewhere deep down inside there has got to be at least a seed of liking for some form of poetry, even if its not what we normally think of as poetry. I've heard many people say that they don't like poetry or poetry is for the weak. But to be honest most of those people have probably never tried writing for themselves. Idk. Maybe poetry isn't their thing but writing is one of the best ways I've ever found to get what I have to say out rather than keeping it bottled inside. Its on paper or the computer screen in front of you. And even if you never share what you wrote with anyone it makes the world seem brighter and load you carry just a little bit lighter.

Well thats enough of a rant for today I think... How bout you? lol

Anyways. Speaking of poetry, I found a few more older short poems.

Head Games

Fantasized, Dramatized, Reanalyzed

By the mind; Victimized

In the corner timid

Thoughts all too vivid

Love, Hate, Confusion

Is it all an illusion?

The Storm Inside

Storm of emotion

Like a raging ocean

Inside of me

Churning and burning-

     Unceasingly
