POETRY.

[fuckrobertfrost.livejournal.com]

Okay guys, I want you to write some poetry about or by your characters. It can be stupid, short, long, rhyming, haiku, whatthefuckever.

Just this once, I will allow you to choose the wuss out option: you can use poems by other poets.

If you don't want to write poems, then name your favorite poets. Or write a screed about why you hate poetry — quite frankly I sympathize — anything, I don't care. This post is about poetry.

Posting this with the relevant account even though I dropped him. FIRST ONE TO POST ROBERT FROST GETS THEIR EYEBROWS SINGED OFF. no I'm kidding he is a fine poet and I greatly admire his diction sob

Nai that is too witty for like 95% of humanity. It's very neatly written and has a good cadence, a sense for when lines should break, that kind of thing. (I AM A POEM EXPERT BTW.) So if the urge ever strikes you to write more, go for it. I'd love to see what you come up with, even if it's just a sometimes thing. Well, honestly, I only spit out bits of poetry every few months, and most of it's crap. Oh, and I was going to say, I always found Katurian's stories rather poetic.

YOUR POEMS ARE NOT CRAP. Don't lie; I saw yours in this thread. You're seriously awesome, poem expert.

But thank you! I guess I shy away from poetry because the rules overwhelm me, even though I dig rhythm and all that jazz. I put a lot of emphasis on rhythm in Katurian's stories (I was trying to imitate the cadence in the actual play), SO I'M GLAD YOU NOTICED. Maybe one day I'll try poetry again!
