The path through the years
Has shed the ground with dread,
It has pieced together a golden crown
That forever wipes away it's tears.
The peace thats long forgotten
Needles itself within a thread,
To the son that was begotten
When he kissed away your death.
So long and old we followed through
The dark chasms of despair,
We meek and peace we stumbled through
To find ourselves were there.
So find the snake that's decapitated
And pinned itself to the cross,
Arose from the ground consecrated
To a world that hasn't lost.
Those who were lost upon the cross
Have found themselves unbound,
To the coming death that has no rest
To the sheep the shepherd found
I think poetry is sacred and needs to be respected. I support the full spectrum of artistic and creative license but poetry needs to be careful and deliberate otherwise it is just lazy and without value.
Poetry should be purified expression. There is no room for lazy.
I don't see poetry as sacred, I don't think a missing apostrophe takes away the value of what I wrote. Each to their own I guess.
The emotion or meaning isn't lost, that's what I care about.
To me poetry isn't something so pure to never let it be tarnished.
It's like the wine conosuiers that have some lofty belief and self importance about the wine they're drinking and how noble and civilized they are. Trying to outdo eachother with the finest nuances and completely make a fool out of themselves.
I find them pretentious and full of shit.
Poetry has the same middle class arseholes that I can't stand.
Poetry is art in the same was as oil painting, cinematography or architecture.
Laziness and carelessness degrades the quality of all art forms including poetry.
I understand what you're saying completely it just isn't what I feel with poetry.
I'll change the grammar errors for you no problem but I'm not some aspiring poet that wants approval.
I do it because I like it but I'm not too bothered by mistake I will make as i do it for myself, my own enjoyment. The title says only a few have read my poems.
Do you keep a collection of your best works of poetry?
