Just wanted a place to post some other stuff I've written, namely poetry and little nothings, and things of that nature.

I Dislike Poetry

writing poetry is just so cruel
rhyming, meter and rhythm too
writing poetry is something I absolutely rue

villianelles, rime royals, and terza rimas
trochaic, spondaic, iambic and anapestic
why can't words be drab and rustic?

SpasMoDiC PoEtrY is EveN MoRe diFficUlT
sonnets make me sob.
Poetry would be the first thing I'd attack if I were an angry mob.

you say
I'm writing poetry
well I must protest

if I'm writing poetry
I am scarcely at my best
I quite dislike poetry

and won't pen a word at your behest.
I won't give poetry a cent.
And at the side of the deathbed of poetry
I certainly won't lament.

--------------
Something about the main character from the "Publishers" stories.
Henry Crestview was a regular man. His light blond hair spilled subtly over his somewhat stocky forehead; his vivid aquamarine eyes showing to their fullest under the awning of his bangs. His eyebrows were barely visible, his countenance stolid; yet appearing to hide a razor wit and a light of life. He was not a chubby man; his legs lanky; his arms thin. These limbs concealed a deceptive strength, born from years of safaris and marathons. He was by no means ancient. Yet nor was he terribly young; in his thirties, he has seen life at it's best and worst, the only thing left for him to discern which was which. His mouth was radically serene, his nose well-shapen. All-in-all, he was definitely a mundane-seeming person. Mundane situations, however, were just not his style.

Unusually Light
Assigned to bear a heavy load
repulsed, angered, in backlash mode
giving anything to resist.

Shackled, told to desist
no hope for you exists
no way to bear it with all your might

Your resistance a pitiful sight
whining, thrashing about your plight
you pick up the load, and it's unusually light.

Interesting poem. When you run it through your head just right, it sounds like... Metal. 'You can't kill the metal'. Lol. *walks off*

Lost in Translation

Summer piece, winter puzzle box
the right placement is downside up near away, how it mocks
chained to the spot by tight padlocks
you cannot answer the door no matter how many knocks

no identification found
empty notion is there, but offers no satiation
they and you just ponder and frown
they say there's no proof, but you know you're lost in translation

there's something there, you don't know what
there's a tear, a rift, a paradox, a prime final cut
a sinking feeling in your gut
not lost, not found, it's an unexplainable mental rut

no identification found
empty notion is there, but offers no satiation
they and you just ponder and frown
they say there's no proof, but you know you're lost in translation

Still WIP. . .comments plz.

I'm at least tied with Nich imo, and Gantic, wistress, and zoph are definitely better. :/

But thanks for the compliment.

You're really good, Alt.

You say you're 12?

I must say, I'm beyond impressed.

Your quite good. I expect great things from you...

...why does this remind me of a movie i've seen?

anyways great works man great works, and wondering does sound eerily similar to your 'writers block'. Gosh i cant say it enough.
