Literature Please come visit. People get upset, write poetry about it, and post it here. Sometimes we also talk about books. |

The Suicide
come and sit here by my side
we will light these candles tonite
sharpen with your hands these knives
for we will use them to end our lives
pray for the devils in hell
to bless us the angels that fell
grab the knife and slit your arm
show me blood, show me your charm
our blood is staining the floor
soon we will feel pain no more
tonite we will leave this world behind
we will soon be gone to join our kind
demons, devils, vampires our brothers are waiting
to help us getting rid of our heart aching
tonite will be our suicidal night
beside the black candles that shine so bright

Sadly, this is true, but I don't want to herald this poem as a 'winner' by any stretched definition of the term.

If reading this abomination inspires in you any feeling beyond utter disgust with yourself, I doubt very much that you'll ever get anywhere as a poet.

Cute? Koalas are cute. A black-clad teenager waddling over to the institution of english poetry and taking a massive, fibrous shit all over it isn't.

Well, you could have been a little less brutal, and actually given him some pointers. It's not politee to bruise someone's self-esteem just because you've seen better. Give him a list of your favorite poets to study or something. Besides, I always think people trying out a new form cute.

Why should I waste time giving advice to someone apparently so ignorant of poetic conventions that he doesn't realize that cobbling together 'dark' cliches into a mass of sloppy couplets isn't verse? He could have figured that out himself by doing what everyone should do before attempting to write a poem-- read a few.

Uh! You make me so angry sometimes and yet I think he could have used some more experience before going posting one on the forum. *sigh* Do you make every woman you speak to want to beat you over the head?

Want some more advice? Learn English. Capitalize words that start sentences, write out words like "YOU" which is only three fucking letters I might add, and stop putting emotes every two words, you look like a moron.

You don't know English. You suck at it and shouldn't attempt to write poems in it. I don't attempt to write poems in languages I can barely speak, then expect them to earn me praise.

I would just like to point out, to the people who told me to give this person advice, that he's too deluded to even recognize that his poems are abysmal and apparently lacks any conception of what a good poem is.

I think he/she's doing pretty damn well in English considering it's their third language, but that doesn't make the poem any better. I'll write out a list of poets because I've honestly nothing better to do at half past midnight.
Arthur Rimbaud
Paul Verlaine
Victor Hugo
Charles Bukowski
Edgar Allan Poe
Charles Baudelaire
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Dante Alighieri
Alan Booth
Allen Ginsberg
Anne Sexton
Siegfried Sassoon
Seamus Heaney
Ted Hughes
Philip Larkin
Samuel Beckett
Paul Eluard
T.S. Eliot
William Wordsworth
John Keats
William Blake
That's a decent list to get started on I guess.

Thank you JCC I really appreciate your help, and Megeara don't worry he makes me laugh :P and for you Gothicus please I never said that I think my poem is great. I only said that I want you to comment on it. And (don't tell me you can't start a sentence with AND because you can) I am not waiting for you to praise me for my poems, i just posted this poem so that i can get advice to make better ones. Thank you all...
