Poetry Discussion - xPICKLEMONSTER - 03-22-2013

Hey, so this year I have been doing poetry in school, and I personally think its fantastic! Not very many people i know like it that much, so I thought I would make a thread to get your opinions and share poems and such. Just a wee idea.

I personally love Robert Frost, but Seamus Heaney is extremely overated in my books (and im from ireland too.)

Here is Robert Frosts' The Road Not Taken

Spoiler below!
The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost

Quick question, how the hell do you make spoilers???

Still havent figured it out after a year of being on these forums.

Now this particular girl
During a ceremonious april walk
With her latest suitor
Found herself, of a sudden, intolerably struck
By the birds' irregular babel
And the leaves' litter.

By this tumult afflicted, she
Observed her lover's gestures unbalance the air,
His gait stray uneven
Through a rank wilderness of fern and flower;
She judged petals in disarray,
The whole season, sloven.

How she longed for winter then! --
Scrupulously austere in its order
Of white and black
Ice and rock; each sentiment within border,
And heart's frosty discipline
Exact as a snowflake.

But here -- a burgeoning
Unruly enough to pitch her five queenly wits
Into vulgar motley --
A treason not to be borne; let idiots
Reel giddy in bedlam spring:
She withdrew neatly.

And round her house she set
Such a barricade of barb and check
Against mutinous weather
As no mere insurgent man could hope to break
With curse, fist, threat
Or love, either.

This is quite nice, who wrote it?

Oh friends, not these tones of pitiful war, death, hunger and putrid pestilence!
Rather, let us raise our rightful voices in more pleasing.
And more joyful sounds!

Joy, beautiful spark of the gods! Daughter of Elysium!
We entered Alighieri's final circle, drunk with the undeserved fires of prometheus.
To rouse you oh heavenly one, From the site of your past sin!
Let your magic reunite.
What custom strictly divided.
All men shall finally become brothers.
Where your gentle wing rest.
Save us from falling like Ozymandias.

Join us in our jubilation!

Not too well versed in it but I do respect it, especially haikus.

This is a pretty great poem btw if you haven't read it.

Somnus :

As It sinks into the Night,

It will catch your Dreams,

Infecting them with the eternal Darkness,

Throwing them into the pit of Nothing,

They shall transform into Nightmares already.



The Black Flame guards the gate of Freedom,

Keeping your soul Trapped,

Preparing you for the next useless Scream,

Knowing your next Thought,

Your last Breath.



It rises,you Fall,

Your Weakness is It's Strenght,

Your mind starts outshining the Impossible,

Blackening the Goddess,

Finally encountering your Paranoia.



Hypnos steals your Reality,

Feeds on your lightless Soul,

Staring into your past Life,

Asking you to Wake Up,

Laughing after.
