Summary:

This work is from the novel, Corporate Samurai "love begets hate, trust begets betrayal, lust leads to death". It attempts to convey the emotions and thoughts, in song form, of a woman Samurai to the one true love of her life--who is also a Samurai. This song is written at a time when she suspects their relationship will not be sustainable, as her lover comes from a much inferior heritage than her own--something her family will not accept.

Hello All, I'm collecting Chaiku poems this time and this is the 8th. Any feedback welcomed. Btw, English is my 2nd language. Thank you for your help.

Summary:

Poem about life also the use of allegories in expression in poetry or any writing. Hope is to get readers who hesitate reviewing poetry to take a leap in faith as there is no wrong way to review if you say how a work 'feels' 'provokes' or if it doesn't. Still good feedback and can help enrich one's own writing. Poetry is not my favorite genre. I don't even own a book of poetry except for my mothers. Only poetry I read in on this site. I write it as do not feel confident in other genres. I too am learning to try though. To stretch oneself is to grow and stay flexible.

Summary:

We are doing a walk next weekend in honor of our son, Brody, who died of SIDS, to raise money for Angel Eyes, formerly Colorado SIDS. I was asked to write a couple of paragraphs for a brouchure...I am no poet; I have absolutely no idea about meter, construct, where to place what. But this seemed to me to be suited to a poem of some kind, so I tried to break it down as such. Any and all comments are welcome. You won't hurt my feelings by telling me what it needs from a poetry perspective--in fact, such suggestions are what I am looking for.

Summary:

This is an abbreveated version of a story my grandfather used to tell many years ago. I just transcribed it into something resembling a poem. As most of you know, I am a HORRIBLE poet! But thanks to those of you brave enough to read this. Its only intention is put a smile on a face or two. Any comments you'd care to make are most welcome.

Summary:

Back in the 70s, I lived in San Antonio, Texas for about five years. I played lead guitar in a country band while I was there. I would see all these guys in their Stetson hats and Tony Lama boots trying to impress the ladies. My guess...you put any one of them on a horse and they'd crap all over themselves. I got to thinking abnout it and wondered when the last TRUE cowboy would eventually disappear. This is what I came up with. Any and all comments welcomed.

Summary:

I originally wrote this as a song back in 2004. It is registered with BMI, my Performance Rights Organization, thus I have to include the original copyright information. I have slightly reformatted the verses/stanzas to fit a more traditional format for poetry. I originally wrote it for my recently deceased mother-in-law. But, as I post it here as a poem, I have Michelle (mishmont) and Dave in my heart. Any comments about the message of the poem are more than welcome. Since this has already been published as a song, technical and structural nits won't be necessary. Thank you very much in advance.

CAUTION: YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO READ THIS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO DINNER, OR LUNCH, OR... Just a silly little thing that crossed my mind. After reading this, you'll probably wonder if I even have a mind! It's totally tasteless and has no redeeming qualities what so ever. But, I follow my muse...she insists! Feedback? Well, if you're desperate for credits!

Summary:

Any comments you have are quite welcome. This is a very personal piece. Although it is written in first person, it is not about me, per se. But, the experiences and the emotions were taken form my personal experiences in Vietnam. I hope I have adequately conveyed the emotions I felt as I wrote this. It is written in my normal straight-forward, simple rhyming (AABB) format. Thanks in advance for having taken the time to read this.

Summary:

This is my very first post. I very seldom write poetry. When I do, it is simple and straight forward. "Turning" is a quick and simplistic look at the various roles we play in the chapters of our lives. As our roles change, we must turn the page and start a new chapter. This started out as a lyric to a song. But, I found it better suited as a poem than as a lyric. For those of you who do not know, I am a songwriter and musician. As far as feedback, I'd like to hear any comments of any sort about this. Is it confusing, out of order, etc? From a technical POV, I'm am fairly illiterate about writing poetry. I simply write what comes to mind. Novels are my strength. But, I kind of like this piece. Thanks in advance!

My Writing Life.... Hopefully a better writer after being on this site and paying close attention to feedback and the work of others. Many have read this already so for those who haven't that might want to. All feedback is welcome. We all have our stories about how we feel about writing and how writing affects us and those we reach out to. I encourage all writer to do this exercise. Why do you write?

I'm interested lately in doing strong brief pieces. Yet, does this stand on its own? Would you change anything? This is on the edge of erotic so I'm warning you now. It doesn't cross over but it is close.
