Carbuncle.Josiahfk said: »Writing poetry as a teemager eeeep, that must have been.... Affirming lol I write poetry still, some of it is actually pretty good, most of it not so much... it helped me explore my own ideas and mind and express them I appreciate it very much for that aspect. I had one guy in my HS come up to me because I published them in the school newspaper and told me he'd cut out several and put them on his wall and thought they were amazing. He ended up getting valedictorian 2 years behind me in class, and his wasn't the only compliment I got so yah in that aspect maybe it was affirming :) I haven't wrote or read as fervently as I did back then for many years unfortunately which is why I am attempting to get back into it. Something tells me writing forum posts doesn't really count.
I don't mind but I want to read some of yours too.
Here is probably my most popular one I wrote in High School:
I'd like to read some of your poetry if you don't mind. :D
I don't write poetry too much, though I have written some; I enjoy writing stories, though like you, I've grown away from writing, life just gets in the way.
Work, school, children time just gets away from you and by the end of the day, I don't know about you, but I just want to fall right into bed and pass out. lol
I don't mind but I want to read some of yours too.
Here is one that I wrote in High School I think many liked the most of mine:
Love chases me barefoot through the dark rainy streets
I see it blur past the street lights
Hear its labored breathing
Just to touch me
But I wait (and run), when it will last forever.
Just one more night in the open, one more night on the run
that’s all, that’s all…
Then I can be unhappy in my big white house
with my fancy car
and my loathsome job… loathsome life.
All for a beautiful wife;
who’ll probably grow fat, as I do.
Who’ll grow senile and stupid, as I do.
We all grow materialistic
Then I’ll say, “What was it all for?”
The future has empty hands for me.
Who will accept defeat, Who will love denial?
Serve community, do all that is good.
Flood your memories, with false smiling pictures.
So the past is always better
yearn for a better place,
yearn to be first in this race, (Ignore all the helpless people, on the sides of
the course)
Last to Love to be happy?
Couldn’t please everyone, couldn’t even please myself.
Here is one I wrote 5 years ago that I got some kind words for:
Weariness and tokens of distress
A sigh in with open breath,
a breath out with patterned shards
leaving a kaleidoscope of perceptions scattered on the floor
they crunch beneath my feet
each emitting a tingle and melody as it breaks and dies
the sunlight is soft on them
their multicolored brilliance a salve upon my jaded disposition.
I haven't really written much more recently I wish to share. Hope you enjoy it.
Very nice. :) I did enjoy them, but I doubt you'll enjoy what I do, it's mostly romance short stories and I know not many men are into that type of genre, but I'll give it a shot.
This is part of a romance short story of mine, I call it the prologue, so if you don't read it, that's understandable lol.
"You lied to me ... How could you?" she whispered facing away from him.
"Please. Please, just give me some time to explain.."
"Explain?!" the young woman exclaimed with a scoff. "Explain what exactly?!" she yelled turning to look sharply into his tortured blue eyes. "Explain how you lied? How you lied when you said how much I meant to you? Or, how about the night you told me you'd be back soon?" his head fell down at all that she said. "Did you even ever love me at all..?"she continued in a low whisper. At that, his head snapped up and he looked, straight into her fiery brown eyes and said, "Of course I loved you. I always have and I always will. Just let me explain... please!" he pleaded, stepping forward towards the woman causing her to step back quickly, out of his reach, shaking her head.
"No you didn't, and no you don't." she said with a breaking and grave voice, hesitantly looking up at him with agonized eyes. "I... I waited t-two long years for you to come back home... The days seemed like years and the months seemed like decades that drug on and on painfully. Finally, after two and a half, endless and pain filled years, I began thinking you were never coming home and I moved on." she turned away from him and started towards the door. "I bet I never even crossed your mind. Not once..." she called over her shoulder as her hand reached for the doorknob. Before Natalya could turn the doorknob, Xander grabbed her arm and turned her around pressing her back against the door looking down into her agony filled brown eyes. "You forget, my dear," he started as the back of his index finger traced down her smooth jawline gently before continuing, his voice gentle, like a mid-summer rainfall "you forget I wasn't the only one who lied. And you're wrong; you were on my mind constantly. Every second of every single day." his voice was as smooth as molten silver before he bent his head down and kissed her, ever so gently, pulling her back down into the mind-numbing, stomach tightening, heart pounding abyss like he used to.
I don't have many poems, but this one I wrote back in high school for some class project, I can't remember details lol.
Butterflies
Graceful and majestic
With untamed flights,
Dotted wildly with
whisper soft -a
Fluttering wings
~Reflect~
Wings fluttering -
A soft whisper,
with wildly dotted
flights, untamed with
Graceful and majestic
Butterflies

I feel like if someone believes things or not doesn't really matter to me While I don't care(beyond pshilosophical dissertion)what others believe in; the way they conjure and apply said beliefs matter to me. Cause I can't deal with someone who isn't capable of making connections by himself and just swallows whatever he's been told. Could be a good guy and all, but if he is so limited that doesn't have his own ideas I just can't respect them.

Yeah exclusively spiritual music only and E rated games until I was 18, even though they were very poor and I bought everything I had myself /shrug. A lot of spyro the dragoon and gran turismo lol
I dare not ever share literature from my youth though, I was a very angry little dumb delinquent shitbird and it's not quality lol No Mario?

Cerberus.Josiahfk said: »In high school I was tired of the shallow pointless behaviour of the young and intransigence regarding the youth from the non young staff so I just looked up all the hardest classes that would get me set up for all serious paths in life and skipped everything else, opting to run a short order kitchen since I looked 19+ and loved cooking and then manager of a walmart shoes department lol
So grade twelve for example was working full time and pre-calculus and calculus plus English literature and English composition and physics biology and chemistry, skipping everything else Elective wise.
I knew if I graduated *** laude with those classes I'd have no trouble doing anything later in life etc. non-social get in get out mindset. Sure it's tiring but it was "a good intro to seriously tiring real life **** when I become an adult." Etc
And I got to play with my band in L.A once (far less cool than it sounds) so I was fine with settling down and going into the mindset of a 30 year old as I turned 20 lol. "I lived enough craziness"
My major classes I took in high school were AP English Lit. and that was such a huge waste of time, the teacher didn't teach us anything; basically told everyone everyday "pretend you're doing something, just don't sleep."
Though, we did read some of the great books in that class, or we were supposed to at least. The Great Gatsby, Frankenstein, The Allegory of the Cave, The Scarlet Letter and those are the only ones I can remember right now.
I took many creative writing and parenting classes and even a Sci-Fi class where we read things like I, Robot, The Invisible Man, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and The Island of Dr. Moreau.
Math and I do not get along so I took the easiest math classes I could take just to get my credits to graduate lol.

With $10,000, we'd be millionaires! We could buy all kinds of useful things like love.

No, it's not just actions. Like I said even if you were a good guy doing no harm to the world, if you just can't think for yourself I don't wanna deal with you. That is what I meant. I'm not gonna pretend I don't care 100% about these things cause I do to an extent.

To summarize P and R:
I don't have time to read it.
Just give me the gist of it, Son.

Unless I misunderstand even the way he talks to the head of the household (what was it his uncle or step dad? I never watched much) is disrespectful as he puts himself on even footing, he's also allowed to do what he wants etc. Anyway, even if you convince us that it's not that way, pop culture things are frequently forbidden by strict parents. The list of stuff I couldn't see:
1) Simpsons
2) Beavis and Butthead
3) Most Sitcoms
4) Any horror whatsoever
5) I couldn't watch MTV until I was over 13 years old
Most music was also not allowed, my clothes choices were limited, and I had to do chores after school for half an hour after school every day.
In case you didn't know I"m the official/unofficial Simpsons guy.

You were wrong, I did enjoy them :) Thank you for sharing~ You're very descriptive with your prose, it was actually quite well written.
Why thank you for your kind words and thank you for sharing yours as well. :)
I try to be descriptive without going too overboard. I have other ones, that I wrote when I was much younger so they're most likely not as well written, but what I shared seems to be my best, from what I'm told.

I was allowed to do pretty much anything I wanted growing up. Even then I was never a fan of pop culture. But Fresh Prince and Family Matters were awesome.

I always loved both English and Math, I wanted to Art but I wasn't good at it. I got ok at it through pure determination though. In College almost all my electives were English based, World Lit I and II were awesome.
I loved English, Science and History. I took classes like Environmental Science and Forensic Science, my school didn't have many extra "fun" history classes, but I still enjoyed it.
I find it weird though because Science and Math usually go hand in hand, right? So one would think that if you're good in one, you'd be good in the other, wrong lol.

How to treat a woman:

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
