poems

Seamus Heaney is really good, i personally think anyway

all poems written are based on love. So love is the inspiration

Not all poems are about love!
BUT yes love & emotions are usually the inspiration for much poetry.
*SMILES*

give me an example of a poem that does not in anyway deals with love

I thought you'd ask!
Nov 25th 2006 (A day not in my life!)

What ever happened to THIS day,
I thought, as I in bed did lay.
The day before it was still to come.
The day after I was all struck dum.
For the day after November twenty fourth,
twenty five never came forth.
Instead twenty six became a fact
twenty five I certainly lacked.
By plane I left Chile, feeling hot
Cold definitely I was not.
By plane i arrived in New Zealand,
Pretty chilly, but a pretty land,
But somewhere over the ocean
Nov twenty five was lost in motion.
The International Date Line
Caused this day to resign.

And another
The day before tomorrow
is now.
Time I need to borrow,
But how?
Borrow tomorrow brings sorrow
Meow!
Tomorrow will always come,
But as right as rain
It won't be tomorrow, my chum,
But today again!
So please do not feel so glum
Today will reign.
Tomorrow always defies
Normal laws
Do not believe the lies
Of the bores,
For tomorrow never dies
And's never yours.

Yesterday always happens
And is passed.
Today always lessens
Everso fast.
But Tomorrow one reckons
will always last.

So Tomorrow never dies.

your poem is either about:
1. love to travel
2. love for life
3. love to play with words
4. love to write whatever
now doesn't talk deals with love after all?

I knew you would say something very much like that!
But neither poem is ABOUT love!

*SMILES*
CLEVER you

ok then I'll rephrase my comment: good poems are all about love

I can see you always like to win any argument!
*SMILES*

not really. I think LOVE is the greatest emotion there is. There is bliss, pain, and drama in it.

well, i read some theosophic poems, that absolutely has nothing to do with love in any manner
me myself am a poet and i tell you , i can just write to you loads of non - love poetry..

love is not limited to this so-called romantic love. Love could be love for something… theosophic poem is about love of Buddhist and Brahmanic theories

no it is about philosophizing the religion has nothing to do with Brahmins and Buddhists..

You got my attention with that poem Chris! It's funny and quite clever - I can see why the 25th of November disappeared :)

Thank you Apaula. Glad you liked it.
It was published in a book about a year ago.
*SMILES*

Do you remember the author?

Yes! Well Yes I wrote both those lol
*SMILES*
It really happened to me lol

Chris Philli! ur a poet! such a pleasure to bump into you every so often here on Zorpia!

I am not really a poet. I just write a few rhymes for fun lol
*SMILES*

No sorry Chris I was being ignorant as usual you are more wiser than me and I should respect your views.
Sometimes I forget how I was raised.

Hey, thanks for your kind words. I think age does not necesarily mean more wisdom. I believe even the youngest person has to be respected, even if you don't agree, and even if they are wrong. people need to believe, not be told what to believe. And I know you have wisdom too, and like everyone you will gradually increase your wisdom by connecting with all sorts of people, young & old. Believe in yourself, but be wise enough to know you can be wrong, and are able to accept that sometimes you will be wrong.
Take care
Enjoy
*smiles*

Very nice...***Smile***
Chris...it is very nice!
I been writing poerty...
and I see here on zorpia
so many want-to -poets
who do steal poerty...
They robb your feelings
and words...

Tell me, you get upset
to when that
happen to you?

I do know that I always
respected you...
You know when I tell you
do not let zorpia change you...
yes, i know that you know what I mean!

Thank you...Chris, please
let the past rest...

I do love your written words, Chris
you are amazing, to reflect feeling
in simple words!

Thank you for listening to me!
Always, free spirit and outspoken,
but always true
Heidi

Thank you Heidi
Very kind of you
*SMILES* * HUGS*

***Smile***
I do love you...Chris
and I do care, afterall
we are the eldest here
***Smile***
We do need to teach our young ones
about life!

God bless you, Chris

***Smile***

THANK YOU!

Always friends Heidi

*HUGS*
There are at least two who are older than me (Both men, and at least two ladies in the 60's)
Yes I like the young because they are not set in their ways, well not TOO much(LOL), and They are afterall the future, just as we were! and still are for a while yet!
*SMILES*

Now watch, if you take away my hahaha's
and the directness I spoke to Chris,
the yes, you have a metaphysical poerty,
that I write about....


It is Highly intellectualized poetry written
chiefly in 17th-century England.
Less concerned with expressing feeling
than with analyzing it,
Metaphysical poetry is marked
by bold and ingenious conceits,
metaphors drawing sometimes
forced parallels between apparently
dissimilar ideas or things,
complex and subtle thought,
frequent use of paradox,
and a dramatic directness of language,
the rhythm of which derives from living speech.

John Donne was the leading Metaphysical poet;
others include George Herbert, Henry Vaughan,
Andrew Marvell, and Abraham Cowley,
John Cleveland,
and yes some were the predominantly
religious poets like George Herbert,
Henry Vaughan, and Richard Crashaw.



Yes,I am a metaphysical poet.


This poets revived their reputation,
stressing quality of wit,
in the sense of intellectual strenuousness
and flexibility rather than smart humour.
The term metaphysical poetry refers to
the works of these poets, but it can
sometimes denote any poetry
that discusses metaphysics,
that is, the philosophy of
knowledge and existence.




***Smile*** Thank you, Chris! Super


Our younger generation can make
the difference and can make
the change that we need.
No, I do understand what you means Chris;
I do admire the younger generation
because they are not set in their ways
like the older generation,
like here in America.



I do not fit in here because
I am very outspoken and
have a free spirit
but I do follow my
given rules, and law.
I do obey God’s Law
and yes, Gods Rules!
That is very important!


We are the people, and a nation
is what it is because of the people;
Yes, change needs to happen before
the people will lose everything!
I do believe there is a hope
in the younger generations to
make the deferens.


The younger generation are
more open, teh speak more freely
more demanding because they see
the troubles and speak out.


People need to stand up and speak out.
People can say it is not my problems.
people can not ignore the problem...
Just see what it came down to now...


hahahaha

Anyway Einstein said,
I do like quote, Chris
quotes are the earlier "Rebels"
of freedom of speech!


Only two things are infinite,
the universe and human stupidity,
and I'm not sure about the former.

hahahaha


Talk sense to a fool and
he calls you foolish.



Nothing in all the world is more
dangerous
than sincere ignorance
and conscientious stupidity.
I do know people are fed up,
and thanks with the
modern technology,
people have more power,
and resources to express them self



Yes, Chris we will be around,
because you and I have spunk!
We have a reason and a purpose!
***Smile***
You are sooooooo sweet, by the way!
Always, admire you, Heidi

Masha Allah...

and God bless you, all!

nice poems time flys by when your having fun. :)

yes always for love but not always for person's love... sometimes love for nature, for things, for your place
here many people used to write patriotic poems in times of war for example or about freedom

she is my inspiration

tupac

i do... i try to take inspiration from random things in life, and not just love. cuz wat if ur not in love at the time? then u cant write.

i write it for myself...only!

I'm my own inspiration

yeah sometimes i like to write.. the world is my inspiration :)

n i dont i like when my husband compose a poem which he rarely does,lolll

I write some poetry every now and then... I really don't have an inspiration, though.

everything around me is my inspiration...and i luv poems...so i make alot of 'em when i am not busy! ^.^

'' when a man rightly see,he see no death,no sickness or distress.when a man rightly sees,he sees all,he wins all completly''....whose inspiration?

I write quite often yes, my inspiration can come from anything in all honesty. I have a group i created as well.

life is inspiration
what happends is inspiration
what ever is felt at that time
is inspiration
magic in words come from the heart
so anything and everything is inspiration to me
anyways thanks for this question
from....D

Well i dont usually write poems but when i do, then someone is meh inspiration haha lol =]

Ashish bro...I wrote this simple poem a few mins back just for ju.
Hope ju like it ...its a dedication to my little bro wid so much love xox.. :)

Ashish
The little angel of my heart,
the little sparkle of my eye.
You have been this wonderful from the start,
as you always reach out for the sky.
You have some qualities I lack,
and you are wonderful at heart.
Keep walking on this track,
and you will end right there with stars.
You have so much more strength then most men,
not just in body but in soul.
Fight back against all fears and troubles,
or you will just fall back into a hole.
you know you can make it through,
and I will always stay by you.
All your great dreams you can pursue,
so take your stand and now decide.

poems of our life...

Your comment reminded me of this song.
The Poem Of Your Life
By Michael Card
Life is a song we must sing with our days
A poem with meaning more than words can say
A painting with colors no rainbow can tell
A lyric that rhymes either heaven or hell
We are living letters that doubt desecrates
We're the notes of the song of the chorus of faith
God shapes every second of our little lives
And minds every minute as the universe waits by
CHORUS:
The pain and the longing
The joy and the moments of light
Are the rhythm and rhyme
The free verse of the poem of life
So look in the mirror and pray for the grace
To tear off the mask, see the art of your face
Open your ear lids to hear the sweet song
Of each moment that passes and pray to prolong
Your time in the ball of the dance of your days
Your canvas of colors of moments ablaze
With all that is holy
With the joy and the strife
With the rhythm and rhyme of the poem of your life
With the rhythm and rhyme of the poem of your life

very good
*SMILES*

waaa........
well yeah sounds lyka song hahahaaa
nd hell yeah its our poem of life
hugs....

i personally dont use people or emotions as inspiration to write poetry. every poem iv ever written has started with a place. the story is imaterial to me, capturing the feeling and look of a place is what i like to do. i think anything can be inspiration, it deosnt necessarily have to relate to a person at all..

nice comments,yea agree

hormonal & chemical reactions & imbalances.

*dark has fallen light has shined
love has grown when hateness has died*

I don't have the talent for writing poetry, but I do enjoy reading it. There have been some beautifully written and mind-boggling ones out there. :-D

Wait, you can read??

Jeebus, Mary, and Joseph! IT'S A BLOODY MIRACLE! :-O
X-P ♥

You misspelled "Muhammad".

*hangs head in shame* My bad, my bad.

You did a great job on "Adam" and "Eve", though.

In a candlelit room, smelling the sweet aroma of vanilla, U take my hand, pull me to your heart and we dance within each other. In a candle lit room, the flame dimming from the burning wick, you softly kiss my lips, looking inside my heart. In a candle lit room, almost darkened from the burning wick, you lay me down make love to me and kiss me one more time..

I write some poetry every now and then. Most of my poems deal with my constant feelings of loneliness and detachment from the world around me.
