Topic: Poetic Poems

What poems here in FicPress do you really find POETIC? I mean, it has the usual flowing quality of a true poem, a poem worthy to be called such. Sure, we write poems to express ourselves, but what about a poem that has a rich imagery/ eminence? You know, like poems that really are . . . poems?

There are a lot of people running around calling their work poetry when it's obviously not but then they argue that poetry can be anything, it's just an opinion blah blah blah.

I personally haven't found that many actually good poetic poems. There's a few in my favourites that are: Verb You by Nossovitzky, Red Memories by J. Leanth. Those two are two of my absolute favourites here on FP.

Wow, these people whom you had just mentioned are simply talented, they make me envious! Although, I must admit, I also make poems that are not really worthy to be called such! (I'm such a hypocrite!)

Those two are quite good, not writing as much as they should though.

Anyone on my favourites is good value. I haven't updated them in awhile though.

Also ph 7 by end.or.fin is a huge favourite of mine. I think you would like irishparadox277 as well, quite dark and very superbly done. "Why I'm Smiling for the Girls" is dense and dark but very very good.

Well, I have managed to scrape a few good ones from the degraded corner of my memory lobe (damn school...). A good one is "I Am" and "P.D.S.G.E", or "Psychediliosynopsis based off Great Exorcism".

I think those rhyme rather good, while "Ode To" strays a little bit from what a poem is.

Braqi in my favorites used to have some really great work and if you are about blank verse and imagery Dooley creel is talented...there is the odd star that shines through the smog of angst in fictionpress

What, which one? "I am"? I know, it's short... but I was planning on it being "I am..." but the site won't let me.

I find poems so confusing; to me it's a story, with metaphor and hidden meanings, with a healthy dose of rhythm and/or rhyme. But there are so many breeds. They don't always need imagery though, do they? Abstract, barely understandable poems are fun too. Fantasy poems that make vague sense, or hint at some weird meaning are awesome as well. I have weird taste, so maybe this is irrelevant.

I read both of the poems that you suggested and I think that they are good compared to a lot of poetry I have read on this site, but small parts almost ruin them for me. I don't like the "(doesn't that sound dirty)" in Verb You because it really loses the effect of the rest of the poem by adding that in there. And Red Memories is just very random because halfway through the poem, the topic changes drastically.

Does anyone feel the same way about these two poems?

I agree about the line in Verb You but not about Red Memories because it's the same topic the whole way through, the rose is a metaphor.

I know they didn't change topics. I guess I didn't explain what I mean correctly. I just think that it would have been better if in the poem, the writer could have kept going with the description of the rose.

Ha, that's the exact reason I do like it. If she extended the rose idea it'd be dull, just like a lot of other poetry on here but she puts that kick in it. It's simple but different.

I like poetry that is either always changing every verse or has one consistant theme throughout it.

me too, poems are more fun if you have to think about it for it to make sense. Otherwise it seems just like everything else. For me, anyways.

I like poems where the imagery seems to flow easily into one theme to the other, and you can actually imagine how it could move. So in your mind, you can see the words melt and move from image to image. It's a feast for the eyes, lol
