FIVE POINTS
This concrete condo is not my home
with its asphalt floors and five star rooms
that are chilled by frost in winter.
No leaf bursts forth from beneath the bud,
nor grass-blade grows...
Stephanie Meyers? This is what I think of her:
The next evening Phoenix and Byron caught the direct red eye to Los Angeles, with the intentions of spending the following day soporifically...
Thanks, everyone, for comments and suggestions. Apparently I'm the only one who attempted iambic pentameter - most wrote theirs in free verse. I used Shakespeare's sonnets as a guideline and found...
Thanks, Prince. You know your opinion means a great deal to me. I was wondering if I've been so corrupted by Joyce as to become incoherent myself (yes, Ulysses and Shakespeare at once, which is...
some in bed with virtue breed good deeds, (a)
And those with lusty vice beget their shame (b)
True love’s a double dealer , to both it heeds (a)
And bends it’s breaking will to new refrain, (b)...
I love this - it reminds me of another poem - a vague memory of another poem like it, but I can't remember. Anyhow, excellent work, PM! I *really* like this one, both the flow and content.
I got that - a metaphor. Many people think we are all Jesus - I believe theosophists hold this belief, as well as gnostics/dualists, etc.
Well my dear Prince, I certainly won't argue with you. But try as I may every day I return to Walmart to work, my general disdain for this earth-plague returns. It is hard to watch people with no...
Cog - here are my notes - if you can call them that: (-:
Apollo - Sun god who embodies the concept of kouros, or beardless youth (thus the god who is most closely associated with male beauty). ...
Virgil - I gave you Legos and you built a house. Gracias! Gracias!
PM - thanks for the read. Yes, like you I don't come around here often - mostly because I'm busy as Satan at Christmastime,...
I can't believe nobody has commented, and my friend told me it sucked! Have none of you the required intestinal fortitude to say "it sucks"?
I love both, but especially the first, since it compares the divinity of Christ with the common filth of this planet, humanity.
I am especially fond of people, as you can see. (-:
I should title it that.
You are
An Apollonian delight to the eye,
A divine revelation to man,
Your hair
A million honeyed velvet strands
Foretelling days of Spring
Do I slit my wrists now or after it's all over? Lovely poem but it is rather bleak. No hope?
Suggestions / Criticisms / Where might I edit?
I love it!
A chat betwix my 20 year old Chilean lover and myself resolved into something like this. Edited for rhythm / flow only.

Hello my beautiful man. Welcome to Litnet.!
I'm a Hegelian, so I see both sides of the fence (possible/necessary). What I want to know is the psychology behind hating people with religious beliefs to the point of labeling them "mad". What...
Fantasmagoriana has a significant place in the history of English literature. In the summer of 1816 Lord Byron and John William Polidori were staying at the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva and were...
I came; I saw; I died.
For some stupid reason, I am struggling with my verb tenses in this paragraph. What I am trying to show is a progression in fashion choices that reflect character, ie
