Poetry Personified

After discussing this at some length with Milla, we've come to the agreement that it would be interesting to start a sort of mixed poetry and artwork game.

She's suggested that I post some of my poems here, and allow our artists to draw their impression of the poems.

So, read the poems, choose the ones that catch your attention, and draw them how you see them.

Post the poem title that you have chosen along with your picture when you've drawn it, and I'll try to get my brain into gear and write some more........

Till Death Do Us Part.

Promises tumble all to easily from your lips.
Vows? They cascade rapidly towards the floor.
I don't I believe you any more.

Apologies leap from you like fleas from a dog.
Regrets? Assurances from you there will be none.
I don't believe the dark has gone.

Laughter rings freakishly through the cold around us.
Happiness? A feeling long lost to the both of us.
I don't believe your theory of 'trust'.

Silence envelops me and you fade slowly.
I Swear? You said it. You swore.
I don't think I can ever believe you any more.

Shy Guy.

Are you afraid that I will blow you out?
Well, don't be.
Are you scared that I will throw you down?
Well, don't be.
Are you unsure of how I'm gonna react?
Well, don't be.
Are you worried that I'll only attack?
Well, don't be.

You can be sure of interest.
I won't converse with you in jest.
You need to have some faith in you.
I'm waiting for a guy that's true.
Although it seems I'm out of your world.
I swear I'm human, I'm only a girl.
Don't judge reaction until you've tried.
What will you gain if you simply hide?

I'm terrified of changing the way that I am.
I shouldn't be.
I'm stuck in this farce, this theatre, this sham.
I shouldn't be.
I can't seem to move and I'm dying slowly.
I shouldn't be.
I'm treated as superior, something sacred and holy.
I shouldn't be.

So walk this way, and save my life.
I've had enough of the pain and strife.
You think it's easy, I can't be myself.
I'm a painted image of everyone else.
What they see, what they know.
It's all fake and for show.
My walls are rock solid and no-one knows shit.
But behind I'm in turmoil, a true misfit.

When You Crack.

You never see it coming do you?
It encases you in grimy darkness,
It's hard to inhale,
You feel so frail,
It's like you don't exist anymore.

You never see it coming do you?
It suffocates like a plastic bag,
Wrapped around your face,
Your heart begins to race,
It's like you don't exist anymore.

You never see it coming do you?
It strangles your mind and soul,
Sucks out all your might,
You lose the will to fight,
It's like you don't exist anymore.

You never see it coming do you?
Curled up like a child on the floor,
Screams that make no sound,
You've finally hit the ground,
It's like you don't exist anymore.

You never see it coming do you?

But you feel it hit.

OK, three for now, and as the impressions start coming in, I'll post some more.

Have fun guys 😄

🙁

You know, I don't think anyone's interested......

Is there any way I can advertise better?

wow!!!!
that's awesome!!!!!
I've writen some stuff too, but not as good as that

I'll try to draw what I think of from those poems, Syren ✅ Your poetry is awesome, by the way.

OK, hope to see some impressions soon............

OMG! Syren that poem brought a tear to my eye. that poem reminded me of a time when I broke up with one of my ex-boyfriend. I was angry and I wanted to tell him off! Oh gosh, you wrote somethings I would have said to him back then. Thank you! That poem is very strong.

Thanks Xena, I'm stunned that it could move you to tears 😮

Uh, no, Krabs, if you read the first post you'll see that this isn't the place for other ppl's poetry. You can put them in Poetical Justice, but this is for artist's impressions of my poems. Sorry mate...........

thats what i was doing...i was putting my poems so they could do that

sooo they only do impresssion of your poems...i was hoping they could do mine tooo. if not then just delete them again.

[edit]

What are you doing??

READ the first post, LilKitty and I have discussed the course of action in this thread, and as LilKitty is the Forum Moderator, and as she has already deleted your poems once, I suggest you follow the instructions given to you.

This thread is a tester for the impression of poetry idea, it is specifically for my poetry, and if it works I am sure we can continue with other people's poetry. Krabs, please co-operate. Make another thread, this one has been stickied for a reason.

As Syren already pointed out, this is a tester for the impression poetry.

If this happens to work out, we'll make a big general one. For now, post your poems in the other thread.

Thank you.
