I'd also just quickly like to point out that we are in no way trying to discourage you from posting your work in general, it is very good. Anything you write is perfectly welcome in the other poetry thread, as, I think, is obvious by the fact that all poets work has been left when posted.

its fine i just didnt understand

Wow, I'm surprised nobody's actually done artwork based on the poems... I have an idea for the last one you posted, I'm going to start working on it now 🙂

I have an idea for Shy Guy, but unfortuantely, I won't be able to post it when I'm done.

Too bad man, I like your work 😬

😱

Artistes!!!

clap Finally!!

Go for it guys, I'd love to see how people interpret my poetry, considering I can't draw to save my life 😄

Someone likes my work, Woot! My purpose is fulfilled.

You are pretty good yourself Darth. One suggestion though, try mapping things out in a basic sketch before you draw. It will make everything more symmetrical and clean once you actually start the drawing, and your skill will improve quickly.

Thanks for the advice AF... Yeah, sometimes I do that, sometimes I don't... I'll start doing it more often ✅

😄

You guys just made a friend for life. Yes, I'm easy, I'm a genius 😛

Well, I started the basic sketch, it's all mapped out and everything. I'll be working on the details tomorrow. Won't be online though. 🙁

yo AF... you think you're going to be able to find a scanner to use?

Probably not. Besides, I scrapped the first design, I'm starting over.

Ah. I actually did the same thing, started over last night... But not to worry Syren, this one is much better. ✅

😱

Seriously guys, this is wonderful. I was beginning to think it wouldn't work, but Milla did say to give it time winkiss

When we've had a few entries, I'll submit three more poems.......

Hey Syren... I'm going on a short trip, leaving in about two or three hours. I've almost got the drawing done, so I'll work on it while I'm gone and have it for you when I get back on Monday or Tuesday.

Excellent babes 😉

I'm finished with "Shy Guy", unfortunately, you won't get to see it.

Well, describe it to us 😄

Nah, seriously, you'll never be able to get it up on here?? cry

Alright, I've gotten around to scanning my drawing in. It's fairly simple, but it took some work and I'm reasonably proud of it. I didn't use any of the similies from the poem directly, but hopefully this is a fairly good representation of what you're talking about... To me the poem is about fear, and I apologize for the crappy quality, but it's the only way I could get the file small enough and have the picture a decent size 😛

"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.

Oh, DR, it's awesome ✅

Absolutely fantastic, you've shown my poem from a completely different perspective, exactly as I'd hoped. The quality's fine, the picture's brilliant. I love the solidness of it, the train is an image of strength, of untouchable machinery, whilst the person portrays utter weakness, especially because they are being controlled by a 'puppeteer'. I love it!! 😉
