You did kinda miss it.

Only when spoken... structure on paper (or screen) can change the poem itself 😬

Yeah, it looks different.

As I said, it's the same text.

You will also note (if you actually read the previous posts) I was trying to find out what Coldfire thinks a different structure brings to the text.

Ha, that was funny, I want to try that as well. But my sentence is not long enough yet.

so it's not so crowded

and can play around with effects of specific
words
on specific
lines

It can make a
big
difference.

And I just like poetic format better.
I mean, yeah I do write stories,
but poetic format gives me more freedom
to expand my creativity.
Writing some of my stuff
in a paragraph format just doesn't have the
same effect for me.
It's just a
personal
preference.

I'm just going to take the very last sentence as the reason.

I think it's more about the person, rather than the people...

The rain is always...wetter, than...

What are we talking about?

Individuals from racial minorities doing bad things, right?

Who knows...?

You really don't have to be so obnoxious just to get your point across. What are you getting at here anyway? The structure changes the way the poem is read and subsequently flows, for Coldfire and also for a lot of other writers. Do you really need satisfactory reasoning? If you can't see (or hear) any difference, I suggest you print the poem out, take it away to a quiet room and read it aloud to yourself a few times. Instead of provoking people in here, because really, you're not getting anywhere.

I don't want or need a response to this, but I expect I'm going to get one. I'm just suggesting you don't waste your time because I'll likely not acknowledge it. You're rude, VVD. Perhaps not intentionally but then that just makes it worse.

Maybe if you took my posts to a quiet room, you'd see they weren't.

I wouldn't mind satisfactory reasoning, yes. That's generally the point of asking a question. You won't be the one to give it. Structure doesn't come from arbitrary presses of the Enter key. If you want to get into the mechanics of poetry, then let's. However, I think that it's beyond the remit of what I originally asked 'you' (which part of Coldfire's poems do you write first, by the way?), and secondly, I don't imagine judging two kmc poetry competitions is qualification to do so.

Yeah, I look forward to not reading that then.

Really? Or are you just female monarch of the melodramatic?

Ummmm..........

Can I still join the contest?

It finished a while ago.

I see. Alright then. Maybe we should do it again

Or you could just make a thread and post them; I'm sure they'll be just as good as they would if they had some people saying they're better than some other poems.

true

Syren's got a nice ass, but she is definitely one of those things you just said in that post above me. At least on occasion, anyway...

(Seems to occur in a cyclic nature. Once a month...)

The day after Heat Magazine is delivered?

*Edit*

I think it comes out weekly. Just pretend though.

I hate that I'm menstruating right now or I'd be able to vehemently deny that.
