POETRY

 
Bottled up emotions

Ready to erupt like a volcano

Finds a way

From pen to paper

As words weave magic

To hold the emotions in unison

 
Life’s experiences

Rich in emotions

Colourful and hot like the lava

Ready to explode

Takes shape into a new creation

They all call it ‘Poetry’

 
Each line interprets

Multiple emotions of life

To add splendour and bewilderment

Giving a new dimension

To poet’s narration

As emotions unfold into words

 
To a poet

It may be pain

While for readers

It may seem like a beauty

Interpretation of each word

Speaks of undefined mystery

 
The beautiful creation

From poet’s point of view
Is as difficult to shape

As it is to interpret

Once shaped and created

It becomes poetry!

What was that again, Oli? I didn't catch it... 
 
Slan!
Personal conversation is not a review!

Dear Gerardconnolly, HI! 
 
I would really appreciate if you will be kind enough to keep your personal conversation with Oli (Talisker) through PM. I guess no one really taught you that PERSONAL CONVERSATION IS NOT A REVIEW! Well, I am sure you are intelligent enough to understand what I want to say and request. Take care!

How often do I have to repeat myself. Can't you read English? Its bad enough you can't write it? 
 
I couldn't give a tinker's cuss what you think. Your writing is about as skillful as an incontinent elephant and you deserve every lampoon you get. I shall do exactly what I like whether you like it or not. This is an open website. If you don't like the heat get out of the kitchen.
um...

I'm new here, so far I've been welcomed with open arms. 
The few reviews I've had (one was to tell me I posted in the wrong place) have been constructive and kind. 
 
I personally feel that this kind of poetry, one line then reverse the wording of the line before.... I don't get it. 
I'm not a poetry expert but I always thought rythmn and different words stringed together to construe an idea/feeling/description is what poetry is about. 
 
I feel your poetry are more 'recipes'. 
I hope you are not offended or disgruntled by my views, I'm only one person. 
 
Thanks

THE UNEDUCATED PERSON OF THE SITE!
Written by JohnnyD (106 comments posted) 15th October 2006
Dear Oli / Gerard, HI! 
 
You have proved to one and all that you are the most uneduacted person on this site! You may think that you are a good writer but honestly, by your reviews you show how awfully you have been brought up by your parents and teachers (if at all you went to school, which we all doubt). 
 
I am not at all angry with your reviews, oops comments. In fact, I pity you as a human being. It surely reflects in your personality that you have had a very bad upbringing and there is an angst within. While noone taught you how to be a good human being, I would blame you too for not trying from your end to be one! 
 
Learn while you have a life or else in your deathbed you will be cursing yourself for the miserable life you have led and will ask forgiveness, which would be too late to enjoy such a beautiful life! 
 
Learn to correct yourself rather than trashing people. That is what education is all about! The choice is yours, of course! 
 
Take care!

Is it poetry?
Written by Marybarry (237 comments posted) 31st January 2007
Greetings nascent, 
 
I am afraid you are wrong. BOTH these men are VERY good writers, BUT 
 
Their manners or lack of is a problem. I spoke to 
Talisker and since then he is giving me constructive reviews. 
Connolly on the other hand is another kettle of fish. 
 
Generally poets on this site think that my poems are rubbish, with the result of my giving up writing for now. 
Many of them are arrogant'
