Hi Molly,
Sometimes something I can feel it but I can not understand it. Is it the same to you? following your link, I think it may be one kind of poetry, isn't it? I'm not sure. But I don't like it so much. |

Hi Linh,
That's a pretty broad question. Most people may have lyric poetry in mind when referring to poetry. It can be anything from John Donne to T.S. Elliot to Margaret Atwood.
| Quote: |
In the moon light
when eyes met eyes
everything seems bright
falling in your smile |
That's a nice little poem. Carry on!
In a short story your verse could sound like 'When John walked me home after the cinema, our eyes suddenly met in the moonlight. At this very moment everything seemed very bright and illuminated. I fell for his sweet smile, and now it seems I've completely fallen in love with him.'

Hi Linh,
Yes, I used to write quite a lot in my student days. Back then I used to believe that the world was waiting for me to disclose my secret talents. Here's a little love poem similar to your moon verse.
november 1, two women
tonight I met you again
everything I love
this one person
never true
a glimpse, the moon, reflections
in sight of my one eye
it is my notch
and what shines through
on a bead's surface
waning with the moon
mi sol, gone
lit up in lanterns
later I met you
eyes drizzling
flickering in fog
a moment's sun
born in a true eclipse
I turn in my tracks

Dear Ralf,
So why you said that you used to write? No more write now? That is a regret. Even I am not good at English, but that poem is impressing me. |

How's this one, Dear Prince?
Daffodils are out
Baa Baa go the wooly sheep
Moo moo says the cow
And this?
Orange smooth ancient lamb
Reappears heartlessly, shrill
Magnificent dumb |

Hi Linh,
Thanks for your comment. I think I've stopped writing because reality has caught up with me. I can tell that there are quite a number of people with a hell of a lot more talent publishing poetry, and my day-to-day existence proves elusive to devoting time and energy to the fine(r) arts; these days I feel preoccupied by work and social activities.

If you have enough time to spend on here, maybe you could put it that time to better use. |

I don't quite get your point. But I'm eagerly awaiting your feedback since you and your 3,900 indispensable contributions to this site might serve as a role model of ample spare time obliteration.
