Explaining My Poetry Style
Explaining My Poetry Style Critical Poetry Thoughts Someone criticized my poetry, He said he could not understand it He said that it did not make sense He said that it is kind of juvenile As I make it like a conversation. Oh really well let me tell you what I really think! I don't really know why I write poetry this way. I just began and it is hard to change. This person suggested I need to add description That I had to add visuals That I had to describe the senses That I had to let people feel for themselves And not tell them only how I feel. But like a zebra If I were to be covered in white paint Eventually the stripes would reappear As the paint would fade. Nature has many an animal that has spots Supposedly they cannot change them Should I count myself in their kingdom? But I have many more facets as I am a human. Oh then there is that lizard Made famous by Boy George and Culture Club, Come on and sing it! I know you want to! quot;Karma, Karma, Karma, Karma, Chameleon". Its skin changes with its surroundings. Oh were I that adaptable! Perhaps some day I will be. But now that I have vented, Now that my pot has gone from boiling to simmering, I will just tell myself in a soft whisper. It is all good. It is actually constructive criticism. It is just an added piece of wisdom To which I can pick at as I please. I may one day write a poem with just imagery. I may one day write a poem that does not voice, the way I speak, I may one day write a poem that does not rhyme at all. Who would I be then? Would I still be me? Oh seriously, I am not that dense I am just going through the motions Until this poem ends. Independently Romantic Sounds Better Than Lonely |

I am not big on poetry yet I do read yours. So, to mr expert, what does that say? It works for me, ergo, your writing style is good. If it touches anyone, rhyme, visuals, senses, all that stuff or not, then it is worthy. But, with creativity, we all have opinions, art, music, poetry, books. I do not like Picasso art yet look how popular it is. One man’ beauty is another man’s eyesore. Keep on.

It's your unique style that I like. Don't change it just for the sake. Tell your critics to "go fly a kite". Keep it as real as yourself mate.

I feel bad for those who feel that they need to criticize everyone... They complain that some women are too slutty, then order others to show more on cam... or degrade the appearance of others. Even criticizing poetry? Actually, I don't feel bad for them, it's not worth my time. Do things that make you happy, and let others do their own happy things!

If all poetry reached everyone succeeded in communicating everytime might well not be poetry at all be a speech tight and small and your voice is never that a storm of emotion never flat talks of where you are and heart's desire keep writing and keep soaring higher if they are unable to fly up and look down with you then all you can do is keep describing your view....

Mellifluous, I;ve always enjoyed that word, very onomatopoeic.......and so, your new name is McMell! Or maybe McMelli on occasions! I also enjoy your poetry, it often flows, like the onomatopoeia of your blog name!

You are simply expressing yourself in poetic form. What's so hard to understand about that. I do it myself. If anything it is a form of creative writing. Here is an example. this guy can take a leap off Mount Rushmore this guy can take a long walk off a short peer

Your free verse reminded of me of the critical, judgmental people (of which I am one) who love to fix others and others' poetry. Thy suggest, recommend, judge in arrogant tones and point to things that need changing (for their comfort). They "should on" the daring writer. They are so attached to being right and they think they are helping you, but all they are doing is refraining from listening to you, and taking time to become you, to feel your thoughts and feelings, to enjoy your introspection and appreciation for the healing attributes of writing, to walk in your moccasins. I enjoyed the voices in your poem and the dialog, characters, drama, and wisdom, the resolution that anything in life can teach us something and even if it i painful at least is educational. As I read it I laughed at the arrogant, kno-it-all in me. I laughed at the ego in myself. Being with the other, having an open mind and loving oneslf and the other as yourself is hard for righteous people to do. Righteous people want to change me and the only thing that will change my Karma is the Karma Chameleon, sung by Boy George.:

Poetry is of the heart and emotions. Prose is communications or reporting We should never mix the two. Keep writing as you feel and with the freedom form grammar. I enjoyed your poem

Your voice is quite eloquent "just the way it is" and you don't have to splain shit to anyone. I happen to find my self wanting to "catch up" with you as I would anyone I read on the written page. Sorry to be behind but I have to admit my use of this site is mainly to cum and go as my life is always on the run it seems. But, as you say, "it's all good".

Your a great poet, and you know it! But get to know more people, maybe through the chat rooms, or viewing their blogs, you would get more views!

You just wrote a poem with imagery. And metaphor. And personification. And point of view. That is 4 of 12 poetic devices. I think you've got it covered.

Just keeping writing as long as your like it in your unique style and don't worry about the critics they would not know really good poetry if it bit them in the ass. I enjoy reading it because I can tell you wrote about your emotions or point of view in your own unique style. Become an Apollorising58 watcher!
