Poet Talk discussion

This is where I will be posting the topic of the week. The topic of the week is where there will be a topic each week where you can choose to write about and post is in the "poetry" discussion.

that great:) what will the topics mainly be about? like can you give and example?

Well, an example could be childhood. The topics will mainly be about things in reality or in perspective, but I will throw a few creative ones in there too, Like "Post-Humankind"

okay, thanks for the example, I am excited about this:) its sure is a challenge

yep, and since it's sunday, it's the beginning of the week. The topic of the week is "starting over"

okay thanks

yup :)

New topic: What you would say when the world ended.

its normal every on eknw that this world will be ended and one day we have to fce ALLAH SUBHAN NA TALA....

Alrighty then....new topic to write about this week is "Disowning"

Disowning: departure, rejection, denial. The son he never admitted knowing. The door closed and locked. Windows shaded. Face averted.

to be recycled:
books gathered in a past life
melt in the rain

Nice Gene!

The new topic of the week: encouragement to a stranger

Thanks, Mike. A topic of the week is a great idea.

Gene

Here's a take on "encouragement to a stranger":


If I am the stranger
who will encourage me?
Who will wave instead
of flipping me off?
If I give encouragement
to a stranger, then
I am also a stranger,
so it is stranger
encouragement
than we knew.

You're a true poet Gene!

Thank you, Mike. I'm abashed.

(I did mine basically based on the idea that you don't know who's having a bad day, who might even kill themselves. If we're all more loving we'd save so many more lives. (view spoiler)[ I know for a fact that if it wasn't for the loving people in my life, I wouldn't be here. (hide spoiler)])


It's one of those days
we all have them.
But today is like no other.
The world seems to hate you,
it's all the same dull bore,
the same dull pain that
follows you around
like the memories haunting you.
You begin to see in black and white
and you dream of ropes and pills.
And then,
a single smile,
a wave,
a long hug,
a nice word to tell you,
you are cared about .
And suddenly,
the sun is brighter,
the clouds are lighter,
and so is your soul.
And you go home in peace,
and come back tomorrow,
instead of at the morgue.

Very nice. And we can't tell from external appearance what a person is really experiencing.

Thank you!

My new topic is "how to thrive"

hmmmm might have a chance with this one.... o__O
