Nice poem, thanks for sharing

What a beautiful and poignant poem. I love it. It really comes from your heart. I have been writing poems for 37 years and I can truly say that you are very gifted. I once wrote a poem called Just Another Sad Day but my wife God rest her soul didn't like it because she said it was too depressing. Yet I like a sad poem like yours once in awhile becuase we as bi-polar people often times feel very down and depressed and need to express those feelings in thoughtful words like what you have done here.

I read the poem....and I fell in love with the Panda.
I feel pervy

"Are you nutz! Have you lost your mind?"
Probably, but there is not much to find.
Just a wrinkled up, soulless thing
That never did have truth to ring
My mind minded me into many a mess
So that here today I must confess
That I really don't mind
Having lost my mind.

Your lovely verse already got 3 compliments, so I figure I am exempt from the rule of having to read the one before mine.

Arfie arf.

Hello, Shlay. It is good to hear from you. It has been a long time since I have communicated with you.

I like that poem.

I can't really do a poem at the moment. I'm rather tired.

Maybe some bad prose, let's see:

I move between worlds
the dividing line
to see all with equal vision
He sits in His heaven
and laughs
typical one of the yanya I am
waiting for the small trees and lightning sky
a Kaitrya to hold the light against the darkness
but to no avail
enlightened but powerless...............

Arfie, I love the simplicity of your poem. Right to the point and beautiful!

Achala, your poem left me feeling rather forlorn, but it was beautiful non-the-less.

Tous les poemes contients des loups
Sauf un. Le plus beau.
Elle dance dans un circle de feu
Et lance tous defis
Sans sousis.

I'm bummed, all of you are so creative and smart...I draw stick figures and cant write to save my life..

Luckies!!!

really tho, beautiful

justletmebe- Never say that! Anyone can write well with enough practice! Just start by free writing, a continuous flow of thoughts and feelings- whatever comes to your mind. Then break that down into main ideas, throw some pretty words in: There you go, you have a poem!

Not a poem, but something I wrote for my blog. I'm gonna post it here so my comment doesn't get taken down for advertising.


The human mind is often so complex we are unaware of how we react the way we do: in one such instance, the anger that comes from being confronted by a fault of ones own. This has often occurred in my life, directly affecting me. I will calmly tell a person that they have hurt my feelings by an action of their own, and be rebuffed with an immense amount of anger and resentment.
Why is it that when you confront someone on their wrong doings that they must point out all of your own faults and mistakes. It doesnt seem quite far to me that when I am being calm with someone (or, in cases, someone is being calm with me- for I am not devoid of fault in this) they rebuttal with accusations and harsh words, often yelling that can be accompanied by profanity. I am not a psychologist, psychiatrist, or one of any profession of the sort- but I have studied much psychology, in college and on my own. I am uncertain if this behavior is sociological or psychological. It seems to me to be a bit of both.

Most people have experienced this behavior on one end or the other of their life- Which leads me to believe it is a social pattern. However, when you think on the psyche, this behavior is a model of repression, projection and guilt.

Sociologically, this may be a repeat pattern, from person to person- from friends, families and neighbors. If the group of people you are surrounded by act in a certain way, you are most definitely apt to respond in kind. The only way the pattern can be broken is if one person or more persons choose to negate from the set path. That goes for an social pattern.

The person being confronted is often left floundering for an excuse for their poor behavior, wanting to blame everything everyone- but themselves. That leads to the person projecting their feelings of guilt onto the person confronting them. As humans, we are highly emotional and tend to overreact on the smallest matters. Such is the nature of our existence. It takes a trained mind to remain rational when you have done something you know to be wrong but dont want to admit to it. We tend to fight it with every fiber of our being, like a survival instinct.

What I want to go is how we solve the problem of being overly emotional. I know it is natural to have emotions, but how to keep them under control if when pointing out (kindly) the fault in people only makes them more irate.

Beauty in Madness

I cannot find the words to speak
I cannot find the words to make you see
that the scars are anything but beauty?
Raised and dipped,
white and red,
visible and invisible
they tell my story,
a story of pain,
a story of terror,
a story of beauty despite
all the madness
all the fear
all the ridicule and neglect.
I write what I cannot say
upon my body
so I can breathe
and that to me is beauty,
pure and simple.

Thoughts
stirred up
into a
big old
mixture
of confusion

Thoughts
are racing
never slowing
only screeching
to a halt.

Energy
comes
and energy
goes,
quick
like a rabbit
as the old
pun goes.

No way to
defeat it,
no way
to live with
it just have
to deal
with this
enemy
of mine.

Pirate Jack went down with the ship,
In salt spirit breezes he was blown,
Now he's back in flesh and stone.
