Subject: Anyone Write Poetry?

I was just wondering if anyone else writes poetry. Mine are of a reflective nature, and every now and then I take one and edit it as experience warrants it.

Here's a poem I just made up about gardening. I'm not a poet so don't expect too much. Swiss chard and rocket Reach for the sky When will it rain next Gardeners cry Watering daily Weeding my patch Gathering eggs up Before they hatch Cropping and washing Making a heap Rendering rot proof Ready to keep All of my efforts End in success Loving what's home grown Tasty and fresh Reply #21.

P.S. All of my efforts don't always end in success, but I think I'm allowed poetic licence there. Reply #22. Jul 07 18, 6:53 AM |

That's my shoe Not a scratching post What are you trying to do That's my shoe And don't give me that look of "Who" I fear my toes are toast That's my shoe Not a scratching post Reply #24. Jul 07 18, 6:59 PM |

All very good contributions. Sorry I've kined of... abandoned this threat. Life, you know. Any poem to me, worth viewing: matters not if one is poet or not; we all write for different reasons, and effort is enough. I do not just write poems; depends how I feel; whether I connect with my muse, whoever it may be. Medical nightmare takes away from poetry or any other creative outlet; all is dark, and cold, and bleak. Reply #26. Jul 09 18, 11:37 AM |

These eyes cannot see; since three years been diagnosed; why do you not expolain what you do rather than just grabbing me? You think I want fight everyone who want help me? If so, maybe you know me not; rushing around without saying a word frightens me: I react instinctively never outgrew childhood fear and now am stuck with various "things" which, if I told you, would separate me from the world more than I am already. You want me not as I am; you want me healed, yet make accusations, say I do not try. Not fair, cry I; you see it not, you only see what you want: no more words have I for thee who does not want to hear me speak, only pretends: and that just hurts. Reply #27. Jul 09 18, 11:43 AM |

These doctors, these nurses, they treat me like invalid; let me do nothing. I have experience, more than I want, and worst part be I miss my birdie. They tell you that hospitals are for rest, yet nurses rush in and out, allowing patients no rest. I need home to recover rather than some unfamiliar environment. Reply #28. Jul 09 18, 11:47 AM |

I can't use technology some take for granted (I would say most, but I don't want to generalize. Sighted individuals or those with voice programs on cell phones or who have low vision can take advantage of wi-fi, etc. Not me. So if I can't be home, I can't go on here. Same applys to Facebook and all other sites I frequent. Reply #32. Jul 21 18, 3:51 PM |

"Normal," you say, what do you mean; "normal for who, 'cause it scary for me. I cannot see, now you want me to accept I cannot hear? "Be not upset, this is normal; it will pass" I promise you: that comforts not, that my good ear. Stupid anesthesia, what uyou do to me; I came in here calm, now I unsafe... evem if you see it not.

It's hard to edit these... and though I have an edited version, now, as you can see, that's really rough. There are more poems on my new blog. I don't have the time I used to, and... well... "we are they," and there are system members who either don't feel comfortable posting anywhere, or don't feel comfortable in here (new things frighten them). There's a lot going on, between inspections and maintenance and visiting nurses/therapy people. We read some of the virtual blogs, but aren't posting in ours as much as we have in the past (we did update that one today, thougyh, after reading a news story... and we wrote a few poems just for there. Thing is, for the most part, we don't keep ouur poems anymore, which means we share them and move on to something else. Perhaps that's why we can't really write ajnythi ng longer (we try short stories, too, but most get nowhere close to an ending). Every now and then, one of us writes something to post in one of the critique groups we joined on FB. And creativity is kinda "hit or miss" right now... Reply #36. Jul 24 18, 2:15 PM |
