/lit/ - Literature

in a torment of self destruction and desolation
i sit contemplating
the horrors of this plane
the realties seems inane
if i am tarzan then where is my jane?
another day another dollar
waiting for some random creature to come hollar
what is this?
wtf?
another time spent waiting
an enviornment so hostile and i lost my metal plating
X_X

Don't be shy
they are just words
floating on the wind like your local birds
so express yourself
or let your mind stay on the shelf
unread by others
unable to influence the thoughts of future fathers and mothers
be sure to remember
that your thoughts will resonate far past next November
and others will by them define you
Now Tell Me, What Can Thoughts Possibly do?!?!

Poetry is dead.

>>5567266
you say poetry is dead
that what is this magic that goes on inside my head?
how am I able to breathe life into words?
like the wind that fills your lungs after it is fluttered on by birds
it is alive now as it always will be
as long as language exists
it will be poetry that persists
so do your worst sir poetic stifler
because I will continue to be a creative language rifler
shooting creative thoughts into your head
blasting you with creative thoughts until you or I am dead

>>5567273

That sucked. Poetry is dead. Long live Prose.

If there was a moment
When peotry as yours
Would be held in high regard

And then in that moment
That moment of ours
The poets are dead, thank God

But that is no moment
In our long hours
And this board is not the board for a bard

The joke here is that none of us are good poets, myself no more than you.

>>5567317
explanations are for pussies

>>5567335
Redundancy is an art.

>>5567317
are none of us good poets?
or are all of us good poets?
we all have our own opinions and thoughts to express
all of us under our own unique stress
so we should never hesitate to express
our thoughts and never think of them to be less
then those of others
you never know, we could be philosophical brothers
from other mothers

>>5567356
We are all shit
At poetry
We can't rhyme for shit
In our poetry
We've got no sense for metrics
And our metaphors are dicks

Welcome to /lit/
And our poetry

Wanton slaughter of unwanted babes,
Virginal sloths with unseen names,
Viral tapestries burn in torn wind.
Lit, framed between slashes.

Hollow fish eyes stare blankly ahead,
Tank glass glaring back, glowing instead,
With dull fire of a thousand boy din.
Lit, now merely ashes.

The philosophers moan, drown the foul
Tao of irony voiding its bowels,
Smirking shirkly through old blooms' abyss.
Light, blinded enchanter.

Thomas's Gospel and David's sling
Gather infinite dust, whispering,
"Only the dead can know peace from this..."
Light, dimwitty banter.

i posted this in the last thread but i tweaked it a little (as if anyone would notice)

I'll write in Italian, then I'll translate it:

La poesia è un canto schietto e antico
che lascia i cuor d'ognuno ad altri liti;
pur gli scettri soavi, e il sommo Lico
ebber ad invidiar gli stami incliti

di coloro che 'l lauro come un fico
disprezzaro, contenti i sommi miti
ch'Apollo vienci prence e nostro amico
se lo volgo ferino fiero eviti.

Quando frinisce lieve la cicala,
non si cura di natural beltate
ma solo di virtù ch'ognuno ammala:

Pertanto noi, cicale senza voci,
non prestiamo l'orecchie alle belate
di coloro che pongon sulle croci.

You say "our" and "we", but you only speak of yourself
You try to smear the entire board but only
give yourself the credit of the board that talks only about ponies
& bring dishonor to that tripcode & label you use to define thy self

>>5567402
Poetry is a sincere and ancient chant,
which leaves every heart on other shores;
even the most important kings, and the magnifique Lyco,
woult to envy the un-breakable flowers

of who despised the laurum
as a figue, hating the old myths
that volving around Apollo, our prince and king,
only if you don't go among the bestial people.

When the grasshopper makes his dear verse,
she doesn't care about the natural beautyness
but just about the virtues that enchant everyone.

So we, grasshoppers without voice,
don't hear about the sheep-like sounds
of who are willing to crucifie us.

>>5567410
It was a joke. Although all good jokes contain some sincerity. >>5567400 and >>5567402 are actually pretty good.

I don't see what my trip has to do with this, though. Nor do I get why you relate me to /mlp/.

They call me, Thread Re-railer,

offerin you a ride on my boat, cus i'm a truth sailor

exposin liars with my, spotlight,

comin out, confrontin fakes in an intellectual fight

not hidin, as the agents try to stifle me with fear,

without a false premise these professional liars can't even get intellectually near

highlighting clearly, the difference between truther and liar,

engulfing you, in my intellectual FIRE

now tell me, who's wrong and who's right?

how will you determine this in an intellectual fight?

offering you, nuggets of knowledge,

because, they don't teach you everything you need to know in college

but, never diss a quality education

without quality knowledge, you're an easy target for mental assassination

so, I emplore you to strengthin your mental self

and do you best to keep your mind off of the neglected dusty shelf

>>5567459
oh you were being "serious"... lol. I just hate it when people try to discredit the entire board... I take jokes seriously, too. jokes are serious business even if they make you laugh. besides, remember what the first post said

"ITT (in this thread) we write whatever the fuck we want and disregard critics"

>>5567515
Yep, I'm just exploring post-modernism. Clearly I haven't quite got the hang of it yet.

this is not a thread for debate

this is a thread where we use our minds to create

so my next phrases I contemplate

so I can use them to mentally elevate

myself and others

and you don't have to rhyme

all the time

because poetry is hard to define

tis just a creative work of the mind

come on people, post your thoughts

why not use your minds to create?

it's a thing that should cause one to celebrate

I implore to clearly annunciate

and help to give this thought generating thread a brighter fate

Hook curl curving words with teeth in their tail
bright biting the other in competing complete
made staid thoughts maintained echoing reins
nothing said nothing said better not read
to taken to token which caught us unspoken
dressed in earth blessed enough passed on
today

there is an ancient Chinese curse that says: "May you live in interesting times"

Greatest thing I've ever read on /lit/

>>5570856
Why?

Shills need to shill
to pay their bills
out of desperation
they manifest lies, fabrication
for their employer's organization
most likely some mega-giant corporation
Shillin like a villain
while their intellectual integrity is spillin
it's hard to believe that they are willin
perhaps they are convinced in the end of it all, they will be chillin
but that's wrong
wait until they hear reality's gong
waking up realizing how what they did was so extremely wrong
and their their cut, was not as promised
they thought the people employing them to lie would be honest
what a joke
they cracked thier shell and fried their yolk
to make them stronger
you're being comsumed by a beast, can you live much longer?
Figure It Out
Or Don't
Up to You
Now What Do You Do?

>>5570940

The dude has hoes on deck. He looks like Norm Macdonald. Did you not read it?

>>5571016
I'll intellectually wreck that dude with hoes on deck
having women doesn't mean you have all the respect
i'll spin his mind around with my philosophy
and soon, the smarter women will be drooling over me
as he sits there, lookin confused
i'll be standing there lookin amused
not using, underhanded and deceitful tactics
just letting my intellect shine, and letting them know he lacks this
engaging, in an intellectual joust
and why not?
i'm no pre-programmed response robot
I have my free will telling me to do it or not
and it's not for naught
it's all for the sake of thought
or have you forgot?
or did you know not?

just a bump
for an intellectual clump
