(no subject)

i do realize that my poetry is not like everyone else's. i rhyme. i try to have some form of rhythm. i try to tell a story.

but, when you sit in a class of fifteen people and try to get them to tell you what you can do better... it sucks to get back 7 blank copies of your poems, three that say you're a good writer, and five that say... well... you suck. basically. "don't tell, show." "it's so vague and confusing."

ok. i -tell- my poetry because i like telling stories. and as for the vagueness, really. i'm vague so that when someone reads it, they can apply it to whatever they want. to themselves, their parents, their last homework assignment. whatever.

if anyone wants to help me, go to my website and click on my poetry stuff. the poems i had up for discussion are "to my spiritual brother," "why he is poetry," "scream for me," "prayer," and "innocence?" (now retitled to A young man's lament on love...). tell me what's good, bad, ugly on it. how can it be less confusing? what's missing? could it be better?

i despise that poetry is subjective.

the answers to hayaliger's interview... with me. if that makes sense.

1. Favorite emo song? 1. ooo... if you count my chemical romance as emo (very few people do, but then i do occasionally...) then helena. but... uh... styrofoam plates by death cab for cutie.

2. Favorite song in general? 2. sic transit gloria by brand new. or at last by etta james. or the verdict and dreams must be going out of style by johnny adams. or the martyr and a gentleman caller by cursive.

3. Still masochistic? 3. i try not to be, but it's always fun to freak people out. or try to get them to say masochistic morghan. that was funny. *smirk*

4. Do you like harry potter? 4. i've never seen the movies. never read the books. only what i've read on the net. so i really... don't know. heh... wait til some people read that...

5. If Aaron Jones is King Arthur, and heather white is some other knight, who are you and who am I? 5. hey! i know this one. um... you are sir lancelot of camelot and you'll make a feint to the northeast... and i'm the coconut girl and a page and... dammit, i'm not even supposed to be in there at that point! (i love you, jesse. muah!)

hot spam! it's a quiz or two.

Which American Cities Best Fit You?

I Am A: Chaotic Good Elf Bard Mage


Alignment:
Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups.


Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.


Primary Class:
Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.


Secondary Class:
Mages harness the magical energies for their own use. Spells, spell books, and long hours in the library are their loves. While often not physically strong, their mental talents can make up for this.


Deity:
Hanali Cenanil is the Chaotic Good elven goddess of love, beauty, and art. She is also known as the Heart of Gold and Lady Goldheart. Her followers delight in creation and youth, and work to spread happiness, love, and beauty. Their preferred weapon is the dagger.
