DW's Sonnets

[Iamyouknowyours]

I love your poems, though it's a shame so much of it is so sad. Although perhaps not. After all there is a reason all the famous poets are/were suicidal or clinically depressed. Not that I want you to be depressed. And I definitely don't want you suicidal. Um, is it too late to be making sense? I think so.



I don't think any tomatoes need be involved unless you are making a salad. Your poems are beautiful. They are rich with emotion but never resort to over-sentimentality. And sonnets in particular are a rather difficult type of poem to write without feeling like you are going to make Shakespeare turn in his grave. Trust me, Shakespeare is doing just fine. He gives you a thumbs up if that is possible.



Each poem just keeps getting better and better. I particularly like the last two. Sonnet VI is stunning, and Self Diatribe just breaks my heart. You are so, so, so worthy of love and being noticed and adored! That's not pity, that's just a fact. But there's nothing wrong with wallowing a little now and then, and poetry is a great way to do just that.



I think what I'm trying to say is I wonderful work! And this comes from someone who gets bored with 90% of poetry that isn't Dorothy Parker. (I'm not a poetry snob, I swear. I just have a short attention span! Damn my MTV generation!) And I think I really should get to sleep before I start making even less sense and spend all night at the kitten tormenting people with my long, rambling, illogical, typo-ridden posts.

Wow... it's been a while since I was here last.



I feel so terrible for not checking replies sooner... damn, here it is, almost 4 months later and I'm just getting around to it...



Thank you everyone for your kind words. Thank you especially, Iamyouknowyours for your wonderfully kind and thoughtful post.



The ol' muse isn't much for poetry these days, but thank you all for reading my humble attempts... and maybe someday soon I'll crank out another sonnet or two.



Cheers

Sonnet VII



I exist in the darkness of my soul.

Time stops here and holds me in the velvet

Confines of my heart's screaming. I stay here.

Lonely, unwanted, un'fraid of the abyss.

Sad routine is the only thing prevents

Me from ceasing to exist. I feel

Nothing. Numbing cold my isolation.

I lie forgotten on a bed made of

Petty difference. I am a nuisance

Where I thought I was most welcome. Caring

Can be such a bother sometimes, you know?

        I'll make it easy and I'll make it quick

        And to their minds mem'ries of me won't stick.





Thanks for your time,

DW

Wonderful writing

Hey DW,



Quite the dark place you're residing in here. I was thinking myself this morning how cathartic poetry is. I've written it all my life mostly when dark surrounds me. I think I might be horribly sad for you if being in this place didn't also bless us with such amazing insight into sorrow. There's no pity from this reader, just gratitude that you shared some of your darkest moments. There is a definate place in this world for you. Your talents touch so many aspects of writing I can't help but enjoy what you pen.



Peace

Unbelievably compelling!



Everyone has these feelings at some point in their life, but few of us can express them as well as you have.



Sharing feelings is often the best medicine for what ails us.

Sonnet VIII - Flawed Geometry



Hi folks, I've decided to remove this one for now... it's a little too obvious for my taste. I'll post a Sonnet IX soon, and leave this one empty, to mark that there was indeed a number 8.



Cheers

Great writing

Hello.. here is another poem that is not a sonnet.



It's dark and broody as usual. Enjoy!



I am an evil person. I must be, because mommy says so.

I am an evil person. I must be, because I make mistakes.

I am an evil person. I must be, because even if I admit to them, I am in no way absolved.

I am an evil person. I must be, because I have bad days.

I am an evil person. I must be, because I don’t apologize for them.

I am an evil person. I must be, because when I try to do the right thing, it’s always wrong.

I am an evil person. I must be, because mommy says so.

I am an evil person. I must be, because when I ask for help, I am turned away.

I am an evil person. I must be, because when I think something is good, it turns to shit.

I am an evil person. I must be, because I feel I deserve to be loved just for the sake of it.

I am an evil person. I must be, because I want a second chance.

I am an evil person. I must be, because I’d rather stay silent than fight.

I am an evil person. I must be, because mommy says so.

I am an evil person. I must be, because I am spoiled.

I am an evil person. I must be, because I have pride.

I am an evil person. I must be, because I expect perfection.

I am an evil person. I must be, because I am impatient.

I am an evil person. I must be, because even when it’s quiet, on the inside I rage.

I am an evil person. I must be, because mommy says so.



I am an evil person. I must be, because mommy’s always right.

Sticks and stones feel like nothing compared to these words. It made me so sad, and still I will thank you for sharing.
