In free verse each line should always be semi-independent from the preceeding text i.e. it should stand on its own, therefore the instructions should be to you not the reader. Other than that be wary of using labels for abstractions 'mental formulations' 'volition'. It is always better to show than tell.
i doubt it
How would you know what I am knowledgeable in? I've been in college and I also have a good friend dying of Aids, so I'll assume I have some knowledge here.
Seeing as I don't eat at Burger King (or McDonald's) I don't need a Burger King napkin.
Nicely put.
What means "up utensils I indulge in" or "me a plate of food?" I guess you can't start reading just anywhere and have it make sense. However, in some African countries or on a plane wreck in the Andes, "me a plate of food" does work.
Hey dude, whatcha smokinâ? Iâm trying to be slanderous and obnoxious in long-standing Poemranker propcol, but, hey, weâre having a monsoon here in Southern California. I just got back from a long walk in the last inch of 42 this winter with a stop for a pinot noir. The last monsoon was about 1850 as I recall, the year the entire basin flooded from what we now call Newport all the way to the Los Angeles River and more. We called it the Big Water, but to the Spaniards, well, they had to rename everything kinda Christian, going along with the San Fernando Mission I guess. Anyway, my brave got the wickiup built and we settled in on higher ground â no mission living for us, like all those lilly-liver tribesmen and their weak wasted squaws. No, my brave flips back the flap and saunters in with that âAala, get readyâ look, and well, the rest is karmic transference. Reminds me of the good days listening to Buddha talk about the non-existence of the âI,â - just a fiction really, and the only thing that lasts is karma. I went along with it and meditated deep into myself to find my own truth as the Budda said, but, ya know, that rebirth stuff threw me, still does. Seems to me that if any of that karma stuff really goes into pigs and the like and then back to me, Iâd feel piggish, maybe look a bit piggish too. Oh well, if it really works, maybe you really can get your ass clean outa the universe and away from it all. Bon voyage.
I kind of had a feeling.
Sorry, not much better. Try again.
Are you decomposing in that lye in your bed?
Maybe the point is easier to see now.
All we know
we obsessed with many things
such as love and death
mortality and immortality
destiny and eternity
some of us might find life
as a sentence .." life is my agony "
i shoud say
the death is path of our freedom
but i am still dwelling in my sadness
sheding tears upon the darkness
grasping the hands of lonliness
and murmuring the words of emptiness
i like the way his poem is ..it's a avant garde poem ...i will give it more than 10 score
yeah it has the simplicity of his imagination into the concept of a flat earth
Wilco this is a nice poem ..
A bit vague, but i like the ending
yeah, actually, i didn't write the pirate stuff.
Ok, yeah, I like this. Much better than the Pirate thing.
I don't understand the second line, and scribbles/quibbles might be a bit forced, but I like this poem, especially
"Piling things around
Me, in squares, and
Suspensions."

some poeple said before i said
they said the different things
they opened different secerts
they had taken different ways
the all things which they got
they passed by their souls to different lives
now do i have them in my soul ?
have i lived thousands lives ?
and i exprienced too many ways of life
it's still unknown for many of us
but i want to go beyond what they got before us
some of them fathomed the unsaid things in soul
that can be sensed just between souls
Dovina ...live by this poem
The morning wind spreads its fresh smell
we must get up and take that in
that wind that lets us live
Breathe before it's gone
Dance, when you're broken open
Dance,if you've torn the bandage off
Dance , in the middle of fighting
Dance in your blood
Dance, when you're prefectly free
