This week, I voted for echoe's poem and Blippy's poem. I loved the snowman simile in melt, though the last line did feel a little awkward to me. Enter Title Here seems very applicable, and it resonated with me. Personally, I hate it when I try to write poetry with nothing in particular driving me to write. Most of my poetry is inspired by a reaction to something, as a way to express what I can't express in 'normal' writing or speech.
Speaking of inspiration, I gave some insight into my entry this week in Skald, if anyone is interested.
I've been interested in Japanese death poetry recently, so that is what inspired this haiku. I thought it'd be inappropriate to write one from my own perspective, since I'm not on my deathbed. There has to be some poets in Dark Souls though, right?
my mouth is full of winsome lies -
and eyes are full of death besides
but luckily the soul is wise -
it sees beyond my blindness and
forced failure makes a better guise,
so as i come again alive,
it feels like life's a decent plan
Here are the Poetry submissions for this week:
The Hole In The Ground by Ilvaldi
melt by echoe
Enter Title Here by BlippyTheSlug
