But her [the moon's] radiance grew,
and the stars themselves did envy her.
Yet she gave of herself freely,
turning envy to love.
So that they did dance,
the stars with the moon,
happily overhead,
for all to see.
@wordsmith It was in reference to my girlfriend at the time who is now an Ex but also my best friend, we are very close.
I had always and still do associate her with the energy of the moon, and the symbolism is in several poems I wrote inspired by her at the time.
Thanks for enjoying and sharing.
I really need to get back to writing poetry... I was getting half good when I last left off (started pretty bad though).
@freemo @wordsmith
My poetries look turd I rather prefer to play virtual piano when I am depressed ![]()
@mur2501 I think everyone thinks their poetry sucks, even when its good... I find as time goes on and I look back that my poetry is far more appealing than when I first wrote it.
@freemo
I have the opposite effect
@mur2501 I suspect thats the only true test for good poetry... time
@mur2501 if you dont care about meter, grammer, sentance structure, etc, then it is poetry. These are the defining qualities of poetry. Strip those ideas from a wonderful poem and what you are left with is some form of beautiful or deep philosophy maybe, but not poetry.
It would be like someone speaking the lyrics to a wonderful song in monotone fashion. It strips it of being a song even if the lyrics are beautiful in their own right.
@freemo
This brings me to the point that I hate formalities in languages and societies. It just makes all our words a big lie.
@freemo
Well I am Indian so no
English is not my first language.
Also I don't give fuck about grammer and sentence forming.
The poetry was written as a delusion.
