On poetry. Have you written one?

Writing use to be one of my passions in life. I was also fortunate to be a member of our school publication when I was in elementary in college. And in college, the poem that I wrote was published. It felt so good to see the poem that you wrote in a literary folio. And I receive great feedbacks from my friends when they read the poem that I wrote. And right now, I'm still active in writing articles. I contribute articles in a bulletin of the catholic community where I am active right now. And so far, I have written three poems that are already published there. Felt so good to share the gift that I have and to use it to glorify God

I have written children's poetry. I wrote maybe 6-7 quite a few years ago and put them in a folder which I have misplaced. I can only remember parts of some of them. But a few friends I had back then read them and said they were good. My mother liked writing poetry. I wrote a few other poems, too. Maybe 35-40 years ago. I was very depressed then but it seemed to help me write. Those poems were unhappy and strange. I've moved a lot since then and those poems have been lost. I seem to have lost my touch for poetry writing. Or maybe I'm not trying hard enough.

I wrote poems when I was in High School. It was all about the pain I felt after losing my first love. I think I made probably 20- wrote one poem a day. I found out that I did had the knack for it. I took it from my dad who used to make poems too when he was younger. He even showed me his compilation as well as the poem he did for me when I was born.

Hi, I have already written a poem when I was in third year highschool. We're required to do so I have wrote one but it is not really in my interest. I've wrote a poem about my mom. I don't remember the whole poem but I still remember the first few lines... When I was young So lovely and so sweet I used to hug my mother And kiss her to her cheek She'll say the words So tender to my ears And sing her song For me to get sleep... I don't remember what's next No one in my family knew about that poem. My mom is not hands on with regards to my studies as I am doing perfectly fine that time. But I think that it would be nice if I had shown her that poem. It was also the only poem I wrote in my life so far. I suggest that you go for your dream especially if you have the time to things like this.

I have written many poems when I was in college but after those years, I cannot make one anymore. Maybe those were the days when I get to see lots of things happening that's so wonderful to write. I mostly write about love. And my other classmates would ask me to make one for them. So they will tell me their story then I will put it into a poem. I still have them in a small notebook. I can't find it now though.

I have only written poems back in my school and university days. I can't even remember when was the last time I did write one. Well, recently, I've been amused by poem like pieces being thrown impromptu here in our country. It is called Fliptop battles where two parties tried to create poem like and rhythmic pieces to throw at the other one. They are quite amusing.

I love to write article and reviews but for poem, never did it since I was still a child. I am wondering if I can do it but I think I can make it because I tried to write a very long article about a product and entities.

Writing poetry is my way of expressing emotions and inner thoughts. When I am sad or happy I can express it better through writing and composing poems is my outlet. I want to write my emotions and read my poems to remember the feelings.

I'm not good in writing poetries. Maybe it's not just my passion. :)

Yes, I have plans of resurrecting my old passion Poetry is a way of expression of our throughts. I hope I can find time to make things back again. I still remember the first time I wrote a poem, that is when I met my first girlfriend. I completed it in 15 minutes, a 5 stanza, I think. I even wrote a screen play and collected some articles from famous directors and playwriters. I hope I can write again soon. Thanks

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well glad to know that u love writing poems and i think that is a very good habit that u have developed in your life. In fact i too used to write so many poems during my earlier days but could not continue my passion to write poems as i was always running short of time but whenever i used to get leisure time i never wasted a single moment to pen down my emotions in the form of poems. What say?

Yes, I have written one for myself. I think the title is A Princess. I was just inspired that time by my boyfriend. :) But I write if I'm in the mood. I think you can see that in my blog.

emerillus- I know exactly how you feel. Growing up I wrote poetry...alot! I was an 'emotions/emotional' writer; in otherwords, I wrote when something happened in my life and how I felt at that moment. When I look back on some of them now I giggle a little. I see when I thought I was on top of the world, or when I experienced my first heartbreak (4th grade!), or when I was very angry at something/someone. Writing is a good thing. It eases the mind, sometimes gives you peace, but most of all it lets you 'vent'. Whether it's the disappointment of a friend, the heartbreak of a lover, the excitement or prospect of what's ahead, or just daily life, I think it gives us all that place to go, where no one else hides, where you can express whatever, however you feel and there is no judgement, no retribution. So, I guess what I'm saying is write. Put it on paper so you can go back and have that moment, that moment where you remember what it was like to be a child and experience things in life through a child's eyes; or those milestones that made a 'mark' in your life. As for sharing? Well I think that's up to each individual. Some are for sharing while others are just for your eyes, ears, and heart.

i remember when i was a kid,i used to write poems,it sounds a little bit wierd and actually it can not be called poems,just little paragraphs..enjoy it!!have not written for a long time,what a shame
