Poets Unite! Thread

[Thranon]

I noticed we have a bunch of music discussion threads, but I don't see any for posting your own lyrics. And since lyrics are poetry set to music except rap I thought I'd start a poetry sharing thread.

So, what ya waiting for?

Here and here.

Thanks! Reading over them now,they look good! Though I prefer more rhythm to my poetry,many poets write that way, so I won't judge.

Is anyone here a fan of Charles Bukowski? To be honest I'm not really a fan (than again, I'm not really a fanboy in general), but I like "No leaders please" and some others.

Jose Antonio Primo De Rivera's personal poetry

Toast[35] (July 19, 1925)
We have drunk the sun dissolved in wine
And the blood of carnations in gazpacho;
For neighbour at the table I've had
An old, lusty faun, a stud.

Don Pedro is Andalusian, loud, of fine mien,
And every time he utters the wisecracks of the cad
He speaks them with the gay laughter of the lad
And the knowledge of an old libertine.

In the end the tablecloth was rent in wounds,
And there did the blushing roses drop
On the caries of the worn tabletop.

And amid the essenced aroma of the roses
We savoured the kisses of the goddesses
In glasses of wine from Orbaneja.

Intimate Poem[35] (1925)
Let's dwell in the world
Yet let's keep ours apart
In a recess of the heart.

A world of our own
Where your hours and my hours pass
Intimately, luminously,
And no one to disturb us.

Soleá[35] (1930)
Gardens of Paterna, Time
Fell down a white well
Under the lemon tree.

This is nice! I didn't know we had a Poem thread! I write more short story work but my friends here at uni love poem stuff. Would love to see some peoples works! (I'll read the forums to. Poets, please post! )

I'm not much into poetry, But I clicked the lexicon link in the top left and took the lexicon quiz and got paired with W.B. Yeats. So I am gonna try and read some of his stuff.
