[hometext] => Group Writes are started in the forums, and once finished added here. Please feel free to join in, or contact the moderators for more information. (The poem is set out with the contributing author's name above their contribution to this group write.)
[bodytext] => Leprechaun, Guest:- How that bag sags with coins, mister! That crown you wear stoops your head How it sags down your shoulders, And fetters your spirit to your bed! So you ask: why write poetry? It can't bring profit you say: Yet I live in Bacchus' myst'ry And find cheer in me day by day! Serendippitty, Newbie:- Why write poetry, you ask? Perhaps to express your soul In a melodic and rhytmic way that comes from the heart and feels good on the whole? Maybe its to put your words in a special way so that they dash across the page and make them fun to say? Who knows why one writes poetry? But does one really care? One writes whats on the mind... and salute all those who dare! poetrygodslove, Resident- Why write poetry ? well let me see maybe it is because it makes me feel free to express my feelings either it be good or bad or let you know how GOD made me glad... Why write poetry? for all the world to see that one can write poetry and hope it may rhyme but it will last forever until the end of time... Why write poetry? because of long ago and far away no one knew what do do but say..... it in a poem whisper it in ones ear lay on a blanket and year after year telling one you love them in a special way that you will always love them in maybe actions but in a poem you can say.... lil_angel, Resident:- (you can say....) how you feel and what you see your feelings on a topic or what the voices are saying Poetry is too escape the gruling world if only for a few moments of each day to say what you are too scared to say face to face To learn, to live, to breath that is why i write poetry what would your reasons be? Atrides Agamemnon, Guest:- Mere fools ask, "why poetry?" Mere words are not enough. Mere words alone say naught- Mere words and sentences are dead. But words rearranged, words reformed Words brought to a palette called a soul Transmitted by a brush known as the mind Unto a canvas known as human language Gladdens the soul, restores its strength And sends men upon a jig Up into Heaven. Vitreous_Soul, Resident:- Writing is an escape for me My home away from home Tangled thoughts i've never spoken I've spun into a poem To leave the sphere of reality Find the refuge I seek To express the love I cannot give And bring me strength when I am weak To mend the scars upon my soul Uncage my mind and set it free To find myself and unlock my heart The key is forged of poetry Seven Jars of Blood, Guest- No more, no more do we say: For we shall triumph in the end, miser! Poetry we shall use, poetry shall we prime, Poetry shall be our weapon And the rivers will run red with the blood Of those that oppose the revolution. Soon there will be one loud shout, Soon there will be one great work, For we poets are comrades-in-arms Fighting for a single world, For a single race Whose breasts you still split And whose blood you spill still To you, poor brothers We will write In our poetry The new manifesto That shall be your emancipation. Poetry shall be our weapon And the rivers will run red with the blood Of those that oppose the revolution. Soon there will be one loud shout, Soon there will be one great work, And you shall raise your eyes And see the dawn of your salvation. Soulless, Newbie- Why write poetry you ask To dip our souls in temptation And express our inner self Refresh thoughts and minds Stir and mix our inner muscles And bring alive our sensations Why write poetry you ask Well the answer here is simply this why not I ask Jellybellyprincess, Resident:- lyrical pen strokes grace the snowy slate and thoughts are transformed into music of the written word preserved here in the undying realm of poetry where moments remain for eternity Jarmen_Kell, Dweller:- I write sweet verses, To sow a seed of hope in The Genesis of dreams. Happiness, Resident:- Writing poetry is liberating. It's a way of celebrating the inner workings of a mind disposed to meditating. Fascinating it is to see how ambivalent my reaction can be to words I expell, which both, comfort and vexation propel. Jarmen_Kell, Dweller:- I profit from truth I profit from subtlety. I live off poetry. I will build the towers of tommorow, every day From the bricks of yesterday's quarries And then when I stand emancipated all shall say, "This is testament to God's glories!"

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
