Drytear.Net - The Writing Community > // Poetry - Read. Write. Discuss. // > Sadness, Sorrow, and Angst Read, Write and Discuss PoetryDryTear's Poetry Forum Expectations:
Here at DryTear, we aim to create active poetry forums full of good poetry, effective critique, and improving skills. In order to achieve our goals, we ask everyone who posts in our poetry forums to follow these simple guidelines.
1. Post your work! Whether or not you are a published poet, and new poet, or somewhere in between, we look forward to reading, analyzing, and critiquing your writing.
2. Unlike many writing sites, we do not have hoops to jump through before posting your work. However, in posting here there is an expectation that you will not only post your own poems, but also take the time to read and respond to other’s work as well. A good baseline is to comment/critique/analyze at least three poems per one poem you post in any given forum. Also, if someone takes the time to critique your piece, stop by and let them know what you think of one of theirs. Reciprocity is an excellent way to build community and knowledge.
3. When commenting, specifics are key - comments like "this is a good poem" or "i like this!" are only helpful if you point out specific things that work (or don't work). Please be sure to stay on topic, address the poem itself, and provide feedback that will help the poet develop the current poem and/or future poems.
4. This community is meant to foster writing and learning. Please treat other writers with the same respect that you wish to receive. Personal attacks and off-topic comments will not be tolerated.
Any violations of these expectations will result in the following actions, upon repeat offense:
- A reminder via PM (personal message) by a staff member.
- Moderation of posts until guidelines are followed.
- Banning from the site.

a little out of reach, for me anyway, fairy tales are unattainable

QUOTE (SergoD @ Feb 5 2010, 10:23 AM)  This evening I'm laughing At myself. I want a silly fairy tale. Ridiculous and nave. I want a little kindness ... It's silly, of course, alas. 'nave' means the central part of a church, extending from the narthex to the chancel and flanked by aisles. I think you want 'naive', unsophisticated; ingenuous. Okay: A Naive Fairy-Tale For Sergo. I thought of a fantasy in which I thought of someone else while making love to my wife. Sentiments allow me to ignore reality; they give me strength to wander forth, instead of putting a noose around my neck and jumping off a chair in my closet, although I fantasize about that too. Imagine the shock when my maid comes in to straighten out my bedroom. It makes me hot. She is really a fine looking woman. She wears one of those 'French Maid' costumes that no French maid ever wore. She bends over frequently, picking up objects she has dropped. Her little skirt pulls up and there is absolutely nothing between my eyes and her pussy but air. She says, "Oh la-la! Fifi is sooo clumsay today, ajourdui, no?" I turn with embarrassment, red faced, away from the sight. I am a nominal Christian, after all, although in my fantasies I am a Jew who outlived the Holocaust and have been amputated in a very bad place for such a view of French pussy. Then I think of the wars. There are so many to choose from; I pick the latest of them in my country; Afghanistan/Iraq/ Pakistan and of course the War Against The Terrorist Obama. This gives me someone to hate who isn't a Republican. I want to eat an ice-cream cone with chocolate frosting thickly plastered with finely shattered peanuts, I want to dance in the rain in the nude and not get wet, I want to win the biggest lottery in the world and buy everything and everyone I desire. Sometimes, I wonder if in being so sophisticated, I am actually being naive. -------------------- Some things to think about my son before you go to bed;

Hi, Robert!
It looks like I over read those sill fairy tales ... I didn't understand your comment ... "It's silly, of course, alas." Best regards, SergoD. |

Your speaker wants a naive fairy tale. So I wrote one for him. -------------------- Some things to think about my son before you go to bed;

Drytear.net
In the eyes of the
forsaken soul, silly hearts of tomorrow seem to have been damned for eternity.
Never will they have the chance to taste the putrid grime of reality, only the
sweet nectar of death.
Yet ignorance is bliss, their eyes should be left closed
for if their simple minds even caught a glimpse, a glimpse of the truth, they
would break down the door of insanity, creating chaos, and chasing the horizon
of self destruction. Now the souls that have been forsaken, due to their
enlightenment, have learned to dwell in this barren land of loneliness. Still at
times they grow weak, their frail bodies slowly bend under the horrible burden
of truth.
On rare occasions they betray themselves yearning to be in touch with
anyone else, and though this may amount to nothing, it may also destroy their
individuality. Those who do survive, live always facing the trials of time.
Their only reward is to realize the essence of immortality.
They are the keepers
of reality, reality seen through the minds eye, and there is but one place they
may gather to unite and draw strength from one another, sharing their pains,
joys, hopes and dreams, through a language common to them all, poetry.
That
place is here, Drytear.net!
