DryTear'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.

We were drunk
like always And out of weed So my brother and I started hitting resi out of my bubbler You couldn't get a hit So I filled it up for you And you cleared the smoke That's when you gave me that look like you were impressed or turned on or trying to figure me out The look that made me feel sexy and significant every time And when we went to bed Drunk and stoned and losing ourselves in sex I believed everything you told me This post has been edited by ignorethemeter: Feb 9 2010, 05:25 AM -------------------- Rules for writers
Always remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never be used. Avoid cliches like the plague. |

-------------------- *~ Love Will Tear Us Apart ~* When routine bites hard, And ambitions are low, And resentment rides high, But emotions won't grow, And we're changing our ways, Taking different roads. Then love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side. Is my timing that flawed? Our respect runs so dry. Yet there's still this appeal That we've kept through our lives. But love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. You cry out in your sleep, All my failings exposed. And there's a taste in my mouth, As desperation takes hold. Just that something so good Just can't function no more. But love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. By: Joy Division |

Really enjoyed the form here, my sister had a bubbler and it was excellent, also curious about the implications of the last line, nice.

Thanks all for the kind words and the attention you've paid to this poem. Bubblers are great aren't they? The one I'm talking about here has three chambers actually; it's mind-boggling. And you're right, as far as I'm concerned, the whole poem is in the last line. -------------------- Rules for writers

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!
