There are plenty of styles of writing to chose from on OP

I had posted this Jezzy….
I know that most will say, "If you don't like 'em, don't read 'em."
The only problem with that declaration is, I have to at least begin to read
something before I realize that I don’t like it.

I never discriminate against any of the genres.

Papa, I do not discriminate…….A choice is a choice. I never said that
dark poetry should not be allowed on this sight, nor did I say that soft
delightful poems should be the only poetry here on OP.

how can we see light
with out the bad
how do we know whats good
with out exhaustion
how can we feel pure energy
with out contempt
how can we express appriciation
with out hate
on what do we base our love
with out the evil
how do we pick our saints

From the bleachers black with people, there went up a muffled roar,
Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore.
"Kill him! Kill the umpire!" shouted someone from the stands;
And it's likely they'd have done so, had not gogant raised his hand.....

RE: Where have all the gentle poems gone....???

I think people should write what they feel regardless of who gets offended. I am not good with writing dark poetry because i don't have a lot of dark experiences but some of our friends here can only express this through their writing. The only thing I will say is write from the heart no matter the content but dont write to follow the crowd. I am sensing a lot of that going on. Other than that, stay true to who you are and if the readers don't like it then oh well! On a different note, if you want to read gentle poetry then take a look at mine from time to time. I offer a little bit of every emotion you could possibly imagine.

Have a great day everyone and remember, poetry is about freedom and self expression.

Stay true to who you are.

A gentle poem, a love story really, by Springsize!

RE: Where have all the gentle poems gone....???

As many of you have discovered, the Ode to Cars series is a reaction to the deepest part of my brain that is being influenced by my surroundings. As a result of this forum, 7 has been released.

Gogant, you'll find this gentle.

Be sure to also catch up on 1-6.

RE: Where have all the gentle poems gone....???

I just wanted to say that I don't think this post was offensive in any way, and if people take it that way, then that is their choice. But, I do not understand why it would be offensive to ask such a question. I just think gogant was being honest and asking sincerely. I love what was written by one of the commenters here: Voice your dis-satisfaction without fear of insult, Disagree to agree, but do not retreat, but rather to stick to your poetic guns.

I understand gogant's post and I am not on here enough to know what the majority of the poems are like. I have not written any dark pieces but I just don't have it in me or it is not my style or passion to write about. Take care everyone!

for my semi-plagiarism, but I couldn't help but give yours a bit more of
gentleness.....

RE: Where have all the gentle poems gone....???

hmmm... well i guess some of my poems are gentle, except my early ones... i just find that talking about real-life is easier. I mean, i go through stuff everyday. its not always fluffy and soft. sometimes its down right scary. ~Audrey

Check out kah's poem "Language" for not only a gentle poem but an unbelievably emotive one.
ginga for 2poems

RE: RE: Where have all the gentle poems gone....???

I second that emotion..........truly.............

RE: Where have all the gentle poems gone....???

I am honestly quite surprised at the backlash that this forum received and sorry I didn't find it when it was at it's peak of discussion. Still I feel I have to say my piece.

Shame on all of you for blasting Gogant. He has said nothing derogatory about any particular type of poetry. I read this topic as a musing of sorts I guess you could say.

While if anyone has read any of my poems, and I know a few of you have Gogant included, I am not a happy go lucky poet. I write of sadness and loss but everytime that Gogant has commented it has always been constructive and inspirational.

RE: Where have all the gentle poems gone....???

mindnumbing has a new thanksgiving piece... you should give it a read...

You're a peach, Mayuna, and I do so much enjoy your works of poetic beauty.
Dano……..Sounds like a good thing to do…….read a good ol' poem
that has to do with a family-loving time of year…….Now, if we could
only get those turkeys in a good mood, things would really be spiffy.

Why did the turkey cross the road ????
Because he wasn't chicken….

RE: Where have all the gentle poems gone....???

Poets,
Check out Hampton's poem: "From White to Grey to Black"
I found it simply mesmerizing

Along with Teardrops, "Road to Life"

Awesome
