[COLOR=Purple]Is the name of my poetry book. I've got about 34 poems in it and I'll post them one at a time and wit for a reaction before posting the next.

[i][center]An Ode To The Underworld

Ah, Beautiful!
So Beautiful!
This Land We Know
As Hell!

Wide Rivers Of
Deep Crimson
And Waterfalls
Of Innocent Blood

Rotting Bodies
Everywhere
A Putrid Scent
Fills The Air

The Endless Fields
Of Red Scorched Earth
Magma Streaming
Across The Ground

And The Flames!
Oh, The Flames!
So Many Bodies
They Must Scorch

And The Fiery Hail
That Drops Like Bombs
Is So Pretty
In The Summer

The Spikes Protruding
From The Earth
Coated In Blood
Fill Me With Mirth

Oh, Beautiful
So Beautiful
This Land We Know
As Hell!

[COLOR=Purple]:animesmil Thanks, I was trying to be as delightfully dreadfull as possible. This one is my personal favorite.

[i][center]Who Am I?

I Could Tell You
If I Knew
I Am No One
Nothing New

I Don?t Exist
I Am Just Here
Whispering Things
In Your Ear

Just A Shadow
Of A Boy
Just A Spirit
Just A Ploy

Don?t Worry
I?ll Go Away
And Maybe I?ll
Exist One Day

[COLOR=Purple]Thanks again. Most of them are about feelings, I just use the underworld one as an intro. WARNING if you are a republican, you may take offense to this one. If you do, oh well, if I cared I wouldn't be posting it. I put this one early so that everyone can get a clear view of my political standpoint.

[i][center]There?s A Monster In My Closet

It?s Skin Is Scaly
It?s Texture Is Rough
It?s Claws Are Sharp
It?s Breaking My Stuff

It?s Eyes Are Dark
It?s Teeth Are Green
It?s Hair Is Mangy
It?s Really Mean

It?s Purely Evil
It?s Heart Is Thin
It Must Be A
Republican!

[font=Arial][size=2]kuroinuyoukai and IceRose, I [i]strongly[/i] suggest that you read the [u][b][url="http://otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=48241"]Constructive Criticism[/url][/b][/u] thread at the top of OB Anthology. If you are going to comment on someone's writing, then you [i]must[/i][/size][/font][font=Arial][size=2] do it constructively. If you like something, say why you like it. Go into details. IceRose, tell us what imagery exactly is it that you liked, what words in particular that you liked. Suggest changes and things to do differently. Not giving proper CC in this forum is considered spam, and it will be deleted in future.

Thorax, the vocabulary you use in your poems isn't bad; things like mangy, protruding and putrid are all words I probably never would have thought to use if I were in your position. The rhythm of your poems are really good, but some of the rhymes are a little obvious and sound sort of childish when you use them; [i]it's teeth are green/.../it's really mean[/i] sounds like something from a child's game. The abcb scheme tends to be a little detracting from the whole, but overall it's not a bad effort. Maybe you could try to include a bit more depth and subtlety rather than stating everything explicitly. It's just a thought -- something to try out and experiment with.

Also, in future please read the [u][b][url="http://otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=44313"]OB Anthology Basics[/url][/b][/u] and [b]rate your thread[/b]. All threads must be rated for maturity in OB Anthology. In future, if you forget, your thread [i]will[/i] be closed.

[COLOR=Purple]Thank you for your critisicm but I'd like to point out that some of these rhymes are meant to be obvious. For instance, There's A Monster In My Closet is meant to sound like a little kid is afraid of a monster in his closet. And as we all know, kids say the darndest things.

This next one wasn't actually meant to be a poem, I just felt like making it rhyme and when I formed this book I figured I'd put it in.

[i][center]My Last Stand

My life is always building up
Or crumbling to the ground
Sometimes I want to yell at god
But I don?t make a sound

I only wish that I could see
What I truly am
I don?t think that what I?ve become
Will keep me happy and

I?m so confused about what?s wrong
I don?t know what is going on
Am I going through a "phase?"
Have I hurt myself to long?

Some days I feel like a king
Some days treat me like sh**
But I just put myself together
And learn to deal with it

I sometimes ask if I may die
Sometimes I beg to live
I know that my life must go on
But must it be like this?

I like your poems because the dark ones I can really relate to. Your word usage was one to stir up feelings of the reader.They stirred up feelings in me that I sometimes wish I could forget. I even liked the one about the monster. I could see the monster. You were very descriptive in that poem.

[COLOR=Purple]Thanks ^_^ This one just sort of came to me.

[center]I Die

My life flashes before me eyes
I gaze up towards the dark blue skies
And the one I so despise
Gazes down at me

The blood slowly seeps around me
I already can?t feel my feet
My eyes tear up till I can?t see
And he gazes down at me

I feel the pain deep in my side
And all of my feelings subside
The one who killed me runs to hide
No one is there for me

My soul slips from my lifeless corpse
My friends and loved ones will remorse
My body and I now divorce
Life is over for me

[COLOR=Purple]thanks! I'm guessing 'all some' means 'awesome'?

What Do You Want?

Don?t Ever Be Afraid

Just Know What You Want
Be Sure It?s What You Want
And When You Know It?s What You Want
Do It

You?ll Never Get What You Want

I could really relate to this one. The words flow well and poem had a nice rhythm to it. The topic is true so true. Maybe you should write one about what happens when you know what you want and can't have it? :catgirl:

[COLOR=Purple]Thanks both of you. DNAlover this IS my poetry book, BGPNP. I'm sorry for the caps in this one buth that's how it was origionally typed... I was angry at the time. And no caps lock either, I just held the shift key >_<.

Don?t Kill Yourself

I DON'T WANT TO DIE
I DON'T WANT TO LIVE
I DON'T WANT TO EXIST LIKE THIS ANYMORE

I TEAR MYSELF APART
I THINK I HAVE NO HEART
I WANT TO PUT AN END TO THIS TRADGEDY

I THINK ITS MY TIME
I THINK I SHOULD DIE
I DON'T THINK I SHOULD TURN BACK ON MY LIFE

I WANT TO BE FREE
FROM MY LIFE'S TRADGEDY
BECAUSE ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY AND BURNING A HOLE IN ME

I HATE WHATS HAPPENING
INSIDE OF MY HEAD
SOMETIMES I WISH THAT I WAS DEAD

IM ALWAYS WISHING
ALWAYS WAITING
FOR THINGS TO COME TO AN END

I THINK THAT THE VOICES INSIDE OF ME
ARE TAKING ME A STEP TO FAR
I HAVE TO STOP IT ALL BEFORE IT ALL JUST FALLS APART

I JUST DON'T WANT TO DIE
I JUST DON'T WANT TO LIVE
I JUST DON'T WANT MY LIFE TO END BEFORE IT BEGINS[/COLOR]
