i write poetry but i need to feel something any thing really strong emotion. but most of is about the brutality of humanity and usually dark-
'the process of falling over'
getting stabbed in the back...
'did my blood stain your blade? i am sorry'
lol some titles.

You sir are quite a mind reader.
You ought to be congratulated.

My apologies for assuming your gender was the opposite to what you have mentioned.
However, you did not specify your gender.

Then perhaps I should have mentioned:
You madam are quite a mind reader.
You ought to be congratulated.

Poetry is daggy in my opinion but for some reason, I love writing them =S
Depressed people tend to be great poets, trust me xD

But where can one publish their own piece of written literature for everyone to see and appreciate for everyone to see on the internet?

I'm a member of allpoetry.com . It's a pretty active community, with a lot of neat little features. Basic, but good.


Although I use it less to "show off", and more as a muse generator (writing for contests, etc) or mass source of amateur poetry (usually "private poetry", which I prefer to the more technical stuff... which IMO can suck the life out of the words).

Some depressed people are great poets, but the vast majority just seem to hit the same notes. Over and over again. Catagorising their grievance(s) into cliches rather than expressing their unique situation.

A friend of mine writes poetry about the guy she loves. She even writes poetry about her feelings, using flowers and butterflies to describe her personality. Poetry is just too icky to me. I dont write it.

Depressed people also make great artists and musicians.

Depressed people and people high on opium =P.

not just depressed...those with supressed anger like me too

 

[bawd]

Or supressed sexual charges. Not like me.

normal depressed people* are usually too self-involved to actually write poetry that doesn't inspire nausea, in my experience. it tends to be wafty, sickeningly woeful garbage.

i privately write feminist, beat-poetry.


*obviously excludes sylvia plath, etc.

Sylvia Plath = EXTREMELY depressed. I don't see how you can stick your head in the oven and not be majorly depressed. (Or however she committed suicide. I know it involves the oven.)

yes, i realise; that's why she's the exception to the rule of "depressed poets being self-indulgent wankers". i think her work is brilliant.

Soz, I worked out who I was thinking of. Sooo tired..

 

[chelsea girl]

I thought she put stones in her pockets and walked into the river. Or am I thinking of someone else...

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Yeah, thanks, I worked that out a second later.
