Silent In the Rage

Silent in the rage
Not for long
When simple clicks lead
to journeys for all of us
To partake in
As red
All red
Grips the splendid moment
Maybe subjective but
At least it's here
Have we outlined
Our cool's usefulness
Has it been displaced for
Alternative emotions
And mixed devotions
Leftover from when we
Cared less about such things
Peering at youth
I used to know
Feeling circumstantial
And no effort or ticket needed
It stays
It plays
Reverbs only when the
Truth gets way too loud
Proud
Let those or that which
Enables
Our ability to change
See the errors of every way
Everyday
All roads point to the
Compass
Which has no idea
Sans the fact
It needs to try.

Premium Member Poetry Cannot Be Compared

Personal preference enters into every poetry contest 
Outstandingly subjective
Enticing to one is repulsive to two others
Tricky to judge poems unless there are blatant errors
Ridiculous with a capital R to compare a poem against another
You can try though.  Snicker. Snicker.

Comparing one poem to another is like comparing a flea to mirror.
Awesome to you is too dull for me to finish reading.
Notoriously wonderful to me is something you do not like a whit.
Normal people do not even read poetry, and yet, here we are….
Often contests shut down new poets who do not realize the numbers game.
Takes guts to put feelings to paper, and you may have to enter ten to win one.

Beautiful poetry to me is a waste of ink to you.
Enthusiasm captures my eyes, but only when written in my preferred styles.

Creativity sashays in a variety of ballets and watusi.
Outstandingly subjective. I cannot stress this enough!
Metaphoric writes intrigue me, yet I do not do them myself.
Poetry is pronouncedly purposefully a preferred personal preference.
A win means the judge liked it at this second at this minute of her day.
Reality is that you, as a poet, have to write like a painter has to paint.
Especially remember when reviewing and critiquing your own poetry,
Despite everyone else’s opinion, do you like it yourself? That is the key.

unhampered    
      unclouded 
         clear precise
     memoirs of the mind
hollowed out of time

in domains dissected
         yellow harvests
         fading foliage
          leaves     birds&trees
depicted
    with an unusual eye

a spontaneous overflow
                       of feelings
                             exposed
the rarest
           of qualities
exquisitely
     executed&
                     engraved

without fluence
         in infinite patience
         vital& neccessary
         bursting with life
         yet
          tender&
                   exhuberant

marginalia
          footnotes&epigrams
          imitations worthy of notice
     subjective
                particular
         in mood    &    nature

a miasma
       intent on definition
in visions   of    dells knooks & corners
of paradise
in
a pitch of poetic intensity
vivid brilliancy
        mist dreaming glimmers
upon
        gaudy daylight

What makes a poet, be a poet?
What makes a pilot, be a pilot?
What makes a janitor, be a janitor?
Circumstances bears some weight.
Determination will unlock doors that circumstances bars.
Natural abilities also bears weight in what they call, 'a gift'.
Same rules applies, doors will unlock that circumstances bars.
It is a 'cake-walk' if there are no barriers to their goal/s, whether be a poet or a pilot.
Are you a good poet? That is subjective and left to interpretation.
However, that sort of statement is not applicable to a pilot, until the plane crashes.
If it has been determined, not to be an act of God, nor the fault of the plane, then we will know that it was pilot error.
A poet can be raw, use simple vocabulary, and be 'street savvy'.
A poet can be educated, English major, knows A-Z of a dictionary, and a walking Thesaurus.
NOW, in this high tech world, the former is easily identifiable, because of its perpetual use of it, whereas, the latter, it is debatable without a piece of paper with a University name on it.
I believe an unwritten 'pure thought' makes a good poet.
I know that of what I have written, some have been written by others, namely my mom songs, my older brother 'Sandless Sandcastles' (he supplied the title), some from friends who are nameless to me of some circa in my lifetime, then again, if it were.
It is safe to say that most that were written and dated here on PoetrySoup, are mines.
My quotes, like most quotes, who knows who said them first, lest it was recorded on paper, and then again, what if it was said before that recording, by another, who may have been famous as well, and was stolen only because it was never recorded.
I can say that the majority, if not all, are my own quotes.
Some are newly, noted, quotes here on PoetrySoup.

Then, there is the third poet, one that is a true natural. Not of the streets, nor well learned, but a true 'gifted talent'. Their words are lights of their souls that they pull from their hearts and share with this world.

Just do not ever stop, Soupers--not for the slightest--Write On!

RECOGNITION

RECOGNITION

I wonder, is there an eternal truth
A concept ignored in busy youth
Yet some claim it is real, forsooth
But isn’t everything a mere fiction
All subject to subjective depiction
Or is it out there, for all to find

The comfort of loving brings relief
Yet the hoping for it requires belief
Or is it like an autumnal falling leaf
With something greater to discover
Rejecting a story to accept another
Maybe indecision of a different kind

Distractions require one not to waver
Personal sacrifice and strict behaviour
Giving recognition to the one saviour
For the few, commandments are law
Such a view is based on faith for sure
Rare, in a logic-driven scientific mind

For recognition, truth is in the name
Cognition is still thought all the same
But considering options is not a game
For many, it’s their chosen way of life
That seems to help with joy and strife
Offering a way through the daily grind

Undoubtedly the Influence of Everyday Events

Self doubt and self confidence
are a result of your environment
so is happiness so is depression
undoubtedly the influence
of everyday events
subjective oppression or pressure
those days which are intense
they build or make you lesser
yet both leave their indents
be it humiliated failure
or success beyond your sense
will add or chip at layers
become what one expects
but you can change the flavour
the same way light deflects
make yourself the stranger
rid of your defects
the change is but a drainer
but not of intellect
on spirit put this strainer
don't give in to stress
the scope stays as your aimer
walk on nonetheless
and you will be the victor
who made yourself your best

Premium Member When It Is Winter

When It Is Winter

Whence from shine the seasons to whom and to where

High on snow peaked mountains sits the Buddha under a fir tree

Exalted warm in the glow of change and stillness he mediates

Never ending contradictions assembles frost transcends right there


In the heat of the desert Northern lights shed their guidance

To similar truth’s complementation seek meaningful sense


In abandon vast perception’s years cycle from our point of views

Swift within and without riches and scrap heaps of dissimilar hues 


When periods swell and spell interchange across planets and orbit

In constant revolution vison blind folded deceptions and ruses

No one come high tides water or drought can simply absorb it

The winter is summer as spring turns to autumn and perspective

Emerges in harmony when my lights in the South levitate from

Reclusion where wise humans freeze sweat which is highly subjective

Vamp Through Idyllic Darkness

Vamp through idyllic darkness
The silent void willing to cradle you for a while
Only a while
Dance alone
Dance together
Just move in any case
Guidance is subjective
Available only through wicked heat and token redemption
Sit center
Sit still
Let the lack of motion propel you to unearthly heights
Those suggested by derelicts which spot the dormant horizon
In they walk
In they stammer
Leveling granite and assumptions with every stumble
Cozy in the still life which captures blooms and blemishes
Searching for core which alludes even the earnest traveler
And the original sin leaves a pedestrian skid mark
Against the surface that dares not breathe a word.

Premium Member Blake An Isolated Genius

like a dying flame
            looking down
from
a 
fired coloured
                      sky
a visionary
    in his earthly
                        life

mysterious
in every detail
          tempetuous
and yet
subjective

a lonely genius
mused
     by fierce 
           inspirations
                tearing
imaginations asunder

visions
     of paradise
     in near
        abstracted clouds
                               of colour
delicate
detailed
      often sombre
the spirit
of a willing mind

writing
       designing
             engraving
printing
     copper plates
on a rolling press
&
a poet
       so sublime

     none-the-less

Premium Member The Meaning of Happiness

The voice of freedom.
The thought of faith and hope,
Within our hearts,
Within our minds,
Becomes part of our soul.
This is what makes us who we are.
The veins in our bodies are like,
Roads in search of true nirvana,
Which leads us to true independence,
 Freedom in our lives.
Sometimes it takes us lifetimes, 
To try and find these lives,
Which show us our happiness.
Most people you pass on the road,
In life will still be searching for their,
Ideal subjective idea of happiness.
Independence, freedom, the ability,
To move freely in this plain of,
Existence or the next,
That is true happiness.
The meaning of happiness is shown,
To be different things to different people.
For all it's an individual and,
Personal attribute to only a selected few.
The picture of happiness is,
What movies are made of.
The pot of gold at the end of the,
Rainbow- Is this truly what we have,
Earned or never being able,
To attain such riches.
Happiness is not about money,
But about wisdom and knowledge,
Within the heart and soul.
This is truly the meaning of happiness.
