    Yes, they are very beatnik/coffee-shop type poems.

    Do you by any chance do poetry slams? Or is that just an American thing?

    (Actually, I don't even know if you are American or not)

    In case they're unfamiliar to you, I've drawn on the power of the internet.

    Basically, a competition where you recite your own poetry.

    P.S. I'm waiting for someone to say something about Americans being competitive about everything :)

    Well, I have some stuff that I've written. Alot of it is prose and some of it is spiritual. You have the "Monkey Knife Fight" up already. Anyways, I'll share some if you like.

    The Poet

    For the love to find, die and grow.
    Only the keenest of time provide.
    Love sweet matters not to poets.
    Of lives bought and time confides.

    Onward through the lengthy prose.
    Stopping only for time unquenching.
    Killing fields of amber rose.
    So soft the morning comes again.


    I cant figure out if that one is done yet. I don't think so, its missing something. I can't quite figure it out.

    I don't know if any of you have an aversion to spiritual prose. I've written some pieces but I always like to ask first. Some people have peoblems with the whole spirituality/God thing.

    I like it, but I think you're right; it does feel like there should be another bit, in fact I had to read it a few times to make sure I didn't miss something - then I saw what you wrote afterwards about it missing something. :)

    I would like to see some spiritual stuff; you can start a new thread for it if you like, and you can have some/all of them put on your page too, which you can get to via the Dream Fiction button above by the way. :)

    I think the poem is lovely. I don't know if it needs more. I like
    things that are concise and to the point.

    I don't mind spiritual stuff as long as it is real art and an expression of your inner feelings, and not a thinly disguised attempt at preaching.

    Time

    From dust to dust all things return,
    Into the ground.

    Linear time unfolds like a gathering,
    Of saintly sound.

    For my eyes alone the sands do run,
    Falling, failing sand.

    Sight, sound, body, mind. Eternal time,
    Stops for no man.

    Thank you for that; I used to argue with my friends that there is no such thing as time, that it's always 'now' - but I'm not so sure about that anymore. :)

    P.S. is the 'thing' on the first line supposed to be 'things'?
