Now, here I'd like to share with you all my little poetry corner posted on the right hand side of this page. There are currently 9 poems there - and I'm never sure when I'll add to this, so this will do for now.
With my poetry, I'm not a massive fan of it and the majority of everything I write is satire - just to take the piss out of other kinds of poetry. This is because I just feel it's much lesser than other forms of literature. A debatable point, but I don't understand how a paragraph of metaphor could ever be more moving or difficult to write than an entire novel of themed brilliance.
So with this in mind, here is a small summary of my poetry so that people can read what they're most interested in. Click on the title to go to the poem.
In no particular order:
- The Obligatory Sex Poem - This is by far my most popular poem. It's mainly because it is funny and has the word 'sex' in it. This poem gets a lot of views from people typing 'sex poem' in on Google. Still, it's just a satire poem based on in the writing world there is an abundance of sexual poetry. So this is my take. (It's a little mature, but generally written for humour rather than revealing about me. Avoid this if you're a relative of mine though, might be awkward. :P)
- Mr Todd - This poem is probably one of my better crafted poems. It's a fan-fiction poem of Sweeny Todd, which is my favourite musical. It is rhythmic and probably one of my only good non-satire poems. It's based on the original story and the modern versions - so read this if you like Sweeny Todd.
- Peter Killigrew. Pirate and Post Office Worker - This is a poem from my 'alter-ego' at work. It's an accented poem, so difficult for some to read, and again, a satire. Peter Killigrew is a real historical pirate from the 18th century and he also ran the Falmouth post office, which was the main post office for the entirety of England at the time. Not much is really known about him, but this is my characterised version.
- My Horse Wears Converse All-Stars - This is another satire poem that I wrote a long while back. It's mainly a quirky poem with not much concern for animal accuracy. It's provided just to provoke a smile. So give it a read. :)
- Creative Procrastination - The title of this poem is based on the reason why I wrote it. I was procrastinating of writing something worthwhile, so instead - this came out. It's very short and feels more like a 'feedline'-'punchline' kind of joke.
- Bane Poetry - This is a satire of an 'emo' type poem, ironically writing poetry about why I dislike writing poetry. I don't actually dislike writing poetry, but you might want to read this if you want to see how easy it is to have a popular poem on a writers website, even if it is crap.
- Spilled - This is the first real poem I every wrote when I was young and teenagerish and thought I was all deep and confusing and stuff. It sort of stems a few ideas of philosophy I had back before I knew philosophy is a thing. I'm a little embarrassed about this now, but I guess it's not bad for a 15 year old.
- Nobody is Lonely... Everyone is Alone - This poem is a satire about inside languages and friendship, highlighting annoying people and that sometimes you just need time to yourself. It's ideal as a poem if you're an introvert. And it's nicely structured... :P
- Ode To My Mum - This last one is a little poem I wrote for my mum for Mother's Day. It's just a little amusing, quirky and sweet generally. I avoided it being overly soppy, so I hid it under humour and this was the result. Probably one of the better ones to read as a relative of mine. :P
Thank you ever so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed at least two of these. If you liked one, don't hesitate to share it with someone; post it yourself somewhere if you like - so long as you credit me for it. :) Leave a comment on any of the poems if you like - spread the love or hate. I don't mind... :D
Ciao for now!
