Since you can’t post unfinished poems on the board this thread exists. Here you can post what you’ve got so far to get help. Of course you can't post finished poems here  Good luck! |

| What's in a name? King For A Couple Of Days Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 2451 | Misanthropist: Try to just write without thinking of how it looks, sounds or turns out. That might help. Or you could write in a completely different way from what you usually write. Other ways to go is just to let poetry rest altogether for a while. Meanwhile you could begin on stories, write diary entries and/or make parts of theatre manuscripts (so that your writing skills don’t get rusty). Personally I find that listening to new music or reading new poems (not GSB poems) help a lot. I hope this can help you as well.  |
| What's in a name? King For A Couple Of Days Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 2451 | Desperate for attention: It’s a very common kind of poetry with its short rows, lack of punctuation, AABB rhyming and very simple vocabulary. If you in spite of that want to complete it then I suggest that you use this site as a help. Because one of the problems with rhymes is that it can be very restricting. Often they are forced to make the poem move along. To continue the poem you can 1) put it aside and try to find inspiration through other peoples poems (or any kind of written work) or 2) think about what story you want to tell (what you wan to say with your poem) and/or what feeling you want to communicate to the reader. Hopefully you began writing for a reason and if you can pin point that and stick to it you might be able to finish your poem. Otherwise my suggestion is that you give up on this poem and drop by at the “Poetry Tips 2” thread and read the tips there Good luck! ^_^ |

| The Doctor Falling In Love With The Board Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 8786 | Hmm...  A few bits and pieces... Roses of mould blooming in the frosty, dormant garden of Hell. What is this cloud of smoke in front of me? Dragon's sly breath circling tauntingly A heartbeat I hear a heart beat, not mine, not mine my ticking halted long ago. |
| totoro Geek Age: - Gender: - Posts: 335 | As she looks into the mirror Facing the last person she wanna see She’s trading her fears for drugs and fascination Keeping her head raised high and love away from her heart Keeping her head over water Trying not to sink, sink deep down Further down and down Until the bottom hits And crash… =] I think it's a little short *pokes poem* But I also think I made it seem like as if it was finished there  Like, as if it was hard to continue after the crash...  I suck XD |
| What's in a name? King For A Couple Of Days Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 2451 | To Joan of Arc: Writers block? Are you stuck? Perhaps you just need to put it aside for a while and continue later. That’s one thing I do quite frequently and it works real well (at least for me). I Kiss Girls [[Faggot]]: Yeah, it is perhaps a little short  Nah, it’s not that hard. You know this movies and stories that start with the ending? You can do something like that. Keep this first stanza in italics and write the rest in regular text (or whatever it should be called xD). Then you just come back to the crash in the last stanza. Or you could write about what happens after the crash, either that or you can add verses explaining what happened before (and put the stanza you have as the last one in your poem). You might want to use punctuation too. Hope that helps. Good luck!  |
| Milk King For A Couple Of Days  Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 3741 | Oh, um... I have an unfinished poem here, that I need help with. It's called deadbeat, and it's about my uncle who has a drug problem, he is in debt to everyone, and has to leave town. He buys and sells crystal meth, crack and heroin. I guess this is how I feel, but I need help finishing it. Deadbeat High up on your web Of 'intricate' lies You're stuck there waiting For your hope to rise When you stop snorting (deadbeat) When you're done extorting (deadbeat) When you fill your empty soul Come back to the winnning team It's not like we can't see it You really try to hard You're an effortless addict Who's left everyone scarred And that's it, I can't really think of the last verse I need. =S I think it's not a poem but a song, sort of. It's really confusing me now |
| Dead End Girl Addict  Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 10219 | Milk:I wouldn't rush it. It takes me weeks to sometimes finish songs. I have verses and choruses just lying about. If it's really annoying you, I'd take a break for a while. It'll come to you |
