I'm taking a Poetry class this semester...

[PTGigi]

Thank you! :D
Honestly, I wasn't even thinking about the religion underpinnings of Creator but I love the different interpretations people can get from poems C:
And I won't tell you! Though I might edit it a bit down the line since you're the second person to say so.
I think the sheep's line was my favorite to write C:
Yeah, it was the day before the poem was due and I REALLY would have rather been drawing XD It is sort of a RWBY reference! Actually it was about this extra for my comic. And yep, you got Thursday/Friday exactly ;D I only did Wednesday to Sunday because that was the time between my drawing periods XD

Great poems! I love the reference to the extra page you drew for your comic. xD Thursday sounds like you were playing Darksiders II. xD I also liked the Livestock one...it's sad but true. :c Keep Moving gets me curious. I honestly wonder what it's about as well. O: I'm not good at interpreting poetry but I still like to read it. XD

Nice work. c:

I enjoy the different styles you've got here. And you have fantastic word choice!

Maybe even try a style that relies on rhyme. That takes a lot of critical thinking too! Of course, you did say that you don't write poetry outside of your class, but nonetheless my suggestions still stand.

I'm not the best at interpreting poetry, either, but I can tell that a lot of these poems are incredibly symbolic and...aren't straightforward. But there's nothing wrong with that. Great imagery!

It'd be neat to see you try some more other styles...ones that are unconventional and very stylistic. Of course a lot of those rely on literal illustration, so if anything youd need to draw them out or use some kind of typography program.

Thank you! :D And yep, Darksiders II ;D Livestock one, sad but true? D': (though honestly the inspiration for it is an inside joke where my friend kept calling me those names because I was using the "mobs in suits" skins in Minecraft X3).

I've tried rhyme a few times but it usually comes out as forced. Though one I wrote for this week has rhyme, I'll post that later today C:
Concrete poems? That's actually the assignment for next week C:

Haha yay! I got it right! Wow, really? O: I interpreted the livestock one as something along the lines of "we are nothing but livestock to people" rather than individual animals. As in, looked at as products. xD It sounded like it had that sort of tone anyway. Oh well. x3

[PerseusRad]

I've gotta say, even though I'm not much of a poetry guy, I've actually enjoyed a fair amount of these.

I guess that's a case of me having knowledge on the assignment. It's neat the different interpretations you'd get, because classmates who commented on it had a different interpretation knowing the assignment as well. O: (basically the assignment was an "Insult poem" which is a type of poem, not to purposely insult but more to use words and make witty phrases (the example given to us was actually "Yo momma" jokes XD). Hey, but I love seeing people's interpretations of things so if that's what you got from it, that's cool too C:

More poems! /o/

Keep Running
Fear demonic beast unbound,
Now released from binding chain.
Keep running, don’t turn around.

Chained talon of chimera hound,
No longer forced to remain.
Fear demonic beast unbound.

Once thought cut to ground.
Tortured soul full of pain.
Keep running, don’t turn around.

Past hurt more than present wound,
Memories vivid as bitter stain.
Fear demonic beast unbound.

Bodies falling all around,
Terraformed into lifeless domain.
Keep running, don’t turn around.

Crimson eyes track down
Those deeded best slain.
Fear demonic beast unbound.
Keep running, don’t turn around.


I Need to Play
I need to play…

…beyond farthest land,

to open her box and find hope

after monsters have been slain.

…above sullied ground,

free to breathe polluted air,

dreaming of the untainted past.

…across scattered realms,

when neither Angel nor Demon is right,

and family is gone but all that is left.

…among the glittering stars,

where all is nearly lost,

but hollowed soldier will see it through.
