The difference between a song and a poem

Now the difference between the two is rhythm .
I’n poetry you have one set of rhythm and that is the syllables.
now I’m a song the rhythm of the syllables act as an acrobat trying to balance on a beam of a constant beat.

My hectic relationship with health

I’m going to have another brain surgery it will my sixth in these past two years . Because they believe that my shunt is over draining.

to be a REAL Neopoet...

come on guys. you know how it works...YOU Don't just slap down a poem and then run off to whatever it is you do!!! in order to be a GOOD and REAL Neopoet, you read other neopoet's poems and then COMMENT on what you just read, and be supportive and helpful!!!

Losing my creativity

I just joined this site recently. I have posted some poems that were written years ago. I have tried to write something new, but my mind is blank.

I take a lot of psych medication. I believe it is causing my brain fog. Argh!

I just want to have my old way of thinking. Years ago before the medication, I had poems stuck in my head. It was just a matter of writing them down. Now I am lucky to just get through the day.

It really does suck. I have a little notebook that I keep with me. It is for jotting down ideas. So far it is blank.

I deplore...

when poets fly in, DROP their business (a poem etc.) then fly back out without consideration or thought for other poets! more interested in gathering praise than being a real member of the site Neopoet! yes, I deplore and am saddened by this occurrence.

thanks for letting me unload, Cat

let me rephrase: I hate the actions, not the poets

The night we met

chapter 1
.
Her eyes like a sword pierced me
with an immense sense of purity .
She smiled timidly with her jaw subtly shaking.
She meekly murmured out the words “ h-h-hello you m-may call me Yolita“.
I smiled and softly sent back “ how do you do my name is Marlowe “.
she replied “I’m im d-doing ok-kay I’m j-j-just nervous
yes nervous ” .
I responded “ nervous about what? if you don’t mind me asking”.
She paused for a moment

on commentary and such

On a poetry site which prides itself on being a workshop type site it should be taken for granted that everybody will get Some feedback to help us all become better writers. Many struggle with leaving such commentary. This is understandable since there are site where honest comments are often met with hostility. What is NOT understandable to me is to receive comment then not bothering to respond. A simple "thank you for the read" is not much effort.
