Well said. I agree.joe

Well said. I agree.

A rhyme rings false
if it is forced.
A metaphor has no meaning
if it has nothing to say.
Emotion contrived
reads as a lie.
Meter works in Latin or Greek
but it forces verses tor syllable sake
and content can read as fake.

Poetry is what in a poem

Poetry is what in a poem makes you laugh, cry, prickle, be silent, makes your toe nails twinkle, makes you want to do this or that or nothing, makes you know that you are alone in the unknown world, that your bliss and suffering is forever shared and forever all your own. ― Dylan Thomas

Loved

Though this piece has been used as a comment to Laura, it has a good message running through it.
My writing as you probably know is straight from think, I find it so hard to sort out words and silly-bulls.
Only rarely will I conform, I hope that the free works take the place of strict meter, as true free thought comes with a freedom of words.
Probably if I had been taught the old way I would have a different thought on the way of poetry,
Yours Ian..

A bit self-agrandising , Loved

Do you think the first stone-chipper got it right? We learn from what has been done before to avoid cliche

cheers,

Jess, what does it matter as long as you create exceptional music with words.

Many don't comment on my poetry, but enough do to keep me on track. My poems are ""free flow"":
it works for me .

best to you, my friend

There was no way I supported the write, I pointed out that this as usual for Loved was a copy of a comment he made on a poem by Laura.
But as usual you have gone against your own rules, if you would comment or critique more on our poetry I wouldn't mind your words but this comment serves no purpose other than to down Joe , Loved and myself for taking the time to write and comment.
I am tired of this hierarchy that pretends to love poetry and seem in the long run to pick and choose who they want to have a go at.
About time some of our so called good poets took the time to do what this site is for, and if I remember right it is to teach, critique and help the members here.
Here is a quote from one of our teachers:-

"Critique, don’t comment. Neopoet is primarily a workshop environment".
https://www.neopoet.com/community-guidelines
or teach by example, there are great poets here.
The more you give the more you get.

Loved's piece above was not a poem, it was a copy of a comment, I thought you would have known, I have no idea why Loved keeps duplicating these things maybe you should ask that question.
Yours as always Ian..

u r Joe, with a long tenure and poetic degree

ask them all
WHAT IS THEIR PEDIGREE???
lest they explode like volcanoes at me
Hiroshima cometh
Loved goeth
if that alone be poetry
revise thy minds will ye
why was Shakespeare born unlike any one on Neopoet
as he had a mind of his own
here some guys want to press and depress
being themselves so complex
but
good this piece has generated a voluptuous ideology
just for free take it as an education
change with times or end up in flames
and
say not,
tis blasphemy
this is my vision here again of poetry
you may
freely
CURSE ME.

We all are intelligent men;

We all are intelligent men; we simply see things differently. The danger of any opinion is that it become irrefutable doctrine .I don't think we have gotten to that point. It is healthy to discuss all these views as long a s we keep it at the level of academic debate. We can't risk any ad hominem critique to
support our views. Once that happens, I m out of the debate.

the 'bugs' in the machinery!

they oft get zapped
mesmerized by their own
satanic magik

old days they just had a joyous
celebration in the old medieval
town square

hmm..television not being what it
is anymore..

I agree Lovedly
many start here and develop
and some lay lame the excuse
of lame which is lame
what a shame
let our work in stature
cast a shadow
for then we are no
materialess ghouls

a great Halo to U

what a poet

what a poet
X and Y combined
thou art

I knew from the very start

in the cover of darkness sail boats like every day some more in weight weigh MORE Y than X today have a chromosomatic date today all the way miles away from ontario to the worls most corner today let words of poetry play X and Y or vice versa the world still needs younger ones 7.5 billions will soon fade away come let's play have a jolly good day the Internet sceams thrrough life's way where on Earth due you reside today come Mars and Venus will play some day one day if not today

question authority

bumper sticker on this tiny hard assed
short haired good looking brilliant lesbian friend of mine
funny cause now she made it to a big city councillor
position in a high end city
said to me once
we are hanging about much
'people think we are lovers'
'let the masses be asses'
the way worlds going we are either gonna be
left with a bombed out destroyed world
or dictators gonna take over
bring back the gualags and ovens
it always happens through history
why i remain apolitical and ambigious
surviving is important
neither for
neither or
always have a plan
and an escape door
