Upbeat & Happy!!!

[Howie]

Me being guilty myself, but I have noticed that the poems and writings in the Artist's corner are quite depressing or morbid. If someone were to take a glance for the first time at the Artist's Corner they would hang themselves. I for one use it as a release & I know that is most likely why others have written around this format. When you feel somthing Bad it helps to write about it. Anyway is there anyone out there who would like to share a nice poem? I woke up to glance at the sky. the sun! Glaring at me , asking why? Today is a new day to make the most of the choices you have! Everyone has been delt a hand. While some better than others, it is all on where you stand. For one can glance and skowel at the sun. While another takes his chance for his day has just begun. (kind of cheesy but it is out of my nature)

Nice poem man and good idea, here's one of my older ones... Angel From Above The night sky smiled down upon us. The sand was clean and warm. We lay as waves roll inward. Our moment away from the storm. As seagulls roam like the king of birds. And tree leaves act as if their own. This time we lay silent and alone, Upon the beach the star light shone. On us, on us alone. For that breif moment I felt- That she was made for me. The waves on dry sand pelt- Then wake me from this sea; A sea ingulfed by utopian love, With angels floating o'er. She came to me from above- The angel I adore. From above the thunder broke. Rain it showered round. Through the clouds did lightning poke- Then strike unto the ground. Our love it carried us away, No need for us to walk. Going home, trees they sway, From wind and lightning shock. And all was calm in this weather. I had the girl, so none the better. On this tightened rope did teather, Waiting for the chains to fetter. Break free of all the world. And Sink into your love. Into the arms of this girl. The one sent from above.

"upbeat..and...happy" sounds like my art teacher. "have i got...your........attention? good.......now, today.....we.....will...be...." in her happy, smiley, cheesey voice. if this was a synthesized voice you'd go into settings and see Pitch Fluctuation: [---------------------|]1000000 Pauses between Random words: (*)God, Yeah ( ) No Happiness Level: [---------------------|]1000000

Yeah most of my poems can be interpreted as morbid. But the fact is morbid poems are easier to write. A dead body is easier to paint than Mona Lisa. Did a picture of a smiley face win the Turner Prize? No, a sheep disected in half and a car battered with pidgeon shit did. Morbid is easier. But I'm a nice guy really

[privatexeyes]

yeah, that's a really good point. and it's a lot easier to relate to then happyish stuff. atleast for me..... eh. i like morbidness.

[:: astounded ::]

I can be morbid Damned Lo, to be held in captivation. Bound by leathery straps so thick. Spoiling my mind for insipration. For lack thereof, my death be quick. Mine appendages do slowly cease to twitch. Their last ounce of feeling pleading in pain. A cold, too harsh to bear, blood runs thick. All sweet memories torn in vain. I die. For a moment my soul suspends, reflects. A still corpse swinging in defeat. Oh, if my being could somehow reject, The horror of my earthly retreat... To hell.

[privatexeyes]

ouh, yeah. now that's my kinda poetry.

nice poems in here.....i can see some talent brewing!!! the damned poem rocks i might make one up now...ere goes twisted lane recoils in hammers thunder sweat pores erupt around thy living tissue smiths mind works, battling kings hunger eye reflects skill, blood clots no longer an issue the end in english this means a hammer is striking a metal object, which i signify as twisted lane as the molecules in the metal are like a lane..flowing electrons sweat pores erupt are saying that a person is immersed in great effort the smith is working the metal, and is battling a death sentance if he gets it wrong, which is the kings hunger....putting people to death eye reflects skill is the smith seeing his precision in his work, and blood clots no longer an issue is that the smith wont be put to death....his blood will continue to fow another day catchya ppls'

That's is some good stuff!!!!!! Astounded is right. Angel From Above - awesome. That goes to show all poems do not have to be melencolly. However like myself I only seem to be inspired to write or paint when I am down in the dumps. Back to Angel from Above. The way you wrote that put me right there in the scene, just as it should. The other one was good aswell but I might as well stick to my and stay positive on this post. More + anyone?

[Umbrasquall]

Wow... astounded that second poem was amazing... I think you are right about a lack of a happy atmosphere in this forum. But what can you do. (I think it\'s all Paperdoll, she started the trend)

I was walking down the alley going home a lady backs out looking for her own I can tell by her car she's sold her soul to the man in Detroit but who cares, she has to go Oh, it's back to Michigan I'll leave in a ford fix it three times it's Michigan, my Lord Where it was killed before they had a chance oh listen to that organ Michgan, how 'bout a dance It's up in Michigan Where we stole the maple tree right from Canada it's where I want to be --- just thought it up, whatever . When I read poetry with a bad vibe to it, I just kinda think, "Yeah, that's nice."
