Just post your poems. If they're good, or just that bad, they'll likely get a response. Critique at will, or not--it can't hurt your chances for one in return.

when fade is strong
and angst is born
a suffocating place of suffer
remember from
the oath you sworn
to go beyond malicious laughter

perditious cynicism that stains
nobility of soul's endeavours
it put belief and sight in chains
then binds ― to common cursed level

so here I stand to strained silence
I know my filth my weak my sins
to make of these a diamond trident
still paradoxically I plead

Mit Centrum er en kemisk Reaktion,

En Cirkel omringet af evig Nat,
men herinde lyser en Glød besat.

Nøgterne Neuroner nærlæser Spejlbilledet i Vinduet.

Selvkonstrueret Skizofreni, fast Fantasme.

My Centre is a chemical Reaction,

A Circle surrounded by Eternal Night,

Open your heart


Open your heart,
the sun shines through the door,
third eye, light of darkness,
reflects light's fly

And Judas seeks,
and mesiah's weak, the dear is meek,
the drugs are meek, yourself isn't complete,
Mefisto's decision are senseless,
your lies lie defenseless.

Open your heart,
the sun shines through the door,
third eye, light of darkness,
reflects light's fly,
a far away mass, foreign to all
thought, Jupiter thought,
murder since childhood he wrote,
soul sold, contract bought.

A thought timid,
weak, who brought her, pathetic,
a silent bitch,
nail to a cross like Christ
to let her suffer,
pay her dues to earth and people
paying injustice through tears is cheaper,
maybe god'll arrive, pity over whore's goodbye
or at least make the pain meager

Open your heart,
the sun shines through the door,
third eye, light of darkness,
reflects light's fly,
a far away mass, foreign to all
thought, Jupiter thought,
murder since childhood he wrote,
soul sold, contract bought.

Evils I do only to get Christ back,
dedicate him to a holy fire, a dedicated attack,
on the cursed peoples, wet, sweaty, with diseases,
wasting time, the work is not done,
ropes are missing, to hangings we gave
half of the people wishing they were already in a grave,
such is the commodity, such oddity,
birthed from sins and clouds,
sun's horizon, aesthetic of hanging,
demon hearts grow warmer.

Love's airbound but not just feelings
all 'round the world, electric dealings.
A message sent to modern locket
is rather like synapse's socket.
Parse through my beloved's profile
ten thousand likes is her new style.
Goose bumps straight hair, formulaic
one could assume part voltaic.
Power lines connect my heart
and at 60 hertz I'm no Descartes.
Mind and matter might make one
but I'm a Mexican no-Juan.
Yes my e-girl dumped me
No I don't need therapy.

[Anonymous No.18615195]

>>18614965
Don't give advice. Adjectives are absolutely okay to use in poetry, especially if tactically chosen to enforce the theme or idea being presented. For example, if you're just highlighting the sun then no adjective is needed, but if you're highlighting the warmth given specifically by the sun then one is needed. Leaving details for the reader to interpret is great; using specific details to present a theme to the reader is also great--just know what you're trying to achieve. Emulsifying the two is what is bad.

[Anonymous No.18615310]

>>18613794
I like what you did here and how you achieved it. But there's a slight integrity issue, a nitpick from the detail oriented (I mean it as a compliment since the piece is tight enough to merit a nitpick). In image, you first build the blades up as 'constantly' spinning yet then describe them as 'questioningly' poking. One evokes an image of resoluteness, as it should (uniform blades moving at uniform speed), while the other implies an impishness, something much harder to attribute to the mill's blades specifically. Could very well be you just describing it once from man's perspective to then from god's (nature's) perspective, but doing it so quickly and in the same line jars the imagery and creates an inconsistency.
This could also be a translation issue, but I don't quite think so since I can extrapolate most words from the original based on the interpretation and it seems quite accurate as far as language goes. Again though, I like this piece and even with that very slight hiccup the imagery is great.

[Anonymous No.18615990]

>>18615195
my man, i didnt mean all. they were common and unnecessary adjectives, hurting simplicity, ambiguity and evocative power, while cheapening (in the case of >>18614208) a poem id otherwise like (if it werent for glisten, tender, soft: which arent all adjectives, so my bad) down to mediocrity. youre free to disagree ofc

[Anonymous No.18616162]

>>18615990
You literally said adjectives are bad, my man. I don't mind the adjectives in the poem you quoted there either. Glisten and tender seem to reinforce the theme of intimacy and sensuality that's being worked at, then soft works with the stanza there to keep it intimate yet cut the reader from in the moment and return it to the subject as solely her own for a different form of intimacy. If not for soft, the point of that stanza could be missed. It's a very average poem, but I don't think it's weighed down by it's adjectives at all. There clearly no intention of ambiguity, and it's still plenty evocative because of it's details.

Therapy of destruction
The slow breathless strike of a match
Remarkably black ceramic fumes wrinkle the stationary stars
My lobotomized smile is choked by the honeysuckled sweet marmalade haze
I tint my hate on the moth’s stupid dance with the drifting cinders

My glowing eyes weaken
My bolt drawn soul loosens and weeping breaks
From the shaky fence post tears flow up to the vast vapor broken roof
I beg the pale dimpled angel closer, in my sky bound ashes there is no sister
I walk forward to smother my cries of impotence

Sounds of a morning mourning knights of nights

By what tale or fable do you think yourself Able,
to furnish lasting meaning from a mind so marked and pocked?
Here you find yourself demeaning,
doubting self and all its seeming,

to find Cain as well.

Holding your hands it's a miracle it happened this way. Guiding my approach to you is if navigating was a subject for the liberal fool. An immaculate over-sensitization of an enigmatic hormone that comes to my lips as, "I love you." Paired with an injustice of two separate outcomes. One walks left while the former takes the road. Now in 2020AD there is nothing left to guide me. I'm a yearning soul dreaming of hypocritical conclusions to my bitter decisions. Trapped in the body of a soldier that just lost his war. For neither side could declare a victory, but a loser remained. Stuck in the past, blinded by the future, no fate has come to grip. For fate is a wish, a wish a shan't take.

A poem about my friend and his landlord:

Ne'er a word had passed betwixt my lips to Clint's
And yet a bond beyond the subtle hints
Of tension blossom'd, sighs of deep content
When I found how to skip the rent.

An oath we swore one ruddy april night,
Both filled with sanguine glee and hot delight.
Before we delved too deep in love's embrace
His wife across the Styx would be most right:
Her rites, my right to take her place.

The shower's water bloom'd with blood, my sin
All washed away by lust, and guilt within.
Without the wife, but Clint can't bear the cross
He can't but think this albatross
A noose too nice, he wants me to repent
The verdict says I'll pay no rent.

I rot alone in this black cell
But Death himself can't stop the swell
Of blood and love for Clint from me,
Who got a place to stay for free.
