OP this is really good seriously like voice of a generation (I'm not even kidding, I know it sounds like I'm making fun but I'm mostly serious I guess that's just the way we think today). You can be like Tao Lin, I'm not even kidding. Are you maybe autistic? Because some people are interested in autism (like literature PhDs are written on it and other irrelevant shit which however might enable you to get published if you actually are autistic).

Unfortunately (?), no, I'm not autistic. As for publishing, I don't think any publishing house will want to publish any of this, especially since I put it up on the internet for free and now it's out there.

Honestly, I'm just happy people seem to be getting enjoyment out of them. I wrote these during four of the shittiest months of my life and this is definitely not the reception I was expecting. I'm glad I could make people laugh, if only for a moment.

today i wanted to ride my bike
so fast and so far
that the g-force would rip me out of my skin
peel me, like a banana
and i would keep riding on as a grinning skeleton
and people would stare and mutter incredulously
under their breath and go to work confused or
maybe call in sick and go home and lie down on their
couches and wonder if they were become senile or
contracting some early form of dementia
and eventually i would ride under a clothesline and
acquire a new skin; a better one
i'd also bump my head on a low-hanging street lamp
and my brain would fall out with a resigned squelch
and along the way i would pick up a new brain from a
black market organ dealer in chicago
a smarter brain; one that is not broken like the old one
and i would keep riding my bike
tilting my head up at the sky every so often to scream
joyously
because things were okay
and things were going to be okay
and i was going to be okay

Got to be honest, I loved this one.

You should post in lit threads constantly with new stuff.
fuck trying to get it published, who cares.
I say this because if we could get this style of confessional poetry with minimalist aesthetic enforced as the lit official style of poetry we could actually have something like a thriving poetry community, because this kind of poetry doesn't take much skill or knowledge, just a desire to write frankly and a complete absence of thought and pretension.
You can actually get really pretty results with this style too, it doesn't have to all be about personal melancholy and social decadence.

Love is companionship.
I don’t know how to walk alone on the roads anymore
Because I can’t walk alone anymore.
A visible thought makes me walk faster
And see less and at the same time really enjoy seeing everything.
Even her absence is a thing that’s with me.
And I love her so much I don’t know how to want her.
If I don’t see her, I pretend I do and I’m as strong as trees are tall.
But if I see her I tremble, I don’t know what happens to what I feel when she’s not there.
All I am is some strength abandoning me.
All reality looks at me like a sunflower with her face in the middle of it.

I never mean to step on snails,
I never deliberately fall in love.

Accidents keep happening to me,
good ones and bad ones.
Or maybe everything happens for a reason,
but if that's so, I cannot know the reason.
So it's the same either way.
I think of the man who wants to control all of his accidents,
Like a fire in a forest.
One day he will stop burning, and then the birds will keep on chirping;
And he'll realize that the world he wanted to control,
Barely even felt his existence.

I think of how happy the birds are in the morning,
to have the first bit of light and branches to sit on.
So happy that they sing and wake me up.

That's when I receive the best gift,
Which is being grateful for every little gift.
And a small nostalgic awareness, that when I die,
and my life flashes before my eyes,
It's these little moments themselves that I'll be most grateful for.
I believe in guardian angels.

When you fall in love you have a problem.
You know she's the most beautiful thing in the universe,
but you don't know how to deal with this fact . . .

Loving with desire is demonic.
Loving without desire is angelic.
Love without desire, or find yourself in hell.

But you will say to me: if I don't desire her,
How will I ever get her?

And I say: and if you get her,
How will you ever keep her?

Even if you possess her soul for a lifetime,
It will eventually pass.

Here's the great secret to life:
we don't own anything, not even our own souls.
We borrow everything we have, and only borrow it for a little while.

If you love her with desire, you won't be happy until you control everything in the Universe,
to make a castle where you can keep her yours forever.
If you love her without desire, you'll just be happy she exists.
And that'll be enough for you for the time being.

your best bet is to submit them to be included in an anthology. Actually, a /lit/ anthology might not be a bad idea, but it would take some promoting. But normally you'd look online for calls for submissions and contests, especially with prizes, since even if you don't get money you might get in the anthology.

well, if we don't use stuff from the archive, we'll be waiting awhile to accumulate enough material. and it's not technically a /lit/ anthology it it didn't appear on /lit/ . How about as part of the commentary, we have an appendix where the poets are invited to give a short (anaonymous) biography or comment, and if they don't, we have some /lit/izen discuss why they like it or think it's good?

because honestly if we call for submissions, instead of using the archive, we'll be buried in crap.

I think we should restrict it to ONLY stuff that has appeared on /lit/ or from people who regularly post (though honestly I can't think how you would verify that). If we open it for submissions, we have to compare them to the best that's been here anyway. and we're likely to get gamed.

I agree that money is a problem, though there has to be a way to get the money if any to go to moot, surely.

false. if you're going to publish, you're stealing the ability for people's first publication to be their own. for instance: irish guy decides to publish one of his poems, the magazine he sends it to google's around and finds that he has already been published, and denies the publication. Furthermore, you're stealing the name from the work.

I'm keeping submissions open for 1 month, and plan on having a link every day. I plan on sorting submissions into "verified original" and "needs further exploration."

Take a look at the bottom of this page, it pretty clearly states whether or not that's a good idea. "Comments are owned by the Poster." We may never know that the people who submit shit are the actual authors, but that doesn't mean it's okay to steal people's poetry. Like, when you buy something from someone you're never a hundred percent sure that it's not stolen goods, but that doesn't mean it's okay to buy stolen goods.

Well, despite your dislike of my opinions, I'm glad you're doing this, since everybody else is all talk so far. The only quibble I have left is the idea of giving first submission stuff precedence: The main reason this could work is because we have some decent poets on here. The work they've already submitted, and has shown up in critique threads and got good reviews might be some of their best material, and it's what inspired the idea of a collection in the first place.

That said, the open editorial format and the consensus selection idea is a great one. it keeps any one guy from favoring his own tastes and dumping on other peoples.

I myself would probably avoid conventional rhymed poems, which would eliminate the Gomorrah Guy, and the cat guy. and I'd never, never, include a haiku.

This way all sides can be represented, and quality is the only standard.

I understand your position, but take the poem about the cat and the nine lives, or the Jesus in Belfast poem. I wouldn't want to not include those simply because they were posted on here before. Come to think of it, poems that have been posted on here before and everybody likes is sort of the point of the thing, isn't it?

I mean, i like OP's stuff here, but I can't be sure I'll like his next three as well as these, and if you open for submissions for a month, you may end up with people that have nothing to do with /lit/ flooding you. Granted, the /lit/izens will be editing and commenting and participating in the selection process, but i see it still as problematic. Howabout some criteria for selection?

>general quality: if it's really good, we try to get it in, no matter what.
>/lit/ provenance: if it comes from a regular poster and meets the first criterion, it gets bumped up in line
>relevance: if it has something to do with humor, current attitudes, social commentary or personal stories it gets a point ten points if it's funny
>appeal: if it has a chance of appealing to a general audience, this is good.
>brevity: if it doesn't fit on three pages, it's too long, even if it's the odyssey.

criteria for judges:

No personal vendettas: if you hate sonnets, blank verse, free verse, humor, scatalogical refereces, archaisms, don't let it interfere with your judgement. Quality alone must count as half your decision making, even if it's a superb example of a form you loath (haiku)...

No idea. I haven't ever actually "seen him" here, I've just seen his stuff reposted. For all I know he doesn't exist at all except as an elaborate ruse.

Hey guys, Anonymous the Poet here. I just wrote a poem and it will stand as my submission for the upcoming collection.

Sitting in solitude with slit-lids, sleepily
I reminisce on those days when I was great
How she so severely unclosed my eyes
To my wretched dissolution.
Still indignity fades for I recall
How much sweeter it was to be a shade.

In the Publix that I infrequently frequent
there's a man that I went to highschool with
who now bags the groceries
and I have to avoid him or else he might recognize me
and threaten to reveal to everyone
the passionate, one-sided conversation I had with him
about a certain German water sports video
and I think to myself
as I hide behind the sriracha and soy milk
"normal people have such enviable fetishes."

just wrote this, ongoing process gnna share fuck it

Chains on your door
Rabbid rabbits that are biting at your core
A second sentence notice waiting on the floor
In the eyes of the gods you feel like a cheeky whore

Sometimes you want to see
Without sailing
To breathe
In the presence of crashing boars

Fire fire raging on the shore
The tips of your finger calloused and sore
Take a flight to the next big war
So you can find something or someone to answer for

The words look at you
They're not smooth jokers anymore

The notes they sneer and rage at you
While you're still next to the second notice on the wooden tiled floor

On the lit streets you find the gravel and all the other things
And the city like a midnight jungle in full swing
Like a speechless parrot you try and sing
While not minding the other things
Fuck the other things

When you know that life burns like the shore you once slept on
It cradles you and your books like kings
Then sneers like the music that you once thought grafted butterfly wings
Don't look too far, the gravel is the king of things

I've said this twice already. When I made this thread, I expected no more than ten posts, an overwhelming majority of which would consist of people calling me a faggot. That, surprisingly, didn't happen, and lots of people seem to be enjoying my poetry.

If you don't like it, that's absolutely okay.

If you want to call me a faggot, that's absolutely okay.

But if you're going to insist that I've spent the past twenty four hours heaping false praise upon myself when you can clearly see that there's one original IP for every two posts and you can clearly see that a lot of people post multiple times engaging in discussion and you can see that I've already shown you which posts were mine, then you can get out of my thread. Thanks.

There is no samefagging conspiracy. I posted once early while this thread had a lot of people, and posted a couple times making fun of you recently. That's it.

What is tripping you up that you can't understand that people like fast, funny poems that aren't full of ugly bullshit? That's all anyone has wanted since the dawn of time. Our boy Mark wrote some funny poems, just fucking acknowledge you have no idea what you're talking about.

>seriously whatever man there's no way /lit/s taste can actually be this bad
Well, anon, I don't give a fuck. Let it be known that I have absolutely 0 taste and I will continue to read whatever I want while you try to shove as many copies of finnegan's wake up your sandy vagina as possible, you obnoxious little shit.

I've given up on that dream already. I did send it to Muumuu house, though, just for a laugh.

Anyway, thank you all for reading my poems.

Jesus Christ you guys.
If you think this is viral marketing you haven't seen shit.
You should've taken a look at /a/ when the ME!ME!ME! video went up. The samefagging was so fucking obvious it hurt, but you can't do anything about it because there were literally up to 3 or 4 threads at a time with mods ignoring it.
