Glad to hear it. I wonder how much of an impact it will have on the war.

Indeed it is. Though I'm not partaking in all that at the moment. I'm still recovering from an epic yet exhausting weekend. XD

That's exactly the matter P wants to address. And truth be told, I disagree with you.
While true poetry is by no means easy to define, I do tend to deploy the following criterium:

In other words, neither the content nor the form are of critical importance but the interplay of both is the key.
Not that the previous quote isn't the absolute truth, on the contrary, I made it up on the spot. Nevertheless, I think it works. Try it.

And if this criterium is applied in practice, it should prove that P's...paragraph isn't a poem.

Were you to attempt this with other poems here in the Creativity Corner, the result would feel strained, incoherent or awkward. Not sure how to explain it but it just wouldn't work.

Hope I helped you at least a little, P.

I just read "A Reprieve From The Darkness" and liked the story being told very much. It was very easy to picture the events in the tale. It's good that you left some room for the reader's imagination (if that was your intent), but it also would've worked if you had fleshed it out a bit. Can't say what would have been better. Either way a good poem.

Hmmm...Your poem ended in what seems to be an unintentionally dark note.
That aside, this is a really impressive piece for the age at which it was written.

Yeeeeaah, that's not how that works. There's a huge difference between occasionally giving in to a temptation and compulsively giving in to it. You might want to reconsider your definition of "addiction".

I'll leave it in the dark whether or not I like this idea.

Again speaking from experience: no it doesn't. At least not for everyone.

Let's not be random. We've been random since the beginning of time. I want to do something different.

Speaking from experience, I have nothing against them but found them less enjoyable than having sex with the person you love. The technicalities that are mostly irrelevant when making love do arise when trying to please a person you're not really close to and might draw your attention away from the essence: arousal.
A couple making out wants to express their love for each other. Unacquainted people want to "do a good job" or invertedly, are selfish hogs.
Long story short, one might be so pre-occupied with trying to be a good fuck that they forget to enjoy themselves, or they might be so pre-occupied with trying to have a good fuck that they forget to please their bed partner.

Not that one-night-stands are unenjoyable per se, and the chase if often enjoyable even if the catch is not. I just advise against jumping into the adventure at every chance one gets. Not just because of birth control, not just because of STDs (of course these are important as well but I'm trying to bring up a new angle to the matter), but because they might be disappointed with the result. One night stands can be very rewarding though, when approached with the right expectations.

Sorry, but the date doesn't suit me. Would have loved to participate though. Some other time then.

She didn't know who she was dealing with, obviously.

I told her that she ought to go and get herself run over next time, yes. Wanted to add the "smear of blood and cheap make-up" thing too, but the light turned green and she scurried off. XD

Nice boobs.

It has just been a long time since I made a thread here.

The envious undertones in your post are making me feel a lot better. Thanks, man.

It was a cool-looking car. Would hate it if that got dirty.

That's how I learnt to chew through the initial humiliation.
As in:
*feels sore cheek*
"Yeah well I touched your tits so there."

A villanelle that's both refreshing and by the book. I have always found it hard to forge a poem in one of these traditional structures, but you seem to pull it off with such ease. I quite like this piece and hope to read more from you.

So far I have read "White Turned Black" and "Issho Ni". You have a lot of talent for rhyme and imagery in your fingers. The former had an especially nice flow to it, and the latter conveyed an admirable message. I like these pieces, and I'll continue to read more.

There are thousands of poems about people who have "found God" through variable means, but few about actually "being freed" from him. In that, your poem is rather unique. I dig the metaphors as well. This piece stands strong, and I'm glad you decided to post it regardless of its nature.

Yeah, this is quite good. Even without the music, the lyrics are addictive and catchy. It makes me want to hear the song, and that's something not many lyrics can do on themselves. Nice work!
