    So lately I've been experimenting with poetry in my free time...thinking of ideas...such as picking words 100% at random and encorporating each and every one of the chosen words into a poem (that was fun :D) Now today I had this idea...Writing a story...Completely out of poetry :3 I am about to write it here and now...Starting from 2:15 in the morning UK time..how this will go...We will see~


    The curious case of Hansel

    Life is sometimes
    dull
    Drifting along like dust in the wind
    Finding that those "responsible" speak nothing but
    bull
    But one man created a trail of blood, one man
    sinned
    It was a quiet afternoon
    This is the spine chilling case
    Of a man they now call "Hansel"

    A little
    sunny
    A little
    breezy
    But very
    simple
    Hansel's day went as
    normal
    Wake up.
    Eat.
    Work.
    Eat.
    Sleep.
    Repeat.

    Frustration was building
    No excitement, no friends, no fun, no help
    A man who was lost in the world

    One day in the office, innocently walking
    Hansel bumps into a young woman
    She fell
    The
    blood spilled
    Hansel felt shock
    Not knowing what to do he just watched
    Drip.
    Drop.
    Drip.
    Drop.
    The puddle spread beneath Hansel's boots

    Nobody blamed him, an innocent accident
    Hansel attended the
    funeral
    Many
    comforted him
    His lack of remorse was taken as shock
    But inside he was smiling, laughing
    He felt
    alive
    He looked around and took in the gorgeous
    nature of life
    His mind replaying the scene of an acquaintances death
    Sick thoughts spread through his mind

    In the few days following the funeral
    Hansel knew what to do
    He had plans
    And suddenly one by one random people were
    dying
    Some deaths obscure
    Some deaths with
    hidden messages
    Hansel was
    desperate
    Spilling blood made him feel
    alive yet sick
    But he knew it was
    wrong
    He was
    desperate to be caught
    His messages were always hidden too well

    Five months later Hansel was discovered
    He made a trail of
    blood leading straight to his doorstep
    Sweet irony, a lost man finding his way back home
    Following the trail of blood
    He demanded to be known only as "Hansel"
    In a note left on the door
    Hansel was discovered
    However it was his own
    blood on the walls
    Hansel, Hansel, Hansel
    Finding
    life in death, and death in life



    CnC is more than welcome for this ^_^ it's just an experimental idea...if you think it went well I ma write more...Perhaps of better quality...when it's not 2:40 in the morning -_- thanks for reading ^_^

    There are a few things I have to tell you. I'll start with the bad.

    Okay so 1, this is a site open to all age groups. This is a little bit more violent and you need to watch what you're posting. The younger users could easily read this. You should at least try to slightly censor your posts for the younger demographic.
    Now 2, I honestly couldn't see the poetry in this, it just looks like a bunch of lines that have been broken up here and there. Not saying that it has to rhyme but this literally had no sense of poetic backbone (to me at least)
    3, changing the colors of the words might seem like a good idea but it really just makes a mess of things, when you use it too much. An occasional word here and there is alright but there is a limit between cute and gaudy.

    Ok, sorry about all the bad stuff, now for the good.
    1, I like the idea, I think every poem should tell a story whether it be big or small.
    2, I like the story itself, has a few morals in there somewhere I think. (Again though, watch the descriptive stuff)
    3, it appears like you have a unique way of doing things, and in art, unique is key.

    All in all it was an alright read. Try to keep in mind what I mentioned and improve on the things I pointed out and you could be a well renowned poet (on KH-Vids at least)

    Hope to hear more soon ;)

    Thank you very much :) I'm really glad to hear some input and would like to expand on the idea ^_^ it wasn't really to make the poem tell a story...the idea was to try to write a poem in a sort of story book fashion :3 I have to agree with your bad points though...It does look messy and stuff...But hey I'll work on it ^_^ I'd try again...But I think things seem to look better at 3 in the morning...I'll try when I have a more critical frame of mind xDD thank you very much for your input though, it's VERY much appreciated
