I'm working at a poem that might fit. I'll post it if I finish it within the deadline.

Do you have to give your poem a title? :p

Halahan is the closest, but its' much more specific ^_^

People were thinking too broad with the apacolypse.

What's in the apacolypse? ^_^

What is a despair of mankind?

What can change a life so drastically that the person becomes empty?

Comment deleted due to some harshness.

A clash of styles is never the true way to go. There are many styles in the world. It is in no one's right to force their own style on to another.

okay here's mine..

Untitled

Inevitable thought
And unchanging ways.
Surviving the feelings,
Concurring the meanings.
She has no where to go,
No place to hide.
Endless nights
And repeated fights.
She tries to move on.
To live in a better life.

I tried fixing it. I do less of a song, more of a poem. And I know poems still need rhythm, and I think it has that.
btw, good poem trustfactor.

Comment deleted due to harshness again.

Once again, nobody has the right to try and force their own style on to another. Everyone should be allowed to blossom into their own unique flower =)

This post was not a flame in any way. Neither were the others. It was still quite rude.

Once again, everyone has their own set of symbols they enjoy to use, etc. It is up to them to decide.

one word can change the entire meaning and feeling to a poem....

to change that one word changes the essence..

the words should be up to the poet, not the critics.

I'm not giving up, but your still making me mad :mad:

the first four lines. there own seperate thing. it has its own rhythm, such as.
We face a Juggernaut,
They slowly advance,
Our People Distraught.
In a non-rhythmic dance.
Boom Boom BoomBoom,
Boom Boom BoomBoom
Boom Boom BoomBoom
Boom Boom Boomboom boomb

Read just these lines, I think it has rhythm. I'm going to revise it and look at what you wrote... still... I think your being a little mean.

They face an enemy...
they're advancing,
the people are distraught..
running around in terror...
that all relates perfectly.

then a like a two line plee.

then e metephorical one line.

"We face a Juggernaut,

They slowly advance, - Weak Line... They makes it weak, slowly breaks up the poem

Our People Distraught. - Continues a rhythm set by line 2 taht breaks from line 1. Line 1 should be the main factor of this stanza, not line 2. If throws off everything else =)

In a non-rhythmic dance. - Good imagery etc, but I suggest something that more resembles line 1. Line 1 is like a major statement. This is like a whimsical lyric."

See, the first line is the main thing. then what there doing, (I see how its weak now) then what the first line is causing for the next two. it all relates to the first.

That breedlings seedlings things... as in their children...

I'm not just describing one day, its the war in general.

Responding to that entire thing is just going to take to long and make to long a post, I'll read it though.

I think its a good poem, which is odd, usually the writer is modest with diehard fans. :D you guys really put a damper on things.

I'm just trying to explain to you where I'm coming from.

I don't write to much poetry, I'm more of a novel kind of guy, which by the by, check out my story Remembrance should be at the bottom of the page right now.

Gj by the way, I read you entire thing and you got me so depressed I feel like just deleting the entire poem and making another one

By the way how old are you?


That poem has not been submitted yet henceforth : D

this talked about forming a natural image and developing a story out of it. Once again, this is a style. I think it's a very beautiful style and a very difficult style, but then again, that is my own opinion.

Opinion is what can cause a war

It's been deleted due to this

Halahan, follow your dreams and write how you want to write

Was a cocky post and was somewhat harsh...

To be proud of your work is a good thing, but to be bragging about it etc is not so good.

Everyone deserves a chance in the light.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
