Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

Regular poetry thread

Regular poetry thread (because I'm tired of not editing my poems)

This is exactly what it sounds like! A thread to post poetry. I'm excited to read all of your work!

back to the Pudding's Place

weightless in the air

sky above, clear and azure

how long 'til I fall?

Ooh, this is interesting!

It's so peaceful, but then that resigned inevitability of falling... Who's talking?

It seems like it might be a star, or maybe even the sun, but it's still quite mysterious.

I rule the heavens

And all those beneath

And as for my throne

I'll need never bequeath

 

Or so

I once

thought 

 

But soon I'll fall

To the sea,

The star-kissed sky

The only memorial of me

 

And the long serpent

Below'll

Swallow me whole

And that'll be the end--

Until tomorrow...

Ooooooh! If someone had asked me to write a poem fromt the perspective of the sun, it wouldn't have been good. But you did great!

Wow, the detail is so prestine. It didn't fully register with me that it was about the sun until the last line, and then it kind of clicked. The imagery is amazing, as usual. Good job!

@Snazzycakes; Yah, it was specifically the journey of Ra. I don't think I'd ever really covered that before, so it's good thing it turned out well!

@Silver Crystal; Haha, I love when last lines click everything into place, thank you!

Lol more pining poetry, send help

This time it's an almost-tanka:

~~~~~~~~~~ 

There was once a time 

When you were just another

Girl, but now you're more

Now I'm head over heels for

you, but will the world accept it?

Whoa. I wouldn't know for sure, but I think that perfectly captures the feeling of loving someone, but your genders making it so that the world doesn't accept it. But in only six lines! Again: Whoa.

In the verdant shade

A clear crystal pool

Lined with water-worn stones

 

Beneath grey-scaled sky

A girl stands alone

Adorned by glimmered reflections

and shadows of trees

 

In the glassy burbling 

She is not

instead alone with the wind.

Through the dim

Lights blare thick and thin

And it always makes me

wonder 

 

Whether it be in stage wing 

Or in the chaos of waiting to sing

The people-filled noise makes me

Fade out

 

And suddenly it feels like

I'm gone, just a ghost among the living

Everything no longer riveting 

Mind off to another place.

Wow, this is exactly how I feel when I'm in a crowd of people. You just kinda feel yourself disconnenting with everything and theres a lot a noise but it sounds like white noise in the back of your mind. It's always amazing how you manage to write stuff that connects to personally with people.

Thanks! I think I just spend too much time thinking and listening, but not enough talking so poetry sort of serves as a stand-in?

Sometimes night isn't for sleeping

But dancing up to the sky,

Star-secrets a-keeping;

 

At those times I just get spirited away 

Where night-mares are leaping

And prancing, and never start to bray.

 

Those times where the moon sings

Her woeful, silvery songs

And we all get lost

In a maze of stars,

Where trees are golden and silver

And laden with gemstones and amber

And everyone

always

has a glorious time. 

 

But then the dawn breaks, her rosy colours blossoming

Like cherry petals, their beauty prone to dissipate 

And when I look around everyone's already gone,

Scurried off to hide, faded off with the night,

Or plain too tired to stay out any longer 

And as the last of the stars

Break to retreat.

 

I promise I shall never

Forget about Night.

"Where trees are gold and silver/and laden with gemstones and amber" was such a pretty line. I got sorta a feel like above the sky that we see, the stars are the ground and that forest grows above it. Very asthetic :)

Covid is like a child 

Sitting in the center 

of 

your bowling alley in the 

middle of a

game,

preventing you to go forward

 

But like everything in life,

there is a way around 

this obstacle.

You will manage to get your bowling ball past the child

and knock down 

all nine pins
