"Emo" Poems

[Vishaan]

I don't know about you guys, but I'm about sick and freaking tired of hearing everyone say "Stp rightn thos emo poms plz", "God dude ur so emo!!". OF COURSE THEIR EMOTIONAL!!!!! Their poem probably wasn't even good enough to be read if they didn't put emotions into it! Who wants to read a poem thats bland, and has no perception on what they are actually writing about!? Literature also isn't all about poems, and not all poems have to rhyme. So seriously guys, just stop with all the Emo poem crap, and let the artists write the way they want to write, after all, it is their creation.

Sectional Moderators, we can only moderate our own section.

And the reason I say that is because I agree. I have quite a few friends whom are poets and whenever they would use the poetry in say, English Class, I would hear nothing but groaning from a good portion of the students around me.

Oh. True.

Yeah I know what you mean. A poem is supposed to have flow, and emotion . Mine come from my heart, sometimes they aren't good, but they have emotion, and that's what makes a poem unique, the individual emotion.

I think there's a difference between what people call 'emo' poems and some of the creepy poems I've seen posted here. 'Emo' poems, which are emotional and are generally about romance and all that jazz, I don't mind. It's not really my thing, but I've seen some really good ones. It's the blood and guts, suicide, blah blah I'm sad poems that really drive me nuts.

Well not to be rude, but thats your problem.

It's just, it could be something about real life, some experience someone has had. Then you go calling them stuff and kicking them while they are down. It's just disrespectful in my opinion.

Some experience they've had? With blood, guts, and suicide? Not to be rude, but I think a tall steaming cup of therapy would better suit them than pouring their heart out here in the Literary Arts forums.

And I never said I "kick them when they are down" either. I may be more biased while giving them constructive criticism, but generally I'm more likely to just avoid posting on it entirely as I don't want to support that kind of literature. It's that kind of poetry that gives literature a bad reputation for being solely for weirdos.

I've had experience with suicide? I go to therapy? Do you have a problem with what I write? If you do, then please keep it to yourself.

All I'm saying, is that if you don't like what someone is writing, don't post at all. Which, by what you say, is what you do. That is a good thing. I just hate reading all this literature, and seeing people completely flame someone just because they don't like what they are writing. We wonder why no one comes to this section anymore?

Constructive criticism is good. Its their poetry, let them write what they want. You may think it makes poetry in general look bad. Some may not. I love Death Metal, and hate rap. I think rap ruins music. But thats just me?

The whole kicking someone while they are down is a strictly over-exaggerated instance.

And thank you for actually backing up your ideas, Briese.

Amg waiz u rite so emo poems!!@!@!@ liek wtf ur emo!

But in all seriousness, it just gets annoying if you see it EVERYWHERE by EVERYONE.

Emotionals put towards somethings can have different outcomes, though.

Danh,

I love you,

But that made absolutely NO sense to me. >.<

I have no problem with you writing about that; no. I do have a problem with that being the only thing that some people right about. As I mentioned before, it's when work like that outnumbers all else that people start attributing poetry with "emo kids". I would have a similar problem if an overwhelming amount of people constantly submitted poems about the sun, or love, or flowers daisies and lollipops. A good variety expresses true creativity, which is the most entertaining to read and would give this section more potential to thrive.

Is it really that hard to write a narrative poem?

Agreed, People who make poems like "My life is a drag. No one are lover me. I are dead in my soul. I want to eat blood of emo girl butthole." Those types of poems are what I consider the stupid emo poems people make.

Ah. Well. I see your point. But I still stand at if you don't like what they are writing, leave.

Yes.

Witticism fails me.

You cant come back from that.

[Marisa]

I have to agree. I mean, ok I know some of my stuff gets a little dark and in some cases you could consider what I've written to be "emo" but it's just how I write. In some cases you put in the dark images and you over-exaggerate a little bit so people can understand what you're saying. So you can give them an image in their mind. I don't know. I try not to write like that, but sometimes that's how it comes out. That's my form of expression and I know other people write in the same way. We all have that freedom to express ourselves in the way that we choose. So don't rate the topic of the writing, rate the quality of the writing.
