waa this not the way, by mail,
that so many heights were scaled?
martin luther, coleridge, kant,
& many more than these, i grant,
strode in just this way; why can't
we, who call ourselves the free,
have again what used to be?

that you cannot write as well,
you in pissful wise, do tell,
but you cannot blame yourself:
shame on schools that fail to teach
sweetness, like the august peach.
dry old bones, a waveless beach:
beauty ever out of reach.

would you say, in shakespeare's time,
that ophelia should die?
guilty of the same are we:
properly, in costume, "she,"
yet when we are off the stage,
who can know our name, or age?
put in verse, retard, your rage.

>>24492267

what is verse, i will obey:
desperation urged this way.
i will show you all my parts,

Painted nails, you tip the scales,

Makeup, shame, you've changed your name
Prescription pills can give man-tits

Your DNA you cannot flee
You are a dude, and not a she.

In school I learned the complex rules
on life’s small parts, and simple men
who use 'gene' to say 'the soul within'.
the script of life - or 'DNA'
is real, yes, and so is sex
but as a learned master said
"the real can be edited"

"Soul within," an interesting claim
Implying that to slyly hide
Your dong 'tween legs makes you a dame
You're batting for the other side

Yet on team's roster you're not listed
Sneaking into gated dugouts, your
baseball bat you bear, though tilted,
No catcher's mitt, just bottom sore.

>>24492760
No claim I make of my own self
Neither doll nor bard am I
But no one, bar trannies, try
to break the bonds of physicality.

Some fleeting respect I have
for those who efface the work of God
For my own work (for which I'm paid)
is to make of his servants monsters all.

>>24492008 (OP)
How do you learn to write with metre? It doesn't come intuitively to me.

>>24493034
count out the syllables
hit "enter" after you reach a set amount of syllables, and start a new line of text
repeat

Rappers can do it, if you can't you might want to see if your local community has remedial adult education classes for people who should have had a helper in their school years.

>>24493082
I thought english poetry was supposed to be about stresses, not syllables?

>>24493104
Ok well I understand the question better, then. Forgive me for asking, but are you ESL? I know that when I try to read or write in Russian or Finnish I need a native speaker to tell me what's stressed and what isn't.

Assuming you're English, personally my general technique is to write more or less what I want to say, then sit there playing with words and sentence structure until the rhythm of the sentence is what I want it to be, without sacrificing more than a small bit of the meaning. Some meaning can be sacrificed in poetry if the reader can be assumed to know what you really mean, it's a balance between flow and literal meaning.

>>24493190
>assuming you're English
native level English fluent, I meant lol

I also should have mentioned, I used to be in a relationship with a girl who was Russian, and although she was fluent in English she didn't have a native level grasp of the language. Lots of things that a native would never think about, like sentence structure, implications, word order, puns, and - relevant to what you're saying - stresses on words in poetry and music sometimes had to be explained.

I fervently hate poetry that's left decapitated
It is a capital offense and leaves your prose quite grated.
But in a sense I can't deny that the poetry flows;
As unless you repent you live life also on death row.

gottem, gottem, boy i did.
i am such a posting whiz.

Clarity through ever darkening clouds
granted to me, humble seeker in shroud
of pilgrimage, yet greedy and proud,
these ink-stained hands seek to attack

Blue eyes upon trembling skull

gaped Anus, serve as parable
that others may see and turn back

>>24495786
If you dressed as per your station -
Man! - such would not give occasion
for onlookers' speculation
on the dong under your skirt.

Such is often! Life supplies
us with wounds to cauterize
and more, but identifies
malady, 'fore treating hurt.

Were one to falsely raise the flag
of womanhood, while going stag
in rooms unknowing, well the fag
surely might receive thrown dirt.

thank you for your consistent posting funny verse nona

>>24495854
troonerie, as i had feared,
has made what was normal, weird.
many men were tunicate;
kilts are of an ancient date;
kohl is coming back, of late.
funnily, you are no man
if you're only one in pants.

>>24495897
i don't need this gratitude.
what i need is verse from you.
pop off babey in this trap.
one alone can't really slap.
i must be both face and heel
til some other makes it real.
iron pure cannot make steel.

>>24495963
apologies, I did not mean
to leave you dancing down one lead
I only meant I'm glad to see
such fluent one-man reverie.
I know I err, forgive or curse
one bark ahead I still do worse
(though like far more this eight-note verse).

>>24496013
elegant, and fair quatrains,
but i think there are more gains
in what taketh thee more pains.
you are neither elf nor dwarf,
but, so far, a standard sort.
i myself am northern troll,
blue, who live in frozen hole.

The work-day beneath the hot front,
Women go by, cascading sweat,
Hot wash down fragrant channels run
Hot on wet, moist on rosy heat.
If toil and speech and love were sweet,
They'd be water down a woman's flesh.
And if mine had to be in hers,
I'd have a different plan than yours;
To possess what I covet instead
Of becoming it. You in her
Becomes you in you. O you sad head:
For one sex sought are both lost there.
Now you're man nor woman neither,
With no good verse to show for either.

>>24496289
i am as are the parts of me.
it sounds like you want to see,
but you'll have to write much more,
and in this specific form.
start, then, prithee, with your lore:
are you fucking elf, or dwarf?
i seek crew for ventures north.

You simply read some poetry of meter,
Aloud of course, as though you're at a theater.
Soon then your brain inclines to lilt and rhyme,
Posthaste the pen do grasp, and write the line.

This book is a useful overview, although you might get too caught up specifically in the sonnet format. Anthologies are generally very good for finding poems you like and learning how they work.

what i grade here is pure form:
if it's awkward, you're just wrong.

you were rather "tonguetwisting."

If you had a better brain,
Untouched by HRT and sane,
Or had upon those leafs your eye
Fallen, you would see the lie
In so stupid a rebuke.
Not a line, not by a fluke,
Your painted hand has scratched
Can prove the stance you claim.
For all your 'practice', still your lame
And barren lines are overmatched.
Hirsch and Boland do not teach.
If you'd only take a look,
Your hysteria you'd see a reach.
Read a fucking book.
