How would you rate this poem? What are your comments?
"On the last ray of dope" is what I am unable to understand. But I hope that the poet will be kind enough to let the reader know what he really meant. (Note- Some readers really appreciate the additional comments and explanations that come by along with the work in question! And one such reader is writing this answer now.) :P Also, from the very little that I was able to understand from this poem, I have a few things to say-1) Emotions (in poetry or otherwise) are best portrayed 'simply'; that's when they come out raw and powerful, and is sure to leave a mark on the reader. 2) And to be honest, I feel that attaining 'simplicity' in any form of expression is often a tougher ordeal than 'mastering' the same. You can choose what you want to attain. However, should you pick the former, then you might as well want to read a lot more and write as frequently as you can. Happy to see a fellow aspirant exploring the nuances of the poetic world! Best wishes! :)
Will you comment on my poem "Void"?
Wow!!! Great. I've done the unpardonable, I've changed your poem a little. A good title is needed to set up the poem. Godspeed. The void cancelled, simply annulled, endless aching comes unconsoled. Life without cause without its rightful reason, touch without sense, time without season. My life now consummed by a cancerous sore, a sordid parasite that eats at my core. What made me whole, lies not within, leaving me lifeless wondering my sin. A shallow face, anguished and marred, an empty space, scaled and scarred. Sweetly abiding, this comical charade, secretly hiding within a lifeless parade. Still lost within this heart of glass, this fragile and feeling, troubled mass. Lies what remains of life that once glowed, my gifts to you, I once humbly bestowed. But honor and pride now bereaved, was my love for you so misconceived. Ripped from my depths my heart impeding, left my mind and soul endlessly bleeding. Now crushed to sand by your ruthless hand, a cold stare, only the Gods can understand. I feel that somehow, somehow I'm dying, at least my soul is still underlying. A simple void is what I've become, the hollow sphere of a true pendulum, swinging back and forth, emotion to emotion, never once stopping nor slowing its comotion. No reason, no answer, no justification, only the wonderings of my imagination. Just passing through time as time passes by, only nothing, nothing consoles my cry. Sightless and soundless, unseen and unheard. Mindless and boundless, obscure and absurd. All empathy lying ungraced, unemployed. I live my heartless life unembracing your void.
What are some of the most heart touching poems of all time?
Some of the most heart touching poems of all times have been written by Shakespeare, Christopher Poindexter, Charles Bukowski, Lang Laev, John Keats, T. S Elliot, Robert Frost and William Wordsworth to name a very few favorites.Here I'll contribute one beautiful piece written by each.William ShakespeareShall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate:Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines,By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd;But thy eternal summer shall not fadeNor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st; So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.Christopher PoindexterCharles BukowskiLang LaevJohn Keats“Joy whose hands are ever at his lips; bidding adieuWhere beauty cannot keep its lustrous eyesOr new love pine at them beyond tomorrow”~(My favorite)T.S ElliotRobert Frost“…Two roads diverged in a woodAnd I took the one less travelled byAnd that has made all the difference.”William WordsworthSylvia PlathLeo ChristopherThese were the poets whom you must have heard of or read. Some others who are just as beautiful but a little less famous...Sarah DoughtyRoopkatha Banerjee (My classmate)Anukampa Sharma, my favoriteKushaAnne IrwinAnd lastly, there's an amateur poet who would love if you read some of her poetry at Whispers To The Oblivion ... and leave your valueable feedback.Don't forget to tap the follow button if you like the content.Regards,Shreyashree Sarkar
What do these poems mean...?
The first one is about growing older. When we are children, we can see the fairies dance. Once we are adults, we become jaded and no longer believe in things we cannot see. When we are children, our hearts and our eyes are open to unlimited possibilites. The second one is trying to describe the extremes of being in love. It is fire and ice--yet both can burn. Her lover is both ice and fire, and when she is with him, she is a frozen pond, yet she gleams with fire. This poem is something you just have to feel and take in the imagery. The title is appropriate. If you've ever seen an opal, they look like ice, yet they gleam with color. Some are called fire opals. For the Dickinson poem, first she says that this (the poem) is all she has to give. But then she adds that she also gives her heart, and then she goes on to add all the fields, the meadow, and all the bees in the clover. This is quite a sum. Plus, note the imagery of bees in the clover--they are pollinating. This is a fertile image.

Humble:"I'm glad you feel that way.""Thanks! Very nice to hear it.""That's nice of you to say.""I'm not worthy of such praise, but thanks anyway.""Thanks a lot, I appreciate that."Witty/humorous (not recommended if you're normally not a witty person):"That's true, but did you also know I can hold my breath for ten minutes?""Yeah, I know, I'm too great for my own good.""Thanks, I love you too.""Oh yes, but enough about me... let's talk about me instead!"Rude (never recommended):"Just stop sucking up, will ya?""Are you asking me out on a date, or something?""Uhmm, nope, I still don't care about you.""I'm just doing my job, I'm not performing miracles here!"
Which has the higher density of touch receptor: the soles of your feet or the skin on your knees?
The soles of you feet. The somatotpic arrangement in the cortex also dedicates more brain area to your feet than your knee. An easy way to think of it is that you walk on your feet, and that your feet are much more sensitive than your knee.
My husband is turning 31 Sunday & wanted to write my own poem in his bday card. How does this sound?

How can we praise someone's poetry?
If you write poetry for live TV like I do for Revelation TV then the TV presenters may respond immediately with compliments. They may just say wonderful, beautiful, fantastic or actually refer to the content and talk about that instead. They may recognise certain words or phrases since I’m writing these deliberately, so they are immediately called to mind, if relating to a favourite Gospel song or a recent sermon and so on. The thing is, that some phrases must be separated to create visible gaps in such a way that the reading can be improved. So instead of using a tiny dot or comma, I’m using … and ! and ? and whatever may work better.If I’m writing about a superhero or a TV show then I try to get the story across so that other fans can respond. So maybe a Doctor Who story explains the more famous stories and villains as well as the Doctor’s companions. So if a reader appreciates the extra care then they may mention these points and become enthusiastic by sharing their awareness of what poets can do, then the poet knows the extra work was worth it just as must as the phrasing and care to help readers with their very first reading. Sometimes TV presenters can do that by saying the poem was easy to read and to express the sentiments that way.Serious poems can do that more than the funny poems I sometimes write, yet the funny ones can really be liked every now and then. On poemhunter-dot-com I find many poems being highly praised yet I can’t agree with the readers and fellow poets on everything. There are some poems that irritate me yet I don’t feel it’s right to rip poems to pieces. At other times, I recognise some edit suggestions will really fix errors and enhance the poetry. So if I make those known, I’ve no idea how my views will be received, despite having over 2,400 poems on that poetry website. So it’s difficult to assess where to draw the line. Is the poet sensitive or overly protective about every single word or comma? It’s not an exact science. So it’s no wonder poets hear their poems are nice or good rather than they need work here and there or the poems really are excellent BECAUSE…Denis Martindale PoemsPoems - Quotes - Poetryhttp://revelationtv.com
Can I impress girl by writing poems?
I’d say absolute big NO.If I hear a guy saying poem to propose I would definitely walk off. 21 century girls were more real than dreamy. They do like fairy tales, but the realize the fact prince charming is surreal. Swipe off the pinky clouds about girls. I’ll give few examples when you would be successful.Only if she is a poetry fan(careful Bro Lot of girls read Fiction but very few loves the poetic lines.)she will like your lines.If you have real content in your poetry not like Preschool Rhymes.Poetry should be original. Copied lines would give a impact that You are a Looser.First impression most girls get on you if u say poetry is “ Oh GOD !! cheesy.. such a… u know can be anything. ”Don’t go with the smile on her face that she is positive, Most cases its fake and don’t want to hurt you straight on face.Be yourself to impress a girl No need to be a poet but be real. First be clear from your side why you wanna impress a girl? why her? make sure You make her feel your are genuine. Make her feel she is safe with a genuine guy in a way you win her heart for a life time. Even that is a short time relation let it be the Girl will remember you as a genuine guy for ever, memories will be preserved in the heart. This always works well I feel .
What lines identify the five senses in the poem A Dream Deferred by Langston Hughes?
What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? - Sight Or fester like a sore-- And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? - Smell Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet? - Taste Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. - Touch or Feel Or does it explode? - Sound I hope this helps!!
