[Lord Of The Forest]

How so?

I just stopped being able to write it. It used to come naturally--I was always scrawling down couplets for future use--and I even thought in verse once upon a time.

I have no idea what happened to it...

 

[golden nugget]

I can't write poetry anymore; I lost that ability a year ago.

I really miss it.

Did you write the poem you shared? It's really good.

Heheheh, Awesome movie!

Yeah, I watched it earlier today... I tried to use it to pump me up for training, I ended up going out for a walk instead lol

Ah well, tomorrow's Kung Fu anyway

 

[Somber]

What have I done?
I see the setting sun:
The things I've won,
I should really shun:
At times I do sigh,
Not knowing why,
But I do know You,
Who art ever true:
I stand forgiven
By the God of men.
You have a plan,
to make me a man:
Through fire?
You are no liar.
You'll complete the work,
And slay devils that lurk.
Aid, O God, wretched me
Help me, that I may see.


Lame.

I think this is really good! !

Maybe it's not that you have lost the ability, but rather have higher expectations than before...?

I did. Thank you... Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you.

Probably so. It's the insanely short lines that I'm not the happiest with. I also prefer to write quatrains since couplets are quite easy to form... I'm still very much a novice in the finer points of metre.

Bed time.

Grace and peace be upon you all

 

[Lord Of The Forest]

^ That's a great idea! ^

Goodnight to you all, and may God's peace rest upon you.

 

[Somber]

Sleep well everyone

 

[LittleDaughter]

Good night! Praying that you all have sweet dreams and hearts well rested in Jesus :3

P.S - @lordoftheforest ~ I see nothing at all wrong with that poem, you wrote it wonderfully. Remember, it's not "quantity" it's quality. Three words of honestly delivered truth are worth more to me than a gold mine of well turned sentences. Simply put can very easily = Beautifully said (and from what I understand seriously disliking and questioning your "art" is a natural course to becoming a truly talented artist

I can't sleeeeep

 

[golden nugget]

I can't sleeeeep

Go for a 45 minute run. Take a long hot shower. Then turn off all the lights put something really boring on. Or hang here and be silly

Well...I am always silly, so I guess I will do that

 

[golden nugget]

The sillier the better

 

[Touma]

The sillier the better

And why are YOU up this late?

 

[Toro]

I think I scared her to bad.

 

[.Mikha'el.]

I can't sleeeeep

Try melatonin. It's what Miss Spaulding and I both use.

 

[golden nugget]

And why are YOU up this late?

I don't have to work tomorrow. Besides Toro scared me.

Oh ?

 

[Touma]

I don't have to work tomorrow. Besides Toro scared me.

That is why I am up. No work tomorrow. YAY us!

 

[golden nugget]

All right! Party at Toumas!

I'll bring the food! I have fajitas and enchiladas. Buffalo wings and baked ziti. I will let you all provide the drinks and the music!
