We Paints

I write Poetry, knowetry, flowetry.

I write devotion, of notion, intent not to be bent on the sufferings of notherings.

I make it up, as I go along and I often stop... to strike up a song

I put paper to pen to paper again and let the ink flow through me like the blood in my veins.

I grab the reins and take life by the horns and bare the scorns when what I write makes no sense

and since you ask, I take you to task and write.

Right or wrong I scribble away and let the words take me where they may. I

will find what is hidden inside and hide away what is not.

But let it be bought the price of poetry and knowetry is knowing what you have.

Like a salve to the soul, we learn to let go

and just pick up a pen and let the ink flow.

Draw with words?

Don't be absurds.

We Paints!

Hey, Realm, first, and this maybe me and my bad eyes, but I had trouble reading this, not to mention the bright blue off the white page is a bit blinding, again could just be me. From what I can read, it seems you're speaking of the use of words as the internal paint, the imagination the canvas, which is true, as the words have no meaning until your conscious mind gives them power and meaning. I enjoyed this, but it was hell on the eyes.

Glad you liked what you could read of it. I did change the color to a darker blue and went one size up with the font too. You pretty well got where I was going with it. An attempt somewhat, at creating a choppy river of flow with the words. The canvas is of course, as you pointed out, the imagination. Just let the ink flow from mind, to pen, to paper. Or in this case, keyboard and the ink is electronic 0s and 1s.

Did you mean it as absurds or did you mean absurd?

By the end of the piece I was hearing Gollum in my head, so yes I meant absurd. I thank you very much for the review and I am glad that you like it.

The font really matches your poetry!
I felt kind of connected with this one.
Splendid :)

I absolutely love this, I just find it really real and I especially love and relate to the line, 'I put paper to pen to paper again and let the ink flow through me like the blood in my veins', genius! Great writing:))

[realmwriter]

Fresh, alive and vivid - I imagine this would work well as spoken word .. I found it easy to read and kept up with a fast pace ... Funnily enough I can relate to your words ... often creating silly rap songs when driving ... I especially love the last two words .. they are lasting and leaving as with a strong impression of what all poets aspire to do .. Nice one xx

I like this in a lot of ways. It has an interesting style, and a nice form, and a great message of celebrating individuality.
Now, on a few technical things. The font looks a little squished. Maybe one size up?
If you read it, I think often would flow better than oft.
and if you changed around the ask line to "and since you ask, I write and take you to task," it would be less choppy.

[realmwriter]

I changed oft to often and I changed the color to a darker blue. Also went one size up with the font. Thank you very much for your constructive review and I am glad that you like it.

you know I love my color and different fonts, but this time, I will have to agree with Jack.. while I can read it, it was a little harder on the eyes to focus on the words.. I have to say parts of this were brilliant.. some parts I stumbled because never heard of the term or it used that way, but overall this was fun and held a deeper message, it stayed on track and for the most part made sense.. has that "rap" feel... not sure if a play on words, but shouldn't it be "we paint?"... I like seeing this playful, powerful side to your writing, had such a pleasant rhythm and tone.. well done.

[realmwriter]

I changed the color added an S where it had been removed. When I came to the last three lines of the piece I was hearing the voice of Gulum in my head so the last two lines are plurals that shouldn't be because they tie into the line about not making sense. So yes, in a way, it is a play on words. Took little license with notherings, knowetry, and flowetry mostly because not too many words actually rhyme with poetry, so I made them up, so to speak. I am very glad that you like it though and thank you very much April for this review.
