Krista Posted January 3, 2004 Report Posted January 3, 2004 Ok, I`m not actually THAT egoistic.... An Ode to Me Once when everything`s been changed and the order of the world rearranged, when all the green on Earth has gone and nature`s finally been won. When there are no nations any more, just some people left from the Big War. Then in a dark and cold cliff cave, that once was shaped by ocean waves, a lonely sheet of paper lays waiting for its gloriful day. This piece of hope, hidden in that cave, to all humans will show the way. This old yellow paper that so worthless seems - actually the whole world it means, the rows on it, that everything say, from a long lost poetess called K.
Peredhil Posted January 4, 2004 Report Posted January 4, 2004 And THAT is why the Pen is mightier than the Sword. The words will rekindle a light in the minds of those numbed by disaster. Poets dream of possible futures, hopes, beyond the life-threatening hopeless situations of the present. It takes courage to post something positive about one's self - society is so quick to smack down anyone who looks as if they have self-esteem. I like this. -P'
Wyvern Posted January 4, 2004 Report Posted January 4, 2004 Wyvern grins and applauds Krista's poem. The title immediatly grabbed my attention, and the poem certainly didn't disappoint. It reminded me of hip hop boasting in a very good way, particularly the last line, though the theme of immortalization through poetry set a slightly more serious tone. I particularly liked the provocative imagery you used throughout, as it made for a very entertaining read the whole way through. The only line that I felt might be improved a bit is the "and nature`s finally been won." line, as I felt that it didn't evoke the same image of the destruction of nature that the line before it implied. Clever and well done.

Zen Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 Immortality via ones words, the secret desire of most if not all writers, through out the ages. Great read. Thanks for sharing.
Merelas Posted January 7, 2004 Report Posted January 7, 2004 Kudos. I liked the rhyme scheme, structure, and overall flow of the poem. I echo everyone else, as usual On a side note, I hope to see more of your work soon!
