J/k - very good! ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Bard of Terra, Patron Saint of Aspiring Bards. Elder than dirt, more foolish than a jester, able to trip over the smallest logic in a single step. It's... Oh, you know.
HopperWolf Posted May 17, 2002 Report Posted May 17, 2002 (Conversion Confusion, this is the third post in the thread) course it always has to be about me, I'm the centre of the universe!! hehe, okay now I'm just kidding. They are generally from a first person, but that's because I feel more comfortable writing that way, conveying the eperience, emotion or whatever, through someone. Easier to relate to perhaps. Especially so on this one. They are not, however, all representations of me. just the important ones. J/K again. Just my lil ramble and reasoning. Glad you liked the poem
The Portrait of Zool Posted May 17, 2002 Author Report Posted May 17, 2002 (Conversion Confusion, this is the fourth post in the thread) Yes, I do like it. It truly is a deep reaching perspective, which can be hard to see sometimes. Of course my sarcasm was pointed at that. Rather refreshing poem, actually. ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Bard of Terra, Patron Saint of Aspiring Bards.

Nyyark Posted May 17, 2002 Report Posted May 17, 2002 (Conversion Confusion, this is the fifth post in the thread) I liked it, thats really good. Keep it up.
Rahsash Geldich Posted May 17, 2002 Report Posted May 17, 2002 (Conversion Confusion, this is the sixth post in the thread) I can understand writing from first person, I think it sort of sets up the situation with wording and lets every person get out what they would take it most meaningfully. Excellent theme however, feeling too tainted to become anyone's savior. I think we all feel that way sometimes.
HopperWolf Posted May 18, 2002 Report Posted May 18, 2002 (Conversion Confusion, this is the original post) I have died a million times, Through plague, starvation and war, And you dare to sit and whine to me, About the hardships you have seen, And the awful places you have been, When you’re but a child in this great world, And the things you did, The things you saw, Are nothing in my life’s shadow. I’ve watched life fail a billion times, As all around my friends did fall, Bowed my head when their bells chimed, I looked around me and they were gone, And you sit there and you sing your song, A dirge for lost grades and foolish pride, And you truly believe, That I should weep, For your insignificant loss. I have killed a trillion times, Put to death those weakened souls, Because though I never even tried, I claimed I could do nothing with them, And you sit there and cry to me, That you’ve done this terrible deed, But you did not, You did nothing, I mock your foolish decency. And you look me in the eye, And confess all your empty sins, And lift me on a pedestal so high, The only one to whom you can Entrust your soul and keep it safe. But you do not know, Who I am, And what I could do with your precious soul. Edited by: HopperWolf at: 5/17/02 2:14:54 pm
