Ok, so I would like to let you know that I know and somewhat regret that these poems are just like most teenage poetry of the times, depressing. I would like to give you my excuse for helping to let this trend continue. Poetry is obviously fueled by extreme emotions, of which there are thousands, you can even write a great poem about being extremely bored. Despite this I seem to find that 9 out of 10 poems I read are exclusive to two main feelings, sadness and happiness. Or in more specific cases depression and love. When I am sad or depressed I can nearly never figure out why, this is usually because its actually a mixture, just a result of everything piling up and becoming to much. So because there is no direct place to point my blame, I just write a poem to life saying "Piss off, you've let me down". On the other side of this, when I am happy I can always pin point it to it's cause. It can be anything from a new CD to a just damn good day, though most of the time its because of a damn good person. The reason I have said all this is to say that the purpose of a happy poem ( for this example it is more appropriate to call it a love poem ) is to spread the happiness. You don't just write it for your desk drawer, you write it for the person that made you happy, or for another friend who could use your extra happiness. Mainly I'm saying that I've given all my happy poems away, meaning I couldn’t put them up on my site, now could I. I am not depressed, and these don't represent me on the whole, they are only half of the story. Hopefully someone will give you one of the happy poems that they wrote so you can start to put together the other half. |
