What do girls feel when they read an elaborate good poem? I've written many about experiences I've had and alot of my friends that are girls tell me some are really good. They've said "Dude, this is one of the best poems i read, seriously!" "awww i love this one. cuz its about friendship and love. ahaha lovers and friends. you should get a notebook for your poems but not like some ghetto ugly ass notebook but something leather and very classical. LOL. when's your birthday. ahaha. i'll get one for you." "this poem soo good. i like it =] feel better now! hehehehe" I'm not trying to be conceited but girls that have read some of them basically say its really cute and that I'm talented. I've gotten their opinions about my poetry but what do girls feel when they've read a touching poem that people can relate too? I'm a 15 year old kid and I'm just curious about these things. =)
I am interested in writing poems with more elaborate rhyme schemes. Any tips? I have been writing poems for a long time now I have moved from poetry to songs and vice versa. But I have never really 'followed' any pattern that I laid down for myself outside of whatever I feel the first bar sets. So I wanted to ask if anyone knew anyways to learn, develop and master new schemes? I have read about other schemes I have tried them but I never found a way of to really practice and master them. Any suggestions?

The Exclusive Eloquence of the Quran? The Prophet of Islam began conveying his heavenly messages in the midst of society where people’s minds revolved exclusively around eloquent speech and the composition of beautiful and attractive poetry and literary excellence. Under these conditions, God equipped His prophet with a weapon, the Quran, that apparently belonged to the same category as the literary works of the age but possessed unique and astonishing characteristics that were beyond the capacity of the human being to reproduce. a) The Role of Poetry in the lives of the Pre-Islamic Arabs To understand why Muhammad's strongest argument or miracle was a book, the Holy Qur'an, it is necessary to understand the role language and linguistic composition played in the lives of the pre-Islamic Arabs. It is also important to understand the nature of the Arabic language itself during the pre-Islamic period. This understanding will help to show why the revelation of the Qur'an through Muhammad (saww) found attentive ears among his contemporaries, who not only were articulate users of the language but held those skilled in the arts of linguistic composition in high esteem. Before the rise of Islam, Arabic was mainly a spoken language with an oral literature of elaborate poetry and, to a lesser extent, prose. Writing had not yet fully developed and memorization was the most common means of preserving the literature. Both poetry and prose in the pre-Islamic era dealt with a rather limited range of topics which included in the case of poetry praise, eulogy (panegyric), defamation, and love, and in the case of prose superstition, legends, parables, and wisdom tales. Pre-Islamic Arabs took great pride in their language and in articulate and accurate speech, the latter being one of the main requisites for social prominence. On this particular point, Professor Hitti writes: “No people in the world manifest such enthusiastic admiration for literary expression and are moved by the word, spoken or written, as the Arabs. Hardly any language seems capable of exercising over the minds of its users such an irresistible influence as Arabic”. Such was the role that the spoken word played in the life of pre-Islamic Arabs. With the emphasis placed on eloquent and articulate speech, the prominent position occupied by those who had the talent for linguistic composition, and the pride the early Arabs took in their language, it is little wonder that the Qur'an was revealed in the most eloquent, articulate, and elaborate style the Arabic language has known. The Qur'an has without doubt provided a level of linguistic excellence unparalleled in the history of the Arabic language. Theologians explain this phenomenon as God's wisdom in addressing the articulate Arabs through the medium in which they were most adept and with which they felt most comfortable. The effectiveness of the Qur'an was thus ensured by the fact that it represented a level of eloquence unattainable even by their most eloquent speakers. b) Miracles should be relevant to the time God offered the Qur'an as the Prophet's sign in the same way as He offered signs for all the other prophets. He sent the things most appropriate to the time in which they were sent. Thus Prophet Musa (as) had the power to divide the sea with his hand and rod, and to let the rock burst forth with water in the desert, and all his other signs in a time of magic. And Prophet Issa (as) had the power to bring the dead back to life, to make birds out of clay, to cure those who had been blind from birth and the leprous, and all his other signs in a time of medicine. And Prophet Muhammad (saww) had the book and all his other signs in a time of eloquence. If the Prophet had performed some miracle other than the Quran, it would have no meaning for that people, given their mental structure. The path would have been open for all kinds of doubt and hesitation. But the Arabs of that age who were addressed by the Quran could never have any doubts about its extraordinary eloquence, for they were all aware of all the mysteries of rhetoric and had living among them masters of language and literary composition, hence their admitting that the Quran could not have been the production of Prophet Muhammad (saww).
PURPLE PARLANCE Challenge 1 - Poetry? Purple Parlance is an elaborate and ornate particular way of speaking - just as those words are. This is an easy one; what does this phrase mean: Expeditiousness engenders desolation That's a good guess - but not quite. I guess I didn't put that it's from an old adage.
PURPLE PARLANCE Challenge 2 - Poetry? Purple Parlance is an elaborate and ornate particular way of speaking - just as those words are. What does this mean: Exuberant concocters vitiate the fusion of platable seethed water. It's from an old adage.
PURPLE PARLANCE Challenge 3 - Poetry? Purple Parlance is an elaborate and ornate particular way of speaking - just as those words are. The first 2 was easy for someone (you know who you are, lol). How about this one? Extreme adoration fails to take cognizance by physical vision

What do you think about the Christians stealing the Goddess Brigit and making her a Saint? BRIGIT OF THE CELTS ------------------- Brigit was one of the great Triple Goddesses of the Celtic people. She appeared as Brigit to the Irish, Brigantia in Northern England, Bride in Scotland, and Brigandu in Brittany. Many legends are told about Brigit. Some say that there are three Brigits : one sister in charge of poetry and inspiration who invented the Ogham alphabet, one in charge of healing and midwifery, and the third in charge of the hearth fire, smithies and other crafts. This catually indicates the seperate aspects of her Threefold nature and is a neat division of labor for a hard-working goddess. Brigit was probably originally a Sun Goddess, and a charming story of her birth is that she was born at sunrise and a tower of flame burst from the forehead of the new born Goddess that reached from Earth to Heaven. It was likely She who inspired the line in the famous Song of Amergin: "I am a fire in the head." Her penchant for smithcraft led to her association by the Romans with Minerva/Athena. As a warrior Goddess, She favored the use of the spear or the arrow. Indeed, various interpetations of her name exist including, "Bright Arrow," "The Bright One," "the Powerful One" and "The High One," depending upon the region and the dialect. As a Goddess of herbalism, midwifery and healing She was in charge of Water as well as Fire. I don't beleive that anyone has ever counted all teh vast number of sacred wells and springs named after or dedicated to this Goddess. A story is told of how two lepers came to one of her sacred springs for healing and She instructed one Leper to wash the other. The skin of the freshly bathed man was cleansed of the disease and Brigit told the man who was healed to wash the man who had bathed him so that both men would be whole. The man who was healed was now too disgusted to touch the other Leper and would have left him, but Brigit herself washed the leper and struck down the other arrogant fellow with leperousy once more before he could leave. Offerings to the watery Brigit were cast into the well in the form of coins or, even more ancient, brass or gold rings. Other sacrifices were offered where three streams came together. Her cauldron of Inspiration connected her watery healing aspect with her fiery poetic aspect. Brigit is clearly the best example of the survival of a Goddess into Christian times. She was cannonized by the Catholic church as St. Brigit and various origins are given to this saint. The most popular folktale is that She was midwife to the Virgin Mary, and thus was always inviked by women in labor. The more official story was that She was a Druid's daughter who predicted the coming of Christianity and then was baptised by St. Patrick. She became a nun and later an abbess who founded the Abbey at Kildare. The Christian Brigit was said to have had the power to appoint the bishops of her area, a strange role for an abbess, made stranger by her requirement that her bishops also be practicing goldsmiths. Actually, the Goddess Brigit had always kept a shrine at Kildare, Ireland, with a perpetual flame tended by nineteen virgin priestesses called Daughters of the Flame. No male was ever allowed to come near it; nor did those women ever consort with men. Even their food and other supplies were brought to them by women of the nearby village. When Catholicism took over in Ireland, the shrine became a convent and the priestesses became nuns but the same traditions were held and the eternal flame was kept burning. Their tradition was that each day a different priestess/nun was in charge of the sacred fire and on the 20th day of each cycle, teh fire was miraculously tended by Brigit Herself. There into the 18th century, the ancient song was sung to her : "Brigit, excellant woman, sudden flame, may the bright fiery sun take us to the lasting kingdom." For over a thousand years, the sacred flame was tended by nuns, and no one knows how long before that it had been tended by the priestesses. In 1220 CE, a Bishop became angered by the no-males policy of the Abbey of St. Brigit of Kildare. He insisted that nuns were subordinate to priests and therefore must open their abbey and submit themselves to inspection by a priest. When they refused and asked for another Abbess or other female official to perform any inspections, the Bishop was incensed. He admonished them to obediance and then decreed that teh keeping of the eternal flame was a Pagan custom and 6rdered the sacred flame to be extinguished. Even then, She remained the most poular Irish saint along with Patrick. In the 1960's, under Vatican II modernization, it was declared that there was insufficient proof of Brigit's sanctity or even of her historical existance, and so teh Church's gradual pogrom against Brigit was successful at last and She was thus decanonized. It is very difficult to obtain images or even holy cards of ST. Brigit outside of Ireland anymore. Her festival is held on Febuary 1st or 2nd. It corresponds to the ancient Celtic fire festival of Imbolc or Oimelc which celebrated the birthing and freshening of sheep and goats (it really is a Feast of Milk). This festival was Christianized as Candlemas or Lady Day and Her Feast day, La Feill Bhride, was attended by tremendous local celebration and elaborate rituals. Her festival is also called Brigit. Brigit (the Goddess and the Festival) represents the stirring of life again after the dead months of the winter, and her special blessings are called forth at this time. Since She was booted out of teh Church for being Pagan, it is incumbant upon us Pagans to restore Her worship to its former glory especially those of us of Celtic ancestory. Here is an ancient rite to invite Brigit into your home at the time of her Holiday: Clean your hearth thoroughly in teh morning and lay a fire without kindling it, then make yourself a "Bed for Brigid" and place it near the hearth. The bed can be a small basket with covers and tiny pillow added as plain or fancy as you like. If you have no hearth, you can use the stove and put the bed behind it. Then at sundown light a candle rubbed with rosemary oil and invite Brigit into your home and into er bed; use the candle to kindle your hearthfire if possible. Make your own poem to invite Her or use the ancient song mentioned earlier. Let the candle burn at least all night in a safe place. You might even want to begin the custom of keeping the eternal flame; it is a popular custom in some magickal and Wiccan traditions. AFter all, it's up to us now to keep the spirit of Brigit alive and well for the next thousand years at least!!! By Morning Glory Zell from AMARGI Vol I. No.3 Feb. 1st 1989 Used By permission It's a wonder in itself that the Christians have gotten along with their kneejerk rote rot for so long and even when confronted by historical fact. Also, I am sorry the poor things have reading something so long. I suppose that is why they have never read their own Bibles and just repeat the words of their shouters.

PLEASE HELP!!! first and best answer gets 10 points!!? What would you write about the following archetype: a crossroad as a symbol of choice or conflict. help, i'm confused. I can't really elaborate on it other than, choices and if we choose one way, we move in one direction and it will make a lasting impact on your life, etc. I put this in poetry because an archetype is a symbol, image, or pattern that appears in literature.

Should I be Worried? I am bipolar II. I have been on medication off/on for a little over a year now, though mostly on it. I am currently on lithium and celexa (just reintroduced the celexa after quitting it when it caused a brief manic episode about 2 or 3 months ago.) I have been on the Celexa for two weeks, graduated up to 20 mg a week ago. I've been under a lot of stress lately, and have handled it fairly well. I was severely depressed about a month ago, but have been getting progressively better. Suddenly today I've started thinking in poetry again. Every thought has to be twisted into some elaborate or abstract rendition. I can't stop. Thinking far ahead of myself, too. I feel lightweight, but not ecstatic. It is odd. I'm not giggly or bubbly like I usually am when hypomanic. I just caught myself smiling as I flipped my parents off behind their backs, and it was not even a conscious decision. They didn't even do anything to warrant it. Should I be worried by this behavior? Suicide has been integrated into the thought process, as well. Quite strongly, despite my efforts to repel it. I am 17 yo, by the way.
