A few writer friends of mine and me are working on something, sorta kinda poetry but not really. We are trying to just put down a list of words that invoke some sort of strong emotion in the reader. No real message or storyline just well I don't know but I was hoping to get some feedback from someone outside my little self absorbed circle. Just tell me if the following does anything for you.

Heartbeat
Whispers
Slows
Pale
Fingers
Love
Arrow
Wounds
Walls
Ears
Cheek
Eyelashes
Heartbeat
Stop


   Yeah yeah I know, not anything splenderous about it but hey, we're teenagers with no lives. We have a right to experiment!!< !signature-->

Nice, nice, nice!  A great idea, kind of the ultimately restrictive poem?
No sentences, just an arrangement of single words... i must say that it interests me.
Once I regain my writing edge, I shall give it a go.
Until then, you all go ahead.  I love the idea.

hey thanx man, I'm glad it's not just a group of kids with mental problems that are intersted in the idea. We just view words as another form of art. Which makes this abstract? I dunno, anyways thanx for your input, I personally consider your opinion to be professional.

Is this gonna be another string of exchanges between the two of us, poet?  ~_^
Thanks for the compliment.

well if I don't complete this reply then no it wont be, but since I'm going to it looks like it might end up that way...isn't it kinda cruel though to make it look like a whole bunch of people commented on this poem when only 2 people are replying?< !signature-->

I would just like to give 'credit' where it's due. This work is all mine and totally original because I thought it up myself, but the poem "Heart Whispers" by Bright_Eyes a few posts ago did help to inspire me. Basically after reading her poem I got a few ideas. Just didn't want to take full credit for this.

I thought this was nice. I liked the idea. Pretty creative. The ending especially. Very good........impacting.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I admire it daily

wow, in my efforts to push all the old poems of other people back up to the top I have pushed mine down...we can't have that now can we? And thanx everyone for your feed back on my disfigurment of the poetic arts. It lets me know I'm not alone!
