You want to know about me? Hmmm, this should be fun.
I'm a Sixth Form student from Cambridgeshire for those interested, I'm planning to go on and do Classics at University. I'm taking English Lit A Level, love reading (Poetry and Prose) but really don't read as much as I should. This is bad as you can't write poetry and prose if you don't read it.
My poetry is... very variable, it all just depends on what inspiration chooses to strike me. That said, I love language, rhythm, and rhyme, and feel that while poetry can be used to make important points or statements, the most important point is that it is expressed well. Poems that make amazing philosophical points or convey excellent emotion, still lack something if they don't sound good. Even if you don't understand a poem, you should be able to go "This is cool" and work it out later.
In my opinion anyway.
I've written poetry all my life - most of it being awful on account of me writing it aged 7 - but just recently I've been writing a lot more and have what I now consider to be some acceptable material. Of course, I'm sure I'll hate it in a year or so.
I'll probably add to this sometime. Ciao.

No one told me to await the toll of midnight. / But still I cannot think the dark is empty - / I’m not deceived - and for a thousand crimes / My Erinyes are coming to the family seat. / / Go to the glass for it will come, / A grey mist creeps - As It Falls Away at sharepoetry
The shrouding glow of ersatz sun / Veils over city sky; my life long custom. / Grey vapour swells, the English friend, / And hovers as black canvass far above / On which the city radiates and glows. / / For twenty years it’s hovered thus, - The Cub Dreams of You at sharepoetry

silverlining on December 4, 2005Hey Chris,
Just wanted to let you know I've got a contest going at the moment, about Bush and America, and I'd love to see you enter.

silverlining on November 30, 2005Hey Iorek,
Thankyou so much for your honest appraisal of my work and also for your kind words. I am impressed that a poet of your calibre takes the time to not only improve their poetry but also the poetry of those who will one day follow in their footsteps. I just wanted to let you know this way as opposed to IM's, which can get lost in the middle of all the poets demanding that people read their work! I am on my way to read a few pieces, and I'm happy to play whatever tag game you suggested. Thanks again, and you'll hear from me in just a moment-

EmptyProdigy on April 6, 2005Thanks for your comment on my poem, "My Love". I truly appreciate getting constructive criticism. I doubt I'll change the poem, but it's definitely something I will consider in the future. Nobody is constructive, so I really appreciated your comment. Best of luck to you and your lover.
