      i hate abstract poetry,but i feel its unfair to give it a miss...sonnet and abstract are two things i have no idea about...so instead of me telling you the definition of abstract i expect u to help me understand it... i guess its something one doesnt understand in the the very first read...i mean its a complex worded poem with a lot of images and devices which speaks in signs and not simple words...

      i know...but i want to read a lot of stuff...not just her kinda stuff...

  • Well the poem I entered is as abstract as I'll ever get. It sort of just happened. A thought popped into my head followed by some words that seemed to fit just perfectly together.

    And don't think for one moment one doesn't think it through, well for me at least. These words were places together to fit each other and to reject each other all at once.

    The poem will more than likely confuse you, but to me it makes perfectly good sense hehehe. Do enjoy and thanks for the chance for me getting to enter it somewhere at last.

    My bit of research tells that there are several types of writing that falls under the genre "abstract."

  • dang. i missed it =\
