It's something that can last forever.
A word with so much power
it can come in droplets
or pour like a shower.
It gets riper with age,
this extraordinary feeling of rage.
Expressing it isn't tough,
it can hurt people so much, yet
I can't get enough
It flows through me like a river,
and its something I love to deliver.
It truly helps me get through the day,
what causes this I cannot say.
This is something I can't debate,
I have an overwhelming amount of this thing called,
Hate

It's something that can last forever.
A word with so much power

Nicely written
This really appealed to my 'darker side'...I've felt this way myself and I think a lot of people can relate to the emotion here- though some may not care to admit it.
-
hate is evil its cruel and horrible i try not to hate (even though i have an extremely short temper) I've seen what it does to people and well i dont wanna be that way an angry pessmist is not the personality i want people to remember me with but i do respect your courage to write about something of this measure
-
Nice!
First off, I'd like to tell you that this is a truly great poem. It was very well written and I think it had a nice flow throughout its entirety. However, after reading it I'm afraid I was laughing. Maybe that just means that I'm sick in the head, but nonethless, it will not make the finals in this contest. Sorry, and thanks for entering, this is a damn good write.
-
wow strong write my friend and loved it alot, the structure, the theme and how you ran with it freely, and everything you did with syntax and ition was original and well worth the reading, but this is a very tight competition and feel that this was not enough to send you through to the next round. this does not men that your poem wasn't good enough at all, I just feel that there was something about your poem needed a bit more imagery and passion to really grip me to place you in the finals and your poem lacked that. but i did enjy reading it's ambiguity and its pliability.
well done and thankyou so much for entering.

Loving this poem =D

awesome rhyme in this one
One of my favorites so far
"It gets riper with age,
this extraordinary feeling of rage.
Expressing it isn't tough,
it can hurt people so much, yet
I can't get enough"
aint that the truth
-
WOW! Great write!
Hate - yes its a wonderful thing to have in you! It can sometimes create wonders! Amazing write! -
great poem, you deserved your shiny trophy, i love the rhyme of the poem and it makes the poem flow so brilliantlym the way you talk of it getting riper with age is so true and its amazing how rage can build up within us until we are nothing but pure hatred just bubbling over, well done on a great write and i love how you have used the word hate to conclude this powerful poem, congrats.
-
cool
-
well written.
quite...angry, dark. -
Awesome
This is really good, very well written and very strong. Keep it up! -
Hey, awesome poem that you have here and it is so true. One four letter word can have so much meaning and whatnot behind it, it's pretty incredible when you think about it. I've felt this way before, and not gonig to lie, it's not something I like so much because at the time it feels good, but that feeling can be so draining. I loved the rhyme and flow in this as well. Anyways, nice job, I enjoyed reading it!
-
nice

Simply evilly Amazingly True
-
Oh wow the power of thought from within flows to perfection.
Hate is such hard emotion to deal with and revenge so sweet.
Well done to you on the Gold and well deserved
Keep on writing

Wow
A wonderful poem... I really can feel the flow of the emotion! I love these lines
"It flows through me like a river,
and its something I love to deliver."
and it's truly is easy to express hatred. It just bubbles up and flows out. -_-
Great Write keep up the good work.

Hate"

DAM THIS SHIT IS CRUNK
MAN YO I LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU PUT ALOT OF CONTRASTS WITH HATE AND I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL!.... I DO THINK IT IS A POWERFUL WORD BUT SHOULD BE USED A RARELY AS POSSIBLE BUT ANYWAYZ GOOD WRITE!!! -GORE
-
-
Thank you very much i appreciate it
-
-
Nice rhyming added a smooth, fluid feel to the poem. What I really liked about it was the exceptance that hate is an awful thing, and still the love of it. No denial, just not-so-plain, straight forward facts. Kind of scary
GREAT job
diggin it majorly
-
Very strong and well written in truth, something many would never have the courage to say or write about...hate is a harsh emotion that sadly eats away at you...strong and bold, with wonderful flow...Nicely done!
Best,
mystic
-
O my...Yet so many people say they feel hate but this poem I can truly relate to...I love the fact you wrote about HATE...since most think its such a life decreasing emotion...I feel hate more than anything in my life...the next to hate is love for one person...you are a great writer!!!!

Thank you very much I appreciate it

Welcome to AllPoetry!
Hate is an evil addiction for sure. But so many have it and can't seem to get enough of it. You've expressed that well here. Without rhyme or reason, it is just there.
Good flow and rhythm to your work.
Keep expressing through writing.

A bit of an unhealthy addiction, but I identify with you, and your personification of this emotion is spot-on. Again, there is something lurking in this poem that raises hairs along the back of the readers' necks, and yet they cannot get enough of it. The rhyming was extremely well-thought-out. Lovely job on this piece.

Thank you once again for your comment, an unhealthy addiction indeed but its one I'm slowly learning to cope with

Well done babe. Yet...scary. *sighs*

Well written and flows nicely. (Just a spelling pointer - it's 'through' in this case) Great write.
-

-

-
Ah , such familiar feelings these are, Good write ~Bret~
-
i thought u couldnt write... thats a great poem... and i understand ur feelings.
-
Hate... Well, such a very powerful thought you have woven into a form of poetic indulgence. Interesting flow to say the least. Though I fear I cannot relate, it is always good to express and release.
-
Oh man yes....it's endless isn't it? You did a great job portraying hate.
-
this is a really powerful and true definition of hate.
i enjoyed reading it.
good job
-
Thank you. I didn't realize that I put the wrong "through". I often mispell when I do a "spur of the moment" thing
-
Wow, I really liked this. When you read it, it just flows and you executed the rhyming well. The poem itself is really strong and you displayed hate very well. The only mistake you made was with the third stanza. You should have put "Through" instead of "Threw". Other than that you did excellently, well done and welcome to AP. :)
