Poetry – InsanePoet

InsanePoet Member Posts: 638 From: Vermont, USA Registered: 03-12-2003	Is anyone like traditional (as in meter, rhyme scheme) poetry. I'm currently writing a poem, and I'll post it if anyone wants. I am the InsanePoet after all ------------------ Victory Infinitum

InsanePoet Member Posts: 638 From: Vermont, USA Registered: 03-12-2003	I posted some works before, but no one said anything. My poetry is more archaic with thee ands thou. Of course I maintain a consistant meter and rhyme scheme. I'll post my new one as soon as it's finished. ------------------ Victory Infinitum

InsanePoet Member Posts: 638 From: Vermont, USA Registered: 03-12-2003	Alright here is the one you missed. My God art Thou Of all the things I could expound, Of grace, of might or love profound, Yet Exceed'th all of these three, Is the supreme holiness of Thee. Holy, holy, holy, my God art Thou. To Thee I fall in tremb'ling bow. My face I hide to that I'm not, Shaken by the very thought. Holy, holy, holy, my God art Thou. Time itself to Thee not bound. Oh many words cannot express, The power of Thy holiness. Holy, holy, holy, my God art Thou. My wand'ring self to Thee is found. My eyes revealed to Thy majesty, Yet perceive'th not the holiness of Thee. And here is the one I'm working on, it's not quite done. Thy Glory Fills All the lands Thy glory does fill. In azure blue painted on the sky... Mighty reply, sounding through the hills... And all that is lives to testify... Chorus-- The Glory of my Lord, my King Of Thy Glory I will sing And through life and death proclaim The power and glory of Thy name ------------------ Victory Infinitum

InsanePoet Member Posts: 638 From: Vermont, USA Registered: 03-12-2003	Now, Angel, I really hope you didn't have 'pitchers' going though you head. Pictures are good, but not pitchers. Hehe ------------------ Victory Infinitum

c h i e f y Member Posts: 415 From: Surrey, United Kingdom Registered: 03-07-2002	InsanePoet ..... you certainly have the gift for poetry - as already said, elegant is the apt description - have you seen Sarah MacLachlan in action with her "in the arms of an Angel" ? here she is : www.sarahmclachlan.com/f_photogallery.html oh, yes, just imagine her behind a piano - well dark and surrounded by candles and now cue : Spend all your time waiting for that second chance for a break that would make it okay there's always one reason to feel not good enough and it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction oh beautiful release memory seeps from my veins let me be empty and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight in the arms of an angel fly away from here from this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort there so tired of the straight line and everywhere you turn there's vultures and thieves at your back and the storm keeps on twisting you keep on building the lie that you make up for all that you lack it don't make no difference escaping one last time it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees in the arms of an angel fly away from here from this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort there you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here has anyone else SEEN her deliver these stunning lines? this was originally released back in 1997, now re-released Feb 2002 as it's SOOOO good. Her performance has my back in turmoil with shivers, electricity and I am just SO moved by it all - I just have to rewind the video to 0000 and start again what a corker...... poetry that doesn't rhyme, I guess that's...............lyrics...... ------------------ from your old mate : c h i e f y (global chiefy to yer old seadog seafarin' mateys)

D-SIPL Moderator Posts: 1345 From: Maesteg, Wales Registered: 07-21-2001	Trigger Happy, that's me (not Dom Jolly though!!). Anywayz, D-SIPL, well i Dj and thats the name i came up with... sorry it's not a long deep meaningfull story.. how about you chiefy?? --D-SIPL
c h i e f y Member Posts: 415 From: Surrey, United Kingdom Registered: 03-07-2002	well D-SIPL thanks for asking and thanks for the reply too... This goes back quite a few years, it's boring but so true... At work I would say to customers "Right chief - how can I sort you out then?" or "Listen chiefy - that's not the way we do things around here" Don't ask me why I started talking to people like that, it must have been influence from a TV programme, or something like that. Anyway as time went on, other staff saw me treating customers like that and referred to me as - wait for it - "chiefy" ...yes so, after a while I eased off on calling customers "chief" and then stopped it altogether - but that nickname has stuck with me now for 10 years! (I've heard worse nicknames than that - so fine!) ------------------ from your old mate : c h i e f y (global chiefy to yer old seadog seafarin' mateys)
