Poetic Sleeping Pills♥

Grabed Your Attention Huh?? lol

Anyway Back To The Topic At Hand, BORING POETRY You Guys! I've Sadly Found That Alot Of The Poems On This Site Puts Me To Sleep, Rarely Do I Read Any Of Origionality Anymore, Poetry Is Begining To Sound Repetitive And Thats Mundane To Me...If Anyone Knows Of Any Possible Ways To Come Up With Something Not Already Written Or Talked About It Would Mean Alot To Me, Because I'm Personaly Guilty Of The Same Thing! I'm Starting To Write Things I've Already Written About Years Ago...How Can I Spice Up My Poetry Without Using The Same Ingredients I've Used Before?

That is a good question. Someone once told me I need to write about things that appeal to the people who is reading my poetry. They said I wrote about things that most people on this site couldn't relate to. And they were right... partially, anyway. Most of the people who are on this web site are younger than me and for me to write about the agony of getting older and buying wrinkle creams just doesn't appeal to someone who's biggest problem is what is happening to them at school. So I tried to write about some of the things that I thought might appeal to them, and I found out that didn't work either. Now, I just write about what ever. As for finding something new to write about, I open up the dictionary. not only do you get different ideas, but you increase your vocabulary.

The hardest thing for me to write about is lasting love or love at all. Every time I try, It just doesn't turn out right unless I end it by saying it's just a dream or there is no such thing. But that's just me. Some people on this site can write beautiful love poems.

Kind of diverting from the original topic, but that is one of my little quirks.

Also, check out the contests. Sometimes, there are some really original ideas for poetry.

Maybe seeing the mundane in a new light. I used to see this water tower everyday. Then one day I was inspired by it. I wrote a poem about a very large spider. I called the poem the Wichita Water Tower Spider, lol. The teacher gave me an "A".

Aww Thats Cool

haha yes
very cool =]

Easy. Look around you at the world and the simplest things.
Take an object and turn it into a dark, mysterious thing or a crying child like poem.
I know it sounds hard, but once you start seeing objects in a different way, you will look at an object and start thinking how you could make it a poem without even realizing it!
I hope this helps.

It all depends on the way you look at it. If you think other peoples poems are boring, and yours are boring, then it/they may not be to the writer/reader. That sentance almost confused me.

For example: My poem 'unwanted' is about how upset I am when I can't see my Dad. I care more then my two siblings, and I get really upset. Reading the poem (Leave a comment please : ) ) some might think it's boring. But to the writer, it has a strong meaning.

Example: I read a poem 'Life is a Canvas' and it is a great poem. But some mighjt think compairing life to art is overused. But that doesn't stop me from loving the poem.
