View Full Version : My first short poem
Spazola 05-08-2006, 04:21 PM It kinda sucks right now, but I wanted to save it and see if I could fix it. :)
A short silky coat,
black as ink.
Warmth radiating from her tiny body,
golden eyes like two full moons.
Grace comes so naturally,
her moves so smooth and light.
My feline friend,
so dear to me.
CowPunk 05-09-2006, 06:12 PM It's an epic cat haiku! :nice:
fat mike 05-09-2006, 10:17 PM It's not bad,Lass...I'm not sure what you'd want to do to it...
Spazola 05-12-2006, 07:16 PM Thanks! It was tons of fun to write. :D :D :D
No_Brakes 05-12-2006, 07:28 PM So do I...I don't see how you'd want to "fix" that. :cool:
CowPunk 05-12-2006, 08:20 PM Well... in the spirit of a little constructive criticism, mein leibchen, with great affection, I offer the following two suggestions:
1. You might wish to find a simile a bit fresher than "black as ink" for the second line. It's a trifle cliched.
2. "Warmth radiates from her tiny body" fits the metric scheme better than "radiating."
Please don't misunderstand these ideas to represent a general negative criticism of your fine poem, though, sweetie. :)
Spazola 05-15-2006, 04:23 PM FINALLY! The pro gives me some criticism! :w00t:
Thanks CP. That's exactly what it needs. :D :D :D :D :D <3

Any updates?
RightWingZealot 05-17-2006, 04:15 PM I think "Golden eyes like two full moons" should be changed to
"Golden eyes like two milk-jugs full of urine"
...
maybe not
CowPunk 05-17-2006, 05:00 PM Dude, awesome trope! :nice:
RightWingZealot 05-17-2006, 05:13 PM yeah, I came up with that one a while ago.
I have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to use it, but it just seems to fit her poem so well, I thought I'd give it to her.
Im a giver!
No_Brakes 05-17-2006, 05:17 PM That's so generous of you! :)
Spazola 05-17-2006, 07:04 PM I think "Golden eyes like two full moons" should be changed to
"Golden eyes like two milk-jugs full of urine"
...
maybe not
YES! I'll definetly use that! Thanks! :nice: :nice: :nice:
:p
Spazola 05-17-2006, 08:12 PM Edited version! AND I NAMED IT!!! ^_^
Bad Luck
A short silky coat,
as black as the pupils
of her golden, moon-like eyes.
Grace comes so naturally,
her moves so smooth and light.
My feline friend,
so dear to me.
CowPunk 05-17-2006, 08:36 PM That's wonderful, honey. I'm so proud. :)
hurrays! I likes morer. :) ^_^
CowPunk 05-17-2006, 08:41 PM Personally, OTOH, I prefer "her golden, full moon eyes" to "her golden, moon-like eyes."
Spazola 05-17-2006, 09:29 PM That does sound nicer.:thumbsup: And thanks guys! :D :D :D
