normally the mod in me would say 'stay on topic' but your poems serve a purpose.
in them i see no beauty
seriously. while i enjoyed them they were beautyless.
i suppose because of this we should try and define what beauty in poetry is. i'm not sure i can though.
no, please don't post all the beautiful poems you can all think of. a line or two maybe. with a reason why.
i remember reading a poem about a soldier coming back, or not coming back from the iraq war (i can't remember which) by the end of it i had visible tears on my cheeks. of course it was emotional blackmail in words but they were profound enough to make me cry. another is the pieces of heart story, come prose poetry where an old man heart is made up of little pieces blah blah blah... they were fairly cheap poems in the literary sense but expensive emotionally. for me they had some kind of beauty.
