ok....one more try
 

Dizziness sets in
Is this really what I want?
I ask myself in darkness
With the cigarette burning inches of its life and years of mine

Fantastical ideas of the abstract love
An thought it is....and so it shall be
Commitment is word used only by the secure
And the unstable suffer with tragedy after tragedy.

Looking back hurts
Differing the truth from lie
Makes me cry
Inside, makes me die.

So you toyed with me, had your fun
Hope you're happy because i'm not
This is what I get for falling for you
And this song what you get for ****ing with a 17-year old






This is VERY much a freeverse because i do not have the creativity to create stanzas and rhythm and ****. I just wanted some poetry. Feel free to tear it apart, I dont find it very good.

lol, do you cut yourself too?

Theres like, two okay lines the rest are ruined by your angst.

lol. you like the cigarette line, right? i personally loved it.

Oh gosh

First stanza last line the word life should be changed. Only because a cigarette isn't a living thing.

Second stanza first line the word fantastical. Ditch that.
Second stanza second line. Change An to A
Second stanza, third line I added the word a
Second stanza last line. it just doesn't sound right and it's something of a cliche and a stereotype.

The third stanza should probably be of fby itself and would probably go better with either a different subject or an entirely new song or whatever this is.

The last stanza deviates is in no way organized so that it goes with the rest of this.

Try

So you toyed with me, had your fun
This is what I get for falling for you
And this is what you get for ****ing a 17-year old

I deifnitely think the word falling could be substituted for something else. And maybe if you an add anothe rline or 3 it will carry more meaning to it.
Otherwise. . . . . . .

Yeah, and "Fantastical ideas of the abstract love"
Change it to fantastic though.
Oh, Raine shut up.
Seriously, "OMGZ DAT IMAGERYYZ ISNT ACCURATE LOLZ BADDDWRITING."
Look at the blood brothers, "bullimic rainbows vomit what?"
Does that make sense? No, is it a good line? yes.
Besides, ciggarettes = burning. Burning = fire, and fire is often refered to as living.
Actually, look life up in the dictionary fire could be applied to plenty of those.

why

The 6 characteristics of living things:

1) reproduction
2) metabolization
3) movement
4) growth and development
5) respond to the environment
6) adapt to their environment.

I'm sorry but a burning cigarette isn't a living thing.
Why don't you find a scientific dictionary and look up life.

Oh and PS: I never said it was a bad line.

And I never said it was bad writing but look at this:

Sounds like you don't think it's ood writing. Or harbor positive feelings to this piece.

Read my post.

"Besides, ciggarettes = burning. Burning = fire, and fire is often refered to as living."

I was speaking in the songwriting sense, i've seen fire refered to as living plenty of times in songs and it has worked.

"Actually, look life up in the dictionary fire could be applied to plenty of those."

Did I say it was? Nope, I said it could be and for the record, technically a fire could be a living thing. "to continue in existence, operation, memory, etc.; last: a book that lives in my memory." I could probaly dig more stuff up but I don't paticuarly care to.

So I can't call you on something I disagree with? My opinions havn't changed on it. That was pretty pointless to point our Raine, what were you trying to prove?

So what was the point of your previous post telling me to look up the word living in a dictionary?

Technically a fire can not nor will it ever be a living thing.
But metaphorically yes it can be.

I don't particularly feel like thrashing my brain trying to remmeber Biology 1 stuff so we'll agree to disagree on this since neither of us arguing benefits Pipers who started this thread for opinions on her work. The fact that you and I have different opinions on it shouldn't be an issue.

End of useless of spam

A fire can be a living thing you thick brained cavewoman. I'm not talking in the tangible sense, i'm talking in the memory sense. I pulled it right out of the dictionary and double checked it on the internet. Theres no "agree to disagree" issue here, unless you're proud to be ignorant and ignore things looking you in the face.

Contradiction much?

Oh so it's nice to know we believe everything we find on the internet. Oh how modern day technology has transformed us into sloths.

And what is memory sense? Explain that because it doesn't really help your case (anyway) so i'm trying to understand what is going through your mind here.

And I know I said this before but I'll say it again because you seem to be rather determined to pursue this issue, in the metaphorical sense a fire can be a living thing. but it is not a living thing.

There i put it in italics just so it stood out. Didn't want you to miss it.

And since you don't want to do the whole agree to disagree thing, can we at least drop it now?

Oh and PS:
ever hear the phrase "fuel to the fire"
fire isn't a living thing but it does have some of the characteristics of a living thing. it can be fed

Once again, learn to read. At least make your semi-nice insults accurate.

"I pulled it right out of the dictionary and double checked it on the internet."

"The fire I saw that night still lives on in my mind", or if you want me to rephrase that to include the exact word. "The fire that night is still alive in my mind". Unless you consider that inproper use of the word alive and two up to date english dictionary systems are wrong.


See above, it isn't speaking metaphorically at all. Seeing as it being alive in memory would be correct.

Alright as long as you don't pull any "i gotta get the last word" crap.

I'm not one for petty insults. I'd like to think I'd more sophisticated than that.

In any event. I see your point; acknowledged the validity of it more than once.

But we are talking about fire as a living thing in the context the way in which Pipers used it. She didn't say memory or anything like that.
I interpreted as i did and you started this whole thing over my interpretation of it.

you seem to be done with this. And as I've gotten over this a few posts ago, I definitely think we should stop this now.
The least we can do is leave this thread with our maturity in tact.

But this way fun. Thanks. :)
