The thing I don't get, is when people shorten words such in text messages and so, they think they are saving time and money, but the recipient of this message rarely understands the message and the sender is forced to send a duplicate message, but in correct grammar using up MORE time and MORE money, so it begs the question. Why don't these people just write in correct English in the first place!?
You'll have that when there are no proper rules of comma usage.
Only stupid people do this.
Other stupid people understand it just fine.
I've found texting using some Shakespearean phrases is quicker.
Quicker to get a goth-emo-girl to fall for you yea lol
No thats impossible since im already the leader
Nah, goth-emo girl poetry is just a poor attempt it. Poetry is a sport best left to professionals.
Oh god, yeah. Good poetry is rare. I'm dumbstruck when I read the utter crap people crank out, thinking they're being profound. They think they're Rembrandts of the written word, but it doesn't deserve space on a fridge door. Awful.
Exactly Sam,
On a certain poetry site I belong to, it's overrun with whiny emo teenagers thinking they are the best poets. I get a kick out of ripping them apart, them running to the mods, mods there saying I played within the rules :P

Its always about love (or lack of it), why does everybody write sad poetry about love? Boring. :rolleyes:
Maybe because anyone happy with love is too busy in the sack to be writing poetry in the first place?
Agreed. WTF is the point of love poems? It seems a cop out to me.
Lol Bob, speaking from experience there? :P
The Russians lost high numbers in their 1 year war with Georgia. They are a shit army. Which makes you wonder why anyone is scared of them. Hell, they even got their asses handed to them by the Afghans.
Never underestimate strength in numbers though, like China, Russia has so many people it can simply overwhelm anything by sheer weight, Hitler's men shot down Russians in their thousands, but they kept on coming, then the winter came. Speaking of which, the Russian winter is Russia's greatest weapon.
And the massive Western coalition force is currently having its arse handed to it by a few Afghans and Iraqis. As for Russia in Afghanistahn, the Mujahideen had Rambo on their side, hardly a fair contest.
Sorry for the immense OT.
Poetry is about expressing yourself, therefor when an emo-goth-girl writes a bad poem it is exactly what it should be - a piece of aweful emotional poetry. The entire point of poetry is not for roses to grow out of manure, but for manure to express just how shit life as manure is.
The problem is that 90% of poetry on poetry forums is emo drivel about how much harder the poets life is than everyone elses. The reason is simple, writting poetry is theraputic and we most need therapy when we're being emo. I even find some emo stuff amongst my back catalogue of poetic drivvel, despite my preference to write about the random.
So in suiteably appalling style i'll now finish with a badly written Haiku with a week seasonal word doubling as the cut:
Ode to bad poet,
You write like your dark makeup,
Night tear at your soul.

That attachment is wrong. Makes Finland out to be a lot greater than it actually was... Not saying they did poorly, but the attachment makes them out to be superhuman...
T'is only for a laugh, don't be so anal. 
You could say superhuman, but if you're going to call Russia's bluff when it's pretty clear they're going to invade if they dont get what they want, then i'd hazard one of their super powers is not intelligence

no way:O, i think he had an aimbot
Nahh.. they do a bit of goddawful fingerpainting and step back and admire what they think is their profound artistry. They don't step back and think "yeah, cool, I wrote a piece of utter drivel", at all.
And poetry isn't about expressing yourself, either. That's a fallacy and it's far too simplistic. Any adolescent can cry in poem or prose and most do. Poetry is about invoking emotion in others. A poem that invokes an empathetic response is art. Emo poetry that invokes an apathetic response is fail.
T'is a well known fact that the majority of emos live in fairly comfortable conditions, but they cry about it all the same, therefore its a fairly safe bet that a lot of emo poetry is not really expressing the feelings/experiences that the writer is actually experiencing. 
emo poetry sucks, theres nothing but complains about how they think that their life sucks when many of em live in fairly good and nice place. id say theres no idea on being an emo, they just have to be negative to everything. usually i dont care about poetry so much but it is simply stupid when someone thinks this is beautiful poetry
''yesterday i almoust killed myseld, i like death, i dont like life...'' and so on
''yesterday i almoust killed myseld, i like death, i dont like life...'' and so on
You sound as if you've never read a poem by an emo goth chick, in my expiernece they usually they hate themselves so much they refuse to accept they've written a good poem even on the rare ocassions when they do.
I have to disagree with this, from a personal perspective I write poetry when I feel like writing. Sometimes it's aweful, sometimes it's bad, ocassionally it's mediochre, and very ocassionally I write a good one. In all the poems I write I do it to express a moment or a feeling or sentiment, the reason I do it is so that I can remember it.
I certainly don't write poetry for you or anyone else to pat me on the back.
Then again, i'm not an emo goth chick, i'm just emo.
I'm in the unfortunate position of having been forced to endure copious amounts of Emo chick poetry because a core part of my English Lit degree was "women studies" - I guess "feminism" was a boo-word by then. I hate Sylvia "Emo" Plath. Always have. Having to study her crap poetry just made me hate her more.
As to whether or not emo chicks hate themselves, there's good reason for them to do so. Emo chick poems are classic demonstrations of self-indulgence, self-obsession, selfishness and self gratification. That's not a criticism, that's just what defines the genre. For me, that makes it all suck.. though I understand and accept that some people find it tolerable.
Nope, of course not. If you wanted people to do that, you'd publish it.
