Tyler's Prose Poem(s)
« on: July 10, 2008, 05:04:27 PM »
Okay, so I guess you could say I've started writing something. It's not a fanfic, and it's not poetry. I really don't know what it is, but I wrote it anyways. Hopefully more will follow. They're monologues, I think. :-\ This first one is called 'It Rains.' I wrote it while I was watching it rain a few minutes ago. Hope you all like it. Personally I think it's a little girly...and also not very good.

It Rains

Tiny little explosions cover the road. The pavement is slick with water, as it endures the vicious pounding of the rain. It slows. Water from the heavens pours into the stormdrain, falling down to the sewers, the abyss. Where monsters are born and our fears lie dormant. The air is cool, but not for long. Soon The Sun will show itself once more, bringing heat and light to where there was once darkness, and cold. Steam will come up from the ground, and rise up into the skies once more. Soon, it will all be over. But not now. For now, it rains.

Really cool, Tyler.
There's a method to my madness, I just haven't figured it out yet.

You wrote a Prose-Poem. Seriously. That's what they are called. Free Verse Prose Poem.

Observe, a different format:

It Rains

Tiny little explosions cover the road.
The pavement is slick with water,
as it endures the vicious pounding of the rain.
It slows.

Water from the heavens pours into the stormdrain,
falling down to the sewers,
the abyss.

Where monsters are born and our fears lie dormant.
The air is cool, but not for long.
Soon The Sun will show itself once more,
bringing heat and light to where there was once darkness,
and cold.

Steam will come up from the ground,
 and rise up into the skies once more.
Soon, it will all be over.
But not now.
For now, it rains.

---
See? Prose-Poem. Not too bad at all, for a first run, especially considering that you weren't sure where you were going with it. Keep it up!
The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

I've written a Prose-Poem of my own to complement yours. Think of it as a duet. <3 :)


It Rains                                                         It Shines
Tiny little explosions cover the road.                            A great blaze of light fills the sky.
The pavement is slick with water,                                The trees reach high to drink in the light,
as it endures the vicious pounding of the rain.                as it gently kisses their leaves.
It slows.                                                                  It burns.

Water from the heavens pours into the stormdrain,          Radiance from above pours down upon my face,
falling down to the sewers,                                          casting gold into the sky,
the abyss.                                                                the Heavens.

Where monsters are born and our fears lie dormant.         Where angels rise and our hopes take flight.
The air is cool, but not for long.                                    The air is warm, for a fleeting instant.
Soon The Sun will show itself once more,                        Soon the Storm will return in force,
bringing heat and light to where there was once darkness, bringing chill and rain to the heart of the heat,
and cold.                                                                   and light.

Steam will come up from the ground,                              Mist will descend to the Earth,
 and rise up into the skies once more.                             and sink into the grass as dew.
Soon, it will all be over.                                                Soon, the clouds will return.
But not now.                                                              But not now.
For now, it rains.                                                         For now, it shines.
The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

Pretty awesome stuff, Tyler. Yeah, I agree with Duff, you should definately write some more.
I can still remember the words and what they meant.
