Poetry is a form of expression that can take a lifetime to master but moments to enjoy. So for all the poets and poetry lovers out there here is a group for you and for everyone. Lets share a verse, a quatrain, a simple melody and all be entertained.
As above so below
Winds that blow
Rain coming down turn into snow
A heart healed by love
Of a soul of fire
Quench only by desire
Angel's kiss burn bright
Harboring deep on the darkest of Night!!!!

Here's a worthwhile thought my grandfather told me
in regards to poetry, "While a picture may be
worth a thousand words. The right words are worth
a thousand pictures." The right words are the
right time can be a expotentially more moving than
anything in an image.

Haikus are easy. But sometimes they don't make
sense. Refridgerator.

OK so since it would be shitty not to have at
least one poem in here lets start off with some of
my current obsession in poetry, Omar Khayyam.
So I be written in the Book of Love
I do not care for that book above,
Erase my name or write it as you will.
So I be written in the Book of Love.

As drunk I passed by tavern late at night,
With jug in hand a graybeard came in sight
"No shame before your God, Old Man?" I cried
"O God is gracious - drink!" she big aright.
-----------------------------------------
With grace and beauty though He fashioned me -
With face like tulip, form like cypress tree -
Iknow not in this pleasure-house of dust,
Why Master Painter thus embellished me.
---------------------------------------------
Then thirst'ly pressed my lip to lip of urn,
From it the secret of long life to learn
And lip to lip it softly breahted to me:
"O quaff! you won't into this world return."
-------------------------------------------
Against a stone I dashed the jug last night
(Drunk was I then and made a shameful sight)
In mutter words I heard the jug forewarn:
"Like you was I-like mine shall be your plight!"
