In my English class I had to write a poem, which is due tomorrow. >.> <p>Anyhow, we could pick whatever we wanted the poem to be about. So I wrote a poem about socks. <br>I'd like to share this with y'all. I don't expect it to be good or nothin', just a little crazy. :p<p>================<br>Socks<p>To be a sock, <br>Would truly rock. <br>Oh how I wish, <br>I were a sock. <p>I'd be cool, <br>I would rule, <br>All would fear me, <br>All alone, <br>Soon you shall see, <br>And the sock would own. <p>Open your eyes, <br>Hear my voice, <br>Echoing into the shadows. <br>The socks shall call. <p>Despair, <br>With whom shall spare, <br>The intense fury, <br>Of the angry sock. <p>The light of day, <br>Piercing the nightmare, <br>The socks shall emerge; <br>Victorious.<br>================<p>That's it. And yes, I'm going to turn THAT in for my assignment... <br>Which will require my bringing a sock into class to represent the object I'm writing a poem about, then so be it! :p<p>A silly topic, but I couldn't resist... ^.^

Bravo Bravo ~0 <p>Thats very creative :p

Good! Good! :p<p>It kinda Rhymes... :p<br>

That's awesome Dreamer. It was absolutely hilarious in the 'translation' that peaguy came up with.

Hahahaha! Funny poem, Dreamer! Not bad either.

Indeed, the socks do rock.<p>*Whistles and clamors as if at a poetry slam*

Um... it's... interesting.<p>It would be heavily criticized in a college poetry class, though. I'm not being mean, just being honest.

Hmm, I'm up late. Anyways... Thanks all for all your support! <p>POWER TO TEH SOCKS!!!<p> <blockquote>Originally posted by Starlight<br>Um... it's... interesting. <p>It would be heavily criticized in a college poetry class, though.

I hope not... :p) Check out my profile.<p>BTW, don't criticize my creativity, thanks. I only posted it here because to show a rather goofy, yet poetic side of myself. If you don't like it, then don't say anything. It may be a poem about just some plain ol' socks, but I'll defend those socks until the end...it's a worthy cause! (Cheesy line, shoot me now. :p)

College is full of late teen/ early to mid- twenties' kids. Last time I checked, that definitely isn't "old". I never implied that you were at that age, I just said it wouldn't fly in a University. I never "criticized" your poem personally, either.<p>You publicly posted your poem. If it's meant to be goofy, then why are you getting defensive? <p>I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, after all. Relax. It's ok!<p><p>[size=small][Edit by Starlight on [TIME]1113456589[/TIME]][/size]

I wasn't being serious about the age thing, just thought that it was funny that you'd mention college...that's all.<p>For future reference...most of the time when I use THIS :p, that's most likely means that I'm kidding!<p>[quote]You publicly posted your poem.

Also, how was I supposed to react when you posted:<p><blockquote>Um... it's... interesting. <p>It would be heavily criticized in a college poetry class, though. I'm not being mean, just being honest.<br></blockquote> <br>This? <p>Of course I'm going to get defensive! In my opinion, that was rude. So yeah, I'm going to get defensive! <p>I understand that you meant no harm, and no harm's done. You didn't hurt my feelings, all that you did was post something that I thought wasn't nice...there's a difference. <p>If anything, you should be apologising not to me, but to my poem, for I fear that it shall suffer the most. :p

Aye aye aye. %) <p>Listen, I didn't say, "Hey Dreamer, your poem SUCKS!" Now THAT would be rude and against the rules, and just plain crass. I just stated the obvious truth, that your poem would be criticized in a college class. If anything, I'm showing you RESPECT by informing you. So, why are you remotely offended? I'm telling you that you SHOULDN'T be! <p>Like I said, it wasn't meant to offend, just to inform. I just told you I NEVER meant harm. If you ever have plans on going to college, you'd better get used to people disagreeing with you, or even criticizing your stuff. It's a FACT of life. <p>But, I WILL apologize if I hurt your feelings in any way. *Hugs* Okie dokie? Are we cool now? <p> <p>[size=small][Edit by Starlight on [TIME]1113461527[/TIME]][/size]

I don't think that it was your post per se Starlight, but rather the condescending tone you were implying, whether you realized it or not. Often bluntness comes across as negativism and criticism because it's so un-cut and to the bone, and without an introspective understanding of the person in question, 'informing' becomes 'patronizing'. I know it's not intended, that's just how the mind processes word syntax.

I did say I was sorry for any sore feelings, and I said several times I didn't mean to come across rudely. I guess my blunt honesty did more harm than good. My apologies, my apologies. Can we move on now? Or do you all want my blood, next? :p <p><p>[size=small][Edit by Starlight on [TIME]1113496575[/TIME]][/size]

Sì. Sono un vampire in RL e desidero ora bere la vostra anima.

Hahahahahahaha!<p><p>[size=small][Edit by Starlight on [TIME]1113496860[/TIME]][/size]
