Player's Club Poetry Thread

Post by Imitates-The-Lizards » #723436

So, I have been forced at gunpoint by a headmin to make a thread here in the Player's Club to share poetry. I will definitely die if I don't.

Therefore, I am here to share some of my poetry, and hopefully I will inspire some of you to write some of your own as well.

It doesn't necessarily have to be ss13 related. Just a showcase of our poetry from the people in our community, is good enough.

Since I'm starting things off, I will share three of my own personal poems. An abstract one:

To counterpoint that, a literal one:

And lastly, to hopefully give you guys some confidence in writing your own, this poem I wrote when I got a friend of mine to write poetry, and they really impressed me with their skill. I'm sure you can do the same!

Rise,
Called by cruel voices
Stumble,
Shackled by expectation and duty
Walk,
Across salt bleached paths
Listen,
Ears wide to muddled definitions
Return,
Sky shadowed by embrace of night
Lay,
Blankly watch the ceiling

i am about to get political but poetry has always been political

a very funny example of poetry in german politics was by a extreme right wing politician named Tino Chrupalla.


this story pans 2 interviews
in the first one he told a child reporter (literally) that more poetry and folk songs should be taught in schools. The Child reporter then asked him who his favourite poet was, to which he answered Heinrich Heine (of all people!). then the child reporter asks what his favourite poetry by him is, to which Tino has no answer. who doesnt know poetry by his favourite poet?

Interview 2: Talk show
at a different occasion he once again is asked what his favourite Heine poetry is. he proceeds to drop 2 lines:
"Denk ich an Deutschland in der Nacht,
Dann bin ich um den Schlaf gebracht,"
► Show Spoiler
^Translation
uh oh! he drove himself into a corner again! because the Talk show interviewer asks how the Poem continues! She keeps pressing but he wont say (or cant say) because he is a very nationalistic fellow and the poem is not very nationalistic at all! if he had continued, his nationalistic statement would have failed. the gist of it is that Heine is worried about his mother in germany and the friends that died there.
► Show Spoiler
was Tino just worried about his mother and not at all about the state of germany? or did he get clickbaited by a poet from 200 years ago?

Heinrich Heine - Nachtgedanken translated pasted without the german part

Woah bravo there sir, post of the month you saved the thread. I feel overwhelmed by the echo of unlimited wisdom and usefulness sprouting from you post. Every Manuel player now feels embarrased to exist because of your much NEEDED wise words, you sure teached'em all, you genius, IQ lord.

I tend to stay away from poetry because nearly every time I've found a poem I liked I realize a week later it was Kipling again and I don't want to consider the implications of him being my favorite.
