can you speak English???????

go back to school !!!!

Creature you shouldn't tell other people to speak english when you're so horribly bad at it.

Welcome to the threads Kate, if you post poetry in the literary area, it's not guaranteed that people will comment on them, but people will probably read them at least.

And try to tone down on the plzing and thxing and internet shortcuts. If you want to write and be taken seriously, then you've got to type seriously as well. Instead of using internet shortcuts, that's just my opinion though.

Well, I can't say much for your musical tastes, but at least we have Poe to share. I'd be glad to read your work, and I hope you will be happy here.

Well, that's convenient.

Yeah, too bad most of Edgar Allan Poe's fans aren't fan enough to remember how to spell his middle name correctly.

what are you saying????????
is that supposed to offend me and keep me quiet.
i don't have trouble to express myself.
you always seem to bring up the same sorry comment!!!!!!!!!
lack of vocabulary perhaps ????????

I feel like a bad goth. I've read very few things from Poe and what I did read was in school. The only one I liked was the Cask of Amontillado and even that dragged on. I read that one about the guy who abused the cat and it kept coming back and I decided I hated him for writing about animal abuse in such a blase sort of way.

The repetition of your punctuation marks really makes you sound less angry.

Yeah, I read his stuff back in middle school when I wore Tripp pants and wolf shirts. I was good stuff, but I didn't really think it was anything to write home about.

And oh god that cat story made me mad too.

are you being assigned on the forum as the new teacher?
i like to over punctuate when i write.
don't make me cry.
don't ask me why.
i just enjoy doing it,
please don't spoil it.
you are hurting my feelings there,
that's not very nice.

No, I'm just stating facts.

well thank you.
you made me sad now.
are you happy about yourself.
I'm lost now.

Belittling you has made me feel better about myself.

your technique has not been successful.
you thought you did,didn't you?????????
wrong.
you just failed.
hahahaha

-basks in smug satisfaction-

I was always very partial to "Berenice" in which the narrator falls into a trance-like melancholia and obsesses over his cousin. Thinking she has died, the family prepares to inter her in the tombs - but, as in so many Poe works, she is not yet dead. Unfortunately, our young man has already kept the one feature he would want to remember her by: he has pulled out, bloody and pearl-like, all her fine teeth.

I had a hopeless crush on Poe when I was 12. Enduring the wrath of my mother, I even traded my toe shoes to a friend for a hauntingly beautifully illustrated volume of his stories. It was a good trade : )

Sorry my dear that thing is far to easy ...a frozen turd has more intalect than it.....I thought I would point out the obvious...

The Black Cat? At least he said that it was a sin to kill it, that in doing so the narrator has doomed his soul to hell. Masters Of Horror did an episode about it, it was obviously a fake cat when he was struggling with him but I just couldn't watch the eye gouging scene.

I feel like a bad goth, I'm a big Poe fan but I like his comedies and detective stories more than his depressing odes to dead women.

time you two to go outside like good children and play.

Thats why your here....all good children have some toy to break....

eh heh sry for starting up a contraversy (sp?) btw im still in middle school...im sry if i have bad musical taste but its still my taste....and im really sry for all this trouble ^^ Forgiveness please?

Once again, im truly sry....

Don't be sorry. Just get hold of some goth music and give it a listen. There are so many great suggestions in the music threads that I'm sure you'll find something you like. I think people just react badly because music was the impetus for the subculture and continues to be overwhelmingly important. Anyway, happy hunting!

Welcome, Kate. No need to apologise, it's just preferable for you to not type in txt or net speak on this site. Personally I don't particularly care if someone does, so long as I can understand what they're saying, but good grammar and proper spelling are always appreciated. And the reverse tends to be looked down upon, to a fair degree, by other members here.

Korn is a great band, by the way. I quite like some of their music myself. If you're interested in checking out some Goth bands, might I suggest the following...

Bauhaus
Sex Gang Children
Specimen
Play Dead
March Violets
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Sexbeat
Rosetta Stone
Red Lorry Yellow Lorry
Virgin Prunes

That should give you a reasonable start. And Ophelia Snorkel is correct, the music is incredibly important to the Gothic Subculture.

Again, Welcome to the Boards.

That was such a turnoff...............




Naw Jking Welcome to the forums. I'll try get to check your poems out when I can. +
