About Categories:
This is just a quick guide so you know what to expect when you
start reading a poem.
I don't usually write with a purpose. I just write what I write.
I don't know how it will come out until its done.
(inspiration/philosophical)
For the most part, these categories are found together.
Most of my poems are inspirational. Be inspired by the tone, by
the rhythm or the poetic form, and by the words that are said.
Most of my poems are inspirational because that is what I do
most: get you to see the positive side of a real situation. All
these poems came from my experience, and that is one reason
readers find the inspirational poems to be moving and realistic.
Philosophical is similar to Inspirational, but different.
Philosophical is similar to Inspirational in that philosophical
poems are usually also inspirational because we look at topics,
we look at our lives, and look deeply: we try to find a
conclusion, and hopefully a positive one, from it. That makes
philosophical and inspirational in a poem.
Different: some poems are purely philosophical. Some exist to
make a point. Some examine a situation, but does not even pretend
to make any conclusions. Some are just thought provoking, making
you think about something you may not have looked at before - or
looked at in a new way.
(humor)
These should make you laugh.
I tend to write more comedies than anything else
(love)
Love. Romantic feelings between two people. Feel romantic and
moved with these poems.
(fun)
Fun poems are pleasant and put a smile on your face.
Fun poems differ from humor in that there is no jokes. You wont
laugh, but that's not a bad thing.
Fun poems differ from inspirational because, they're not
necessarily inspirational. They may be, but they may not be.
In any case, these are pleasant reads in one way or another.
(story)
My story poems not that long, usually a page, sometimes 2 pages,
but no longer. I'm not one of those types that creates an epic.
But stories are about life, about a person, something about
myself, they may be scenes, an event, or biography. Stories, in
poetic form.
Some stories are serious, some are not.
