Art Share🎨
This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨
Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
It says:
I bought a Toke
From a Bloke
In a Cloak
But it was really
Poison Oak
I gagged and choked,
nearly croaked
Then awoke soaked
in egg yolk
That's the danger
of buying smokes
from stranger
folk
Dr. Seuss on 4/20
Rhyming is only part of equation
Timing b another part o creation
Meter may make many miracles
Everrybudy clik on tha spectacal
Limitation be really creative tool
Invitation to others that are cool
Truth tho: you are what you sow
So plant seeds to grow ur show!
I'll be honest I have a really hard time getting a handle on meter :_(
I recommend listening to a song with a solid, steady beat on repeat and writing in rhythm to it. Your brain will naturally conform words to fit that beat. Also, reading poetry can give insights to what is possible. I recommend William Blake as that was who got me to start trying emulate him
Tiger Tiger burning bright

My worst habit is creating a lot more than I read. I'm pretty ignorant to poetry as a topic although I've been at it on and off for a couple years now and its about time I sat down and did some studying.
I usually focus on long strings of rhymes, alliteration and repeating vowel and consonant sounds. When it comes to meter I'm practically deaf to it so far but I've pulled it off in a few rhymes. Didnt worry so much about it for this one.
All in all I have fun doing this whether or not its necessarily a correct way to do poems
Do what comes natural to you and you enjoy doing tf outta and do it all the time. People don't understand this mastery ish is logarithmic; I have gone through several escarpments in capability over the twelve years I've done this near-daily, and I jist gained the ability to guarantee that I can hit near perfect line length the way I do just prior to last year. And it's still going up!
What's a foke?
A fancy Toke

A puff on a cigarette, marijuana cigarette, or pipe containing hashish or another mind-altering substance. A gratuity. A puff of marijuana.

This is dope.
I got tons but I don't want to get spammy
Not many places to post poems on this site :\
Well that's the nice thing about the art share community. You can post any art here. I often post videos of micro organisms that I write music to. That's pretty out there, so really you should feel right at home posting poems lol.
I love poems. I would be very happy to see more from you!
