No.
I speak six languages, yet seldom know what to say to express emotion or how to say it poetically ... I'm good with raw logic, facts, and details, and I can memorize and recite someone elses poems, but creating refined poetry is beyond my skills.

The Haiku style of poetry always came easily to me.
by Talimze on January 23rd, 2008
I can't write poems for shit. I pretty much can only speak literally.
by Zack on January 23rd, 2008
Nope but I do know someone that it does come easy for. She knows who she is.
by Keysha on January 20th, 2008
Words in prose, poetry, or rhyme,
Each have a place, position, and time.
To some, the penning comes easily,
As it happens, one is me.
Penning things, upon command,
Is possible for me, indeed I can.

Mostly yes,
Sometimes not
Depends on if my keyboard's hot.
by hijklmno on January 23rd, 2008
Depends on the poem...

Writing anything is like pulling teeth for me. I use to have a job writing I had great idea but couldn't get thmem from my head to the paper.
by Da Azian Boi on January 20th, 2008
It pretty much does.
by have mercy love :( forgive me. on November 10th, 2009
Yep. Being an english major and avid love of languages around the world, I love poetry and its easy flowing.
by Anonymous on November 10th, 2009
Not at all. When I am inspired to write it is usually in the odd hours of the night, around 1 or 2 AM... and then it starts to flow.
by Lemonyellow Di Vintage on January 24th, 2008
I'm no poet
by Merfish on January 23rd, 2008
No, not at all. I can't even write a lymerick without making someone mad at me. I am truly untalented at writing. I will stick to painting.
by Kitt-tastrophy on January 23rd, 2008
It used to come really easily for me, but I've had writer's block for years!
by Gabstar on January 23rd, 2008
nup..... don't even go there :)
by Tinkabelle on February 14th, 2008
It used to. Now? Not so much.
by Anonymous on August 28th, 2008
A poet goes through seasons of inspirations. When it's the season to write, then writing owns you, it's like the poem is already there, alive, and you were chosen by it to write it for the world. You feel like a mediator between the world of imagination/inspiration and this world. You can mediate because you know both languages. Yes, if you are in the right season, the poem writes itself through you. If you are not in the right season, then you can hardly write a good verse.

It does. . . . . .but I DON'T particularly enjoy reading it as a whole! Go figure!
by K.C.Colt on September 7th, 2009
It has goten pretty easy at times and sometimes harder.
by Desiderata on October 19th, 2008
I normally can only write poetry when I am in an emotional state (very sad, angry, delighted, worrisome, etc.) or if I am surrounded by something inspiring like nature or other art forms. Other than those situations, I am a dead cell when it comes to writing poetry.
by Big on October 13th, 2008
yes sometimes it does. It allows me to let out my feelings in a pleasant non-violent way
by angel_face on January 20th, 2008
If I'm either in love, or like really depressed I can write really good poetry, but otherwise it doesnt come so easy. lol

Would this be at least somewhat okay as a rough draft for a non-rhyming poem...? It's due tomorrow. (Read Description)

Wow, six languages! Which ones?
by Da Azian Boi on January 20th, 2008
German
English
High Plains Cree
Inuktitut
Mandarin Chinese
French
... but I'm not truly fluent in any of them ...
by Takei-Shihan on January 20th, 2008
That's great though.
by Da Azian Boi on January 20th, 2008
German was my first. I was born in Canada, but at 7 months old my family was transfered to an Air Force Base in Germany. We came back when I was 5. I still speak it like a small child and have never learned to read or write it.
by Takei-Shihan on January 20th, 2008
That's cool. German certainly is an interesting language, and it helpful to know it. Same with those other languages, they must be helpful in traveling. Even if you aren't fluent.
by Da Azian Boi on January 20th, 2008
English is my main language, but is also the only one I ever failed in school.
.
Cree & Inuktitut I speak slightly from my time as the first aid guy on northern oil drilling rigs on native land ... I was the only one never too busy to talk ... again, I never learned to read or write.
by Takei-Shihan on January 20th, 2008
Mandarin I only learned to read because of my advanced Chinese Herbology & Moxibution lessons and my vocabulary is limited to health science topics and herb names.
by Takei-Shihan on January 20th, 2008
I'm fairly good at French, it is my sixth learned but my second most used. I can actually read, write and speak well.
by Takei-Shihan on January 20th, 2008
French is also very useful. Thanks for sharing!
