Poetry in Chatville

I just wrote a poem describing a chatroom I frequent. If it doesn't mean much to you, that's just fine. It's ment to have alot of hidden easter eggs for certen people. If you are famaliar with a chatroom called The Graveyard:1 on Yahoo servers, then I do believe that this poem might seem very famaliar.



The Graveyard:1

Adolescent abhorrent textual ramblings
Illuminating a lucid verity
Expanding emotion within verbose vernacular

A fantastic existence
Merging sentiments with conviction
Reality and fantasy blending throughout
lost within two realms

Shakespearian paradigms
Suicide within immitation
Boasting elite nobility
Replacing death with death

Goodnight sorrow
Plight fades uninterruptedly
Blinding streams of truth
come through the window shade

I suddenly realized the prime opertunity for conversation on this peice! I can take plenty of time to sort of tell you the core meaning behind the poem, and we can discuss the other visions you have from the calm collection of words.

The first verse is short for a reason. You'll notice it's three lines instead of four. This is to signify that you can get away with less online and not have a real reason. It's also ment to shine the light on the adolesence of it all, making it seem as if it's unimportant or unintentional. This ties in later with the third verse line of 'boasting elite nobility'.

The second verse talks alot about reality and fantasy. It's ment to display how personas are created all too often, sometimes without ever really being known (fantastic existance). Opinions and defendables change with the persona, which is displayed in line two of the second verse.

The third verse is chock full of depth. The line 'shakespearian paragidigms' and 'suicide within imitation' hold a very deep meaning that i'm sure alot of people will relate with (especially writers). The line 'replacing death with death' is only to note on how people can often confuse or convince themselves that they're different when they're just the same. I chose the word 'death' due to the fact the chatroom is 'goth' based.

The fourth verse bleeds reality into the poem. The late night chatter turning off the computer as the sun comes up. You notice how it takes on a different tone and feel than the rest of the poem, this is ment to really bring the vision of letting go of the 'persona' of the chat world and getting back to real life.


Tell me what you think, and tell me what you see yourself! It's bout to have many meanings to many people, and I'd love to hear what you have to say!
