Hello, i have made this page for aspiring (or accomplished, if there are such things) abstract poets. You can define 'abstract' however you want, but as long as it is original, inventive and not about fantasy or razorblades (sorry), then submit what you want. Remember, it doesn't have to make sense. (Alternatively just look at the picture below).
So, juts use an example below, copy and paste then change it to fit your own work in.
If you have any suggestions for why this page is shit, then do say. I just want to see how it goes first. Okay, submit away.
Just thought id put this in, clarify some stuff maybe. It's according to Oxford Dictionary, just incase you were wondering.

"all for one and one for all"
call me a fool,
because I don't believe
their words at all,
"Is this gun loaded?"
"no, but
hold it to yourself and
fire it to see.
Prove that you trust me."

Tears fall from my eyes
As i let go of my painful cries
Thoughts ramble in my head
As I lie awake in bed
Misery takes over my heart
As I continue to fall apart
-[@87698]
My mind wanders in and out
in and out
of waking and sleeping
of seeing and dreaming
percieving and believing
seeking answers
seeking solace
seeking comfort
seeking something
sadness
alone
misery
confusion
in the end
accepting the idea
that i dont know
that i dont understand
that i am unhappy
that all of this
all of this
doesnt matter
because, in the end
life happens
whether i do or dont

The night the music died part 1
Those two colours remind me of
that special christmas feeling,
I stood, watching them,
transfixed on the oily swirls,
gliding across the glistening
mud,
trampled, over and over,
those feet still massage its surface
milling across the projection,
they turn their heads to
laugh at my smile,
the look of child like awe,
posessed, hypnotised and intoxicated,
the swirls, toxic looking themselves,
a trigger happy poison,
not smoked, injected,
snorted or injested,
absorbed,
through large, dark
and dliated eyes.
The trees leaned over,
comforting and parental,
dowsed in that toxic light,
alive and warm,
a peaceful nook in chaos,
their arms beckon me futher
into my fungal stupour,
there I was led away,
I held hands like that fascinated
child who cast its shadow not so long ago,
pulled into the cold and chaotic
current of the hysterical night,
it was a feaver,
no one could see it,
or Identify.
their wide,
dark and crazed eyes
glinting like rocks in the stream,
they welcomed me,
we all understood
that none of us did,
An epic,
living line,
swooping like a
streak of matt paint
across a glazed plate,
veering to an uncertian halt,
where elusive shadows,
celebrated their uncertain and
sinister cause.
There it was, there,
hit by nothing,
empty,
sad,
gone,
silent and dead,
thrown away,
I slipped back into the current,
again,
silent and dead,
an empty shell,
refracting empty light,
I felt it, this was,
the night the music died.
I'm not sure how abstract this is but what the hey. Its about taking mushrooms in glastonbury festival.
