I LOLed. In an emo kind of way, of course.
HOW TO WRITE AN EMO POEM: ABRIDGED VERSION.
For those who want to write a real, emo poem but just can't seem to find the time.
1. Pick a title.
Generally a few key words should be emphasized. For example, chronology seems to be important to emo people; days of the week, months of the year, and seasons are excellent choices for emo titles. It is also useful to use verbs in the present progressive tense, excluding any subject-specific words. Some excellent examples are:
Killing Tuesday
Spooning October
Sordid Autumn Winds
Some poor choices for the title are:
Jumped Summer (verb is in past tense)
Are Enjoying April (verb does not exclude subject-specific words, and besides, you're writing an emo poem. You don't want people to know you enjoyed anything.)
Next Friday (you might get confused with the movie starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker, leading to the risk of being considered not emo)
2. Write some stuff.
It doesn't really matter what you write about, so long as it comes from your heart. You can write about anything in your poems and don't need to single it out from other poems. Here are some suggestions you could write about.
How your home, school, and love life are doing.
Write about your favorite bands, artist, etc.
Or take another poem and look for insperation from there.
3. Get it published or at least try to get it published.
Tips
Death (hell, float, murder, loss)
Loneliness (darkness, vast, corner, swallow)
Emo (corner, scream, unholiness, you could use a line from an emo song, cutting or any self-injury[only in the poem - don't cut yourself]).
Dark love (lips, dance, poison kisses,)
Note: When using a line from an emo song, be sure to change it around a bit. Mix up the words or add in some of your own so that it doesn't sound like the band that created that line.
Writing poetry is an excellent way to release anger and frustration.
Put your heart into the poem; its seriously helps.
Dont think that your words mean nothing. Poetry is one way people see how you feel!
