Actually I was looking up the legal definition earlier. Drawings and representations are **only** included whent hey intend to depict a real life minor.
Here is a quote from the USA department of justice:
"Visual depictions include photographs, videos, digital or computer generated images indistinguishable from an actual minor, and images created, adapted, or modified, but appear to depict an identifiable, actual minor. "

So yea, cartoons of ambiguous minors are not considered illegal. It must be a cartoon depicting an **actual** minor.

@mur2501 if you dont care about meter, grammer, sentance structure, etc, then it is poetry. These are the defining qualities of poetry. Strip those ideas from a wonderful poem and what you are left with is some form of beautiful or deep philosophy maybe, but not poetry.
It would be like someone speaking the lyrics to a wonderful song in monotone fashion. It strips it of being a song even if the lyrics are beautiful in their own right.
@mur2501 Is english even your first language? I dont think its fair if not.
I think there is a lot of poetic potential here. It is mostly missing meter and a bit of what makes poetry poetry. But the idea for a poem is certainly there.
@mur2501 I suspect thats the only true test for good poetry... time
@mur2501 I think everyone thinks their poetry sucks, even when its good... I find as time goes on and I look back that my poetry is far more appealing than when I first wrote it.
So here we do stand with our flaws to be seen;
the trust in each other does wash it all clean.
My love for myself is my love for you too,
for your love is my love, we both can imbue.
See!
I need naught from you, for its part of myself,
and to give from that part only strengthens ourself.
While I have not met any muses since her (though i had one or two prior) I always found the same. My poetry comes out and is only as good as the muse for whom I write.
I really need to get back to writing poetry... I was getting half good when I last left off (started pretty bad though).
@wordsmith It was in reference to my girlfriend at the time who is now an Ex but also my best friend, we are very close.
I had always and still do associate her with the energy of the moon, and the symbolism is in several poems I wrote inspired by her at the time.
Thanks for enjoying and sharing.
But her [the moon's] radiance grew,
and the stars themselves did envy her.
Yet she gave of herself freely,
turning envy to love.
So that they did dance,
the stars with the moon,
happily overhead,
for all to see.
I wrote this poe about a Mage's tavern years ago.
It was inspired by a dream I had, and as an occultist all the imagery had significant meaning to me.
In the end, for me at least, this is a very real place in some far off place you cant reach by any road or path.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried, I've had my fill, my share of loosing. And now, as tears subside I find it all so amusing. To think I did all that, and may I say, not in a shy way.
For what is a man, what has he got, if not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels, and not the words of one who kneels.
