I know this is not an original thread. And i know i dont have the best reputation for posting serious threads about anything. But i have a weakness. Im a sucker for a cleverly turned phrase. I love poetry. The recent influx of poem threads in fan fic has relit my passion for the subject but it is somewhat difficult to keep track of them all. Id love to see your works collected here where we can comment on them and compare ideas, share rhyme schemes, and maybe even compete some nights if we get bored. I hope fo see all manner of poems here from silly to depressing.
Amy on the brain Distant horizons oceans apart, Flashing a smile light in my heart, Standing in place lost in the blue, Lost in the sky, and thinking of you. Dreaming away when nights get too long, Singing my way through symphony's song, Finding what's real, finding what's true, Finding myself and thinking of you. Hearing the tinkle of cascading rain, Discovering passions i cant restrain, Out on the parkway in mountainous view Watching the distance and thinking of you. Oceans waves awash in the spray, At the dawn and the dusk and the dark of the day, Drawn to your eyes, engrossed by the hue, Always, forever thinking of you.
This is my first poem of sunshine my last three are about love and this is about Sunshine,lakes,ponds,rivers,mice,what hurts the most,life,home,boyfriends,cat,walrus,tree, and death Sunshine Collection Sunshine Lake I cant believe the sunshine is gone, The lake, The ponds, Rivers, And Mice Are gone, What shall i do ? What hurts the most Was being so close, And having so much to say, And watching you walk away, And never knowing what couldve been, And not seeing that loving you is what i was trying to do I cant believe my life, My home, My cat, My walrus, My boyfriend, And my tree are gone , But my death is still there
Wow firefur! That was so cool! And distance, you managed to rhyme AND have a perfect rhythm going! Amazing! I will post a poem or two as well, just give me a sec!
Thx lady! I look forward to seeing some more of ur poems. Lady-marian ran the best poetry thread in kaw's history a while back. I couldnt find it.
Lady-marian has agrees to run competitions on this thread. I give all ownership rights to her during competitions. If you want to set up a challenge contact her and we will have some fun! Thx lady!
I will post the rule in a little while. I also looked for my poetry wars thread about a month ago and couldn't find it. Bummer.
Poetry wars rules: I made a thread a while back called the poetry wars. It went pretty well, but I soon found out all of the rules I had were pretty unnecessary. So here's how it will work: • First, you and another person need to be on at the same time. • Then you need to choose a topic and a time limit. Note: Topics can be anything: Frogs, muffins, death, love... ANYTHING! Another note: Time limits should not be shorter than five minutes, or longer than an hour. • You and your opponent will write up a poem about the subject you agreed on. You must finish your poem within the decided time limit. Note: If you don't finish your poem within the time limit, you're disqualified, and your opponent wins. • You will both post your poems on the thread. When they are both there, other people may read them and offer suggestions. They may also choose which one they like the best. The person that gets the most "likes" wins. • If no one is on, and/or no one chooses to like either poem, either wait, or choose to not care. Just write your poetry for the sake of writing it. Have fun with the competitions. Hmm... That's about it. Make your own rules up it you want. OH YEAH!!! Threesomes and foursomes and fivesomes and etc. are expectable! The more, the merrier!
I don't like the third one. Belonging one: Independent from the start, Born away, born apart. I walk the path of the unique, But to belong is what I seek. All but me shall dance a song, Swaying to the beating gong. Separately, I dance away, Choosing to twirl, instead of sway. When everyone's heart is all alone, Only then will my soul belong. Belonging two: I think I knew it all along, That everyone had their own little song, But then again, what if I'm wrong? What if only I do not belong? What will happen to my little song? Belonging three: The sparrows will sing, The bells will ring, But only I know what time will bring. You can cry, You can sigh, But know that you are always mine. Soon short days will be long, Soon what's right will be wrong, Soon, my child, you will belong.
I liked all three lady. The second verse of the third one throws off the flow a bit but thats an easy fix with a little syllable addition or two.
This is the first poam I've ever written so here goes. It's called happiness: some say happiness is nought but a dream Some say it holds up their lives like a beam what is this thing only some seem to know Is it important or is it or show
Heartless The small and meek, the big and tall They mock all Of when I fall. But I don't laugh When someone dies Instead I cry, Instead they try. Standing out alone, They sit their and moan, And in turn make a mess, And now they're called heartless.
Bypass to the manifest destiny Level the world with your unhalting gaze. Vanquish the walls of the psychotic maze. I envied you once for your infinite power. As time passes by my envy turns sour. You're striding along by unhindered diversion Brush them aside you succeed by aversion Destiny shreiks beyond unchosen paths. You claim them and toss them aside in your wrath. Look down and around at the others. They're dying. You by compare are most certainly flying. You're a titan, a giant, beyond you're surpassing. Ignoring your goals, your fates are amassing. Through time, passing life the end is implied. Thoughts of your death are of course tossed aside. Truth, like a shockwave explodes; becomes nearer. As i see you, myself looking back from the mirror.
Image Look in the mirror, What do you see? Calm, anguish or uncertainty? What I see, is what you ask. I will tell you of my horrid past. Left alone at a young age, I thrived on attention, little or much. When I walked into a school, I changed myself to fit in with the cool. I got my attention, my praise and followers. But it was my death. Like a flower in winter, I wilted away. One wrong decision changed my ways. So what is it that I see you ask? I no longer see my face. Not MY face, a face of youth. Only a face that was not to be mine.
Your heart; it speaks Speaks so smoothly; yet there's something behind An innocent evil; it lurks behind It lurks your heart; changes your mind You can feel it; it's a dagger in your side. It runs deeper; It won't be long It is your end; your innocent end Can we stop it? No, hope is gone The winds have tried The thoughts of men too They both failed, we are doomed Doomed for hurt; our image shattered Cast off the image; shed the pain Be who you are; light may come in For now; darkness will reign; greed will be king You will suffer; dead and deep Your decency spent; your will dissolved You will fall; I will watch The salt will run; down my cheeks They will not save you; only my peace of mind Death has won; deceit is here We have lost; We are gone
