This is where you post your poetry!


So, to get this thread started, I'll add a poem from FOREVER AGO. I spent an hour trying to find my old poetry book. I wanted to get a poem that no one had read, so it won't be in the anthology, from last year's or this one (YWW members say "Huzzah!"). Enjoy!


Reunite

A baby cries.
"Daddy's here.
Daddy loves you.
I'll see you again.

"I promise."
Promises are meant to be broken
and placed in a basket
floating on the river

held by the drift
animals move rocky currents
a fox on the hunt
kits will eat well

A father cries by the river bed.
"I promise. I promise."



Please excuse the emo.

Your poem made me cryyyy!
That's not fair.
I really, did, though.
I'm such a Drama Queen.
WHY DID THE BABY HAVE TO GET EATEN??
WHY?
I'll post my poem, okay?


The Roots of My Past
Cuban?
Yes I am.
Every tan inch of me.

Even the curl of my tongue
as I speak my language
The kisses I give
On the cheeks of strangers.

I come from
a dollar worth of clothes
And shoes worth nothing

Where everything's cheap
and still too much
Where your alarm clock
is the neighbor's rooster.

I come from those
many feilds of dry grass
where there's not even enough water
for you to drink, much less bath.

But, still, people party through poverty,
where I'm from,
and not even knowing your life is at an end
do they stop that smile of theirs.

I come from Cuba.
Proud?
Yes.

Sorry! D:
Don't cry!
I tend to kill off my characters.
It's a bad habit of mine.
I love your poem, by the way. <3
I like the very last stanza.

Now. Thank you for the <3 you gave on my poem.
You really did break my heart, though.
Such an evil, cold, cold heart.

PROMISE.

well...
if you do some type of Romeo-Juliet or Hamlet-Ophelia story, I won't get mad.
okay?
okay.

I tried doing a haiku.
I've been wanting to write a poem on this subject for a while.
The poem is here.
