Failed Sestina
"Failure???" by Mike (me) 1/30
What is failure? Who failed? How did you fail? Where did you fail? Why did you fail? Failure is not an option.
Who determines failure? What did you do to fail? Where was your alternative? How could this been avoided? Why didn't you do something? Failure seems to cloud over you.
What to do now? Who to go to? Where are your fellow failures? How come they are not here? Why are they not relishing with you? Failure can make you feel alone.
How do you feel? What can I do? Who can help you? Where are you going? Why aren't you staying? Failure shows you yourself.
Why are you quiting? How come you don't recover yourself? What do you have to lose? Where is your dignity? Who will restore that? Failure is never the end but the beginning.
Why do I write this you ask? Who will? How will you change? What will you do? Where is your future? Failure is not failure, but an opportunity

Effort Villanelle
"Effort" by Mike (me) 2/6
I tried I did my best I want to cry
My heart is about to die I took a true test Yet I want to cry
This is no lie At least now I can rest Still I want to cry
Can I have another try? I'm becoming obsessed Now may I cry
My heart feels dry Can it be addressed? I'm about to cry
Look into my eye I'm in my nest Tears flowing as I cry
Now as I sigh I no longer fret It seems as though my effort is a lie But I realize that my effort was my best try

Failure and Effort
I heard like Edison failed to make the light bulb nearly 10,000 times and is suppose to have said of the other 9,999 they were not failures but things he had eliminated from what he could try--obviously my pararphrase.
4/5

I’M SORRY JULIE by UC Poika
They came in the night Demons out of the darkness And in my fear I sent half to you Not really believing They were real But part of my madness.
Your brother stopped by And gave me the news. He said you blew Your heart away With a shotgun blast, Hoping to escape The demons that bothered you. Now even when the sun shines And Sanity shows herself To me it is sadness For I have with my madness Murdered my friend With her own hand.
Is it not fitting That I am at all times A little sad. I am so sorry, Julie, But must live with it For even in death There is no escaping The things I have done.

UNTITLED BREAKUP POEM by UC Poika
I try to picture you as ring-tones sound awakened to my presence in your life as memories unfold within your mind on screens but cringe to think of some of the scenes that play and I try to picture you listening to me now as you check your voice mail for any sign as if to change from stormy to open seas in hopes that as with the sun my victory’s lade then walking away with mostly cloudy thoughts I search the past for what it was which was worse and the many things I saw as loving, were not as loving as once I’d thought they were at first, but I’ll always need you when my hearts or hearts finds feminine nuances where a new love would start.

Does anybody mind if i post more? I feel funny like I might be taking over or something
TO LOVE A FRIEND
your berries are so... ripe! how do I wait to taste your juicy fruit in jelly or in jam as if to toast my blessed fortune and fate? for we have never been precisely damned but I’m like some sled dog racing behind a b***h in heat for though I run with skill I still lack the chance to catch my love and only wished we could be together, you and me, in fact, as well as in fantasy a couple paired and not just a queen of hearts with an ace of the same unable to even bet the cards we share even when my dreams are filled with you and your name’s sound’s drowning out my pain as if I really did feel your touch but my heart is broken anew my friend for real...
NOTE: if you break it down it's 14 lines rhyming in a definite pattern. A sonnet so to speak?

a poem...by me that does not yet have a name
The rain poors down like tears , From the angels above crying I can hear it in my ears It's almost worse then dying Theese are my greatest fears, I guess im just tired of trying
As you take my soul, My heart is cold, My chest starts to slow, I dont even know If I want to take this road, I just lay there and stare, I stare into the air,
As I look above into the sky, I know It's not a joke, I know It's not a lie, Though,I can't wonder why It's because I wasn't shy
I already made my choice, That's why I'm here I just got tired of you voice, and now your far from near.
