Since everyone seems to be writing poems of late I figured we might as well have an official poem thread so we don't have 50 threads of individual poems. If you don't have any poems you want to put up, then you can review or critique.
Amber (Time to say goodbye.)
From a rough-cut noose
Hangs memories perserved
With all hearts broken, this cannot mend.

If diamonds are so rare,
Why are so many
lacing her cheeks?

He has graced her,
With this crown of questions
Strategically placed to torture her mind.

Rhiannon comes in a flutter of wings
Carrying all the dreams
That will never come to pass

Trapped in Amber
Memories perserved to haunt a later date.
You can't breathe for him.

That's so sad. it's a good idea for a topic though, people are all over the place. I guess I've got something that'll work.

Mayda's Prayer
Led Away In Angel's Arms
Safe from Pain and Safe from Harm
Over the Earth I Love so Dear
With all my Loved ones Gathered Near.
I Send you Kisses and Send you Love
From this Heaven Up Above.
Now I'm Safe in God's embrace,
In a constant state of Grace.
I Didn't want to Leave you Down here without me,
But this is How God Feels that it Should be.
I sent you love and kisses, Watch overyou each Day,
And don't be Sad for me, This is my Glorious Day.
My body may be Far, but my heart is still quite near,
So have some fun and live life well until I meet you Here.


It's kinda religious....I wrote it for my friend when her friend passed away. She seemed to appreciate it...I didn't know what else I could do for her. So I made up that and named it Mayda's Prayer after the woman who died.


Edit: I'm putting a new one in here so I don't take up space, but this is thread is starting to depress me, so please don't mind this...

redbull
I’m sick of all these dreary days,
Sick of all their boring ways.
Sick of my sleepy, lifeless state.
Sick of my anger, sick of my hate!
I need energy, let me think…
I know, I’ll have a Red Bull drink!

Oh joy, oh bliss!
What the hell is this?
Pink balloons, champagne bubbles,
Goodbye fears and goodbye troubles.
Purple daisies, polka-dot roses,
Warn feeling from my head to my toeses.
Citrus, strawberry, soapy flavor,
Prompting such a blithe behavior.
Can’t sit still, I’ve got to run!
Ha, ha, ha, this stuff is fun!

Golden sparkles, silver clouds,
Glorious sun shining over the crowds.
Fireworks, fiz, all wonderful things!
Red Bull really gives you wings!
Stars and moons and heavens above!
Down with the hate, spread the love!

There’s a window, smash it with a brick!
There’s a fat guy, hit him with a stick!
This stuff makes me laugh and cry,
If this is heaven, can’t wait to die.
Down some more, come on, let’s go!
Kittens, puppies, sun, and snow.
Have some more, don’t get in a fit!
This Red Bull is darn good…whatsit?

Shooting stars, flaming debris,
Give over some more, no, to ME!
Candy raining from the sky,
Fields of sugar, my oh my!
What’s a brain, who needs to think?
Billowing clouds, a glorious pink!
Silky rainbow colored fluff…
Give me some more of that Red Bull stuff!

Wads of money, diamond rings.
Red Bull really gives you wings!
Coppery color, silky smooth.
Get going, come on and move!
Peaches, apples, oranges too.
Better than Coke or Mountain Dew,
Better than drugs, better than bed.
This Red Bull stuff takes over the head…
You want some too? It’s better than wine?
Well you can’t have it…it’s all MINE!

Feet! Feet! Feet!
Feel the beat!
Pulsing carbohydrate master,
Makes me feel good, makes me faster!
Treasure, jewels, riches galore!
Come on now, give me MORE!

Hee, hee, hee, Outrun them all!
Take a simple jump and fall,
Into a pool of teddy bears,
Take the risks and take the dares,
Shining lights, colorful scenes,
Berry reds, forest greens,
Beeps and buzzes, rattles and dings,
Red Bull really gives you wings!

Happy and free,
Look at me,
Wake up asleep and sleep awake,
To take is to add and to add is to take.
Power; energy coursing through my veins,
Who gives what it does, or what it contains?

Hyper, hyper, hyper, that’s what I be!
Who tried to kill her mom? Oops…that was me.
Twist an arm and bend a leg…
It’s okay, there’s Red Bull in the keg.
Over the edge of the glass it flows,
The coppery, carbonated liquid glows…
Uh oh, gone, I’d better bolt.
By the way…who’s up for jolt
Took me all of five very cold minutes. Sitting on a bench outside the library in 9th grade, waiting for Mom to come pick me up. No. I've never been high....illegally. No, I'd never had any red bull....I had my first sip the next day. It was pretty accurate. I don't care how bad it is, because I'm very proud of it. This is my child. this is just silly ramblings in case everyone who comes in here has a sad story behind his or her poem.

That's really good. whee
Some advice, when you're rhyming try and keep everything running smoothly. Yours has long sentances and then short ones and it throws off the rhyme scheme a bit.

Mine's for my best friend, (Amber) whose Dad commited suicide.

Oh yay! lol I did that on purpose. I play with flow. I couldn't do what I wanted, and that was to make it jolty in the beginning and get clear toward the endI like to break it in odd places and go in a different way.

That's sad. I'm bad at verbal stuff. I can't give concrit. I felt like crying, it made me feel kinda...lost. not like I lost the words, I felt a sense of not knowing. I can't explain, lol.

Abortion is not murder,
It's really homicide,
If you say you are pro-choice
We can't just step aside
Because you're saying you can kill it,
You say it's not alive
You take away the human right
For that person to survive
We don't care how it happened,
If you want, we'll help you cope
We'll take you to the adoption center
(And give the baby a new hope!)
Because you can dismiss our facts,
As just religious zeal,
Not everyone likes death
Soon the truth will be revealed!



I know it's a pointed poem, so should I take it out? other people have done it I guess, Rose_of_Tae had the idea here (Idea) but I sorta made my own...Their song angers me. so much.

Poetry time! Let's go with my two humour one's first.

Quote:
There were once two fools.
The first enjoyed writing.
He'd babble about nonsense.
Feeding the brains of others.
The other fool I pity.
For it is their mind being fed.
This fool read the writing.
That was the nonsense.
I am the first fool.


Quote:
Eat, drink, laugh
And be merry
For I am the jester
And wants are nary
I bring forth
Enjoyment in life
Pleasing your daughters
As I do your wife

And we'll finish off for today with my favourite poem by a broken heart.

Quote:
A million times
I could be told.
A million lies
You'd be so bold.
A million truths
I wouldn't trust.
A million loves
For you I'd lust.
A million deaths
Each in your name.
A million hearts
Are yours to tame

Oh Don! I heart your poetry. heart

Poems huh?

Try this one:

Baby goodbye~

Goodbye to her laugh,
goodbye to her dreams ,
goodbye to her smile,
baby goodbye to everything.

Goodbye to her sparkling eyes,
like that of her kin.
Goodbye to school and prom,
I can only wonder what type of lady you would have been.

Baby goodbye,
says a mother in a whisper.
baby goodbye,
she's sure going to miss her.


(For those of you who don't get it, it's a abortion poem. it's telling of the guilt and the hurt a mother might feel after reliezing what she has given up with her unborn child.)

crying that's sad. it's really good, I like the line with the eyes and the kin, it's so...like...I dunno, you'd think it's about a baby who's been born but then when you get to the explanation and it's like....hmm....that fetus is a baby....it's obvious in this guild what it is, but it's like, in other places. lol sorry, I make no sense, but I like it.
