I have this poetry project due on Friday and felt like sharing some of the poems I have written (all free-verse) for y'all to judge. If you feel that I should choose a specific poem (it has to be at least 8 lines though...) to turn in to my teacher from the following, please leave a comment and it will be greatly appreciated ^^
The Problem With Siblings
The problem with siblings
Is that
One moment they are sugar
And the next they are
Sour milk.
Change
Some say and pray
That they will make a good change
In the world
But the truth is
If you have ever
Smiled at,
Helped,
Or loved
Somebody,
You HAVE made a good change.
Empty The Buckets
If for every pain a tear was shed,
Then most would fill some buckets.
But if for every tear a hand helps dry,
then the buckets will be empty.
If for every bucket empty, a person gave a smile
Then there will be no tears,
No pains,
Nothing but simply empty buckets
And light.
Past and Present
Sometimes when one recalls the past
And wish for their innocent
Childhood
Where every day was summer
And every night tranquil
Before your heart had been
Broken,
Crushed,
Scarred,
When the only pain you felt
Was falling down and
Skinning a knee,
When your pillow was always
Dry.
But life has to continue
And the innocent days don't last
Forever.
A Chip on the Wall
A chip on the wall
Flaking, peeling off,
Has seen better days
Back when
it was a fresh coat
Of paint,
New and smooth and vibrant
in color,
When it was a fresh coat
Of paint.
But now that chip on the wall
Can do nothing
But hold on.
Don't Promise "Forever"
Don't every promise "Forever"
Because nothing lasts Forever
And though "forever" may last some time,
Nothing ever
Lasts
Forever.
The Fallen Skyscraper
Trust is like a building,
You build the supports,
And the floors,
And the walls,
To harbor the people inside
Who trust it not to fall.
You build and build,
Sometimes small structures
But sometimes
Skyscrapers
But when something happens
Like perhaps,
A storm knocks the
Building
Down,
Or if you shoot missiles,
Accidentally,
At the foundation,
The whole structure
Collapses
And the survivors no longer
Trust
Enough for you to build
Another.
A Puddle
If I was a puddle
I would wish to be splashed
In
And jumped into
And soak
The toddlers
With the rosy cheeks
With raindrops
And hear their
Laughter.
If only I was a puddle.
A Simple Question
Who are you?
You hide behind that smile
Showing nothing but
Innocence
But I can see that there is more
Underneath
That quiet voice
That shy gaze
That
Smile
You laugh and hide
What you truly feel
Who you truly are
All those painful secrets hidden
Inside,
Locked up in a metal safe.
Who are you?
Wishing
If I could wish one wish
I'd wish to read your mind
Because the way you act
Confuses me
And the things you say
Are vague.
All I want to know
Is, honestly,
How do you feel about me?
We Used to Be
We used to be
Like cookie and cream
Always together.
We used to be
Like brother and sister
Always understanding
Eachother.
We used to be
You and me
The perfect recipe.
You used to be
My little sunshine
But, it appears,
No longer.
Ocean and Seas
If the world was an ocean
And I was lost at sea
Would you bother
Saving me?
Yes, the world is an ocean
Of lies
Pains, and
Hatred.
And here I am,
Drowning in this sea,
With no one to bother
Saving me.
Firefly
If I were a lost firefly
Flitting in the darkness of
Night,
Will you be my lamp
And lead me with your
Light?
The Poisonous Apple
Snow White ate the apple
And was saved by
The prince.
When I took a
Bite,
I was simply
Buried
and was assumed
Dead.
Rewind
Every night, I rewind
The past in my head
And realize the things
We could have been.
But the past is the past
And "forever" never lasts
So I guess that's the
End
Of that.
Untitled
Glue can fix broken objects,
Tape can fix torn pages,
But no amount of tape
or glue
or nails
or stitches
Can fix a fallen
Friendship.
-----------------------------------------------
Look at me
And tell me
The truth
And nothing
But the
Truth
about the poems ^^ I'm surprised you are still awake after reading so much of boringness blaugh
Well I guess this gives you a bigger (or maybe smaller) view of who I am? emo
