?poetry?

[Angel_Star]

I love poetry. I'm not going to pretend I can actually write it, though.

The night sky is sparkling,
with the light of the stars.
The moon is lending us her light.
The beutiful sight
brings tears to my eyes.
After all we've been through,
after all the sorrows,
still the sky watches over us.

The sun is returning to us,
The dawn is approaching.
The birds sing good morning.
This wondrous beauty
gives me hope for the future.
After all the pain,
after all the tears,
still the sky watches over us.

I just thought that one up, cause the poems i've written before look ever worse than I thought.

:hums happily: Have been writing rather a lot of poetry, and thought I'd post a pontoum. Strictly speaking, it isn't a real pontoum because it doesn't rhyme, but oh well...

Can you hear the wind at night?
It has black eyes, and white teeth,
And long dark ears,
And white claws that pull at windows.

It has blak eyes, and white teeth,
And it howls to the lantern moon,
White claws that pull at windows
Find a hold there so white teeth can bite.

Howling to the lantern moon
It whirls up into the white stars black sky
Catching ahold there so white teeth can bite
Tugging clouds to muffle the stars.

It whirls up into the white stars black sky
Black ears folded back against its black head
Tugging clouds to muffle the stars
And, sometimes, the moon.

Black ears folded back against its black head,
Narrowed black eyes reflecting black sky--
And, sometimes, the yellow moon
And white stars--and some invisible red.

Narrowed black eyes reflecting black sky--
Dark voice growling shadows
And white stars--and some unspoke red--
Can you hear the wind at night?

At first the wind at night sounded like a mutated wolf-bunny. (I've had bad experiences with bunnies they bite HARD.)

I like all your guys' poems. I write stupid poems, but usually they mean something to somebody. Like my poem about how neopets takes over people's minds. Or where does are garbage really go poem, it's about pollution in the ocean. Yeah I have really weird poems.

[Angel_Star]

Ooo. I just thought of this one. It's like some sort of prophecy or something... It's a bit odd, but so am I.

<span class="ev_code_PURPLE">Evil deeds, ye have none,
yet ye shall bare an evil son.
Bringer of the sword, he is the one,
to bring on disaster that is to come.

Wearer of a mask, he shall be,
until the day his identity
shall be revealed for all eternity.
Though only one shall face him in enmity.

She is the Peacemaker,
the Hate Taker.
She shall come to undo
what will be done.

Hope and despair shall come,
until the battle will be won.
Uncertainty shall reign,
but she shall be his bane.</span>

yay! poetry! i like haikus (i don't know if that is how you spell it, but oh well!) so here is a quick one i made up:

Trust a new flower
To bring what was not believed
To live in this life

ok, that one wasn't as good, i'll see if i can think of something better later. this is a poem i wrote for school a couple years ago, but i still like it

Season's Song
Winter comes and cold winds blow,
From the gutters, icicles grow,
New stars appear up in the sky;
Turn around,
And see autumn die.

Old Man Winter is turning lean,
Springtime brings a new shade of green,
New stars appear up in the sky;
Turn around,
And see winter die.

Summer carries a basket of light,
That shines all day and late into night,
New stars appear up in the sky;
Turn around,
And see springtime die.

Autumn comes with a harvest air,
Fresh new crops and food to share,
New stars appear up in the sky;
Turn around,
And see summer die.

Winter reveals itself anew,
With it comes a new year too,
Four seasons forever in rhyme;
Turn around,
A circle in Time.

it's a little wordy but it sounded good when i wrote it. ok, that is all i have for now. i'll try and make up some more new ones to post.

yay! poetry is fun!

I liked that one Tel

10 Years

10 years
of growing
and thriving
and fighting to survive
as snow blankets every blade of grass
and she is stripped bare
of her golden robes
until winter ends
and she is dressed in emerald
year after year
her waist becomes larger
she grows
closer to the stars
her arms thrown open
to greet the sky
she breathes in every sunset
and sings the song of the forest
she is alive

10 years
brought to an end
by a single sharp hack
and, though still majestic
she falls to the ground
defeated

If you don't quite understand it don't be afraid to ask me. I was surprised because when I read the poem to some of my RL friends, they didn't get it. *hops off to write more poetry*

[Zgirl]

A TREE! (if it's a flower I made a bad guess but it seems like a tree.) That's pretty VC.

Here's my poem.
POOT

stay away
leave me alone
no more one liners
yay!
poot is away!
wait.
he's here.
*cries*


*lol!*

[Telaldalin]

lol. i like your poot poem Z!

here is a poem about the chat:

here i sit alone in chat.
obviously, where no one's at.
the time slowly passes by
with no one coming to say 'hi'.
little graemlins in a row,
sit without a place to go.
looking at the head of green.
no other chatters to be seen.
the exact time i have to run,
a chat party has just begun.

i don't know if this happens to anyone else, but it seems to happen to me a lot.
a quick haiku before i end my post:

the swaying leaves fall
dancing slowly to the ground
patterns of the trees

bet no one can guess where i got my inspiration for that!

[Zgirl]

That Chat poem ROCKS! It's so true. Very good job telaldalin. 2 thumbs up. *goes to chat.*

[Telaldalin]

thanks Zgirl! right now i'm almost tempted to write another chat poem cause, once again, i sit alone in chat. i think i will, here it is:

type your name,
type your code,
wait for everything to load.
see the posts,
all brand new,
go to chat- it's only you.
wait around,
time runs by,
all alone and don't know why.
you have to run,
you have to go,
but no one else will ever know.

And i will end with that because it's time for me to go to bed! talk to you all later!

[Zgirl]

That one's really cool too! I like that one! *points* Yayness. Poems are so fun!

[Agent M]

heya guys!!! I found out about this at school, there's a contest for writers and artists in the US and Canada (I think) for students in grades 7-12, the website's www.artandwriting.org
check it out! It sounds kinda fun, and you can win scholarship money etc

[Zgirl]

M- I don't think they're gonna accept a bunch of poems about chat! *lol*

[vegan_chick]

Yeah Z, it's about a tree! It takes about ten years or more to grow a tree, and like, ten seconds to cut it down. Doesn't make sense to me.

I don't know why, but lately I feel inspired.

"Come with us"

She looked off into the sunrise
breathing in
Summer's warm morning air
And she heard them

Calling to her

"Come With Us"
to where she wondered

To were the Sun meets the Earth

She looked once more far
off into the sunrise

how would I get there?

and the wind
came to her, she was
carried to where
The Earth and the Heavens
took hands and danced

"Fly"
She wanted to fly
Held back
strings opressed her
every move of hers
controlled
a caged bird

Her vain longing
brought tears falling
from eyes looking up
to the ground she couldn't
seem to leave

Asking her strings
to let her go
let her fly

the strings that kept her down
held her up
not, though, as high
as the birds in the clouds
she broke her strings
spread her wings and

flew


This one isn't titled yet, but if you have one...

They danced
as did
the flames
holding up their prize

victory

excitement grew
and the fire reached it's peak
burning into their hungry eyes

what fools

the fire died and
they walked away
into the night
their eyes empty
taking their apetite
elsewhere

"Sundancer"
Creep when the
clouds hang.
Blow them into
The sky

dance

Until every star gathers
to see
such a spectacle
every star
dances together

Bring daylight;
dance on

they are kinda weird and different from things that I have written.

M, that contest sounds cool, I'm going to show it to my old social studies teacher who likes my poetry and see what she thinks.

sure they will accept poems about chat! Ack! Poot NOOO!!!

[Agent M]

"Ack! Poot NOOO!!!" Why say that? That was a long post...
And whaddya mean they're not gonna accept a bunch of poems about chat?
