Place Your Poetry Here!

[Dragon Writer]

It's very good...here's one i wrote for english, though it was actually inspired by a girl...I refuse to say who...
Shall i compair you to an angel?
no, for none cuold compair...
what with your warm eyes, contested not vy even the fairest of the fair...
and your hair, so beautiful it would make even the most harened of men stare...and your beauty...oh, it is a thing so rare...
shall i compair you to an angel?
no...for none could compair,
to the girl who can make even me, dare to stare...

I know it's a bit rhymy...if that's a word...but it wasn't really a planned thing...i got hit with it in the store...BUt yeah, a lot of my poems are like that, even though the best ones often are sonnets and such...Still, even a poem like this seems to make my honors class go "Woa...you're...you're...brilliant!" so overall i'm pleased with it...

[Not So Silent One]

I wrote this for school, but I think its pretty good.

Lone Knight

I am a Knight, I am, I am
I am a protector
I am a leader, a fighter
Never am I to follow another

So now we march into battle
To defeat the enemy
So I take the head of the pack
And I must now lead my family

I will lead them with a war cry
A strong howl in the night
Loyally they shall follow my path
They follow because I am the light

As we run, we chant the oldest song
One of fear, and one of pride
For today the ever hunt begins
To fight the endless hunger

Our charge will now end, I do fear,
For now, I see our enemy
It is one of power, and death
A one of hunger, and no mind

Our weapons are ready
My sword is now unsheathed
The white ivory, deadly poison
For it is my most trusted wield

We hide under the shadows
Eager for a good fight
Long we wait for the right moment
We wait because we have all time

Now is the time to lead the pack
We will defeat our loss
Sword and Shield, Tooth and Flesh
Now is the everlasting clash

My soldiers are slowly falling
The enemy will win
For we are weak, and It is strong
And now I must win on my own

I am all alone, no one to lead
There is no one to follow
I am the only life this night
I won the battle, though lost the war

Now I am just a dimmed light-
In a world of darkness
Though of what should I now be afraid
On this ever cold snowy night

I have won, the hunger has lost
The enemy is not here
The famine has ended, I live
Maybe I was not to lead, but follow

Here I am a Lone Knight
The sole life, light, and shadow
On my own, no one here to aid
Now a Lone Wolf am I, am I

I don't know what was running through my head, but this came out...

Blood stain

Blood stains my hands
It pours out over the floor
I watch it
It seems to have a life of its own
The blood is hot, it burns me
The blood rushes up my arm,
It gets into my sleeve
The sticky hot wetness clings to me
The shirt goes stiff with the blood
It gets in my hair
Clotting, thickening
It makes my hair rusty red
The wet, thick, clotting blood
The blood washes away with water,
But I can still feel it burning me
I still feel it flow over my hand
Clotted, thick, and lumpy.
To watch that blood flow is
To watch death die

Another Emo poem... I doubt I'll show my friend who claimed Wishing Well was emo....

The Pain

[Gatemage Stardragon]

My personal favorites, Light for the imagery, White stones, on the other hand, is a poem that tells about what my mother left behind for her family, not possesions, just some stones, the stones are the dearest things we have now.

LightWhite Stones

[Dragon Writer]

Life is more then just a hand of cards, yours to fold.
it's a lump of clay,
ours to mold,
so what if life gives you lemons?
make lemonade...
and if you remember the sugure,
well you have it made,
so stand up tall,
and don't let yourself fall....
cause life is a lump of clay,
and those cards in your hand?
they're just another part of this game we all play.

[Olivia]

Ok, this is probably one of the most important poems that I've ever written. Most of (Well pretty much all of) the poems I've ever written are in the point of view of someone else. This one is actually about me. Well, not me, one of my friends. She gets bullied, and I wrote this in honor of her.

I Wanted You To Know
I know how they affect you
Though you won't say it aloud
I know your smile is all you've got
Though I see your hidden frown

Don't keep it bottled up inside,
Soon it will overflow
Talk to me, please trust me
Hold on when they say, "Let go"

You are a wonderful person
I see you shining from within
Be strong for a bit longer
I know that you can win

Don't keep it bottled up inside
Soon it will overflow
Talk to me, please trust me
Stand tall when you're feeling low

I will forever be your friend
No matter what they do
I will put you back together
When their words rip you in two

Don't keep it bottled up inside
Soon it will overflow
Talk to me, please trust me
I just wanted you to know...

wow all of those are great.. like totaly great!!! ok so some of these are really depressing and some of these are really chease love poems. i let some of the kids in my class read the depressing ones and now they think im crazy but they are so that works


MY EYES

When I close my eyes,
I see you and me,
Walking slowly,
Hand and hand,
But I know that will never be.

I see us talking,
Flirting,
Laughing,
Kissing in the rain.

If I could I would leave my eyes closed,
Be blind,
In a world of hate.

Because if I open my eyes,
I see you,
And her.

So please,
Please,
Can I keep my eyes closed?



PAIN

The pain in my stomach,
Is like a needle to your throught.
This, you said is what you want,
So im giving it to you,
At all costs.


UGLY

I stare at the mirror again,
Looking at this,
Me,
Now I understand why you said it cant be.

I understand, so I will change,
As I take a razor to my wrist,
Your name, now in my wrist,

For me to stair at,
But the razor keeps on piercing,

My blood im loosing,
So now, as I die,
I hope im pretty enough for you.


HER

She smiled,
Said yes,
He smiled to,
They were together,
At last.


LOVE

He smiled an evil smile,
Pinned her to the ground,
Then kissed her.

She knew it was coming,
Her hands in his soft brown hair,
Feeling his slow heart beat.



NATURE

The water fell onto the cliffs,
As if it was being pulled,
by the lake beneath.

The leaf drifted to the ground,
Like a feather to a bed,
This is what it was meant to do.

But yet all the fishes in the sea,
Just move,
Like love should do.



CHEZIE LOVE POEM

The rain began to pour,
As he stood at her door,
Heart beating faster,
With every second.

The door opened wide,
She invited him inside,
On this cold and gray day.

Well, no park today, he said as they lay,
On the couch all alone.

Looking outside,
They saw the world come alive.

They ran outside,
Left the door open wide,
And began to play in the soft white snow.

Snow angels,
Snow men and women of every kind,
But the best was the snow fight,
That ended in the most light,
Kiss

I have new poems!
-young
reader, writer, friend, not foe, kind to all, it is my woe...
Brother of none, sister of zero,
lover of life, the jooys of the world, and all good books, yet to be found,
who feels saddness, at least twice a day, feels alone, like he has no say...and above all else, feals loyal, to family, and friends and those who toil...
who needs family....wh needs friendS? who needs love, i ask..the answer is me...
who fears the pain of a lost best friend, and avoids his mother to the end, and darkness, where you have no friends...
who'd like to see his stories written, his creativity out, and not at all hidden...people walking, not at all ridden...
who lives in a small appartment, on a blvd...
-reader

A part of me is red,
full of passion and intesity...
rorever writing, forever moving,
never standing still...
yet i am also yellow...
forever happy, forever fun,
forever shining, like the sun...
we are all rainbows of emotinos...
this is just mine.

The poem my friend dubbed my "emo poem"
Wishing well

The Other Side Of Good-ByeLifeNever Look Back

[agfish92]

olivia those were totaly great!!!

yes its deppresing but yea

sighing she puts a knife to her trhought,
she trys again,
she knows she shouldent,
but yet she trys.

she thinks her life sucks,
but anyone would rather have her life,
anyone at all,
but she doesent seem to know.

she doesent understand everyone loves her,
doesent understand that she is loved,
so she inches the knife closer,
closer,
then drawing blood.

her life is over just like that,
her parents find her on the ground,
her whole school attended the funeralm
but yet she would never understand that everyone loved her,
she will never know.


People should be complemented often. tell them the truth. beacuse some people just cant tell.

[Cress]

Wow Olivia. I have to say your first one was really really really good. You got into the persona so well. I think you do really well with rhyming poems (i'm horribly, jealous I can't rhyme at all).
The second one was kind of scary, but I liked it.

[Olivia]

Something about my poetry... I seem to write better poems when they aren't about me. I would love more constructive criticism, please!

Dear Daddy
Hello Daddy, I'm five years old now
Big Brother just turned seven
Mommy cries a lot less now
And smiles, 'cause you're in heaven

"Bring You Dad To School Day"
Was Friday- it was so unfair
It wasn't half as fun as it could be
'Cause you were the only one not there

I've learned to read and write now, Daddy
Your name is D-A-D-D-Y
I really wish you were here now, Daddy
Why'd you have to die?

Christmas wasn't fun this year
Santa Claus seemed sad
It rained instead of snowed this year
Even God felt bad

Is it pretty in heaven, Daddy?
Do you watch me every day?
Do you see how I smile less, Daddy?
And how I'm sadder when I play?

Yesterday at recess, Daddy
I won the class's big race
Are you ever coming back home, Daddy?
I leave my light on just in case

Just in case you come back at night
To kiss me and tuck me in
I would give up everything I have
Just to hear your voice again

Why can't you be here, Daddy?
Don't worry, I'm not blaming you
No wonder God took you back
But does he know we need you too?

I must say one more thing, Daddy
I love you more than the world
And even if you're in heaven, Daddy
I'll always be your little girl

My Bit of Power (Bully's POV)
I lash out with harsh words and blows
Watching the other kid squirm
I feel my control, my bit of power
Now it's actually my turn

At night, when I'm full of remorse
He comes home, booze on his breath
He's hurting Mommy, I beg him to stop
But he just grins and kicks me hard in the chest

I can't breathe, can't hardly think
I feel like I'm going to explode
When I get better, he's hurting the baby
And I pound his back, screaming, "Not her! Please, No!"

Mommy's gone now, I can't see her
But I don't make a sound
She's reached the phone, she's had enough
The police will take over now

They load him up, his eyes full of hate
But all he can do is glower
I smile and hug Mommy, we're all safe
I have my control, my bit of power

Last Goodbye
Her heart is breaking, she can't stop crying
She stares into his quiet face
In her pain, she can't bear to leave
But would rather be any other place

She searches his cold, dull eyes
The pain stabs her heart like a knife
This shouldn't have happened to him, her, them
This ruined her entire life

She watches the casket close, and says a silent prayer
A hurdle their love would never survive
Another innocent life is lost
'Cause some moron chose to drink and drive
