Place Your Poetry Here!

[mythbusterfan]

As I sit and watch the moon,
Glowing in the sky,
I begin to wonder just how fast,
Life can pass you by,

And this darkness in the sky,
Causes me to wonder why,
We are here at all.

And the brightness of the day,
Can show you how to find the way,
Through the dark times of your life,
Times of suffering, of pain, of strife.

The road is long and hard to walk,
And all we ever hear is talk,
Of how hard it is follow,
How hard it is to walk,

As twilight dawns and darkness falls,
Once again we see it all,
The Moon and stars are in the sky,
Watching calmly as Life goes by,
As we watch and wonder why.
All of life just passes by.

That is so so good. I agree, Cress, that pure emotion, no matter how small can write the best poem. Also, I know how you feel Artemis, sometimes, I don't know what schools are thinking! And Angel, don't worry, people loved yours too!!

Ok, I don't think this poem is very good. Well I think it has the potential to be good if I polish it up and figure out if I want it to rhyme or not. Cause this right here...pure emotion. Personally I think that's the best poetry.
Three's A Charm

I held back
at first
and lost all that might be
I was afraid and confused
Now I'm just in pain
But once I realized who you were
I offered everything out to you
I held my heart and hoped that you would too
I hoped and prayed you would accept
Please, just simply say yes to me
And for a moment
You said you would
You took a piece
Like I knew you could
And inspected it
As if to keep
You decided the cost was far too much
And said "I just can't try"
And that tiny piece of my fragile heart
was crushed to dust that would never heal
And now I was afraid again
But hope rose still within me
Maybe...
Just
A
Mistake
So I held my breath and bared my soul
And held up my heart again
I thought this time
you might agree
Instead
Just a repeat
More powder of my breaking heart
Spilt across my shoes
But please,
Dear God,
Just let him say
"I love you, I love you too,"
Three's a charm
Three words
Three hopes
Three nights I coped
Three times I tried
Please just say yes this time
Slowly,
Hesitantly
I offer myself up
A smile upon my face
But deep below
my cringing soul
is frightened in barren waste

And this time not just a piece
You took me whole
My heart and mind and even sould
And snapped it all in a jagged two
One half remains to love you still
It cries and breaks when you walk by
Yet the other half could not survive
It shriveled up and slowly dies
Yes,
Three's a charm
Three words
Three hopes
Three nights I coped
Three times I tried
to let it work
But most of all
Three splits go through
my cracked and bleeding
Broken heart

College-Level Lecture Worksheet

My brain feels full to bursting
My head's gonna explode
I think I'm going crazy
Cramming info in every node

It's a college-level lecture
And a worksheet to boot
And I'm only in high school
And I couldn't give a hoot

But it's what I've got for homework
It's what I've gotta do
It's when I'm making stuff up
It's when I've got the 'tude

Brain is frying
Cells are dying
Someone is sayin'
"You're goin' insayyayayne"

It's a college-level lecture
For a high school kid
College-level headaches
For someone who did
Not enough prep and
Not enough work
Or maybe it's because
Whoever wrote this is a jerk...
And it's my homework...
He is a jerk...
My... home... work...

[Angel]

Wow, just...wow...you guys are amazing! =D Here is mine...I'm not sure what you lot will think of it, but it's not really inspired by or based on anything. It just came out of me =)

Ocean

It wasn't right,
What you did to me.
Who said I had to know?
Who said I have to see?
I sought this knowledge
Yes, it's true
I fought my battles
I made it through.

Yet still I find you haunting
Yet still I find you dreaming
Still I find that in the moonlight
You are softly gleaming.

Bound by chains
In an emerald isle
Wracked by your breathing,
Torn by your smile.
Did you ever mean to say it?
Did you ever mean to lie?
I cannot say a word to you,
For fear that I should cry.

Yet still you feel so haunting
Still I feel I'm dreaming
Still I find that in the twilight,
Everything is gleaming.

Your words have the power to mangle
Your eyes have the quality of dusk
I'd give up my sojourning
For one little piece of trust.
This is no game of checkers,
No sport of lose or win.
To fall apart in light, my heart,
I think, would be a sin.

The things that once were tender
The words, once oh-so-sweet,
Have not yet lost their timbre
Yet in darkness, they are fleet.
Hold me near, brush away my tear.
Know that with light,
My hope shall return.
If I do not freeze, my love,
Then know, my heart will burn.

wow, shandurai
cress i like yours too.



As the sun sets,
and darkness falls,
the silver moon,
emerges tall,
above the earth,
and lights the sky,
as i sit, i wonder why,

How can peple fear,
this light so pure,
silver and bright,
it lights up the night,
the sky is alive,
with stars alight,
and the silver moon,
burning bright...

First of all, I'd like to say that the poem above me is absolutely astounding. As are all the other ones!

This one goes out to my best friend:

Questions

How do you know what crosses the mind
of others not your own?
Are you the moon in disguise
sitting here before me,
never about to say?

And now I know you're my friend
as I look into your eyes of glass,
glass so green it might shatter
if gazed upon the wrong answer

How did you know there was brick behind the veil
and you never told me,
yet showed my by shattering yourself?

Is your soul as breakable, so vivid and flaming
as your eyes, so green about to turn yellow?
How do I know you are where you say
if you never do?
What about the reasons you always give me
holding back on the true?

How about the time
you jumped into the sky
so far away for all to see?

Do you know who you are yourself,
or does your soul decide it for you?

Your name, the moon, so welcome
in the purple starry sky.

You turn from green, to yellow
just like your eyes,
your eyes so green, so beautiful,
like the new rising of the full moon.

Fear of Night

[Dee]

I wrote this after seeing a seiries of several beautiful drawings of a fairy hanging suspended by a string inside a bottle.

Long Forgotten

A creaky step
A broken handrail
And a locked door.

A locked door
An unused attic
And a stuffy room.

A stuffy room
A cracked window
And a murky sunbeam.

A murky sunbeam
A messy floor
And a storage box.

A storage box
An old china doll
And a dusty bottle.

A dusty bottle
A thin string
And a hanging figure.

A hanging figure
A torn wing
And a small face.

A once-free fairy
Clap your hands
And let her go...

[MonkeyMum]

I wrote this poem a while ago. I thought of it when I passed my brother in the hall at school and we acted like we didn't know one another. I was kinda sorta sad. So here is the poem:

Can you see me now?

We pass each other in the hall,
Not caring what the other thinks,

We act like we don't know each other,
Hoping not to notice the other.

Trying not to think of each other,
We pass and don't say a thing.

It is as though we aren't even related,
It is as though we don't even know each other

And another poem, I wrote when I was angry because of something that happened (probably in chat)

Bottled Up Inside

I hide my emotions
I keep them bottled up in me
I have fits of fury
I lose control
I can't keep it inside of me
There is no telling when I will burst
You make me mad I burst
You offend me I burst
Too many ways to make me burst
I must try to keep calm
I CAN'T ANYMORE!!
I CAN'T DO IT!!
THIS ANGER IS JUST TOO MUCH!!
My anger will go away soon enough
Just let me go
Just drop what ever we were fighting about
Let me go
Don't try to calm me down
Just leave me
Let me be.

And the last poem that I wrote for TC when I yelled at him:

Sorry

I am sorry
For the trouble I have caused

I am sorry
For all your pain

I am sorry
That I wasn't meant to be

I am sorry
For everything that I did

I am sorry
That I did mean things

I am sorry
That I was mean when you were kind

I am sorry
For anything I may do

I am sorry
If I act like a mean person

I am sorry
For everything I do.

[mythbusterfan]

Just last night i wrote these. i'm not sure if it all fits into one coherant poem or not. but i'm gonna post them all together anyway.


On the ground,
A drop of dew
Reflects the sky
In its royal blue
And at night,
The sky alight,
With stars and moon,
Are reflected too,

Can it really be true?
That a drop of dew,
Can reflect the sky
Something so high
Be found so low
Down here, so small,
How can it be at all?

A world of dew,
Me and you,
Countless others,
All alike,
Different,
Can it be true?
Struggle, pain,
Happiness too,
All the same,
In a world of dew

Insanity Today

4/5/04

Insanity bottled up so that it's used carefully;
What we think of all that happens and what we'd like it to be
Sunday mornings when you wake up and look around
The sun is high and shedding light like feathers just when
You know that it's time to get up and 'face the music'.

But only one day at a time for today, today cuz
Tomorrow again we face forever and yesterday
But today it's only for today and for me because
I know that there's nothing else and so a weight
Lifts off of my shoulders though they ache

Sooner or later i'll get used to it and wonder
What it was like back then when I couldn't
Deal. But now I'll just sigh in blessed relief
And laugh when people tell me about the future.

And laugh when people tell me. Because
It's today and you can't hurt me, can't be
Nothing that threatens the fragile peace
That surrounds me until tomorrow.

Until tomorrow comes.

A Bittersweet Parting

[Dragon Writer]

For ariel, aka agfish92:
Moon shines glitters in the sky,
but I know not, for I'm lost in your eyes,
since meeting you, I only fly
sailing up, oh so high,
for it is you, who I love,
more then the stars, more then the day,
it is you who makes me fly, like a dove, on a sunny day,
for you alone, I'd give up the stars,
for you alone, would I fight,
with you alone, can no day mar,
with you alone, would I take all night,
for i do love you, I truly do,
and i do not regret, that its gotten me in quiet a stew.
