those are pretty awesome, i like the darkness one. also the twins poem reminds me a tad bit of jacen and jaina XD

[Ink.Knight]

That's awesome Myth.

Here's a couple of mine.

Love and Hate
Love can bloom from hate
And hate from love
The line between opposites is the easiest to cross
Yet never are the two mistaken one for the other
Both come from fire
Neither can survive in ice
They are brothers, sisters, and lovers
You cannot find one without the other
Everyone has a seed of love in them
Everyone has a seed of hate as well

I Saw A Man


I saw a man in a foreign land,
write a story upon the sand
he turned to watch a wild bird's song
and when he looked the words were gone

I spoke to a man from a land afar
he told me a story about a star
a story from an ancient place
a story about Time and Space

I glimpsed a man in a far-away place
I think he vanished without a trace
when i turned to gaze at his chair
it seems that he was never there.

I wandered into a mysterious place
oddly set in Time and Space
and the mists engulfed me there,
and left behind an empty chair.

Iappeared in a foreign land
I wrote my story in the sand
I turned to watch a bird in song
and when i looked the words were gone

I appeared again in a land afar,
and told a story about a star
and a story about a mysterious place
one that's lost in time and space

It was today that it came to me
an answer that i didn't see
though how it ever came to be
will remain a mystery

i was the man in the foreign land,
that wrote the story in the sand,
I was that man in the faraway place
that I saw vanish without a trace

I can't stay long in any place
I'm not stable in time and space
I leave these words for you to see
so that you'll remember me

Gentle reminder, that this board is meant for group discussion not so much the one-to-one. If you find you're talking to just one other person, PMs/email/IM might be a more appropriate medium. And, of course, we'd prefer substantial posts vs. one-liners. Try to keep a high signal-to-noise ratio. Bandwidth and databases simply aren't infinitely sized, and DD has to pay for both. If you're new to this board, you may want to take a look at the Young Wizards Board-Specific Rules or Why We're Not Like Other Boards FAQ.

Yeah so do I

Stronger emotions tend to be better topics for poetry and I'm tired of all this lovey dovey poetry crap

[Cinnamon Wind]

Thanks!
It was kind of a freak, I never write descriptive poetry, I find breakup/fighting poetry a lot easier.
But I tend to read it a week later and go "oh god, did I write that trash?"

[Tobiasscrabble]

That poem

Was so good that if I knew how to write like that I would write my own thread

[Cinnamon Wind]

I don't know, it just didn't seem as... real as the other one. I know it might've been, I've written things when I felt like that and then afterward thought they sounded like I was trying to imitate the feeling.
Have you written anything else?
Here is probably one of- oh, five or so- non emo poems I have written. It is also one of maybe three that rhyme.

A Time of Angels

When the sun begins to turn the sky a pale rosy gold
There is for watchers beauty of such wonder to behold
For it is a time of angels when your dreams can come alive
When the surreal lives with nature for but four minutes or five.
When mist that still is silver thick can hint of the unknown
When the creaking of a swaying branch might be a fairy's moan
When a reed might be a water nymph for those who still believe
That anything can happen til the morning angels leave.

I wrote it last year and it kind of sucks, but whatever.
I started writing a journal in free verse, recommend it, it's very relaxing.

[Tobiasscrabble]

You

Really liked it what about the love lost one

[Cinnamon Wind]

ooooh Toby love your valentine's day poem. and your signature.
and Cress I know this is about a year late but I absolutely adore your grammar one.
I used to write a ton of poetry... stopped... should start again. I will... one day...

[Tobiasscrabble]

Poem

Magics magics in a book
how many bag guys do I cook
how many wars must I cease
to turn strife into peace
wizards wizards in the air
how many will you dare
confront the lone one in darkness or light
to make his evil turn to flight
for no matter how he may succeed
we will do our daring deeds

[Tobiasscrabble]

Um

Do you like riddles

[NickRyan]

Sure I'm always open to new ideas. I don't write much poetry though mainly for school.

[Tobiasscrabble]

bad break up

so I have a suggestion if u want to hear it

[NickRyan]

Toby: that second one is slightly depressing but still good. where did you get that idea.
