VC: I like that poem! We should put together a book of poems for fun! YWForumPoets. hahahaha! I like to make up poems from the top of my head. (Though most of them turn out stupid.)
Calliope:Your poem is good too! That's really good. You should make it like describing a blizzard but it's really describing a person.

[vegan_chick]

thankies Z, I like yours too, even if it is about love!

I wrote this poem for my teacher's brother who recently died

I guess that life is just
too beautiful to last
and just as it comes
it goes quickly to past
but the marks a life has made on this earth
through death will hold fast

I guess something so fragile can't stay
life is like a butterfly
to find peace it must fly away
into the hands of the open sky

and even after it's gone
it's beauty survives
it echoes in the wind
and it's emblazoned in the skies
the inspiration it has brought
is something that can't die

[Zgirl]

That's really pretty. You should write a poem about your siggy, it sounds like it's make a good poem!

I was very mad when I wrote this poem:

I was drowning
I called for help
but I guess you didn't hear
you just sadly walked away
As if I didn't mean anything to you
But I guess I don't anymore
not after you let me drown

Jim Croce, a singer/songwriter from the 1970s, sang a song called "Time in a bottle" which is what that line reminds me of. Is that where it came from, Vegan_chick?

[vegan_chick]

I'm not sure, I heard it on the radio on an oldies station and I thought it sounded pretty. it most likely is though.

I was nearing the edge
It's time
my soul told me
I could taste it in the air
I could feel it all around me
I also felt the gaping darkness
I was oblivious to fear
but not intimidation
for I was so small
against the huge cliff
my mistake
my downfall
I knew it was time
so I took my leap

This poem is not about suicide. (people always think that) It is about accepting your mistakes and learning to get over them, and even growing from them.

[Gryphon]

Learn to grow from not only your mistakes, but all of the events and things in life.

I don't write poems very often. I can't write much about happy things because I feel like I'm lying to myself. This one is more like a then/now kinda thing.

Always shall I sink below the surface,
my own soul writhing beneath my skin.
When will it ever stop,
the torment deep inside?
Held fast by the darkening sky,
I sift through my thoughts of despair.
Always searching, never finding
the answer to my final question.

Long have I been released,
and never shall I return again
to the isolation of the night
and shadows of the day.
Still no answer has come to me,
but I no longer want to know the answer.
Pain is all it promises.

mwahahahahahahhha! you asked for it!

here's my poetry!



flying up in the air,
swerving, turning here and there,
watch us glisten, watch us fly,
watch us glide through the sky.


and....
oh and yesterdays was:
the hero shall come with dragon's blood and dragon's sight,
and fight the eternal fight,
but do not cry, and do not moan,
for he shall never fight alone.

and....

We spread to wings, and take to air,
Hot or cold we do not care,
For we are dragons, free to fly,
Shining brightly in the sky,
we are the dragons, and we shall fly!

and....

The sun comes up, to free our wings,
And from the ground we now do fling,
To spread our wings and take to sky,'
To feel the joys of the fly,
To feel the wind beneath our wings,
It makes us simply want to sing!

and....

black dragon, black as night,
for which side do you fight?
for the night,
Or for the light?
Black dragon also know as the choice.

and....

With dragon's blood and Dragons sight,
The hero shall come to fight the fight,
But if he fails, to stop the Plight,
Then we shall fall to endless night.
Shakora's welcome. Dragon Prophecy.


and....

with dragon's blood, and dragons sight,
the hero shall come, to fight the fight,
but if he fails, to stop the plight,
well, so long your doomed!

stretching clawing towards the sky,
we ache to know, what may lie,
beyond the limits of our eyes,
for we are the curious, we are the brave,
and we ache to be, beyond this cave

and....

Eyes that shine in the night,
I fear my senses will take flight,
Leave me, they just might,
On this very, very, bright night,
Never has there been such a light,
When your eyes shine, the night takes flight,
Your eyes give my life light.

wrote every one of them! (what can i say, i have a lot of time on my hands. hope you like them!)

Poem by vegan_chick

You have _no_ idea how much this poem relates to me. I actually have a song/poem that is so, well, mushy, that I refuse to show anyone except Clone. Eheheheheheheheh.... *scurries off*

Oh, thanks Kathy!

[Dragon Writer]

more poems! whahahahahahhahahahhahaha!
this one I wrote earlier, about eagles, but changed it to dragons because it expresses my feelings better. here it is!

The morning comes to the sky,
And Frees our hearts to soar the skies,
And find out what just may lie,
Beyond where we have so far flown,
And find what we may, as we roam,
For we are dragons, strong and proud,
And though some may think us simply loud,
We shalll shout our freedom ot the skies,
And though some may think us simply loud,
We shall shout our freedom to the skies,
and fly, fly as the dragon flies,
For we are dragons, strong and proud, and we are free of the ground,
So here our cry,
And here us sound,
For we are dragons, strong and proud.


A light

Wind rustles all the leaves,
And rain drips off the eaves,
And through it all, a light shines through,
To light upon the sky so blue.

This one was written for a couple girls who asked me two:

Two girls
two girls stand there, in the sun.
Doing nothing just having fun,
Just standing, standing in the sun.

Same with this one
True Friends.

Together they laugh, where apart they would cry,
They're true friends forever,
In this I don't lie.

They're true friends for ever,
Their bonds unbroken,
Their friendships unmatched,
They're friends forever,
No strings attached.


THis ones an old haiku i did:

The night was silent,
Swoosh, whoosh, swoosh, went the owl's wings,
The silence returned.


Valentine is in the air,
And everything comes in pairs,
On this day, oh so fair,
Love is truly in the air.

Snow falls before my eyes,
And the sun begins to rise,
And as the snow glistens in the light,
my heart dost truly take to flight.
