Place Your Poetry Here!

[Dragon Writer]

I submitted this one for a literary contest in my school, though I really didn't like it that mcuh, I wrote it at last minute. I prefer one I wrote for my english class which I will post when my teacher gives it back.

Are you crazy? that was great! true, it was kind of sad, but it was great! I look forward to seeing your other one.

i find that there is a different kind of pain
other than the sharp piercing of a knife against the skin
or the dull ache of a twist of muscle or bone
its a recessive lurching
coming like a dagger at your throat
over and over again
shaking you down to your core
and leaving you painfully breathless
your hands shake with fear and disbelief
and your head aches
from being in the wrong direction
all you see is white and clear
and even that world
spins over and over again
your breath comes short
and you let out a cry of agony
but no one comes to save you
and as the tears fall down your flushed cheeks
your stomach curdles once more
and to think
this is all self inflicted
by an obsession
with wrong doing
god help the troubled soul

Theres Another one of my favorites of my little collecton... Constructive criticisikm always welcome

Here's another...

A Hearts' Remorse

What is love but an enigma?
Yet I deny it so.
But when I look into your eyes,
my heart is filled with woe.

I know you can't be mine,
my appearence guarintees,
but my heart knows
that we are destiny

How I wish I could hold you,
hug you in my arms,
and express my true feelings,
with out fear of your alarm.

But now I see you,
slowly walking away from me,
Now my mind truly knows,
that we were never meant to be.

Do you like it? Its one of my best.

Azen: that is so good! I love it. Wish I could write poetry...well, good poetry. I am very good at writing bad poetry. XD Hmmm...what can I put here to make this not a one-liner?

Why do I love him? I don't understand,
His smiles and jokes keep me going on
He gives me shivers when he takes my hand,
His leaving is midnight; his entrance, dawn.
When he is gone, my life is deeply dark,
I feel no joy when he is not nearby,
Maybe we should go make out in the park (LOL)
There is no reason for him to be shy.
The reason he's not mine? I do not know
We feel the same way, what're we waiting for?
I do not want him to let my heart go,
I'm beginning to feel love's a chore.
Perhaps I'm actu'lly delirious
Sadly, I don't think he's serious.

Effing love sonnets. Hate them. And this one? It makes even less sense than my last one...which is buried somewhere in TOGR. XD I hope it stays buried...

Oh! we can post poetry? Well why didn't anyone say so?!

lol

here's one of mine:

Shells in the Sand
-hedwigsangel

White birds dot the sky
Like spots on a blue canvas.
The Air sparkles below them
From deep turquoise water
That goes on forever.

The water transforms into heavy waves
Crashing and gliding on the shore.
The waves are coated in foam
Left in a never-ending line on the sand.

The sand is gritty, sticky
Multicolored specks dot
The perfect scene
Shells are scattered across the beach
In parts,
In pieces,
Never really whole.

The broken shells are memories
Left to haunt the sea.
They remember life passing by
Though life took little notice of them.

Runners raced that morning
Leaving ghostly prints in the sand.
They are alone now
Devoid of their creators.
Only the shells remember their passing
When the sea steals the prints away.

Ive been running dry :/

I walk on air
as black as night
with all to fear
and none to fight

My future comes
so close to me
and yet I do not grasp
my destiny

I am not ready
I have to wait
But what will I
have to compensate?

So now I sit
in this dark hole
pondering, thinking,
about my soul.

Wow, i comletley just made that up. LOL.

the world is small,
but hearts are larger,
friends helpall, to the end of never.
-snow ear
Sigh nomore ladies,
sigh no more,
men were desivers ever,
one foot in sea,
and one on shore,
to one thing constant never,

Then sigh not so,
but let them go,
and be you blithe and bonny,
converting all,
your sounds of woe,
into hey nonney nonney.
-William Shakespear

The first one was written by me when I attempted poetry from stories. That peom I created in 10 secounds when writting to a buddy of YW.

[Hogosha]

A lot of my poetry can be found under my penname DeathMountain at fictionpress.com, but I stopped submitting cause the stupid system kept screwing my stuff up.

Immortality is Overrated
What a terrible existence this must be! (cried she)
I find little beauty in eternity. (and weeped)
Can a corpse be asked to describe what it sees? (mistakes, surely)
When I die I will feed the Earth and its children at least. (hopefully)
Perhaps my life is only temporary. (truly?)
But it means that much more to have silent rest
Than the tired, dull blank of immortality. (and be free)

Truth
I want to see a truth again
Like the one she gave me that night
Love and love that love and love life

the Road
