Most of my poems that are any good at all turn out to be depressing. I find it so much easier to pour out my feelings into writing when I'm down or depressed than when I'm all happy and perky. Most of the happy things I write turn out to be cheesy. I have some that are just in-between, not sad, not happy. Those are okay.

I came up with a cinquain...it's the parts of speech kind, in case you couldn't tell.

Alone
fearful, lost
hiding, searching, yearning
for acceptance
forsaken

Heh. It's not good or anything, but hey. I was bored.

wow, you got published! You must be pretty awesome then. I would love to see the poem that got put into a book, that would be so cool!

Ok, my turn... this one's to my friend who's extremely beautiful and was cheated on because the guy was a MAJOR prat...

Oh Player

Another bookshelf
you pass by
scanning uninterrestedly
with your eyes

brushing your fingers
over their spines
they shiver at your touch
but then they meet their demise

once in a while
you pluck one up
glance it a look
then toss it out

I was one
you tossed aside
oh player can't you see
more than what's outside?

I want to scream
to shout to the others
oh player can't you see?
there's more than the cover

i have a couple of poems. this first one is a metaphor poem that i did for my english class...

My family is like a car, loud and always on the move. mom is the steering whell, turning and leading us in the right direction. dad is the seatbelt, protecting and keeping the family safe. Katelyn is the engine, loud and active. Iam the cd player, noisy and entertaining. we all need each others love to keep on moving. without one or the other the car would brake down, and crash.

what you think? my teacher said she liked it. so i guess its good.

i have a few poems,all my friends say they are good,but i don't know. i guess ill let u be the judge of that!!

hear me

hear me cry this scream of pain
ive nothing to lose,nothing to gain
all alone with masks of Death
all never to take another breath
put 1 on 2 cover the tears
and go into a hall of mirrors
stare at my depressed reflection,
feel thoughts of reccollection
the death of dependence
the dawn of remembrance
remembrance of the death
of the man u had left
i scream a cry of enduring pain
i can tip the scale with 1 grain
1 grain
hear me
hear my words
do not ignore the little birds
listen
listen
hear my cry.

[agfish92]

very very good.. i think it needs somethinng.. maby an internal rhime or a abab rhyme scheme


oh and 1 more thing.. i wrote this poem/song tell me how you like it


crying so loud,
crying so clear,
hearing you cry is the only thing i hear,

listing hard ,
i find the way,
the way through your heart,

the only way,
of living to me,
is seeing you smile ,
waching you love me,

but when push comes to shove,
you pull away,
pulling away from my heart and me,

thinking about what i did,
i see that it was wrong,

but now that its done ,
and now that its over,

we both see it though,
saying "i love you" ,
is all we needed to do,

but i did it again,
your pulling away,
the life slips from my palms,

i stair out and watch,
you wont stop,
running away again,

without you,
my life is over,
love is a waiste,

without you ,
my heart is broken,
till we met someday,



love is something you dont wanna talk to harshley... think of how they feal.. if you put them first and pull them from the bus comming at you then more than likely neather of you will get hurt.. hope that makes sence.. tell me how you like it

[Shandurai]

that was really good. I'll give you some light constructive critisism, alright? Well, normally when poets use short sentences like yours, they choose their words very carefully. You melted my heart though, and I agree with your p.s.. Love is something that can be turned against you at any time, and shouldn't be mucked in. Good job, agfish! And Marelle, I loved your wording, you are very talented.

Alone
Alone.
Alone is what I am...
My friends never stay,
No never stay...

They aren't truely friends
If they just walk away
And ignore me...
They get older, change
And turn away...
Yes turn away from me...

This poem is from my POV describing exactly how I feel about my RL 'friends'. Not really friends if they don't even TALK to me. *goes off into a corner to read*

i like to write poems from the POV of other people, often young children full of innocence and who are confused as to why the world works the way it does. Here's one 1 wrote when i was a little upset....


THE WEAK ARE NEVER LOST

Who will help?
I am a child and guidance I need

Who will listen?
I am young and my path has curves

Who will comfort?
My naïve nature makes me perfect prey

Who will save me?
My small body cannot take much more

I am young and small
Weak and fragile
Hurt and damaged

Yet my youth has a nerver-ending light
My small size allows me to crawl through the smallest cracks
And with a little time
I CAN become strong
And live

I actually think that my poem is on here...somewhere. *looks around* It's here. I think that should take you right there...hopefully. I don't want to post it again and take up space when it's already up. I don't really have a title for this next one, and it's really rambling. I was just bored in class, hehe.

Winding roads
throughout my world,
confusing and beautiful
all the same.
Running up and down
lost and purposeless,
running, from what?
Only dreamt up nightmares,
ghosts from the past
easily brushed away
by the morning sun.
Direction comes with the dawn,
enlightenment with the sunrise.
Shadows can't last forever
though wish they may.
Instead the coming light
will keep them all at bay.

Kay, this one's kind of long. But it's YW themed!

ok. Constructive critisism time for those people who asked...

-Cress: you're poem was really good, I liked the way you said 'and her' because it sort of brings out the issue more. Also, when you said the way I cling, it sort of makes people feel for you because most know what that's like.

-La Folle: wow, that's beautiful. I agree, we're all, essentially, born to die. It's just a fact. Sort of like you could have said we're dust in the wind. It brings on a somber mood.

-Mousey: How exactly did you get that name? I think it's interresting because I once had friends exactly like yours and they nicknamed me mouse. I feel for you, Mousey, I really do. There's someone out there who feels the same as you do, you just have to look a little bit harder.

Good Job everyone!
