My opinion is
There hasn't been quite enough
Haiku posted here. :-)

This is probably
Because we mostly post them
Over in this thread.

Uh

here is another
My Christmas tree died
it's lying on the ground
bleeding it's sappy blood

[Tobiasscrabble]

Uh

Here is another one
I release you
my anger and frustration
I release you
my dead heart and it's depression
I release you
this blackened misery
I release you
to make you ancient history

[Cinnamon Wind]

hey guys bck very briefly to post a poem i madfe up walking home one rainy day
kinda based on the refrain of walking in the air

walking through the streets
the villagers like shadows pass
and everything is grey
and raindrops fall like glass.
walking through the streets
the silent cars go by like dreams
and darkness fades to night
and nothing's what it seems.
walking through the streets
the noises now are slow and calm
like being rocked to sleep
in someone else's arms.
walking through the streets
the sidewalk seems to go so far
and slowly you look up
and wish on every star.
walking through the streets
the trees, they seems to lean and hush
and gently fall asleep
as if you've wished too much.
walking through the streets
now everything is like a dream
and darkness fades to night
and nothing's what it seems.

Ink: Well, it isn't a literary fandom, so that may be what's misleading you! Battlestar Galactica '03.

I like yours. It has an interesting flow to it.

[Ink.Knight]

Trialia: I get the feeling I should know it! But I've read so many books that it won't come to me. Care to give a hint? lol

This one just kind sprang from my fingers in that weird way creativity does.

Fears

[Trialia]

This one is... kind of fanfic-poetry, but not for this fandom. Cookie for anyone who can figure it out. And no, it doesn't rhyme, but the cadence works, I think...



Laid grey, stone on stone, to the ground.
She is so pale now, gone elsewhere,
to a place you cannot follow yet.

You know she will wait.
It's what she believes
and now, because of her, you.

You'll see her there,
in a week or a month or a year.
Every day without her is harder than the last.

You see it everywhere,
that grey-green colour of her eyes,
and every sight means something -
just as everything does.

It's as she said:
"so much life," and you feel
that letting yourself fade out like this
may be a betrayal of all she wanted for you.

It doesn't help you to stop hurting,
nor help you to hang on.
Life without her is nothing.

We Are Lost
We are lost, those who cannot chose
are lost so we are all lost in our
path to life. If we do not lose
now we surely will soon. The power
of life is not some gift to be given
but instead is a curse for no matter
what happens we lose; we are driven
to try to defy death, one splatter
of rain in a monsoon, we are lost.

Would I
Would I be crazy if I say
we shall all die this day
Would I be nuts if I jump
from fear of a simple bump
Or would you be crazy
to call me a lazy
person with so much time
that I make lines rhyme
In the end none of these
are relevant for the peas
have answered "Yes I would"
And also "Yes I should"

Dreams
Creatures of all sizes lurk
in the dark places if our minds
just when they reach we jerk
back into reality to see the blinds
have a light shining out from
Bioluminescent fish and realize that
it wants to swim to the place we come
from. when we leap and go splat
right into the middle of an endless war
from which there is no fleeing
but a sudden pain that is more
than a pain. you wake up seeing
a floor and decide never to to go
into the dream world again even
though it would mean there is no
more sleep until you are leavin'
this life in that permanent sleep

[Tobiasscrabble]

here is

my other poem it should be pretty cool at least i thought so
If a person has an aura
Then so should their house
in My house some rooms are pure white
The white is innocent like a mouse
In the others they are as black as night
The black is sly like a fox
Like a snake in a box

The white is like an angel
With magnificent wings
The black is like a death toll
Silently it rings

The black is like a villain
With his sword
The white is a savior
That I adored

[Ink.Knight]

Here's a new one I just came up with. Kind of personal, but whatever.

Friendly Poison
Innocent smiles
Bright shining eyes
Not seeing the poison
That beneath it all lies
Not knowing the fate of a friendship new-born

Together they fight for familial ties
Yet together their rights are smothered in lies
Then towards the end the fights turn around
They battle each other, standing their ground
Again they grapple
And again they reconcile

But never again can sure trust be reached
For now the poison has through it all seeped
As they grow ever distant
Through time and through space
The poisoned friendship
Shall always remain

Staining their lives
In the future and past
Lurking within
Forever keeping its grasp

Lost broken smiles
Darkness filled eyes
Now seeing the poison
That beneath it all lies
Now morning the fate of a friendship new-born

kk, wow...just...wow. i don't even know what to say about that. fantastic poem ^^


Ink, that's awesome, star wars for the win XD



and here's something i wrote that may sound decently dark, but i like how it turned out



unchecked the coals of darkness smolder
without detection growing bolder
visible in mirror's reflected light
always lurking just out of sight

the forgotten three, they long to be
set loose on the world, bereft of light
destruction as far as the eye can see
the first step lies within their sight.

the worlds defenses not withstanding
the tides of darkness soon unending
the mirror slowly breaking down
into millions of pieces on the ground.

the boundaries that hold the monster within
slowly eroding,growing thin
the darkness slowly now arises
cloaked in shadow, in many disguises

soon the unities will not be spoken
friend from friend, bonds will be broken
disruption from behind the shadow door
a world in darkness forevermore

Other than on here of course.
here I've been searching through the various posts on ablemuse.com, but here am struggling to connect with any of the work on there, and my feeling is that they wont appreciate mine in return.here If any one knows any similar sites operating in the UK with mostly British members, I'd really appreciate it.

So many amazing poems posted here recently, I can't even list all of them! I've been lurking in this topic a bit, reading, and it's a lot of amazing stuff!

I haven't posted here in a forever and a half (I'd forgotten this topic existed, nearly), so I decided to post something I wrote a little while ago. Not sure if it's a poem or a song, perhaps a mixture of both.

I was feeling a bit sad one day, remembering all of those who have passed away in the past years - my grandfather, my best friend's dad, my mom's friend's husband; and all of the people who have been hurt by having to leave relationships, and everyone I knew who's felt lonely. So, I just started writing on my computer late at night, and this is what it turned into.

Lost

The last two actually reference the SW universe. The second one was about Jaina in Dark Journey. And the third one was about the legacy series. The first one was just something random.
