Sid. Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 not to mention the numerous spelling and structure mistakes in it I dont understand why you care SO much about spelling mistakes..A poem is a poem.They shouldnt be treated bad because of spelling mistakes...And i know what your going to say,"Propper Grammar" or "Spelling is FTW!"But in all seriousness,A poem in 1337 isnt a bunch of spelling errors in a bunch of words,its aPoem.

[spoiler= The Lies] “The Lies”All they say about me are lies,All they say about me are hurtful things,All I even know anymore is bedrail and defeat,All I can say for myself is that theirs no tomorrow,All I knew in my past was joy,But know that I’ve hit middle school… every thing is a lie,All my life is anymore is a living hel* [/align] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overlord Lucan Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Ahhh about time someone thought about a club like this. I would like to join. Here's one of my old poems: [spoiler=Fire] Fire Fire, fire in the night,Flames big and burning bright.Stings like a wasp.Flames beauty in the night,Acting like men might,Taking, burning, destroying all,How fearful the flames can be,And yet flames and men are so alike. Evil, sinister, nurturing, giving and takingIt destroys all, as humans doHow fearful it is,And yet, too alike. I know it's not to good, but it was an old poem I did for school so... yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericho Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 [spoiler=One For One Cost]She had bruises on her face,From one sided fights,Emotionally distant,From long, lonely nights, I saw him hitting her,I couldn’t stand by,I wanted that poor excuse,For a human to die, His arm poised to strike again,I ran to her aid,I pushed the man over,And picked up a spade, The blade on his chest,My knee on his shoulder,I back handed him and said,“That’s no way to scold her!” I grabbed him by the throat,And slammed his head to the ground,“Now how does it feel,To be the one knocked around?” His lifeless body below me,His blood on my hand,This was, and yet it wasn’t,The ending I had planned. I knew my freedom had ended,Though through this I felt fine,Because I knew what I had given,I gave her freedom, at the cost of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jericho Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Ya. Its for school. I had to write a poem with at least 5 stanzas, with four lines in each stanza, and it had to rhyme. Luckily, I had the first 5 stanzas done when the project was assigned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
