The Poets Laureate: [Please Lock]

Recommended Posts

i got a new one

.:What a strange man:.

What a strange man

He walks down the street with blood in his hand

Yet he helps the poor and hopeless

He holds a blade on his back

Yet he dislikes fighting

Down the bombed street he smiles devilishly

And he says everything will be better

He continues walking exploding the guns in their hands

And a tear drops from his face as he saw them on fire

His solid body breaks down and cries for the dead

What a strange man

 

Nice!

One thing' date=' "And a tear drops from his face," is in the present tense, while, "as he saw them on fire" is in the past tense. Change it to, "as he [u']sees[/u]them on fire."

 

Also, 100th POST!!!!!!!!!! ^_^

new poem

.:Who?:.

In a blank room stands a mirror

Yet the more I look the more I can't find myself

I see a man in a dark suit

I find a rebel in a worn out jacket

I continue and find a demon who lusts for blood

I ask who are you

And they answer "We are you"

But I refuse! I reject!

You are not me!

You are just shadows!

You are just mere creations!

You can't be me!

I am the real me!

But who am I?

Here's the finished version of "Breathe In"

 

 

[align=center]

Breathe In

Breathe in to see the difference

Of everything we try to grasp,

Of every future we hold to.

Of every hour left to last.

 

Breathe in to feel the magic

As it courses before our eyes,

As it flows within our spirit,

Even after someone dies.

 

Breathe in to smell the aura

That drives our senses wild.

Leaving not a moment's peace.

Like the immaturity of a child.

 

Breathe in to hear the music,

Let its melodies calm your thought,

Let its rhythm shape your past,

Before your future can be caught.

 

Breathe in to taste the delicates.

Let the sweetness end your twitterness.

Let the healthy keep you breathing,

Instead of tasting that useless bitterness.

 

Breathe in to smell the warm night air,

Breathe in to see the rainbow,

Breathe in to feel the calmness

Before the chimes sound below.

 

Breathe in to taste the moment,

Breathe in to grasp its reins,

Breathe in to hear the silence

In the world where silence gains.

Ooh, I like it!

 

The last 2 lines in the 3rd verse: Could you change it so it scans better? It becomes a bit too long.

In the 4th verse: Change the "it's" to an "its" without the apostrophe.

 

Great poem!!

 

@ Haruki: Very good! It gives us a lot to think about ourselves!

The demon is very scary and the reaction is wonderfully intense!!

Made 2 more poems.

 

[align=center]

[spoiler=[b]Angry Moment[/b]]

I sit - I'm sitting at the station

As I slouch impatiently

While I go through my complications

As fire burns inside of me

 

I feel burning in my soul

My teeth are gritting; fists are clenching

My face is rd as burning coal

As I sit, waiting, on my bench

 

My heart is beating oh so fast

The sweat is worsening my thirst

My self control is dropping vast

I feel as if I'm going to burst

 

Until the fire of my mind

Is halted by my happy thoughts

My tight fists loosened; teeth seized to grind

Previously sweating, now I'm not

 

My bus arrived, and I walked in

Until it hit me like a flash

I seemed to be recovering

From all that soda that made me crash.

 

 

[spoiler=[b]Fate[/b]]

Do not discourage your own fate

Or consequences will be great

Be fairly wise when choosing your path

Or prepare to face the devil's wrath!

 

 

 

 

lol And I'll post this one just for laughs! XD

 

[spoiler=[b]Adding Negatives[/b]]

There was a plus and a minus.

The minus had gingivitis.

It breathed on the plus, the plus sniffed and it ran,

And that is my adding negative plan.

Wondering

As I sit in my chair

As I lay on my bed

As I seem to float on the air

My mind wonders

 

It wonders into places unknown

It wonders as I sleep

It wonders as I work

 

It wonders about life

It wonders about space

It wonders about wondering

My mind wonders

 

 

I wonder if my mind was wondering good that time :wink:

new one

 

.:Silence:.

Ah the beautiful feeling of this moment

My eyes which gently close to block all light

My mind creates a place of poverty

A place where the moon always shines

forever illuminating the reflection of the sun

People as I see them pace by try to talk

But they all seem so mute

Ah the power of silence

Ammi goin' 2 fast 4 u? =P

 

[align=center]

[spoiler=[b]Glory[/b]]

The desert of doubt dries up my skin

I feel the hopeless sun shine bright

Until I just continue walkin'

The rain of satisfaction sprites

I see relieving nature bloom

Of glorious grass; triumphant trees

I see behind what I have groomed

Of all the stress that I have seized

 

 

[spoiler=[b]My Life is Like a Country Road[/b]]

My life is like a country road

I drive along under blue sky

And with an open mind, I rode

While watching other cars pass by

 

 

[spoiler=[b]Writing is Like a Roller Coaster[/b]]

You're thinking at the station

You ask for help adjusting

Now all you do is hang on tight

And let the coaster do it's thing

Very nice poems all!

 

fit8 & Midnightwolf16: Work on spelling. And Wolf' date=' please capitalize words. Fit8, I think you're using repetition almost [u']too[/u] much..

i was talkin bout this. ^^^

 

Yeah. I think you may use, "It wonders" too much. Then again, it's your decision.

Mysteries

There are mysteries all around us

 

Where did we come from

Where did weather come from

Where did anything come from

 

We will be us

But why not other people

 

We will not live without water

But why can we live without meat

 

We will sleep

But why not just stay awake

 

These are mysteries all around us

 

 

like i said, i wont make it very long.

[spoiler=Unnamed Poem]

I know why the lone wolf howls,

I know why the lone wolf prowls,

I know why the lone wolf cries,

It's all alone, and then it dies.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Unnamed Poem 2]

The loneliness is setting in,

My torment will soon begin,

When she is sad it makes me cry,

To make her happy I would even die.

Both poems end in "die." XD

 

The second one seems ripped apart at Line 3.

How does it seem ripped apart? I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by that.

 

It means the poem lacks fluency' date=' meaning it can easily be torn apart by the readers. If a poem lacks fluency, the readers' mood could change completely when reading a part of the poem, when really they should have the [i']same[/i] mood throughout the entire thing.

 

Confusing?

If epic poetry counts, will join.

 

I'll post the Zephyr-and-Flora poem I'm doing for Snitch tomorrow.

 

@Jericho: The first one reminds me of Holes.

The second one's last line is awful; why that "even"? It throws off the rhythm, and detracts from the meaning besides.
