Guest Supreme Gamesmaster Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Annabel Lee was EPIC, but like most ordinary omens, it brings good luck. I read it first on Friday the 13th. I got a free Zelda game the same day. Homer's poems are longer and epic-er, though. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raelen Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Ah, Edgar Allan Poe. He's actually one of my favorite poets, even though all of his poems and stories are quite dark. (Have any of you read some of his stories?)I think my favorite of his is The Raven. Love it! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxic-skull Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 sorry i don't post much.... that's because i can't think of poems that easily so... yeah here's two new one i wrote in school “During the Aims”I set in this cold lifeless room,I set in a uncomforting blue chair, I set in front of my worst enemy,It’s called the Aims test… It’s the hardest test of the school year,I was the fist one done, Now I have to wait for the rest for these yahoos to finish, I have three more days of torcherment,I have to get throw this I know,I don’t know how much more I can take of this! “Night Dreams”As I get throw these days of my life,As I wish everyday for the nights,As I always set in a school class room,I always day dream and longing for the friendly night, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckmasta2020 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I like them but I found a few spelling mistakes, though i'm not sure if you did those on purpose. I fixed them here for you though i may have missed some. “During the Aims”I sit in this cold lifeless room,I sit in a uncomfortable blue chair,I sit in front of my worst enemy,It’s called the Aims test… It’s the hardest test of the school year,I was the first one done,Now I have to wait for the rest of these yahoos to finish, I have three more days left of this torture,I have to get through this I know,I don’t know how much more I can take of this! “Night Dreams”As I get through these days of my life,As I wish everyday for the nights,As I always sit in a school class room,I always day dream and longing for the friendly night.

Duckmasta2020 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Here is another one of my works though it even creeps me out at times.[spoiler=Fear is my lady]Fear is my lady, my beautiful brideI spread it wherever I may strideFear is the code that I followAs I march to the war of tomorrowSpreading my love by instilling fearLovingly instilling that which I hold dear Fear is the emotion I inspireA tactic you have to admireFear is the spear tip of my wayIt surely makes my dayWhen it shines brightly in my foe’s eyeWhen they realize, it is they who will die I am but a lord of the nightAnd spreading fear is my delightI love it dearly and stoke its fireBecause it is simply my desireTo shatter minds by scaring my foesAnd laugh insanely while they writhe in their death throes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Supreme Gamesmaster Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Duckmasta, you sound like Grand Moff Tarkin in those couplets. The haiku is pretty good, but not noteworthy. Great first one, though. [spoiler=Another sonnet, this one on my favorite myth ever.]My task had once become but practiced roteAs centuries, millennia, passed byNo offerings, no prayers, no bard's queer noteEver had I been remembered byBut then the still night came when this all changed:A handsome face, deep eyes, fixed firm on meSince I have never been so much estrangedAs then, but none has ever come to seeHumanity instead of a new home,Since then — thus love I grant to him alone. Not as coolio as the other one, since I had a reason to write that tone. Still, I want practice with the restrictions of a sonnet; mastery of it is truly a feat.

Guest Supreme Gamesmaster Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Queer blank-verse angst quatrains, except for the third stanza, where it's missing a line. That destroys the beat, just so you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
