Poems!!!!!

Thats beautiful Hydra I just got chills reading that.

[Hydra]

Haha, it's just poetry.

With a little emotion, a child could write poetry. Especially AABB style. =P

Now the non-rhyming poetry with a deep meaning is hard to accomplish. It has to sound good with no rhymes, and have a solid meaning.

It's pretty hard, truthfully. <_<

Meh. I'll write another in a bit. =D

[blackstar]

Whats AABB style. (Im not much of a poet but my gf "Aiden" is a very good poet

I'm a little cold
Watching events unfold
Haha, the story of you
Writing it isn't much to lose

Focus on the simple things
Like the chill the wind brings
Or watch the way the wind blows
And how red it makes your nose

Because you won't get a second chance
Again, to stand there, in that exact stance
You know you can't do that again
So this is the time your life begins

Take every second of it you can
Use all the time you have to plan
It may be the last time you can plan it
Shape your life as you see fit

You only get to live one time
And death is only the first sign
Of what is coming in the after life
So, stop trying to be nice

You know as well as I do
What amount of pressure that's on you
Look outside of the box
And release your inner locks.


AABB style, if anyone knows how to dig into poetry rules. =P

Yeah, that's the actual rhyme scheme though. =D

Same sense, in a way.

Guess this one, lol. XD It's fairly easy.

I just can't wait
For it to appear
In fact, being up to date
I hear what I want to hear

I don't need you
To tell me that it's there
Believe me, I'm not one of the few
That really couldn't care

My impatience is showing
And you hate it, right?
While my conscience is slowing
And our emotions fight

I don't get it
Why can't I wait?
Your stare burns, eyes alit
What answer do you want me to take?!

Do you want my soul?
Or do you want my love?
Do you want to take a hold?
Of my life, or none of the above?

Is this love true?
Or are you just playing with me?
I'll go with anything you do
And see what you want to see

I could see us going somewhere
But you're afraid of the idea of us
Well, you have to learn how to dare
My memories don't matter, don't gather up the dust

Let's start out fresh
Forget the past, okay?
I've always liked that dress
But that's because it's what you'd say.

The 1st four stances are ABAB, the other four are CDEF, or something like that

[SunshineyKailiana]

Alone in the darkness I felt,
Watching my soul slowly slip away.
Hope had almost left my mind
With it would my self would have gone.
Then hope came into my broken life
In just the right time.
And as I looked in his face,
I knew my life would turn around.

~Picking up the Leaves~

I've seen the great forests of the east
I've traveled the road of terrible struggles
I've faced my worst nightmare, and won
I've been slain by true love, but I yet lived
I've picked up the leaves of my past, my memories,
my broken heart, and everything I hold dear...
the wind continues to blow them away from my grasp.

-From Tragedy, By: Jhimian

[MiyuYamano]

Wheeee
Good poem there, Jhimian!

[Axel]

Poems are a way of voicing your opinion, but I have learned that it doesn't mean you'll all ways be heard. The important thing is to never give up a dream, no matter how many times you fail. Never give up.

[Arkacia]

Lots of talent in this thread. Now I"m going to ruin that run by posting something I wrote for another site. The story behind it, which is necessary for the poem to make sense, is imagine a great war involving many groups, but one group, ours, is neutral. There is discord within that group whether to stay neutral or join the war to help friend groups who are being defeated by a much larger and stronger enemy. The eagle is the symbol and mascot for our group.

The Eagle

On the edge of the precipice, a lone man stands
staring into the gloom below

Should he leap forth from his safe solid perch
and plummet down into the unknown

How did I get here, he thinks to himself
why can't I walk away?

What keeps me here, right on the rim?
can somebody please explain?

I watched the others stumble, leap or fall
down into that deep abyss

My friends, my enemies, one by one
till only I am left

I called out to them, and begged them no
don't leave me alone I cried

It is safe here at the top of the cliff
nobody needs to die

I hear them now, way down there
the prayers, the insults, and screams

Some begging for help, some cursing my name
and some warning me to leave

Pain and anger, joy and hope
take turns to float up to me

I feel the despair, and the satisfaction
in defeat or victory

What brought us all here to this accursed cliff?
that has ripped my soul in two

why must I choose to stand or fall?
when will I know what to do?

The lone man ponders on this for a while
as the sounds below became strident

Finally, he looks up at the sky
and sees a magnificent eagle flying

It is big, beautiful, bold, and free
neither asking permission nor giving

The lone man watches the bird with awe
and feels something within him brimming

The eagle looks down, right at the man
straight into his very heart

The loan man feels its presence there
and his gloom begins to depart

I know now what to do, he thinks to himself
the answer is clear as the sea

Follow the others, or not perhaps
but that decision is up to me

The leap is long and the fall is hard
Of my choice, I need to be sure

Because if do this wrong, either way
I won't be much help at all

The lone man slowly takes two steps back
away from the edge of the cliff

As the eagle circles high over his head
screeching its relief

^ THAT was absolutely brilliant. You have superb talent.

And as for me, I have a poem...It's in my signature, actually. In english it reads:

Twilight reigns, fading into sky.
Darkness falls, you are there waiting.
I cannot see, for the night consumes my sight.
Crying, weeping, I cannot find you.
Your light is there, and mine is already gone.

I second that. That was magnificent. O.o

The Shadow

A shadow hides behind me,
Creeping as I walk,
Growing ever closer,
Careful not to talk.
The sun sets in the distance,
Dusk moving in,
I turn to see the shadow's face,
Break out into a grin.
"Why do you follow me," I ask,
"At this time of night, what have you to do?"
The shadow answered, his laughter wicked,
"The nightmares I carry tonight, are especially for you!"
I sprint down the street,
My heart filled with fear,
"My darkest dreams, my thoughts of dread,
They have found me, they are here!"
Over fences and through bushes I run,
My face drenched in cold sweat,
The shadow's hand brushing my cheek;
But I have not been caught, not quite just yet!
For I have reached my home,
And I dart through the open door,
I quickly shut it; but no sigh of relief am I given,
For the shadow, my relentless pursuer,
Lies, his cackle ringing, his smile ever wider, on the floor.
-------
This was my first real attempt at a rhyming scheme. I thought I did a decent job, but it's not the best thing...The idea came from the fact that I hate walking home, alone, in the dark. I always feel as if I'm being watched, and whatever it is, it would chase me down no matter where I went. So I guess that's what sparked this poem...

[jedi geoff]

There once was a man named geoff
he had a sexy chest

they wanted to PASH HIM
and he wasnt a very good chef
