Here you can post any poetry you have written.

Here's a poem I wrote several years ago, although I don't like it too much.

Sombre Darkness
Luminous bats frolic in a shadowy sky,
Vigilant owls glare with a heedful eye
Every which way there is wispy dust,
That carries a putrid stench or must
A solid stone path winds through the vibrant plants,
A laudable passage for minute, negligible ants
Insects roam primitively and free,
While rodents vigorously climb an ominous tree
Butterflies flutter with conviction and grace,
Moths stutter sluggishly in disgrace
Leaves are swirled past rocks tenaciously,
Grass waves through the foliage vivaciously
The scent of burnt wood will always linger,
Too vast to grasp with just one finger
Far past the forest is infinite void,
Far away all has been barbarically destroyed
The forest delivers faith like a carrier,
This forges an indestructible barrier.

Here is a poem I wrote for Luminous_Daybreak.

Love

Love is in the air.
Love is everywhere.
In a soft whisper of the breeze.
Through the sudden whisp of the trees.
So if you really want love?
Keep an open heart and love will find the way. :wub: :heart: :inlove:

Wind
Hear the wind beseech to be set free from of its seclusion
Taste the crisp bitterness of a lonely spirit
Feel a misunderstood gale whisk your face
Smell the unnoticeable scent of a friendless vagrant
See beyond the visible.

Here's is another poem I wrote. I'll dedicate it to Luminous_Daybreak (although it isn't about her).

Here's another one for Luminous_Daybreak, inspired by her acceptance of everyone.

Harmony
Springtime is blooming with a variety of shades of green:
A montage of the colours of plants and trees,
A painting of emerald brush strokes,
A whirlwind of jade blades dancing in a mellow breeze,
A mosaic of olive signs of spring.
Yet we don’t see a seamless amalgamation of green,
We see the contrast of different shades.
Why can’t we tolerate our differences and see our similarities?

Our poems are so sappy.

I have another poem:

Model Homes
I loathe model homes.
They're pretentious, not modest
Glitzy, yet lifeless.
They yearn to make statements.
But try far too hard.

That IMO, was the best one ^^

Do you guys know Luminous personally?

What does IMO stand for?

IMO- In my opinion.

In my opinion
EDIT: DAMN'IT XIO, you beat me to it

Thanks.

This is my 1st poem I have written in a while (i suck at writing poems)

Name: (You choose i have none)

Why did you have to leave me?
I was that lonely night when you went away
I was wondering why and how we couldn't be
You left me there in the dark with no one to love and stay
I hope that one day that you would come back
That you would never leave again
That you would always be at my side
So that my emotions don't have to hide
The dark is where I have always been
Hoping that you will never leave again

I have no clue how to write these things..so laugh all you want

Holy Crud, I'm popular (thanks for all the love!). Thanks for the poems you guys, I really liked your first one, No_Doubt. Twister, that was really really sweet. And Kyra, I think it's a very nice poem. Something I'd read in a love letter, you know?

Epitaph

Hollowed by the damnation of light,
I tread slowly into my inner glow.
Within that space, I find nothing but hard,
shattered, broken, and cold beliefs.
Each in it's own, a complete catastrophe.
Superficial, my own thoughts skid the surface
of what society deems appropiate.
And, then, I'll,
Fly with you.

I wrote this after finding out that my uncle died on 9/11.

P.S.- xio, your signature reminds me of Rose McGowan who plays paige on Charmed.

That poem was breathtaking! I'm sorry about your uncle :( .

Hey, hey, don't worry about it. Thanks, though.

Song Hye Go ----> Rose McGowan O__O

If I remember her well, she wore that VERY revealing chain suit (at some award show)

btw sorry about your uncle. RIP.

I'm not the only one who watches Charm. Yay..I also watch Angel...to. Piper/Paige/Phebie(don't know how to spell that one.)/Leo/

Song Hye Go reminds me of Bjork (if that's how you spell her name).

who is Song Hye Go?

*points to sig*

Bjork? I've heard of her but never seen her. Is she a Jpop singer?

:heh heh:

Bjork is from Iceland.

There's a picture of Bjork. To be honest, I've heard of her but I don't know what genre of music she sings.

Here's my poem.

Houses are alive.
They are the structures in which we shelter ourselves.
If you're quiet enough, you can hear them breathe...
And sometimes in the middle of the night, you can hear them groan...
Haunted is the word which we use to describe their tragedy...

If we sicken, they sicken with us,
If we grow tired, they weary alongside...
But if we die, do they die with us?
We say haunted, but we really mean...
The house is always alive...

Excellent work!

Thx!

Great poems everybody, tho I don't get poetry.

Here's a sonnet I wrote. Completely open to critique. I think it's kinda cheesy, but hey, I tried. I'd love some feedback.

Sorry my poems are so morbid.

Pure amazing. that right there is a GREAT poem!!!

Wow. that's...wow.

there are people in college who can't write with that level of polish and sophistication.

minor nitpicks:

"Rhythm," not "rythym." (though to be honest, i don't know many people who can spell it correctly off the top of their head--i had to look it up too. :heh heh: )

i would also suggesting replacing some of the "thou"s with something else--"thee" is the easiest if you want to keep the current feel, but i would suggest taking out all of the "Old English" words and replacing them with their modern counterparts. The rest of the poem uses modern english constructs, and while sometimes using older forms can give the poem a heavier, more serious tone, in this case it leans a little bit more towards pretentious.

^this last bit is real nerdy though. most people probably won't even think twice about it.

I suck at poetry... here goes my whack as$...

Bla....

That's it. lol

I told you I suck! I'm better suited to writting. But a hiku I can do.

Told you, Lumi! My word is 100% BS-free! I know a good poem when I see one. ;) Though to get me to write a good poem is like flattening the earth. :p

Not a very good one. This is is part of a story I'm working on right now. So it reflects the story line. It is subject to change though. lol

When the dragon roars,
And the phoenix soars,
When the griffon bleeds,
And the unicorn weeps,

When the gate is sealed,
And the key revealed,
When the shadows fall,
And the darkness calls,

When veins that bear the cursed blood,
And tears are cried like a flood,
When forsaken royalty discovers the truth,
And rises up despite her youth,

When blood is no longer thicker than water,
And past events make life harder,
When the path is paved with blood and tears,
The fate of Elswire is ever near.

Hmm..perhaps it sounds somewhat depressing? Dunno...

It's good. Doesn't sound too depressing to me (maybe because I can handle it). If I still had my "sig poem", I'd show it to you because I did some revisions for it for my Exploring Poetry class (which I barely passed by the way).
