The Poets Laureate: [Please Lock]

Recommended Posts

I'd like to join...

 

And if you dont mind, I have a poem...

 

Watching you here, in the dark

Seeing him makes me stark.

Thinking starts to make me greedy

In your case it makes me needy.

Damn, I need you more than air.

His love to mine can't even compare.

An addiction without a drug

I want more than a friend and a hug.

 

simple rhyme scheme... I dont like the 5th or 6th line though.

You're in. And if anything, I like the 5th and 6th best. It gives the poem some actual attitude! I would fix the 2nd line, though.. Sounds wrong..

 

@ Avanz: True. Sometimes longer poems are much better.

 

@ .::Spawn::.: Lol, okay. I'll keep that in mind. ^_^

Hey can I join?

 

I am only 12 and am not very good at this "poem" thing but i'll give it a go.

 

These trenches are but wet and cold.

My mind is set on the truth.

We are going to die out here.

I am a "Doomed youth".

 

As I shoot these anxious bullets.

One bomb gets thrown ahead.

We all tried to get away,

but all seemed dead.

 

Where is the victory we were promised.

I am still not proud.

My coffin set and the music rings.

I am but lonley in this crowd.

A bit of me dies, everyday.

Seeing you with him like that.

 

Saying you love him.

 

Well thats not the game I play.

I hope you see this world's not flat.

 

Say that to someone else.

 

Of all the fish in the sea.

You can't see one thats always there.

 

Pick a new fish.

 

Im not here to get greedy.

Im just saying that we should dare.

 

Pick this fish.

 

Maybe I have missed my chance.

Maybe I've run out of time.

 

You really like him, dont you?

 

Should I quit these thoughts of romance?

Should I step out of this line?

 

But I really like you.

 

No, I will not quit today.

At least not without a fight.

 

Saying you love me.

he hasn't been online to respond to that yet. -.-"


I am just one of many.

Who follow you around.

 

All seeking your attention.

All seeking whats not found.

 

As much as I try to stand out.

I blend in with the crowd.

 

As much as my voice is spoken.

Not once can it be loud.

 

I know that I am noticed.

But no more than anyother.

 

She just make me feel special.

And that is why I love her.

 

Even though she loves him.

I will one day win her heart.

 

But until that very day.

I shall play my side smart.

 

------------

 

Its not done yet. There are still 6 more lines, unfinished.

It really depends what it is... PM me.

 

@ Hunter: Ah, young love.. ^_^

Very nice. You express your feelings well!

 

I have a love poem too, but I'm not gonna post it. ^_^

Here's another of mine though.

 

Sillytown:

 

 

Once I went to Sillytown

to see the silly people.

I also saw their silly church

beneath its silly steeple.

 

The silly doctors of the town

all worked at silly hours,

and silly girls went all around

to sell their silly flowers.

 

The Very Silly Mayor said,

“ I fear we’re all absurd.

The visitors are moving,

‘least that’s the silly word.”

 

The silly papers printed it

in great big silly type.

The silly anchors screamed it

on TV most every night.

 

The silly girls were selling flowers

“All At Discount Price!”

The silly doctors gave “Free House-Calls”

In order to be nice.

 

The Mayor was discouraged

“This has never happened, Never!”

All his plans had come to naught

Why, they were sillier than ever!

 

Just then he got a great idea!

This one was a jewel!

Instead of being really nice,

we’ll try out being cruel!

 

The little girls soon started selling

putrid globs of slime.

The doctors started yelling

at their patients all the time.

 

Sillytown did not do very well

needless to say.

The Mayor soon retired

and left the USA.

 

So I went back from where I came

as quickly as a bird.

For I have learned my lesson now.

“Don’t ever be absurd.”

HAHA! I remember silly town! :D

 

 

1 Stanza poems are fun too! :) Like this 5 lines one I did just now, on the spot! :D

 

Heliocentricity

 

Eyed in central point

in all perspective and base.

Flaring brightly with no out-run.

Galacticly central to the face,

exactly like our sun.

 

 

 

I know, it doesn't make any sense. :D THAT"S THE POINT!

Here,There,Everywhere

I look here

I look there

I look everywhere

 

I look here and see the ground

I look there and see the sky

I look everywhere and see nature

 

I look here and see a bike

I look there and see cars

I look everywhere and see vehicles

 

I look here and see mom

I look there and see dad

I look everywhere and see family

 

 

Sincerely,

fit8

@ your suggestion: GOOD GOD, NO!! I'd rather keep it classy and dignified. (Only real poets know what the word "laureate" means.)

 

Your poem is fine. I'd get rid of the vehicle verse, if I were you. I doesn't sound poetic. Put something else there instead?

[spoiler=Beware the Spoiler]Staying in my room,

my coffin of solitude.

“I could read a book,”

I think to myself.

 

Books screaming for

attention, like Howler monkeys.

My dad tells me to

clean this pigsty before

eating.

 

Whoa!

It’s 6:20, and I have ten minutes!

My dad will be mad,

but this monotonous feeling

comes quickly

and goes slowly.

 

I get off the floor

to clean the floor.

I need to do more,

but I’m so…

 

Bored.

 

Pick up this and that

finally the reward.

 

Cold Beef.

Heart

[align=center]His body cold as ice

Feet burning hot by friction

His distant eyes that of a rogue wolf

And heart burning with love

He finds his home in the cold Arctic

His lean body up against the cold walls

Yet he still holds that ring

No heat has left or touched his body

His soul lost still in that battle

Yet he forever waits

his Eyes weary from loss of sleep

Silver guns dropped by his hand start to rust

His body weak of starvation

Yet he still remains in that spot

A woman soon finds him

Same attitude different face

The hunter rises and the lover grasps him

He is taken to her home where she fed and loved him

Yet outside in a chair he still waits

His eyes looking always at the stars

Searching and waiting for his lost love[/align]

well what does laureate mean?

what could i put instead of vihicles.

 

Look it up. >_>

Also, the choice is up to you.

 

@ .::Spawn::.: LOL, I love it! I think we all can relate to this poem! ^_^

 

@ .:Haruki Adachi:.: ....Yes, You May....

I like your poem! It's very mysterious!

One thing: You constantly say he's either hot or cold. What is he?

[align=center]Sonnet. Lunar

 

 

 

A lustrous orb suspended in the sky

Lights up the Earth with it's resplendent rays,

And guards over the night from up on high

By seeming to set the whole sky ablaze.

From dusk till dawn, the rising of the sun,

She bathes the world with her sweet misty light.

At the gold morn, she knows her work is done,

And seems to vanish with the close of night.

The sky is bright, the moon is in her den.

Among the restless stars she softly treads,

And waits till she can light the world again

While all the world is sleeping in their beds.

If you look out the window some night soon,

Look up into the sky and thank the moon.[/align]
