[Tainted Wisdom]

Once upon a time, is now a dream.

Every mile, is now a memory.

Aa time we shared, is now rare.

Now I'm standing there, emptiness all around.

If they won't bring you back to me

Then they can bring the curtains down.

[Kitty]

Everything past

Time shall last

His will and Mine

Following the same line

Our paths Intwined

And our future Shines

Forever and always

[Tainted Wisdom]

There was a vegan named hugh

he looked at his food and said,

OMGWTFBBQ.

[Sander]

[spoiler=I felt all poetry like!]In the deepest pits of Hell,

he was crying, feeling sad for himself,

felt sorry for himself that he lost.

 

Day after day, he cursed,

upon the sky, he screamed,

with all his might, he swore revenge.

 

Centuries passed by like a day,

and yet, the pain didn't go away,

it grew and grew, consuming him.

 

Centuries of planning the perfect revenge,

planning whilst still feeling the pain,

he couldn't take it anymore.

 

One day, after gathering the army,

he headed for the surface,

only to head for the sky's for revenge.

 

After arriving at the Gates to Afterlife,

he ordered to take it down, and swarm Heaven,

to kill, mutilate anything in sight.

 

He screamed out his name,

only to see a flash of bright light,

and being banished to Hell again.

 

In the deepest pits of Hell again,

shackled down, crying,

screaming for revenge for all eternity.

Licorice

 

Once i had a fish

it was a very pretty fish

and it's name wasn't dish

he was called licorice!

 

Once i had a bowl

my fish was in the bowl

the top of it had a hole

at the top of my little bowl

 

Once i had a grave

a very little grave

i was very brave

with death, my emotions waved

 

for my poor goldfish named licorice :,(

I don't really know why looking up is looking down

I turn around and try to find myself and frown

I can't seem to remember where the door was I just walked through

I can't seem to see beyond this fish-eye lens I've brought you

Can you tell where we are, through this white little screen

Lost in the voyeuristic gluttony of this impending machine?

I push away the curtains at the edge of the seam

As the windows turning inward break down in the sieve.

And I'm outside now, I can't really remember how it happened

Looking down on Earth as it goes through Armageddon

Eschatology was never my favorite subject in Church

I never really listened, I just watched as the hearse

After hearse drove by, pulling out of the morgue

That's a pretty damn bleak thing for a little boy just past four.

But I don't know if it killed me, or just gave me a mind

To ditch the sick perversion that I found deep inside

And, give myself up to the comforting lies

That no one was accountable and everything was fine.

And I, see now that I may just have been mistaken

Letting myself fall back into dreams when I am waking.

It might have just been better to turn over in my head.

And pull the trigger down as I just wish I was dead

Now I watch the world exploding like the windows before.

Falling out the Universe and into nothing more

It's really pretty bleak for a little man I am now

Can't see what I'm supposed to do as I float weightless like I do now

I may just pray for gravity to take me to the end

Because anything is better than the nothing that I'm in.

 

 

 

 

Just totally made this up just now.

[Huntar!]

Nice poem, bro.

[Lemniscate]

Thanks, It was totally on the spot, making it up while typing. ;D

[Icy]

Not by me, but I was asked to post this poem...

 

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood' date='

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth.

 

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same.

 

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

 

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Ah, good old Robert Frost.

Nice poem, my only problem with it would be that it's a bit overdone, people use it too much.

 

I would post "Howl", just to spark a discussion, but I am fairly sure it violates YCM's rules.

For those of you who now what "Howl" is, what are your thoughts?

[Kitty]

^ I agree, if i know the poem and actually understand it it's used way to much xD

 

Howl

 

I read the first few lines then stopped =/

[Lemniscate]

Howl has one of the strangest and most innovative meters I've seen, but the overall styling and content are a bit much. The part about "Saintly motorcyclists" is something that befuddles me, as far as is concerning the reasoning to putting it in there.

That poem has more allusions than most literary works I've read.

Yes I see what you mean. =/ And it too long to just sit here and read.

[Lemniscate]

Yeah, being split into three parts the way it is, it is more of a short story written in a breathy meter than a poem. I actually wouldn't have read it, but they talked about it a bit on my favorite show, The West Wing, in the episode "The U.S. Poet Laureate" and so I was interested.

[Kitty]

okay then

 

Oh i found a William Shakespeare Poem

 

Here

 

If the dull substance of my flesh were thought' date='

Injurious distance should not stop my way.

For then, despite of space, I would be brought

From limits far remote where thou dost stay.

No matter then although my foot did stand

Upon the farthest earth removed from thee.

For nimble thought can jump both sea and land

As soon as think the place where he would be.

But, ah, thought kills me, that I am not thought,

To leap large length of miles when thou art gone,

But that, so much of earth and water wrought,

I must attend times leisure with my moan,

Receiving naught by elements so slow

But heavy tears, badges of either's woe.

[/Quote']

[Brushfire]

If you're wondering, I was the one who requested that Icy post that Poem. It's a truly wonderful Poem that really got me thinking about what route I wanted to go in life. Also, you guys really have no need to move on from Poem to Poem so much- there's plenty to discuss.

 

Ah' date=' good old Robert Frost.

I'll have to admit that I wouldn't know if people used it too much, I'm not too sure where to even find out that kind of information, but I don't scratch over the Poem area much.

[Dark]

A well, so deep.

Water falls.

Drip, drop.

You hear a sound.

You see the ripples.

So quiet, so majestic.

The water falls again.

This time sharper.

And with a painful sound.

The water falls again.

This time louder.

And with less rhythm.

The water falls again.

The sound stings.

The look of it disgusts you.

The water falls again.

You cannot take the pain.

You look into the well.

The water is red.

I found this poem in one of my Lit books and I read it and liked it so I'ma post it

 

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer's lease hath all too short a date.

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimmed;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed:

But thy eternal summer shall not fade

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,

Nor shall Death brag thou wand'rest in his shade

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

 

-William Shakespeare

[Dark]

No one commented on my poem. D:

 

I liked it. =]

How many people actually know what Shakesphere is saying in the first line?

 

He's obviously hitting on some chick and telling her she's hot. amirite?

[Dark]

What I drew from that line was the Shakespeare was saying the girl was so hot (pretty), that he sweat whenever he saw her, like he sweat during a summer day. :/
