Thanks a bunch, I'll make some stuff up, throw some subjects at me http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif


Err I also edited the first one, It might sound better http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/unsure.gif
A Life Long Wait
Never wanting to hurt you I did.
Afraid that you weren't happy,
I ran from the problems there were.
We need each other more then ever,
But forever didn't seem for sure.
No matter what I said I will stay,
Just because I always need you,
Yet I know you need me too.
As I lay in the damp grass I pray,
Only to be there when you see,
There I will be, waiting under that tree.
Staring into the abyss,
Waiting for the day we'll be together again.
That day where we can share that kiss,
We shared with each other long ago.
For I hope that day will come soon,
But for now I can only wait for you.
Neither of us feel at home,
Because we both know we're alone.

Lets see can you write a poem about having sex..but making it clean

or a poem about ninjas

Tippo
Wed, 12-03-2003, 02:12 AM
Hmmm... Lets see... Ninjas I'll make sex next http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif



There they wait in the sky...
Stealth like a bird,
Then begin to fly.
From house to house,
From roof to roof;
They show off talents,
Then begin to move.
Striking last of their prey,
They have no longer to stay.
No sweat on their face,
They leave with no trace.



Stealth Ninjas own. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif

Tippo
Wed, 12-03-2003, 02:23 AM
Lol, thanks a bunch... Ok I&#39;ll try with sex. lol.



A silent kiss with tender care,
Lures itself into a slender lair.
Soft as a bunny,
Hard as a rock.
They begin to move,
Resembling a flock.
Passion rises as they fall,
With love all over,
They begin to crawl.
Heat steams the room,
With sweat all over...
They can just resume.
Finally it ends,
With a kiss and a shove.
Just goes to show,
How people make love.




Hehehe, I totally did this one fast. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif Hope you like it.

I Once Kissed You[U]
I once kissed you
Now I scorn you
You once gave me everything
Now you give me nothing
We once cared about how and where the sun rised and set in our skies
Now we could care less if it even came up at all
I once held you in my small arms
Now I would strangle you with the hands that are bound by them
You once cried when I almost left this world
Now you would laugh
We once created memories together
Now we try desperately to make them disappear



Ok I am not as talented as you help me&#33;&#33;&#33; I have another one I wrote when I was a senior in high school..it is funny..if i find it i will post

Oh boo. Haha, I&#39;ll try even though I&#39;ve only surfed a few times.



As the bright sun hits the water,
Wave by wave goes in.
Tempting,
Teasing,
Awaiting the time of sin.
Taking to water,
You&#39;re determined to win.
You fight the waves with great power,
Yet the ocean starts it&#39;s devour.
Slowly it comes to an end,
Heart beating fast,
The ocean becomes your friend.



Erm I wouldn&#39;t know, so I hope you like it. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif (school sucked http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

&quot;I am the shadow walking around..
I am the shadow evry one is talking about.
I am the shadow who walkes silently around.
Even the cat dont notise me now.

I walk in the late night.
Even in the rain.
I walk around in the forrest,
and the trees wiphers my name.&quot;

I always walk in total black with a long black cope.
Evry body in the neighborhood is afraid of me.
So this is my poem.

I ran from the problems there were.
We need each other more then ever,
But forever didn&#39;t seem for sure.
No matter what I say I will stay,
Just because I always need you.
In the green grass I shall lay,
Only to be there when you see,
There I will be forever under that tree.
Staring into the abyss,
Waiting for the day we will be together again.

We shared with each other long ago.

But for now I can only wait for you.

<u>Night by the Waters Edge</u>
The waves hold my naked body
The wind kissing my breasts
Silky spider webs of hair fall about my face in this salty embrace
Your eyes hold my face and I no longer feel alone in the vast sea
Your soft hand playing with my lips
Your words tempting my heart
Every nerve in my body being filled with the love that surrounds me
Our bodies glistening in the soft moonlight



This was publish in a small poetry book here locally. I guess I&#39;ll put it up for criticism..

<u>Self Corruption</u>
Every night I sit and sigh,
Every night I lye and cry.
Dont ask why...
As I stare into this bloodshed knife,
I see my self corrupted life.
Dont ask why...
I want sit and sigh,
I want to lye and cry.
I want you to know why,
I just wanna die.
Leave me be,
Leave me alone,
Let me die on my own.
I needed you,
I wanted you...
Theres nothing I can do.
Please back off,
Let me die alone.
And when i die,
You and only you shall know why.

Thank you again Tippo&#33; I love to surf and I do it all summer long&#33;&#33; I think you did a great job&#33; Well I can&#39;t stay on long in the hospital but i will have some stuff to post hopefully tommorrow&#33;&#33; Have a great week&#33;


I have nothing to offer
except simple words of truth
No gifts from the fruits that
I bear within
You can have anything that you want but
you can&#39;t touch my heart
It has been hurt one to many times
to let someone in
Everything may seem as though it is done in vain
but it isn&#39;t
Time can cure about anything
And the broken heart that
burdens me will
one day be healed
And then those words I offer
will seem like more
then the day that I told them to you

So I have been writing stuff today and it is all kinda random... Please review God Tippo: http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif

You, you with your looks, your touch, your words that moved my heart
You, you who forced me to look into my soul
to learn about how I worked
You, you with all of your love sealed in a kiss
You, you who makes my heart skip, and my hands go numb
You, you who changed me by loving me for who I am

<u>Old bags</u>

Tired of caring the bags under my eyes
tired of the burden my heart has when ever you walk by
The sweet tasting smiles that once greeted me now have faded
into evil heart wrenching stares that pierce my fleshy skin
every day i see your face
Laughs that I oce shared are no longer there
I can no longer look at your sweet child like face and see a naive girl
because all I see now is the face of a bitter old maid

GamaKichi
Thu, 12-04-2003, 11:20 AM
These are some more random things that i wrote today...i don’t know if they are poems.

-suicide is our ultimate sacrifice to ourselves
-laughter is used only to cover up the unhappiness in our lives
-crying is the only emotion that allows us to clean our hearts


running away from me when i needed you the most
no pillars to hole me up
life drifting into the abyss
suicide is every where
no one to lean on
no one is speaking
the quietness is made
from the lies from honest people
people i trust
people i love
you no longer throw flower petals where i walk
now i no longer feel like a god
i am no longer worshiped
by those i pulled into my ice cold touch

I fear that we are drifting
Like the driftwood at sea
Further and further apart

I fear that those long pauses
Are too long and will
One day turn into a nothing

I fear that my heart like so many other things
Has gone back to stone
For I feel as though I cannot
Forgive

I fear that your love
Has been lost or will be lost
like the driftwood
On the open sea

<span style='font-family:Arial'>I never seem to experience the amount of sadness that I have when with someone that I love.
Never scared that the inevitable will happen and I am all alone again.
Even though I find someone to fill the gap, he always ends up leaving me alone once again.
Always the same story told to me about how he has fallen in love with me and how he will never hurt me but it seems as though they would leave if the moment were just right.
Never finding what I was truly looking for.
So young and immature are they to what my ideal must be.
Unfortunately, they would leave me and once again, and I would be all alone.
It is not just the boys that fill the void of love but friends as well.
They leave me too.
I try to learn to love and trust but the same thing always happens they leave me alone once again.
To be free from my own thoughts would be better.
To find the part of me that is not afraid of being alone.
Trying to make solitude a part of the void, to fill what others cannot.
Everyone is always caught up in their own worlds so they are never worried about killing someone else’s dreams or even hurting what is left of their spirit.
Never scared that someday it may just end up being turned around on them.
And I will leave them all alone for the first time.
Not scared of hurting their spirit or walking all over their dreams this time.</span>

all i have to say is, i suck at poetry. the only reason im posting this is because i got bored one day and decided to write this after watching monty python&#39;s flying circus episode 15. its really badly written but hey, its the best a horrible poet like me could do. and sorry for the errors in grammar and punctuation.

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION&#33;
with great haste they&#39;ll put you in a relaxing position
they&#39;ll fetch the comfiest of comfy chairs
why are they so kind? no one knows, NO ONE CARES&#33;

they&#39;ll poke you with cushions in a diabolic way
they&#39;ll serve you some tea at about mid-day
why are they caring? why are they tame?
fear not, good fellow, they&#39;ve no plan to mame

they&#39;ll tie you down to a torturous rack
they&#39;ll treat you quite nice, ferocity they lack
they&#39;ll turn the rack without delay
they&#39;re confident that you, indeed will pay

amongst their weaponry is the element of surprise
another is fear, another is lies
they show fanatical devotion to the pope
their nice red uniforms, unsoiled i hope

herecy and witchcraft are among what they accuse
yet such harmless and unusual methods they use
once in their captivity, theres no need to run away
for the spanish inquisition, things never go their way

You have all made some way cool poems. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/happy.gif;
Here&#39;s one i had posted on my DA Account and is probably my best one. It&#39;s called: Questioned Love

&quot;Today i have to ask you,
Would it matter to you anyway?
Would you care if i loved you as you are?
Would you accept, and in response also care?
May i ask you a question which i fear to ask?
Who are you behind that mask?

When you know, let me understand.
When you know, hold my hand.
When you know, hug me close,
When you know, Take this Rose.
For it&#39;s beauty represent what you can be,
Just as long as you stick with me.

Today i need to know.
Do you know the way i feel, and how?
Tell me what you dream at night,
Do you dream of us in a fight?
Or do you dream of us together,
When you turn off the light.
Do you dream of us as birds of a feather,
Looking into our eyes, never losing sight.

When you know, let me dream it too.
When you know, let me be with you.
When you know, ask me too.
When you know, let me dream with you.
For my dreams of you when you&#092;&#39;re not near,
Is all i see, and all i ever hear.

Now you&#39;ve told me, i must but ask.
Will this love we have be up to the task?
It dosn&#39;t matter, let us try our best.
Let&#39;s let life do the rest.
Let us run away together into the night.
Let the last things we see when we turn off the light.
Be of each other, and nothing else.&quot;

so bored, that i had to look up this 3 year old thread up, anyways don't expect much from this, it's just something i thought up in 5 minutes, it's short, didn't think about making 1 big huge poem, just short and straight to the point. no experience in poetry what so ever, boredom makes me do weird things.

my heart hurts,
pain and sorrow,
i didn't know what it was at first,
i was just a kid,
didn't think about it at first,
but it started hurtin',
it made me curse,
my eyes burst,
friends hurt.
my happiness disappeared,
started to fear,
that it will take the little left I hold dear

A little something from a while back, had something buzzing in my head so I thought a little poetry ought to fix it. Worked like a charm.


Never Coming

The sun so high,
I wish for a lot.
For it to come down,
and rid me from cold.
To see the life so far away,
I hope for it to rid me of nightmares.
I guess dreams will always be dreams.
Only visions…
…visions forever…
hoping for it to come to me.

But will it come?
Wonderful dreams torture me,
always crying each time.
To know the world I just saw,
will never arrive.
Can’t dreams come true?
Can’t the seen vision come to us?
Always staring up at the dream,
the beautiful nightmare.

well, it's been awhile but ever since Lobster Magnet made that Short Story thread I have been thinking about sharing some of my writing with you all. Being a social sciences major I absolutely consider writing an important tool, in all of its variations. However, I really don't believe I have the skill (nor the desire) to be a writer or anything serious like that.

Nonetheless, about a year ago I took two Creative Writing courses at my college. They were each half dedicated to poetry and half to short stories.

Now I really never liked poetry. In fact, I always just assumed I hated it. But being forced to sit and read and reflect on poetry my peers had made (and forced to make my own), I came to have some appreciation for it. I still believe it is too 'airy' and often lacks the concreteness that spoken word should convey. But I also believe that 'brevity is the soul of wit', and poetry is often able to say with 3 words what a story says in 30. I also appreciate (although I'm not very good at it) the artistic ability of making things rhyme. Thus most of the poems I will share here are rhyming poems.

Here is one that I actually got published in my school paper. It's sort of a satire on the college drinking habits/weekend activities and its baseness

Reflection on a Milwaukee’s Beast

Where’s my nice shirt? Where’s my nice shirt?
Shower and dress, don’t be looking a mess!
You need to look good to find a nice lass
Fancy yourself up and go get some ass!

Who’s 21? Who’s 21?
Want some drinks? Fake IDs and smooth winks!
With that I can waltz through any bar door
So let’s race to the nearby liquor store!

Where’s the mixer? Where’s the mixer?
Tequila and lime, they make me feel sublime!
Chug-a-lug gulp, pre-game is almost past
We all get shit-faced; it’s a crazy blast!

Where’s the party? Where’s the party?
We’ll play beer pong, pound brew all night long!
If the frat is cool, the guys promise to pledge
Or puke the fake vow off their balcony ledge!

Dance with me? Dance with me?
What’d you come here for? The same as me, to score!
We’ll stumble in the dark and I’ll step on your shoes
I would never have such courage without the booze!

Come back to my place? Come back to my place?
Clothes in a pile, your mouth tastes like bile!
Still its ecstasy here with you, and of this there’s no doubt
Ignore my restraints and fears, that’s what Saturday’s about!

Morning already? Morning already?
What the hell is the time? Almost a quarter past nine!
I feel nothing for you, and you seem the same I’m quite sure
No need to exchange numbers before you walk out the door.

What’s it all worth? What’s it all worth?
Drink your brain ‘til it’s dirt, chase anything in a skirt!
It’s revolting vile cheap; but we repeat every damn week.
It’s the highlight of our youth! Don’t tell me this is our peak!

I feel sick. I feel sick.
My gut and my head, I fall back in my bed
There’s something so wrong, I know it, moreover
I have a feeling it’s not only a hangover

Mighty Mute Girl

Little mute girl
is a super hero,
with a polka dot
cape knotted
around her neck.
She carefully checks
the air, licking
and sticking her index
finger. Testing.

High and low,
she looks down
and frowns,
counts her little fingers
from one to ten
(her numbers of flight),
again and again.

Finally! It’s time! she cries,
(her silent super hero
battle cry). With one
foot on the bed,
she leaps, and spreads
her legs and arms
and flies.
------------------------------------------------------------
After-running Shoes

My sneakers are dirty
from all the walking and running
I’ve done. Mud clings to the sides of
my shoes with dried up leaves and dead
branches. Distorted joints of lifeless
bugs’ bodies stick to my soles as I
stumble upon the hard cement floor.

This is life: huffing and puffing,
panting, out of breath.

I see dog shit near the
lamp post out of the corner of
my eye. I don’t want to walk into
that. But somehow my foot slips.

My shoes are no longer
white, like they used to be.

A strategic system that strain the
brain, bold barricades boldly
hold my heart hostage
I victim is vengeance my vendetta to vain
thoughts trained taught to
face the facts and to freeze my feeling
puzzling pieces to put into position of a perfect portrait
of peace or at least a acknowledgment ahead
that destiny discovers our demise
live life lonely, lack of laughing
homes halfway built, broken, burnt
down. . . defenseless ,denial, depressing
a dark dense, downpour on
Stony steps stumbling and slipping into

Subconscious . . . supernatural it seems,
I confined In my conscious cause coldness
Cover and embrace the entity in everyone eyes.
The sun will shine star’s will still be glistening
Gathering of nothing necessary, vocal cords vanish in vain
And my pen will always be flowing with pain
Why we water our words down diluting its potential state.

Melodies of life

Alone for a while I've been searching through the dark
For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart
To weave by picking up the pieces that remain
Melodies of life, love's lost refrain.

Our paths they did cross, though I cannot say just why.
We met, we laughed, we held on fast, and then we said goodbye.
And who'll hear the echoes of stories never told?
Let them ring out loud till they unfold.
In my dearest memories, I see you reaching out to me
Though you're gone, I still believe that you can call out my name

A voice from the past, joining yours and mine
Adding up the layers of harmony
And so it goes, on and on
Melodies of life,
To the sky beyond the flying birds, forever and beyond.

So far and away, see the bird as it flies by
Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky
I've laid my memories and dreams upon those wings
Leave them now and see what tomorrow brings.
In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me?
Was it fate that brought us close and now leaves me behind?

A voice from the past, joining yours and mine
Adding up the layers of harmony
And so it goes, on and on
Melodies of life,
To the sky beyond the flying birds--forever and beyond

If I should leave this lonely world behind
Your voice will still remember our melody
Now I know we'll carry on
Melodies of life
Come circle round and grow deep in our hearts
As long as we remember

Well I believe that's a question directed at me DB am I right? Since your asking what goes on in my mind that made me spark up the poem thread at that particular time is simpliy I wanted to share my poetry.

I did some research to find out there was a similar thread related topic already made, therefore instead of making a whole new thread I thought to myself that I should just put the old thread to use.

I feel like you are a real poet. Your work reminds me of the old poems we did in school that we had to analyze and really understand them. *re-reads it* I think I'll save it to my computer...

On the topic of poetry, I don't write it, but I *love* reading it.(I also memorize all my favourite poems). I don't have any favourite poets but favourite poems.

A few would be 'Because I could not stop for death' by Emily Dickinson , 'Life is fine' by Langston Hughes, 'Follower' by Seamus Heaney and 'It is better to be together'(I don't know the poet). And of course, my all time favourite, The Donkey by G.K.Chesterton.

EDIT, I forgot Outwitted! by Edwin Markham.

He drew a circle that shut me out —
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in!

Do you want to perhaps publish a book of poetry in the future? I could see children in the future doing your poems for English. XD

I thought about publishing a book, but now that you mention it that's not a bad idea. Majority of my poetry is either self-relfection on how I feel at that point in time or advocating. thank you so much for the support your really sweet.

I'll make an effort to read through all the sections.

Do you have any favourites poems or poets, Paper?

The rose that grew from concrete by Tupac Shakur and I'm a fan of Maya Angelou poetry as well as Edgar Allan Poe I basicly have a whole list lol.

pleasure turns to the pain
lessons learned from the strain
questions burned in my brain..
about whether love is humane
in its touch.
these thoughts are like salmon swimming upstream
in the tears of your deceit.
fighting the current hurt that kills more than is created by the chaos
of our intertwined emotions.
chaotic because the anchor of Erros' arrow has been plucked
from the vessel of my undying infatuation
separation not as simple as the distance between us
my mind no longer possessed by demons
that have been the overseers of my enslavement to your lies
the seeds of these lies rooted so deeply
they have cracked the foundation of what we once shared
allowing the faith in us i had sealed inside
to gush out like a river
ripping the image of our future together from my thoughts
as violently and as brutally as if it were a child
being taken from its mothers arms
im left surrounded in darkness
but i refuse to be swallowed by it
my lonliness like the night air
invisible to the eye
obvious to the touch
it is cold uncomfortableness
yet if i could do it all over again
id do it in the same skin im in
to lay down and let love die
just stay down and let love lie?
no, no..not i
id stay around and let love fly
even though i have seen its darkest form
deceit
nothing else could taste this warm
or feel this sweet...

Reagrding Edgar Allan Poe...did he write about necrophillia? I've heard people say that, but I'm not sure.

I'm not really sure, the poems that I read from him didn't really contain any particular lines that had to do with necrophillia but at the same time I wouldn't be suprise if it did :D

All I have to say is, G to the A to the Y. Guys shouldn't be even talking about this stuff unless it resulted in a romp in the sack with a fine young piece from a university on a long weekend trip.

Enough said.

Normally I'd agree with you but the way you put it makes me have to disagree. Plus it tells me you've never been to a university or had any romps or long weekend trips.

Poetry's arguably the most beautiful forms of literature. Song lyrics are a form of poetry. It's this sort of attitude why in-depth song lyrics are now few and far between. No one bothers to learn it, and no one appreciates it.

This is...a joke right? Do women still fall for poetry? I mean, I love reading it, but if I guy said "Here, I wrote you poem", it's BYE BYE. Seriously. Come on.

I agree here. But you know, when you hear songs today, they really hardly have any [serious] in-depth meaning. They either focus on the music and beat only OR the lyrics only.
And people seem to go for the music. Nobody wants to think when they're dancing. =)

I have heard some great songs with catchy beats but the lyrics...eh.

Gotta Make Time
======================
Running a mile ahead
Can't seem to stop
There's something I must do
Something that has to be done
Run, run, and run some more

I got there but it was late
Everything's been finished
I weeped in despair
My wife comforted me
Since her birthday was over
======================
