Post and Recieve critique if you like, or jsut come to discuss some of the greatest *cough*dead*cough* poets of all times like Shakespear and Edgar Allan Poe. Or, just chit chat.

Well, we can post our own poems, can't we? I mean... not that I am a good poet or anything sweatdrop

Hmmm.... I'll get started off, maybe hlep get tohers comfortable. Would love critique on this piece. I wrote it the other day and i hope you all enjoy! its a little dark, but dark things tend to make me feel better once i get all bad feelings out on paper.


Learn To Laugh

I lap up the blood
as it slides ever so slowly
failing to clot right away
our dark reunion is menacing to all
but me as I drink

Leaving red lines on white
the blood seems to scorch my skin
but the pain is nothing
not after this hell
that was forced on me

the guilt tastes so sour
the hatred so sweet
the mix is delicious
I have no more air
as my blood continues to spill

it was all too much
nothing was worth wasting my breath
not him
not her
not anyone

so I’m dying now
no thanks to you anyways
licking up my pain
as it trickles down my wrist
will I go to heaven

what is heaven?
will it be white and fluffy
or just blackness for eternity
who cares…
I’m dying now because that’s all I want
to die
escape for a moment
a lifetime
and maybe
just maybe
learn to laugh and smile again
and I do
I cackle one last time
as the last drop of blood
slides down my throat

Here's a poem I wrote in class, just one of those quick write assignments that never get turned in unless you want to for fun. It's free verse. Thanks for reading!^^

Autumn Moments


Leaves gather across the yard
Gold, yellow red and brown

Fresh wind drifting smoke and spicy hints
From the burning cedar fire near by

Rustle, crunching and scraping of the rocks
As I rake up each leaf

Crisp cold air in my lungs and on my skin
The smooth wood of the rake in my hands

I wonder when it will all be done
And if the wind blow my work away

Leaving me no choice
But to begin once more…

wow... that is deep... and I love it! blaugh Anyway, here is mine,

Only seen at night
Big and very bright
But I am always hear
Watching over you near and dear.
One is a million,
A million is a billion,
but all you see is one.
Like one small sun...

It is a star, by the way. It was meant to be a riddle when I made it.

Lol I made this a long time ago and I have always had it memorized, so I guessed I'd just post it! mrgreen

Here's another poem I wrote, it was for a contest on here and it got me to the next round so I guess I'll post it here. Enjoy! xd

A Star

I look into a lifeless sky,
not wanting to see any light.

I look upon the landscape's scars,
only horrors run through my mind.

I look to where the children played,
but only once living bodies remain.

I look back to the sky,
there is a glimmer of light.

I hope it's just a star,
but the siren wails.

I hope it will pass us by,
but nothing will change its course.

I hope to find some shelter,
but there is none.

I hope to see my child again,
but now I'm gone.

Wow Aliya, that was awesome!



Here's one i wrote just barely

unloved

How could a boy love someone so imperfect?
with all the wrong blemishes
like zits and sun scars
someone who stands on unstable battel ground
and strives to be noticed but once
who cant fit in the 'small' the world demands
who's cottage cheese legs dont appeal to the miniskirt
with crooked teeth and unfocoused eyes
with hands bigger then mans
and 'big foot' left feet
how could a boy love someone so insane?
who wears unmatching socks
and talks to herself in the quietest hours
who writes unread tears
and sheds giggles like there's no tomorrow
who gets called the fruitcake freak behind her back
who sings unearthed songs
and smokes others emotions
who is loud, crazy, and obnoxious
how could a boy love someone so unpretty?
how could a boy love someone so different?
how could a boy love me...

That one's funny the way you described this girl, course it's also sad since she's made fun of and it's her writing the poem, one of her unread tears.

Hmmm... I have a bunch of poems, but the one that really comes from the heart is this one...


Round and round and round you prance
Ephemeral as the breeze
You make your steps a complicated dance
Your movements wrote with ease

Knowing you must be made of lies
I stand with mouth agape
Hardly able to believe my eyes
As round and round you trapse
Moving along your favorite path
Gracing me with youor beloved smile
You wink at me and start to laugh
And I stand, disbelieving, all the while

Terrified you'll fade away
Afraid that you might break
Or disappear with the dying day
I offer a hand that you might take
But it passes through you as you move about
Your image begins to die
All around me lights go out
Alone in the dark, I cry


Thats what I wrote after my cat died. I always thought of him as a person.

Katta, your poetry always tends to leave me breathless when i read it!

I wrote this one about rain, i also wrote it a long time ago, so I hope I can remember it, because besides in my head, I dont know where else I could find it!
well, I will go quickly look in my ... room (shudder)...

I'm beautiful, I'm glorious, I make you very happy
When you see me your mood turns the opposite of crabby.
I could be for a minuet, or maybe a whole day,
You might just end up saying, It takes my breath away!
Plink plat, pitter patter, I make a lovely sound,
This should give me away, I like to fall on the ground.
Where ever I tread I leave a big big mess,
Some people love it but I leave the others in distress.
I bring life and I give growth where ever I walk,
Patter patter patter is my lovely talk.
When I come around, you are happy to have a roof over your head
I bet most think that when they are trying to go to bed.
I suppose I can't blame you for thinking that thought,
But my peace and happiness just isn't bought.
All that I ask is that you be glad when i come around town.
Give me a chance, I swear I wont let you down!
Just think about all that I do for you!
Think think you'll find it's really true.

Be warned, I will soon have to edit this, because I just have the rough draft, and the final copy is much better, but Mom has it and she won't get out of bed just yet to get and she won't tell me where it is, so...

Awesome Red!
Here's a poem i wrote in creative writing class today




Sorrow croons as love begs
Sweeping the daises away
Dropping the photo into flames

Sorrow croons as love begs
Singing towards the clouds
Smiling at the passing crowd

Sorrow croons as love begs
Loosing grip on the world’s floor
Hiding fast behind a closed door

Sorrow croons as love begs
Holding hands with fate
Hoping—praying it’s not too late

Sorrow croons as love begs
Crying softly into one's hands
Running off with a stranger to a different land

Sorrow croons as love begs
