Poetry

I have been writing poems for a long time now I have moved from poetry to songs and vice versa. But I have never really 'followed' any pattern that I laid down for myself outside of whatever I feel the first bar sets. So I wanted to ask if anyone knew anyways to learn, develop and master new schemes? I have read about other schemes I have tried them but I never found a way of to really practice and master them.

Any suggestions?

The Sweetest Farewell

Shining lines
Of tears falling down
Your perfect face
And in such simple words
An apology
My words
Trampling yours
It never was your fault
And so I will
Say my hardest goodbye
Your body shudders
Sobbing
And upon my lips you bestow
The softest kiss
My eyes close
Your footsteps fade
I find myself alone
My task is clear
My greatest desire
To set you free
Accomplished by
The sweetest farewell
My eyes sweep down
Those twenty stories
Over the railing
Hanging by
A hand
Now the release
Goodbye Kitty
I always loved you
I always will
Goodbye my Kitty
Goodbye my love


Well?

No title yet...

Digging my heels into the sand,
breathing in the ocean scent,
I feel peaceful like never before.
How I never want this to end.

My mind slowly drifts to a calm place,
barriers rise around me,
like the superb Great Wall of China,
protecting it's land from harm.

For now, I'm able to block you out.
Your childish, high-pitched laugh,
your cute, little tan face,
and everything else about you.

Able to block out your age,
and your luscious curly hair.
Able to block out your lack of...
intelligence and so much more.

Forgetting about how you're only
a few years older than me.
And how somehow in this world,
you are my step mom...
my dad's trophie wife.

Dark, decrepit, dreary damned night
Fills my bowels with stones of fright
My eyes shift from the left to the right
While shadows dance in the pale moonlight

No human should walk the earth at this hour
Per chance to meet some unearthly power
I watch, I listen, I dodge, I cower
While heart burns, stomach churns, and mouth tastes sour

The cold wind howls with evil glee
Anticipating my destiny
I know some spectre waits for me
To rend, to end mortality

I watch it standing up ahead
With fingers of bone and eyes of red
Beckoning me to join the dead
I change my path, with feet of lead

I begin to tremble and I can swear
If only in mind, there's something here
And I die in waiting, there's death in fear
Damned night be gone, glorious dawn appear

I mean, sure I love his advice, and I like him to take a look at my stuff. So what? What's the big deal? It would be cool if I knew him in real life, but I don't... and you, (BILL), need to get over it.

ok?

Who am I
What's my alibi
Why am I here
Who are you to care
When does it matter that I'm alive
Why, oh why can't I just die
What difference will it make
When it's my own life to take
Why would you greive over me
When no one else can let me be
When will this pain ever stop
Oh, check it out I have one more shot!

We are doing a drama play. We have to create a faique product. ur faique product is a homework machine. Now I don't know how can we present this product so that people will buy it. So we are thinking presenting the homework machine (product) like by using a poem.
So far I got this:

Homeworks are scray
Don't need to worry
Because you'll have a
homework machine to carry.

Now I don't know if it makes sense for my product. If it does, can add more lines with it. If its funny, it will be more good. If it doesn't make sense, please give me a poem about homework machine.
This is not a homework. Our class is just doing it for fun. They like funny drama plays. PLease help me out.
My group is not even helping me. So I have to do it alone. I wrote the whole script. I just need the poem for the product.
Thanks in advance.

she wears black velvet &
depending on her mood,
is Rubenesque
or slim as water

tapered black satin
on her tiny feet;
an imperial princess or
a charming tease

her lashes are the colour of dusk,
her eyes amber, emerald
malachite,
depending on her mood

she moves with grace..
if one expresses sadness or pain,
to gently touch one's face
& lingers long in quiet concern

but do not be surprised
at bursts of child-like energy,
pretending to seriously respond
to feathers, bells & fanciful games

she does not acknowledge compliments,
no princess would;
tell her she is beautiful &
you will see a small pink yawn

in her furry little face...
depending on her mood

[reflecting on a feminine feline]

I didn't write this, so it's up for grabs or bonks or whatever you please. Spontaneously written by someone close to me.

Dying within myself
this weakness taking over me
my strength leaving
this sickness overcoming
taking over me
taking the breathe from me
wondering how to overcome it
lungs feeling shallow
no grip, weakness in my legs
I’ve been attacked
emotionally I am frail
laying upon this floor
as I creep towards the door
maybe this is just a dream
but I swore I heard me scream
finding me on the floor
crumbled up like ashes
theirs so many things
I feel I can live for
if only I can get up off this floor

Its untitled as of now, but I would like suggestions for titles, as well as any other suggestions anyone might have, as well as critiques and such. An idea for the ending would be nice too.

Finishing last in a race
I should never lose
Meaningless, hopeless,
And very confused,

Alone at the ending
With everyone staring
The whole world’s watching
Without one of them caring;

My disheartened heart
Is bleak, and inept,
Doomed for a failure
Because vows aren’t kept.

The future’s not promising,
And not even near.
This attempt is futile,
Hollow, and maybe a little insincere.

Sulking in stale sorrow
A little musty, and decayed
My excuses are worn out
And will soon become clichéd.

Does anyone know the work of the poetry writer Jimmy Santiago Baca? If so hopefully you can help me. I am looking for a certain poem from this writer I don't know the name of it nor do I know in what book I can find it. He talks about how boys should not or rather don't cry. ( I always thought it was called boys don't cry but I can't find it under that name anywhere) Does that sound familiar to anyone if so please let me know I have been looking for this poem like crazy because I heard it once years ago and fell in love with it but I need the name. Please help if you can. Thank you!

The Bud Vase

Upon my windowsill, there sits
a simple jar of glassy face
That come of late, I find it fits
to be a perfect small bud vase.
I stole a flower from my mum
-who had a bunch of flowers, so
I took the daffodils and some
scissors when she did not know.
And when she wasn’t looking, I
found the perfect little bud
I cut it, and I found inside
that flowers also bleed of blood.
Never ‘fore in all my days
(of stealing flowers not my own)
Did I so ever find Life plays
among the veins of flowers grown.
I cut its stem, and there it bled
green to tips of my fingers
And though the flower long is dead
the scent of its blood still lingers.
But so, to rid the vase of Death
I filled it for the job it suits;
Inside, I put some Baby’s Breath-
careful, this time, to keep the roots.

Love is a passion
But lovers turned it sour
With their unrealistic expectations
Years of relationship collapsed within hours

Words are told but never turns true
Shedding tears, the action most couples do
Fall in love but not with their partner
Blinded by lust leading them to disaster

In the still of the night
I vow to make you happy with all my might
To be with you I won't surrender the fight
Earth Angel, I won't let you fall to the wrong side

I can't promise you miracles
But I'll stand with you facing obstacles
I can't swim seven seas to be with you
But leaving you in aggravation is something I won't do

You shine lights to this dark heart of mine
Bind me with heavenly feelings no man can find
Knowing I'm a pessimist when it comes to love
You proved that it's a special thing sent from above

In the still of the night, I prayed for your arrival
Finally God have sent me the special girl
Now it's my turn to make it happen
This poem is the first step to our heaven.

Though I Never Met You


When I finally met your family you had already passed
So young you were and it all happened so fast
You were only 16 so much life ahead
Then the day after easter they got that phone call
saying you were dead
I did not know you then i wasnt even around
But from what i hear of you your charector was so profound
I see your families pain its like a part of them is missing
And i hear all the stories about you as theyre reminiscing
They tell me how good you were and how much fun you had
They really do love you i havent heard anything bad
The night before your cousins wedding i remember the awareness
how you were not going to be there and all of that unfairness
Tears started to fill my eyes and the pain i began to bare
I couldnt hold it in anymore as i said my little prayer
God how could this happen i cried inside my head
This boy was only 16 and now that he is dead
His family goes on without him and feels this pain within there soul
And now within my heart i feel this empty hole.
He should be here with us to you thats all i can say
He should be celebrating with us on this very special day
But the idea that you had is much bigger than i had planned
And you had to call him home and that i understand
i felt a little better as i talked to God that night
and i felt this overwhelming peace that everything will be alright
the wedding was very beautiful with lots of celebration
then all of a suddon i had this temptation
i looked around the room to admire everyone
and i couldnt help but notice i was having so much fun
and as i looked my eyes fell upon a lonely empty chair
and i had a sense of sadness that nothing could compare
i couldnt help but smile and shed a little tear
for i thought of you that moment and knew that you were near
its funny how things turn out and who will bring you through
though we never met each other i still feel the loss of you
and sooner or later my life will come to an end
and when that happens i will definately meet you then.

Dedicated to David Rock.. Died at 16 the day after easter. Got together with his uncle a year after his death. Though i never met him i know who he is.

I had to write this for LA this year in poetry. It was a response poem to a picture of a sunset:

Hiding behind the clouds.
Illuminating the sky.

(posted this months back in wrong section so not many viewed it)

I sit here amongst the darkness
Scared, alone and tormented
A rusted unused weapon I brush upon cold lips
Shaking, trembling and crying
No longer will life taunt me
Will this deadly weapon shatter the skull?
Walls blood stained, sanguineous
Stiff fingers clench the trigger
Peace and agony marry
Tear filled eyes close as the mind clears
The trigger is pulled
All memories hope and dreams
Are gone
