Don't Get Aggravated...


If the dinosaur tracks
In the backyard aren't
Deep enough to
Wash the dog in...

First, it has to rain
REAL hard...
Where's your dog?

I just wrote this poem, but have no idea what title to use. Any ideas?

Poem#1

"Would I cry for him, if he were to die?
I think not
It is his fault I am broken
Crushed to a million
Billion
Tiny pieces of glass.
Neveragain to be put back again. {and I know neveragain has a space in the middle, I just wrote it like that 'cos it seems better.}
Broken forever
Forevermore.
Therefore, for you: I'll not mourn
For you I'll not cry
For you I'll not wish to come back to life
You caused naught but pain
Death is wise to welcome you
He is waiting, you know.
Waiting
For
You.

Amen."

So that was my poem. Any ideas? Thanks!

I don't think anything rhymes with orange,
But if it did, I'd write a rhyme.

*****
The Dream's Slave

Dream devil
Delighter
Night owl, swallow
Child frightener
Form, at the window

On with the light
Nighttime brightener
I fear, not you
Fool of the mist
My fist, ever tight for you

I'm awake, and through…
You, must abate from view
Take away your tools
And your opaque rules
Violation pools

*****

"Could you send 2 or 3 lines about yourself that we would say before your reading on the evening of February ___?"

I'm reading my poem that won the poetry contest, and I'm not sure how these evenings go (I've never been to one). What would be appropriate to say about myself (someone else is intoducing me)?

Thanks in advance.

and who is the author

I was born with oceans for eyes
and much like a wave it comes
love flowing trapped until it breaks and flows into hate
stirred only by them my precious pearls
it cannot run nor can it hide it has no direction all it can do is flow back into itself
and that's what it does and there it remains an endless vast of blues to teeter on
there's not a big enough life raft to save it
so the waves continue to pound and produce waterfalls over the lips letting you taste the salt of life
there will be no end to this,it will never drain nor can it ever evaporate all you can do is float,ride the waves and keep faith that you won't drown

Can you give any suggestions on how to make it better. It's not amazing, but I still love it (like a child lolo) <3.

Good Enough

Golden days of pride and glory, now rusted to the core.

I try to find my way through life, I try but always fall.

Rancid words thrown at me, with eyes of cloudy glear,

what path shall I create, it now looks like one of tears.

Below the line of happiness, is where now I lay,

and yet I do feel good enough, Is this good enough today?



After all the glory, after all the pain,

will I settle for just average, was it all in vain?

Amazing feats I will accomplish, I'll just give it some time (?),

break away from expectations, never surrender to design!

So much is empty, so much unexplained,

And yet I do feel good enough? Good enough today.

I know it's not proffesional but's it's good right?

Title: Chariot Race Poem
I wait anxiously and nervously for the brutal race to begin
I start to feel impatient, as time grows shorter and shorter
My mind has turned completely blank and frozen
I see the spectators staring at all the chariot riders and me

The sun was getting hotter and blinding my eyes,
The horses were restless and rearing to go,
Then suddenly the sound of trumpets pierced the air
And the race is on

Yelling and screaming my mind is numb
Round and round in circles we go
Chariots behind me chariots in front
Mayhem everywhere controlling the race

Eight teams that started, now five only left
Will I make it or will I join the three?
I urge on my horses to give their best
But today it is not going to be

And suddenly it’s over, but not as I hoped
My horses are beaten, though we are not last
The spoils to the winner, at least for today
Next time we’ll be there, first.

I want to write a poem about Poseidon, the greek god, it doesn't have to rhyme, and it should have a stubborn tone.

Does anyone have a stanza, verse, or just a line to help me?

Not a question at all; but thoughts from someone who has been a writer most of his life.
So many come here asking about there work; and many young; most wanting approval, or an EAR.
Certainly we'd all like positive affirmations about something we make so public; but the more positive answers should come from within.
"DO I LIKE IT?" should be the first Q anyone asks. "What does it do for me?"
Certainly as a Poet; so much of what we do is an emotional experience; often born of pain. Expressing it is like medicine; therapy; and not everyone might GET IT; but certainly most of us can "relate" to it.
I guess when we ask, "DO YOU like it" we HOPE others will; but the passion in creating should really be for a more selfish motive. Denying any passion; is to risk losing it, and I feel that a far more sad experience; than anyone NOT saying; "Yeah it's good"
Just some notes from an OLD Wolf. The message I guess, is to "KEEP AT IT", unless of course it was merely a band-aid, and it worked.

My eyes are dry yet tears are falling,
People say I'm dreaming-
then why am I bawling?
I get to a point to where I can't take it
"WHY?", I ask myself, "WHY?" can't I just leave?!-
I can it's my choice.

i kinda wrote it

I have to say which words are stressed and unstressed and I was wondering how you can tell what the one-syllable words are?

this is what I'm doing:

It’s dust in my mouth
Taste of the prairie’s hot wind
Tells me I’m in Chicago
Not New York
Days after flying in
Over lake Michigan….
A familiar looking skyline
Mile of shop names I recognize
Mean nothing
When the wind starts up…



like how can you tell what "It's" and "dust" is since it's only one-syllable?

I love my former English professor and I respect him so much and I am sending him emails but he never replies to me. I think he is ignoring me. All what I want is he treats me like a daughter. He doesn't have a daughter and I want to be like his daughter. He was very nice to me and I was one of his favourite students but since he left the university, he never replied to any email I send him. Why is he ignoring me?

Is there a poem that has a title like "Why are you ignoring me?"
I want to send it to him.

Thanks

Barbie Doll

by Marge Piercy



This girlchild was born as usual
and presented dolls that did pee-pee
and miniature GE ovens and irons
and wee lipsticks the color of cherry candy.
Then in the magic of puberty, a classmate said
You have a great big nose and fat legs.


She was healthy, tested intellegent,
posessed strong arms and back,
abundant sexual drive and manual dexterity.
She went to and fro apologizing.
Everyone saw a fat nose and thick legs.


She was advised to play coy,
exhorted to come on hearty,
exersize, diet, smile, and wheedle.
Her good nature wore out like a fan belt.
So she cut off her nose and legs
and offered them up.


In the casket displayed on satin she lay
with the undertaker's cosmetics painted on,
a turned-up putty nose,
dressed in a pink and white nightie.
Doesn't she look pretty? everyone said.
Consumation at last.
To every woman a happy ending

"Annie's Laughter"
Lipstick stain's on a glass of wine,
little pink rings around Virinia Slims,
Annie's laughter linger's on through the night.
I could never live long enough to learn to Love what I have.
I shouldn't have to earn respect
the way she's earned to be disrespected.
I don't know how to please her,
There's no reason to even try,
with nothing to be desired,
Love is not my fate.
I feel no need to be forgiven.
Annie's laughter linger's on through the night....

Warriors of Prayer
Written by Semper Fi Reborn - Loyal Prayer Warrior

Their purpose is of God,
To serve with no end.
To answer the calls of prayer,
And wage war against sin.

Chosen for battle,
The Word of God is their sword.
No fear, not even of death,
Living to obey the Lord.

Being saved by His Blood,
Born of Spirit and not womb.
Across the whole world,
On their knees in their rooms.

Lifting praise up to God,
Praying prayers, miracles gained.
Confessing of sins,
Forgiven in His Name.

We Bless You O' God,
You are Righteous and Fair.
We bow before you,
We are Warriors of Prayer.
