Yah, I guess it took me long enough. Anyone's who ever read my stuff knows what I'm talking about. Time to pack up the fountain pens, on to a new adventure...

LOL, I keep copies my friend *^_^*}


Hmmm

Hmmm, no 360 nor email
hidden Q and A as well
Why’r you hiding?
Getting mouthy?
Pray no one finds out they’ll tell

No life, low life scoring points
upon your pedestal to join
a site so way beyond your reach
your lack of friendship
so you teach

So high and mighty as you click
just purposely being a pr**k
How do you sleep
don’t think you do
knowing so many look for you

The day will come
when you’re brought down
then what to do, more lonely now?
Just sign on in with your other account
and I’ll keep posting what you want out...

*****
I look out, to the west
From the house we built ourselves
To the place where you have gone
Far away

I think of times, so sublime
And the children’s nursery rhymes
I wonder if I will feel that way again,
Someday

She will not turn to look at me
She only sees what she believes
My heart breaks with every step she takes
Please stay!

Constrictive criticism please.

Details:
My printer is out of toner
I tried to fill it
But it made my hands black
Ruined my favorite shirt
Now I have to change
It was my favorite shirt

Mom, I Love You


Round and round
I turn and spin
where to begin
and where to end?

Right and left and
right and wrong?
Up, down, in, out,
no strength, strong

Temper tantrums,
calming down
giggling laughter,
crying now

Creeping anger,
‘bout to blow
Holy sh*t
which way to go!?

All this nightly,
sleeping tightly
dreaming dreams
prob-matic, frightening!

Day seeps in,
{my distant friend}
singeing all
I am again

Soul’s forced to awaken
from demise
eyelids rise slowly
to a smiling surprise

A mug of hot java
comes in to view
along with a voice
“Mom, I love you”

I was wondering if any one knew the true rendition of Henry Van Dyke's If All the Skies? In some versions, it says, "cooling plash of rain," and others "cooling splash of rain."

Rate it from 1-10

Poems are fresh
Like falling rain
That falls in the sewer
So it’s not really fresh
But poems are like that.

Poems make people happy
And they can even smile
So that makes it all
Worth –

While I was sitting at home
On a cold, hot day
I saw a bird flying
Around
But it actually looked more like a bat
So I saw a bat flying around
Around
Outside on a cold, hot day

Poems make me feel special-feeling
Like a child at the Special Olympics
But that’s really a bad thing to say
Just like pizza is bad
For your heart

Flowers are like poetry
In that they are flowery
And flower-full
And flower-some
And they make me want to buy some Armani
Clothes
And close the poem

Just – kidding
Poems are like the circus
That are clowny
But they’re not really clowny
But poems are like that.

The poem is written in 1st person narrative. Is that suggests that this is a narrative poem? The rhyme scheme is abaab, cdccd, etc... and has a 4 stanzas of five line each. Does that say anything about the form of this poem? I am confused pls help me. Thank you.

Here's the poem

The Road Not Taken – Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
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.

Coming Day
by Dag Drahmr

A dark shroud cloaks the world,
nature stretches trying to come awake.
Homes with dimly lit squares,
line the byway.
Eyes crawl out of the haze,
moving down the hill.
Eastern glow flex its muscles,
shoving the shroud aside.
Dawn approaches,
promising wonders to see.

Was there a stage in Robert Frost's later life when he became attracted to another elderly woman? This seems to be insinuated in his poem "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening."

Have you ever written a poem in the style of a poet you like? That's what I attempted with this one...did it work? Anyway, I don't know if I should add some stanzas in the middle...okay, I've talked too much already. :) Please tell me what you think.

Thank you!

~Stopping by a House on an Autumn Afternoon!

I thought I would drop by the house once more--
A passing whim, on an autumn day;
I had some time to walk this way,
And take a glance by the old green door.

Ivy has grown over most of the walls,
And the garden is a shambles, though beautiful still;
Dust has covered the window sills,
But it was always like that, if I recall.

I stepped inside, for a minute or two--
So like the old times, yet very changed:
Only me, on tip-toe, so as not to disarrange,
Instead of all our merry group.

Oh! I shall always, always remember--
Though years do pass, and heads turn gray--
The nights we danced and the things we would say,
Though such time are gone, and though

{d*mn that South Park, makes it hard to concentrate LOL}


Cyclone

Twisting freely amongst my mind
torn and tattered undefined
Twirling, whirling all around
whipping debris while touching down

Heat flashes blinding all those near
forced to rot within my fears
No escaping, pure surrender
live in me, my mind forever

Jaws drop low, saliva flows
stare in amazement, creeping woes
The door’s now open “PeOpLe FlEe!”
But, non of you now, want to leave

So pull up a seat, kick back, relax
take it all in, enjoy the facts
Imagination, mine to share
My lowly cyclone, if you dare...

Oh, give me a break, I don’t understand
the words that you’re saying I don’t comprehend
I pressed 1 for English and to no avail
I got you instead who speaks English (not well)

I think that you asked for my routing code
but I’m hesitant to say it as I’m not so bold
Your accent’s so strong, I truly am trying
“can you repeat that? Just what am I hiding?”

Oh, now, I get it and no I’m buying
I’m simply planning out a route for flying
Is there someone else there I can talk to?
I will not hang up it’s so long to get through!”

Why do I feel as if I’ve left the States?
Are there no more people on lines who relate?
D*mn it, no pressing if you’re from the US
Press 1 for all other languages instead...

Can anyone tell me how Matthias Claudius' poem "Death and the Maiden" reads. please. thank you all very much.

If they tell you "Hate, little one", don't shed tears and kill, because those tears would end up drowning yourself.
If they tell you "Don't think, little one", don't obey, we enjoy ourselves more in risking knowledge.
If they tell you "Buy, little one", don't be of service, you’d sell your soul in the name of matter.
If they tell you "Kill, little one", because yes, this they could impose on you, don't kill, because by this you would annihilate yourself slowly.
If they tell you "This is the law, little one", remember: law isn’t written elsewhere if not in your heart.
If they tell you "You are crazy, little one", feel sorry for them and be proud of yourself.Crazy people are a threat only to the unjust
If they tell you "This is the truth, little one", reply to them: "The truth am I”.

The Only Time


It's raining outside
That when my sister an I
Decide to run rampant through
the violent storms

We're young, we're beautiful, and we're free
We live to the fullest
We put off consequences
And live for the moment


We walk in the house
Soaking wet
My mother scorns and punishes us
Sure it was dangerous
Dangerous but not stupid

But we just laugh
Because we know in years to come
This will be on of the best times of our lives

Hi everyone,

I've written several poems, but I haven't gotten any feedback on them. I'd like very much to get some feedback, so I'd appreciate it if you could leave a comment or critique on this.

It's too long to be posted here, so I've put it up elsewhere to be viewed. Sorry about this.

"Stone"

Creeping,
Mist on the water,
Glisten,
On the road.
Tears,
Blesses to the stone,
Lighten,
Darkness all alone.
Crawling,
Feet no longer needed,
Paved,
Memories to atone.

White flakes like knives
Fall from the sky.
Threatening to take the lives
Of those who lie.

Ripping apart the air.
Shredding the peace.
Destroying all care.
Leaving but a small piece.

Intaking a cold breath,
Searing my lungs and heart,
Freezing life to feel like death,
It will get worse, this is just the start.

One step at a time
Toward a wintry grave.
Uttering one final rhyme
I cannot be saved.

The moon shines bright
Between dark clouds.
I walk out of sight,
Away from the crowds.

Death may prey
In this endless cold.
Now I end this day,
For I will never be old.

I decided to start writing poems. Here's my first, I hope you like it.

Do dreams come true?

I stair at the at night’s sky,
watching the the stars twinkle and the clouds pass by.
I know you are gazing at the heavens and I know what your thinkin,
we’re so far apart but we’re under the same blanket.
The moon is the common ground, a portal between,
where you are and I am, two opposite extreemes.
I gaze waiting for the moon to pull me up and put me down,
next to you, in another place another time anther town.
When you look up and admire all you see,
I hope, I pray, you think of me

Alone
From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.

1.) Who is the speaker or speakers?
2.) Who are the characters in the poem?
3.) What is the subject or situation in the poem?
4.) What are the events in the poem?
5.) When do the events in the poem take place?
