left for dead

I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding for you,
Breathing the rape that I long ago knew.
I drown in a lake filled with crimson fire,
How deep are the scars in my mind?

I take a walk on a cold Autumn night,
I inhale the stars, and drown in my fright.
Does it really take torturing children,
When armageddon comes, where will you sit?

Swallow the bitter taste, you once deeply craved,
So cry a sad smile as frail as morpheous.
Feed me but it is not worth dying for,
My son he has come, to carry me home.

Look all around, the world is a dream,
I travel to places I have never seen.
Terror above, beautiful as the night,
Black butterflys swim in full flight.

Verily not confined am I to embrace earth
Though it is cold, damp and comfy quite
Each and every I rise for bite
Do well to fear those of glowing eyes
As the piss runs down your thighs
We feast once more; delight

I am making a homemade memorial for somebody who just lost an individual very close to them. This was not an unexpected death or anything. I can't seem to find a heartfelt, medium in lenth poem. Any ideas? Thanks!

I really want to use a bit of Stephen Spender's poem "I Think Continually" problem is according to Wikipedia he only died in 1995 which means it's not in the public domain and won't be for quite sometime. I know a bit about fair use but I'm not sure if it applies. What I want to do is use the first line and the last couple lines in a comic strip I'm writing. How would I go about this? Thanks!

Damn Laid Back gave me the word to write a poem about.

Internalized

Fences placed
Enclosing guests
Channel flocks
Minds unlocked

Frictions' ashes
Spoiled dances
Out of step
Out of haste

Trampled games
Sparks of shame
Led to the slaughter
Passion hotter

Fire burns
Never learn
Never turn
Away

Just obey

The Rose..................

What a site to see we say, but do we really know
what a Rose like she goes through , to spring that certain glow.
In the winter she hides way, so patiently she sleeps,
a wishing well of strength and love, but quietly she weeps.

Awaiting old man winter to melt, so she may gallantly reappear,

this lovely princess, her blossoms begin to stare,
at my heart that shines so bright,, oh ,, the glory that she brings,
stopping nature in it's tracks as the Bluebird spryly sings.

This song to me ,about your gaze, that sets my heart on fire,
to hold this Angel just one night,, would be my great desire.

I send this poem to my Rose,, oh how she is delight,
I want to hold you silk to skin,, and rock her through the night...

Yes my,the Rose,,,,,,,,,,,,,. xxxoxoxoxox :)

poem?

Its cold I am, Mother Dear
But Oh I am so dry
Attach me to a brewery
and leave me there to die.

I have a nice phrase in my head, and a vague idea for a poem, but I can't write it. I don't want to just throw some piece of doggerel onto paper; I want it to be good.

Does this ever happen to anyone else? What do you do?

This is a parody of the parody of the poem "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. The parody is To A Vase by Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Cat (by Henry Beard)

This is the original one:
"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways"
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Greenland: Future Beach Paradise

That’s right,
get in now
get in on the ground floor
of this amazing real estate opportunity

Be there when
Jack Frost fumbles his grip
and the Arctic sheds ice

While St. Nickolas is busy removing
his jacket, cap, gloves
be busy burying your toes in newly uncovered sand

While other people are fighting malnutrition and vector-disease
you’ll have the beach tan that say’s “I told you so.”

20 -30 - even 100 acre lots are available for-ice cubes on the glacier
Act now
Don’t be a grumpy polar bear with no place to go

"And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches toward Bethlehem to be born?"
It was written in 1921, and I wonder if he was sort of latter day Nostradomus, or what? No, I am not requesting homework help. Just want to know what others might think.

We’re in a plastic world
But baby, my plastics just unfurled
Peeling off my layer of lies
You see through my disguise

The long worn mask clings to my skin
But baby, you’re finding your way in
Rejecting my false perfection
You’re honesty is my reflection

The high tides can’t carry all the sand away
But Baby, the walls are starting to decay
Standing naked with no shield
You pick at me til I’m revealed

My teacher assigned us to write a sonnet, and I'm not the best poet. I know the first line isn't exactly 10 syllables but I'll cheat a little. I have only 4 lines, I need ten more. Any suggestions? The patter is ABAB CDCD and so on. This is what I have so far.

Every time your name is said I smile,
But what's even better than that is your's.
My wish? To walk with you down the aisle.
Our honeymoon to be at the south shores

I have, for two years I couldn't face writing until something special happened. I just finised writing a poem, that for one person, would never have been written.

I love to write these lovely words,
They tend to paint my life.
I do not wish to end it all,
With gun or rope or knife.

When I was ten, or maybe nine,
I wrote a simple verse.
I knew that it was not much good,
But it was just my first.

On and on I wrote these words,
I'd show them to my friends.
But they all seemed to cut me down,
And never make amends.

I thought I must not be so good,
That's why they would jeer so.
And soon when I would want to write,
My mind would tell me no.

Don't write another of these things,
They'll only laugh and joke.
I'd sit and cry, and wish they all.
Would just shut up and choke.

For two long years I thus endured,
I wrote not one small thing.
I thought perhaps if I wrote one,
My heart would once more sing.

It was late December when I met you
I was just passing by when you said "hi!"
Since then we became friends and stick like glue
How i've hoped my dear, you'd never say bye

But just like any fairy love story
One must make a sacrifice and feel pain
Everything we've been through is history
Help me! These teardrops are falling like rain

Days went on and I'm still waiting for you
One day you came and made life so happy
Then next thing i knew you struck me like flu
I'm all yours, please say that you're mine baby

Oh my love let's forget about the past
'Cause I know this love would forever last

does it show on your face when you smile in vain?
how do you hold back the tears so no one knows
the creeping sadness from your thousand sorrows?
black seeping from your mangled rotting heart
solace..solace! before it gets too dark....


...there! anyways...the main Q is...How do you write a poem that hides the pain? =D

can you please give me a line or two to start with?
thank you... =)

I need help adapting the first verse of George Strait's "Check Yes or No". I am a guy, and my girlfriend and I are both in the 11th grade. Basically, I want to have an original way of asking her to our winter dance, and this song is perfect, if I can only adapt it to my life...

My problem is that I am about as adept at writing poetry as your regular scientist, so I would be really appreciative if anyone here can help me out... Who knows, might be a few points involved for the best answer?

What I want changed in the song is this section:

A pink dress, a matching bow, and her pony tail.
She kissed me on the school bus, but told me not to tell.
Next day I chased her round the playground
Across the monkey bars, to the merry-go-round

Clearly, in 11th grade we don't go on the playground anymore :( and girls don't wear pink dresses either. My gf dresses normally, not preppy or w/e.

If anyone can somehow find a way to make this work, you will be my new best friend! (not really sry :p)
