Well we have a whole forum now, so if you have anything to post just make a new topic.

[retry_1]

well the way you guys are fighting over a position that doesnt exist yet reely doesnt sceam 'i am responsable enough to be a mod" imo the global mods have it under control

[Whitey]

Except for the fact that nobody, including them, visit this section because it so happens that nobody is interested in poetry :(

[Short Stuff]

Now that's a bold-faced lie. I'm a "global mod" and I visit this thread (others probably do too, but don't feel the urge to post). Just something to think about before you type Switch .

Wrote this one a while back, got it published in some young poets thingy, I'll paraprashe it and fix it when I find the book...theres a second part too so don't critique it yet

Who am I to say?

Who am I to say
"I know that fateful December day",
when the nation peacefully slept,
only later to have wept?

We had a Poem contest in are english class so i thought i would make one about a maze

Enjoy the maze

This maze inside my head
continues to grow far and wide
escape with me, I invite you
welcome; please wipe your feet

don't wonder off without me
for shadows dance within corners
adorned in ballerina tutus
singing a dark lonely tune

Ignore the belly-dancing crickets
for they have lost their skirts
continuing to dance away
laughing while sipping their coffee

the corridor is long, I know
yet please enjoy the daisies
their scent is fresh as fruit
luscious desires are everywhere

touching the locked doors
will invite chaos, pain
wear a raincoat please
It's monsoon season

before you exit
please sign the book
yet you're never leaving
you completed the task

your seat is waiting for you
enjoy your ride down the shuttle
reservations have been made
for eternal rest within my heart

Heres Another...

The Love To Thy Bird
By Short Stuff

Hello My Sweet Bird, Of Grace And Beauty
Time Has Grown Short, And I Must Return To My Duty
But Do Not Dispair, The Day Is Short But Tommarow Long!
And I Will Wait For Your Gracefull Song...

[Whitey]

not bad peeps, but by "nobody" I meant that not many. Which is true.

[Short Stuff]

oi...just stay out of this forum if all your going to do is dis us...forget your mission by the way...find another mapper...

[Whitey]

:???: I didn't diss anyone, I simply stated that not many forum goers tend to like poetry, In a sense that means I respect everyone who DOES come in here because I like you all do like poetry. And it IS a shame that not too many like poetry, because poetry is a great way to express one's self

O well back to poetry (Switchblade sorry i was a little harsh.)

My Love...Likewise the way we think...
Boundrieless the strength of your love...
Tis the shame of our broken hearts...
That the raven hasth taken thee...

For my Heart will always dwell...
On the thought that ye shall live...
I shriek a terror in the night...
Of pain of shattered heart...
For the raven hasth taken thee...

[Whitey]

as with most of your poems i've read, nice use of the olde' english

[Short Stuff]

Im an oldie guy...

[Sgt. Nuker]

It's been a while since I've posted here, so here's one that I just whipped up.

So Little Time

Trapped behind
a shattered mirror (of my withered reflection)
Can't seem to break the stigma
surrounding all of my ambitions (that require a careful mind)

I feel so empty and alone
it's a small world after all
The wind is howling
through a hole made for a heart (no longer beating)

I walk this path alone
and the wind
it moves my feet
so that I may leave this place (I used to call home)

When I fall
there will be no one to catch me
no one to watch
as I kiss the ground (with mouth wide open)
I wonder how soft
my six foot fall would be

Musn't stop to breath
Can't bear to walk
but these arms can't take me there

Omfg good! A little darker then you act but good!

Another poem...

Creation is the love of god...
for god hath given thy love to thee as of flesh and blood...
but no good is the mind of man...
Which has taketh the life of many a being...
so god made us with his love...
but we refuse his love...
With hate...

[Short Stuff]

Oh holder of love!
Hasth thee forsaken me? Taketh this and bless it with heart and mind!
For this is my heart, And not thine!

[Sgt. Nuker]

I searched the forum like mad for this poem, but I finally found it.

My spin-off of Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones:

Sky Turns Black

I see the white clouds and I want to paint them black
no colors anymore 'cause the sky is fading fast
I see the planes roll by and they're all painted black
I have to turn away from their engine's ferocious blast

I see a line of bombs and they're all painted black
with taunts and cameras never to come back
I see the pilots turn and quickly fly away
just like a bombing it happens ev'ryday

I look to the horizon and see that it is black
I see a red sky and must have it painted black
Maybe then the war will end and no one has to die
It's not easy giving up when all their hearts are black

I want to see it end, end, end, end in black
