I've been taking Creative Writing class this year so I've written alot of poetry. One poem I like, but didn't write myself, is Passing Remark by William Stafford

In scenery I like flat country.
In life I don't like too much to happen.

In personalities I like mild colorless people.
And in colors I prefer gray and brown.

My wife, a vivid girl from the mountains,
says, "Then why did you choose me?"

Mildly I lower my brown eyes —
There are so many things admirable people do not understand.

that's cute

I'm a fan of Edgar Allen Poe anyone else?

Once upon a midnight dreary,
While I wondered, weak and weary.

Mwahaha Cried the raven, Nevermore. Edgar Allen Poe rules!

 

[Roxter79]

I love The Tell Tale heart ahh Poe is my idol lol

here's another one by me

Losing
Losing time,
In stars,
In sky,
In little blades of grass.

Losing pain,
In clouds,
In sound,
In water dripping down.

Losing me,
In dust,
In paper,
In thoughts inside my head.

I've had to write a million poems for school, but most of them are dumb...here's one of the few I've written that I actually like:

Always moving, running, racing
The water briskly approaches a waterfall,
My life quickly approaches an obstacle
And tumbles over the rocks.
It lands peacefully, only to be
Swept away once again.
Always moving, zipping, flying
Past its surroundings standing by,
Past friends and family looking on.
Can it, will it ever stop?
It never stops,
Never allows me to admire its beauty

I like it

This is one I wrote during my free time and it is being published in my school's lit mag.


Trapped

I loved you once
Maybe now I still do.
My feelings blurred
Mixed in with pain and tears.

I was scared
I pushed you away
But fell in love.
Your smile, your laugh
I couldn’t escape.

I watched you walk away
Leaving me with three years of emotion.
Knowing I would never hold your hand
Never hear your voice again.

I wanted to hate you
I wanted to forget you and what you did.
But love outweighs hate and
I will always love you.

here's another one by me



Gone
Some say she wished too hard.
Some say she wished too long.
One day she kept on wishing.
the next, she was gone

This girl she had struggled.
With things in her past.
This girl she got her wish.
Finally, at last.

One day she kept on thinking.
What others would care.
One day she kept thinking.
What if she wasn’t there.

She climbed into a tree.
She tied the rope to herself.
This girl, she felt so freely
She felt like she was stealthly.

So now you know the story.
Of this sad little girl.
She thought that she was nothing.
But her death shocked the world.

 

[disnee15]

Well I guess I'll post one of mine.... it sucks though

If Only
If only they knew how much I've cried
If only they knew what I've held inside

If only they knew what I've seen,
While I was young and now as a teen

If only they could spend a day in my life
They'd understand why I held that knife

Praying to God for forgiveness, with an awful fear in my chest
For I knew this was my final test

If only someone hadn't come along,
telling me that this time i was wrong

I wouldn't be here today,
and for her, to God I pray

I thank him for the gift he's goven me
I don't know where'd I be

I'd probably be sitting on a cloud
No chance to hang with friends or be loud

If only they all could feel what I feel,
But I guess that will never happen... if only.
-Lauren

wow

 

[Roxter79]

Good night! which put the candle out?
A jealous zephyr, not a doubt.
Ah! friend, you little knew
How long at that celestial wick
The angels labored diligent;
Extinguished, now, for you!

It might have been the lighthouse spark
Some sailor, rowing in the dark,
Had importuned to see!
It might have been the waning lamp
That lit the drummer from the camp
To purer reveille!

by Emily Dickinson

[Roxter79]

I liked it alot. I can really realate to it. what did you think of mine? in the one called gone everyone thought I needed help lol they thought I was going to kill my self.

 

[disnee15]

Well, It was good, if you want my honest opinion it didnt flow very well but I can see where you where going. Well I was serious, ask Jules I've tried a couple of times and I held and gun to my head while my best friend was on the phone, I pulled the trigger but the safety was on. I'm very thankful for that safety. I love my best friend Jessica, she's saved my life more than once. But ya know, thats the only good poem I've ever written, Keep writing roxter!

 

[Roxter79]

what made you want to kill yourself? I have felt like that a few times. it's not fun I had to call a freind to help me.
