Poetry

[AmandaSparks730]

Does anyone else read/write poetry here?

I like writing it more than reading it, although good poem-format books are any book by Ellen Hopkins (ie Crank, Burned, etc)

But here's my latest...

"Fallen Angel, Fallen Friend"

You sit in front of me
And you smile so bright
We laugh, we talk
Then time is up until next week
Goodbye my fallen angel
My fallen friend

Years pass by
And still we are friends
Though separated at times
You're still here
I stil see you
Goodbye my fallen angel
My fallen friend

I see you in the bright glow
The sounds of the studio
The bass from the studio
Pounding, pounding
The clock is ticking
Goodbye my fallen angel
My fallen friend

You walk into the room
Smile on your face
"Hi!" you say to me
Excited reading on your face
And the clock ticks on
Goodbye my fallen angel
My fallen friend

Costumes, rehersals, recitals
Made up steps
Outstanding awards
Endless energy onstage
Prancing, bouncing, stepping
Goodbye my fallen angel
My fallen friend

The ticking comes to an end
And we must part
Saying our final goodbyes
Who knows when we'll meet again?
Months, years, days?
It hurts to say goodbye to someone you love
(so) Goodbye my fallen angel
My fallen friend
Samantha Marie Armenti
a.k.a.
♥Sam, my dance BFF♥

Added verse:

The worst part
Now that you're gone
Is something that I needed to say for so long
I never got to tell you
"I ♥ you"
Goodbye my fallen angel
My fallen friend

It sucks, but it got across what I was feeling when I wrote it...

I love Poetry.
I write it often.
Short to the point ones.

Everybody thinks I'm depressed, because alot of them are like darker ones...
But it's just easier to write those than happy ones. And I'm not depressed.

I migh post a couple later. Ones that I don't intend to do anything with. I might enter some in contests, so I don't want to post them and someone like steal them or something.

Yours is good.

 

[Meep]

That is good. ^^

Writing stories and poetry is a good way to get everything out and that's why I love writing them.

 

[daddysgirl12]

i really wish i could write poetry but i am not good with words

 

[Tinkerbell424]

Wow yours is really good!

I like writing poems, but most of the time I'm not that good unless I'm given a subject like in school to write about...

Here's two of my poems, I couldnt choose which one to post.

What happens everyday when you feel the pain?
Like your heart is just melting away.
Day by day as you watch it go away.
The pieces gone, but the memory remains.

You look into the clouds, wishing for hope.
Crying on the outside, anger in.
Praying to god to please let this go.
Why do I feel so guilty just wanting to mope?

Mother is gone and father has left.
Brother is addicted and grandma is next.
Sister up North, what about me?
I'm just the 14 year old girl, Hi wanna meet?

Tears in my eyes, one streaming down my face
I wish to re-unite, with my happiness again.
Walking next to you, my pain subsiding.
Aren't you glad you could be, my hidden knight, in shining?

----------------------
"Believe"
When you feel your about to fall
Never let go
As you pray to the gods to restore your hope.

With faith by your side you'll always be safe.
Think of your future and all will remain.
Peace, love, and harmony, what do you think?
It all could be yours quicker than a blink.

So relax your mind and fall to your knees.
Love is obscure but you just got to believe.
Believe in yourself and all of your dreams.
Just hold on tight and take a seat.

 

[AmandaSparks730]

Wow, Alexis, those are great!!

And aww, thanks guys

I'll post more of mine later. Mine are usually about like, heartbreak and love and stuff, LOL

 

[Cassidy]

That doesnt suck.
Thats really good.

I dont write
I wish I could, But im just bad at it, lol.

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

What if...?

If we were stuck in a field,
what would you do?
Personally I'd be some sunflowers with you.

And we'd laugh, a lot,
soaking up warm sun.
I don't know 'bout you,
but I'd be having tons of fun.

Sunflowers in your hands,
and some flowers in my hair.
We'd be dancing
and we wouldn't have a care.

the sun wil warm our hears
and it will sooth our souls.
'till we smile, laugh
and we lose our self control.

Fire

the aroma of burning firewood
filling the night's calm air
as sharp as a kick to the stomach,
that comforting scent was there.

the dancing flames, moving free,
dance along so quietly.
wavering orange flames
illuminate the dark navy sky.

guided by the silver moon,
the graceful flames create a boon.

Yep, I write poetry and songs. Really I start by writing poetry and develop a song out of that, some of my favorites:

They say the future is where I'm living
But now I just want to go back
And help you when you were straying
Away from the pack

You will never know and you will never see
That you were the only one that could make me believe

I will be here and I will be strong
Just to your face until you turn away
I will not cry until you say the words
Because I can’t believe that you will really be gone

And light is fading
And days are ending
Its one step closer
To this part I regret

And now your mouth is
Shut if only to protect me
Soon you will travel
To a place unknown

And as will unravel this smile so tightly sewn
Sewn by you with a needle of love

I will be here and I will be strong
Just to your face until you turn away
I will not cry until you say the words
Because I can’t believe that you will really be gone

Don’t protect me
Give me this closure
Let me know that your
Really not there

I can’t keep guessing if
This chapters over
Or if one cliffhanger
Will lead to the next

I will be here and I will be strong
Just to your face until you turn away
I will not cry until you say the words
Because I can’t believe that you will really be gone

The days are ending and there is one thing left here I look at you
Down my cheek rolls a single tear

How does she know what perfect is?
She’s trying so hard just to fit in
Into this mold some little girl made
It’s perfect, she’s perfect

And here it comes again
The changes constantly made
And here it comes again
Acceptance can’t be far away

And she doesn’t know the girl that she is
She’s persuaded to live the way everyone lives
One in the same of everyone in this world
Typical, she’s just typical

And here it comes again
The changes constantly made
And here it comes again
Acceptance can’t be far away

And shell never win
Shell never know
The person she was before
Someone lived her life for her
Influence
She took their influence to heart
She thought she was herself
But she’s not

And here it comes again
The changes constantly made
And here it comes again
Acceptance can’t be far away

And here it comes again
The changes constantly made
And here it comes again
Acceptance was never gained

The snow is falling and the wind is blowing fast
All I want to do is have another glass, with you
Stay in all night as my walls break down
Slowly I hit the ground

And I say thank you for the better days
And I say thank you for holding me tight
When I went back for more on that cold winter night
Thank you for keeping me safe

The streets are covered in a blanket of white
Beneath that blanket is deadly ice
Grab just one more glass of cynical wine
Its all right, I've got the time

And I say thank you for the better days
And I say thank you for holding me tight
When I went back for more on that cold winter night
Thank you for keeping me safe

You look at me with your big brown eyes,
It’s all a blur but it’s frozen in time-In this memory of mine
Minus the wine

And I say thank you for the better days
And I say thank you for holding me tight
When I went back for more on that cold winter night
Thank you for keeping me safe

And I say thank you for walking me around
Thank you for lifting me off the ground
And as I look back at that cold winter night
Thank you for keeping me safe

and just a little something I'm writing right now, its not to emotionally deep....but its fun

But the cheerios wont fall If the box was never opened
And I would not call if you were not interested
Look around and remember our past
Everyday you would always finish last

Everyday, everyday, everyday
Everyday, everyday, everyday

Everday without you
Is a day without breathing, without sunshine, without summer, without wind
Everyday of my life
Is a day that I miss you, that I need you, want the warmth of your skin
Everyday

Amanda: Your poem is really really good!! I really got the energy and meaning.

i like writing haikus and then turning them into oceangrams. (oceangram.com) most of them are pretty stupid:

defy gravity
possible? god i hope so!
try with elphaba
--
i hope this bottle
gets through the ocean and seine
to paris, my heart
(since oceangram is all about messages in a bottle, lol...)
--
finals really blow
that F.I.N.A.L.S.
saying is too true
--
the new life water
leaves a bad taste in my mouth
gross, want old kind back!
--
this site was awesome
until i read the novel
'and then there were none'
(about oceangram, lmao)

First of all, thanks for the compliments on my poem

Second of all, I see we have some very talented DISers here!! These poems are wonderful. Keep 'em coming!

Here's a few more of mine:

"Grief"

Grief
My heart fills with
Grief
I can't stand to see you go
They tell me you're dead
I don't want to believe them
But you're gone
Grief
I still feel you here
Grief
You're still with me
Beside me, to guide me
Forever, forever, forever
Grief
I stand there
Grief
I never expected the end
To be so near
BUt now it's here...
Grief
You'll never return
Grief
Though my heart does yearn
To see you again
To hear your voice
(To see your smile)
Grief
You've slipped away
Grief
Where are you now?
Not here with me...
Anymore...
Grief
I have to accept reality
Grief
That you're gone
I'll be grieving for you
Forevermore

"Boy"

Take me away from this
Why can't you see
That you're the reason I breathe?
I need you now...
Your face haunts my dreams
And I wake up confused
Your name is still on my lips
When I see you, boy
My heart speeds up
My face gets hot and red
I can't talk, I can't think
Damn boy, smile so bright
Hazel eyes shine with light
I feel you with me sometimes
Watching me from somewhere
A guardian angel?
I don't know
You don't love me
And I think you'll be surprised
It doesn't surprise ME
Yes, I hurt emotionally
And as you said,
"Physical scars heal..."
I guess emotional scars
Just take a little more time
Still I can't help to love
The things that you do
The things that you say
We're so much alike,
Can't you see?
Hug me...
Or not
Please help me!
'Cause damn, boy, I love you
(Do you care?)
(Do you hear me?)

There once was a boy named George,
Who randomly fell into a gorge.
Someone walked by
And heard his cry
And now he is eating some porridge.


THANKYOU, THANKYOU I KNOW IM A LYRICAL GENIUS.
