A turning point.
I'm waiting on the outside looking for a way in.
What can I do?
What can I say?
It kills me everytime I dont see you,
And lifted up when I can make a way.
What is the matter with me?
I can't think.
I can't breathe.
I can't sleep.
Even if this is as far as I get,
It was worth the while.
For a chance to see you I could walk a thousand miles.
And that's it.

A little random "poem" I wrote two days ago when thinking about the guy that I like... and the things gonig on in my life...


Words consume my mind
Never releasing the treacherous hold.
Yet none of them can explain feelings of this immortal silk
The material that scratches and soothes simultaneously
As I run my slender fingers upon it
The hidden calluses on the tip of them catch onto the silk
My cautious eyes reveal the trap
A benevolent arachnid draws near
--Terror overtakes the mantra echoing through my mind--
It caresses my skin with the words that escaped from the crevices of my mind
Tenderness overflows from the demon of my heart
...and rain falls upon the unchangeable silk...

My thought is scrambled.
My life is not my own.
What can I say when You have blessed me with this everlasting gift of mercy?

I'm calling on effort.
Trying to do things on my own.
Enough of this failed effort, I am going to just have to trust in You.

I talk to You and feel Your breath.
I'm wasting time away from You.
Teach me in your goodness, God, and let me have this blessing that You're offering.

Hmmm hopefully i can get some honest critisim before i get kicked out of this guild...

i am amist of writing my new 'book' or poetry (obviously the first is in my signiture) so i might as well try to get some feed back on some of the elements before i set them in the proverbial stone of PDF format.

New Media Love

Still,
playing Russian roulette
with my play list.

breaking that mix tape
you had made for us.
Stop.

Alights the songbird atop the branch.
Quiet and elusive.
To dawn now flying, after prey,
The outcome inconclusive.

Holding on to you,
Never letting go,
Our souls connected,
Never going to separate,
You, my dear, are my love,
We were meant to be,
No one could ever replace you,
My love,
No word can describe my love, my passion, my everything for you,
You made me complete,
Seeing you makes my heart jump with happiness,
One kiss, and my world seems more clear,
My love,
One tear, I will wipe away,
One fear, I will chase away,
One pain, I will heal,
One insecurity, I will secure,
One smile, I will love
One laugh, I will die for,
One hug, I will melt
One kiss, then I know we were meant to be,
My love

This is the first poem I've ever written.

It's rather good and rather great,
That Dayfurkin's become captain as of late.

Thank you for that,

I live among poets and writers of prose,
and yet to you all, a small rhyme that goes
for not very long, and is not very good,
but it's still my poem, and I did all that I could.

(Well, I didn't actually. >.> I just made it up then.)

I think I'm going to start reposting poems people have put in different topics and the comments with them to help reduce the clutter.

You have sad eyes.

You cant hide them behind that cigarette.

With every breath, you're smoking the world in,

Smoking me in.

And as you exhale,

The smoke spreads itself into the sky and

Borrows the wind's voice.

Endure

it says.

Smile

Pretend

Witness

it says.

Every puff of smoke is another link in your chain.

Well, I wrote this a few months ago.
All comments/advice are appreciated.

I'm not much of a poet, but I wanted to make a poem for my friend's 14th birthday. sweatdrop
We only see each other during the summer at camp, but we're best friends. So the point of this is that I made a poem, and I need help.

I need help with puncuation, mking it flow better, anything!
Okay? Here it is...

Highlight of My Summer

It's hard to believe
We met two years ago
It'll be three before we know

The thing about camp
Is the bond built in one week
It always gets me
How it makes others seem so meek

When summer comes around again
We'll play four-square in the sun
And no matter what
We're sure to have lots of fun

But that's not the best thing
Not even seeing friends and making new
The highlight of my summer
Will be getting to see you.




Alright, that's it. I'd love it if you could help me! Thank you. heart

Let's see...
Punctuation is okay... it doesn't really matter in poetry; it just depends on what you're trying to convey through the punctuation. It also has a lot to do with rhythm and the way that it's read.
Hmm... I noticed that your rhyme scheme changes every verse. Did you mean to do that? Try reading your poem out loud to see if you like the effects.
The 3rd line of the first stanza sounds awkward, especially the sentence structure of "It'll be three before we know." It kind of jars. I know that you were trying to make it rhyme but... I dunno. It's weird.
2nd stanza, last line- "How it makes others seem so meek." That seems really ambiguous and like the last line of the last stanza, a little bit out of place.
3rd stanza's flow is ok. Nothing bad in particular stands out. I just don't like the common-ish words like "sun" and "fun." But that's just me.
In the last stanza, you might want to put a period or something at the end of the second line; otherwise, when you read it out loud, it goes into the third line.
I think the problems can be recognized and seen just by reading your poem out loud. Other than that... it's a good start biggrin
