I don't know if I'm the only one here that writes, but if I'm not then feel free to post your works.

Constructive criticism and comments only please, I don't feel like sifting through the "EMO!" and "cigarette!" posts to try and find real ones, so please be at least a little mature.

A non rhyming one I wrote:

Population diminishes,
The head count falls,
The babies are torn from their wombs,
They begin the decaying cycle,
Letting the world decay our human race is divided,
Among the greats and the derelicts,
But in the end we will all die equals,
And beneath the crust of the earth;
The skin of the dead will diminish,
Leaving only a carved sculpture of their own sin,
The souls divided into flows,
Departure begins for their second lives,
The paths are constructed as they lived,
Leaving only time to let them ride,
They can no longer choose what path to take,
Passing through the dirt; they are immortal,
The maggots and parasites are left behind,
Letting their souls ride pure into the abyss.

A rhyming one I wrote:

Peace is gone and I'm alone,
I want to feel the joy of home,
the love I felt when the place was my own,
what is contempt?
All I know is resent!
I resent my actions and my past,
I was young; I thought the moments would last,
all that's left is memories,
every day I watch them die before me,
look into my face with a mocking eye,
I hope that you aren't afraid to die-
because I will kill you,
I'm not afraid to loving go through,
taunt me again and I'll rip out your spine,
the blood on my skin just feels so divine,
I will murder your whole loving family,
I will make sure you know the pain that you gave to me,
family is all I have left,
no friends and no lover,
You will feel my pain,
everyone will suffer.

Haiku's are Easy
But sometimes they don't make sense.

Poetry is for nerds and goths...

These are the type of comments I discouraged, if you don't like poetry then you can get the forget out of the thread dip stuff.

There is no god
Face the logic
And don't say you can't
You'll never dodge it.

Wow Vert, I am saying...why do you care for poetry, you should be about...girls and games!

I care for poetry because it's a creative output for my feelings, thoughts, and ideas.

I think poetry is awesome VH.

Here is something I wrote;


Dreaming
laying down at a shipyard
i'm tired and looking at the stars
feeling relaxed, no pressure
and my eyes are shut

taking in everything but air
alone in the night, someones there
more calm than the silent waves
beat empty ships that drift away

these boats keep drifting on
the sky and ocean are one
transending into space
till the dawning of day
and when that day finally comes
the boats are well long gone
no one was around to see but me
cause my eyes were listening

a distant call wakes me up
but still my eyes are shut
the stars are gazing at me
then silence claims the sea

both worlds are so unalike
what's below and in the sky
it's darker than before
then the docks leave the shore

I can't see but i know
These ships aren't comming home
they have found their place
in the darkness of space

the shore was left behind
stranded in a world so blind
feeling like i missed a chance
laying alone in the sand

my dream
was of the sea
you were there
you were drifting

Dude that was a loving amazing read!

I can't get over how sucked in I am by it, would you care if I wrote a song for it?

I saw drones,
no more than five or six,
swirling in a haze around me,
their home teetered on a tiny stem,
I felt myself lifting off the ground,
uneasy silence gave way to a cry of pain,
I fell to earth with a lump on my arm,
right next to the baseball glove,
legs akimbo,
I was stung.

Goddamn bees...


[Based on a Boards of Canada song title, I wrote this in 5 minutes just for fun]

Hm, lets see shall we?

Shakespear? Perhaps a Nerd but EXTREMLY succesful.
Serj Tankian? Hes like a god to me, He uses poems to express his feeling and ideas. He even published a whole book. Serj Nerd? Nope.

Ronin I liked your poem, haha it was interesting. Feel free to write a song for it but just source the lyrics to me.

Here is another thing I wrote.

It's Us

we all hit that state
why are we packing where are we going
we all hit that state
but all of us will return someday

chasing our dreams far
we're just wishing and we all are hoping
some do hesitate
and blindly watch their wish fade away

it's us..

it's us..

There's too many we blame
too many deep cut grudges we're holding
i guess we're all the same
these whispers echo and all they say is

it's us
we don't believe hard enough
it's us
the mirror is our own handcuffs
it's us
our pride is tough but our hearts are soft

I like poetry when it doesn't have to do with sad and evil things.
VerticalHorizon, you are writing what I dislike.
Why do people think poetry has to be about writing negative things in detail?

Off-topic and NON serious joke: lol emo poerrty.

Haiku's are Easy
But sometimes they don't make sense.

I chuckled.

Get out Mega, if you don't like it then don't post; what a cigarette.
