Poetry

[lord_carbo]

Meh, there are way too many "emo/goth" poems out there. Noone can ever be cheerful in poetry. That, and free verse emo/goth poems are much easier to make than nursery rhymes. Takes 5 minuites to make and takes about no thought. Falconsfan did a pretty good interpretation.

Well, here is my poem:

Five Meals
By me

Today I have strangely
been in the mood
To eat a hill
a mountain of food

A breakfast for four
Makes me want more

Lunch for a king
Is hardly a thing

An elephant snack
I gorge and attack

Dinner is big
I eat like a pig

Yet a small desert
Makes my tummy hurt

[Tank101]

They are all so good! There's a site, www.poetry.com , if you post a poem of yours on there, there's a huge chance you'll get it published. Im actually getting one of my earlier poems that i wrote 2 years ago published. I was really shocked when i found out because i didnt think it was really all that good. And just a quick note, you dont HAVE to post sad/dark poems, skooter, if you have happy poems, feel free to post them, i'm just no good at writing happy ones, i guess i started the thread off on the wrong foot in that respect. Sorry about that.
Again, I love those poems, they're excelent, i was afraid for a while there that there was absolutely no poets on the forums, apart from people who decided they just wanted to make fun of so called "emos". Thankfully i was proved wrong, poetry is a great way to express feelings, and i'd hate to see it dissapear into nowhere.

I'm sorry to be the one to burst your bubble, but poetry.com is somewhat of a scam. You see, if you submit a poem, even if it isn't good at all, they'll publish it in a book along with lots of other poets. They can easily make so many books for no cost, because since it's making it seem like the poet is a winner, they don't have to pay royalty fees for the poems, they just want people to buy the books.

I know all this because my friend Kayla got her poem published in a book of theirs. She, luckily, received a copy for free. We did research, and it turns out a lot of the poets had to pay for a copy of the book.

So if you don't have to pay, cool, you got your poem in a book. If they ask you to pay, tell them to screw themselves.

EDIT: I'm sorry I don't have any poems to input, just thought I should let you know all that. Also, you can look it up yourself. Search google.
Also, sorry I had to be the one to tell you.

I have many poems ive written in a past but no real recent ones, they are super emo for the most part. When i find my note book of poems ill select a few and post them


EDIT1:

Poem 1

In the darkness
all the horrible lies
are ended by
silent cries
of the most
unbearable kind
the never ending pain
that scorns your mind
is released as the vien
is punctured with a blade
hoping the scars
may one day fade
as well as the torture
and the roll is payed
in the execution
of the years you've stayed


Poem 2

Frustration
Sufication
contemplations of Suicide
are all reflected upon
the night you are to die
Thees no end to the pain
you feel inside
you care no longer of the rule
or limits you are to abide
for now all that matters
are the drops of crimson
as you watch them splatter
upn the ground
which will soon become a mound
as you lay insdie
and the people morn
the day you died
not knowing quite sure why
you just gave up
instead of try
not knowing of the pain
or how they
had been so vain
not seeing thats why
you had been slain


poem 3


a sudden sense
i want to die
tiny tears
flooding each eye
senseless thoughts
scamble in my head
all of them about
wishing i was dead
i start to think
how others will feel
tiny shivers
run down with a chill
i realise
they wouldnt even car
if i disappear
and suddenly wasnt there
no one would even notice
until much time had passed
so i take a deep breath
which veyr well maybe my last.


Song 1

Chorus:
Loosing control
your bodies numb
memories are gone
your life is done
theres nothing to live for
no one loves me
your like will be over
even though its so
In-Com-plete

There are so many ways
to end it all
you make your decision
no one ever saw
they never knew it was coming
never thought twice
always asumed
your life was so nice

(chorus)

They all ask questions
at the crime sence
'He was such a good boy,
How could this be?'

Watching the termoil
from a place up above
you want to reach out
and show them your love

(chorus)

Sitting around
thinking about
what you have done
probably shouldnt have
picked up that gun
shouldnt have
ended it
you could have worked out
all the bull shit

(chorus)


Song 2:

i want to hide
make a disguise
and protect my self
from all the lies
maybe then
the pain would subside
keeping me alive
i dont want to die


A gun to my head, i stop
pres rewind
see why i am here
before i leave everthing behind
images run rampat in my head
all the times
i wished i was dead
all the tears
and all the fears
memories of horrid fights
and long ass nights
there is no way this isnt right


I wish i could hide
Maybe then
i would have still been alive
make this pain subside
i dont want to die

as the blood runs down his arms
he is suddenly alarmed
with visions of what
cuase the pain
and all the people
who had been so vain
he thinks of the names
he has been called
and all the times
he has been mauled
in his last breath
he takes his blood and writes

i wish i could hide,
make a disguise
and protect myself
from all the lies
maybe then
the pain woudl subside
keeping me alive
i dont want to die

He comes in intoxicated
she stands there
isolated
knowing the pain
that is to come
she wonders why
hes such a drunken bum
he doesnt realize
when he hurts her
he is becoming
the real murderer
The long nights
in the bed
followed by huge fights
and her bloody head
the only for him to return
and find her dead

I wish i could hide
maybe then
i would still be alive
make this pain subside
i dont want to die


I dont want to die


okay im done.

I tried my hand at this poetry thing.

--

You don't look at her from across the room
You look at her sitting next to you
And you don't think about how nice she looks
You tell her
Except for her pigtails

She doesn't smile from across the room
She smiles sitting next to you
And she doesn't think about how good you look
Because she doesn't like that shirt
Except, maybe a little

There's a play on stage, it might be funny
But you're not paying much attention
The real star of the night is sitting next to you
And you tell her that
And she just goes, "Shut up."
But doesn't mean it, because...
She smiles.

The leading man might be on stage for everyone
Except her, because she's only seeing you
Right next to her
And she tells you that
And you smile, and shove her a little,
But then laugh and say, "I'm sorry."
But you're not.

The light is on stage
But the light is in her eyes
And you don't need to say a word
Because it is in yours, too

The doorbell goes off in the play
But you don't hear it
Your heart is beating so fast, it's pumping air
And that's all you hear

But don't worry:
Hers is too.

The play is over, and the cast bows.
You would applaud
She would applaud
But you each have a hand
In each others hand
And that is better than applause.

The theatre empties
But you can't move
Frozen in the moment?
Let's not be cliched.
Frozen...
With her.

There's no one left
And she's not moving.
Frozen in the moment?
An overused device...
Frozen...
With him.

Together.

Mal, that is awsome, you mind if i show that to my friend? He'd love it...he's like madly in love with this girl, and he cant tell her, and i rekon he'd really like that.

[MalReynolds]

Go right ahead =D

Mal

[Vamps]

Thankyou ^^ People, if you have any poems by any good poets other than yourself, try posting them, and maybe even putting your opinions with it. If you cant write a happy poem, find one and post it, im trying to find one myself, but i'm stacked up with exams --_--".

[MalReynolds]

I try to help
I ask if I can
I tell jokes
You laugh
But it doesn't help

I try to help
I see if I can
I give advice
You nod
But it doesn't help

I try to help
I know I can
I listen
You speak
But it doesn't help

I try to help
I know I can't
I'm silent
You're silent
And I'm helpless

Mal has a way with words. I really like your poems.

Really. Your poems are like the ice cream of the literary world.

[Tokzic]

Mal, that second one was pretty good, though the first one was really awkward.

I myself enjoy writing poems much more than I enjoy reading them. I write them as emotions run strong, then throw them in some random contest, get something in exchange for the emotion, and forget about them, so I have nothing to post, really.

Now if there was a short story thread... I would just own that.

[MalReynolds]

I think you can make your own threads for short stories. At least, that's what I've always done. Create a thread and own it up, son.

[suicidalmuskrat]

I like that first poem a lot, Mal...Very well done...I haven't written poetry in a real time. Anything I've written lately is just flat-out bizarre. Oh, and Vamps...Absolutely DO NOT send any money to poetry.com....I think i've had like 6 poems published, and they keep sending me letters to give them money. Once I wrote a poem for them under a different name in order to enter for a contest, I wrote it in about 30 seconds and they sent me a letter for that one as well. I'll see which ones I can find...they're all from like 3 years ago, and all fairly emo, I presume...and they all rhyme.

Here's the one I wrote in 30 seconds in order to enter a question:

Wiggles

going here, then going there
now leaving me alone and despaired.
the wigglers never seemed to care
that i was one of them.
the wigglers trampled many towns
they turned the village smiles to frowns.
without ever thinking to turn around
to help the poor town out

END

Here's an emo one:

Saddest

Happy makes you less profound
Contentment makes you weak,
So keep you hopes upon the ground
Life is best when it is bleak,
For then it makes no claim
To that of which the dreamers speak.
One should take no higher aim
Than miserable life,
Yes, on the cross salvation came.
Souls grow strong through only strife
And rot when they are safe
For civilized is Satan's knife.

Why live in bland security
When death is to be had?
What meaning in contentment
Is worth my eighty years, too short,
By any standard to justify avoiding
Catastrophe, and bitter joy
That only comes from trial.

END

I wish I could find some of my newer/school stuff...Those tended to be much better. I remember a couple real cool ones, but doubt any of those are around anymore.
