Would anyone like to start a poetry contest similar to the photo contest that goes on in different forum? Basically someone could pick a subject then everyone submit their poems.

It is a great journey —
but you must do the walking
and have the willingness to change
and make the leap into
the next level of human evolution.

Become an inquisitive free thinking
individual that takes
responsibility for your life
and the spiritual accountability to live life to the fullest.

It's such an unclear nuclear prerogative....

That takes the people from their natural home.

It's an unconscious governmental policy,

That lets the people bear it all alone.


The businessman, he wants money,

The politician wants to make more jobs.

The little man on the land needs a paycheck, so he can feed his family

But in a hundred thousand years to come,

When the mining jobs will all be gone

Then we're left with a mess that no one wants, and no way to dispose of it.


Oh, the man on the street sees tomorrow,

And that new car that he's just gotta drive.

But his children's children will get out of here; that's if they survive.


And when the money's all gone back to the government

And your UIC runs out?

And the rivers are polluted, and the fish swim upside down...(whatcha gonna do?)


Because of unclear nuclear prerogatives

That takes the people from their natural home

Such an uncertain future for Canadians,

Because the people bear it all alone..............


Take it out of my yard and my garden

Keep it out of my lungs and my hair

If you think it's good for you,

Then stuff it in your own shoes and walk right out of here!

heres a Shakespearean sonnet I just wrote.

"Options out of 2

Plans of a structure, built with false sincere
The hidden flaws create the perfect view,
And feelings intoxicate as if beer
This becomes the connection of the two

If these bonds are true, flaws begin to show,
And the song remains the same, with new games
But if the flaws grow, it then deadens the glow
Never the less the goal is to stay same

Days grow old, with hope the connection wont
If they do, the connection wasn’t true
But if true, one wont hear, oh dear please don’t
And the sky just remains the shinning blue

Either way one of the two stays to be true
Be it love, or the other waiting to sue"

Nice stuff everyone.

It is so difficult trying to come up with a topic because there are some many that would be worthy to write on.

The rules are easy - just write what you feel. Try to touch that creative spark within yourself and let it communicate.

Good Luck


The Topic is: Silence

there once was a man from nantucket,
who tried to write a poem then said fuck-it

he got so damn high
that he thought he would die

and he nearly threw up in a bucket.

eldizle

I don't feel comfortable putting what comes out of me up for grading. in this type fashion at least. creativity doesn't come for me, like this.

sorry.

just how i feel.
edit


oh, a topic, okay then.


no, still don't i just don't. i really tried, but i don't.

Mango

Heres another sonnet, but in the spencerian form, that i need to do for school. btw, the topic choices for these sonnets are, 1. love, 2. someone or something that has really helped you, and some other choice which I don't remember.

"As Strange As it May Be

It may seem strange who the two that helps are
They have seen everything that seems to gleam,
And the pain that seems to dim the bright star
It looks as if they belong off a dream

These two are my cats, as hard as it seem
They’ve shown their faces since my problems arrived
Though they maybe frightened if I may scream
But some how they have managed to survive

They always run back and they take the dive
Rubbing against me, telling me it’s fine
If not for them who’d know where I would drive
And somehow they make me smile before I dine

Oh these cats fill a large spot in my heart
I’d hate to see that day when one may part"

Awareness, emotion, compassion and sympathy, all rolled into my memories.

Serenity now encircles us.
Oh, and if they could speak, what stories they would tell?

Of times so long ago, of people who fought, fell and fled the scene so that we could be free.

Appreciate the ones who will fight and loose their lives, they will be sacrificed.

I am a Warrior, fighting to keep us safe from our enemies.
Courageous and brave, we must not be afraid.

I’ll guard my emotions and vivid memories in SILENCE….

Lost lives, land titles, physically battered, shot, tears, anger, victory and finally the awakening.......

Horrifying memories that won't let my mind rest.

What a sacrifice they made, they fought and thought they were winning.

Silence is not the answer..........~

Emotions and thoughts stirring in my mind

I long for something that is divine

Just for a moment everything stops within

It is my new found love - silence

silence

when an angels wings
crumble
across the teeth
of saints and sinners
and onto the floorboards
of heavens back porch

when shadows slide
across the rocks
and asteroids
endlessly tumbling
through space

when you sit there
a world away
totally unaware
of me
too busy with your
thoughts and fantasies

thats when
the only sound
that can exist
is silence

Grieves

Man in Black

Here is one I wrote, it's actually about cocaine but it mentions silence..

Oh sweaty palmed pale white lady of death
your lust is unfulfilled by skinny boys
and your heart of hearts is inconsolable
it beats its mad rhythym and painfully ceases

The old tea-head woman does not compare
to your everlasting youth and confidence
you are my adversary and foe
but I am a slave to the dream you induce

I have been unfaithful to mother Mary
I have transgressed against the beauty she once exuded
but my nights of late have been restless and endless
the orchestra in my mind plays a quickened tune of senselessness

Speech is silver
but silence is golden
and when your cold clammy hands are upon me
I will be as quiet as the dead.

Silent Memories

Look past the night
Into the blazing sight
Within the blackness dwells
A raging silence swells

The feeling so dark
Emotions, empty and stark
You know the score
As I slowly unlock this door

We start to circle and spin
Perhaps this time, we will end where we begin
Silent memories are stirred
Played across feelings that refuse to be detoured

Ended?

Blinded by the pretty lights
Scolded in the terror filled nights
Dance your sultry dance
Shake your fist as the world passes without a glance

Promises propped against the door
A ward against what's left you beaten and sore
Reality jerks as it spins and dips
This is where we seem to always slip into this trip

You say it will be okay
With all that you can hope and pray
You fill your life with murderous lies
As your ripped asunder with a painless cry

Into the setting Sun
We will finally be undone
Into this silent night
We prepare for the final ending fight...
