The Poetry Thread!: Only Original Poems Welcome

[Backdrifter]

The market for such a thread might pretty weak. But, it's work a shot.

I'll start it off with one of my own.

A Party Man's Plight


On left lane do the cars always drive.
From the the east breaks first light
And two and two always makes a five.


To deepest depths does death dive
Caring not for a party man's plight.
Beware, Big Brother is alive.


Honey bees bumble back to their hive
Where strength in numbers is their might
And two and two always makes a five.


Her milky skin embrace, this is all I've
In this secret place we lay tonight
Beware, Big Brother is alive.


Why do many mysterious men arrive?
For nothing from their eye is out of sight!
And two and two always makes a five


In the House of Love, now, where I strive;
Where none can tell be it day or night,
To make my foolish memory revive
That two and two always makes a five.

I wrote this Haiku, years ago.

Jonty

Quick fists to my face
Causes me to call the cops
Oh, hurtful nephew

 

[SuBe]

Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue,
Backdrifter started this thread,
I think you should post too.

 

[Ahura Mazda]

A death comes along

A life goes on by

Affected we can be as sadness is all we see

I live forward letting go of the past

Even as the pass remains a part of me

I will miss those left behind but my life foes on bye

 

[Backdrifter]

Like an Ocean Wide


We were friends, before, and love did not occur.
My life a sail caught by a wind wooshing west;
Yet still my mind, nay, my heart remains astir
But only in pictures now can my eyes request.
I remember the summer night we did meet.
Rescued her I, from on high, an irksome spider
Silently swinging from a tree, thus did we greet;
Unlearned world of beauty opened wider.
Like an ocean wide are we now apart;
My poor vessel by Poseidon shoved.
Now I know not where a man should start,
For never such a woman have I loved.

And you see, my heart, she does not know
How many years, for her, and now still does flow.

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitments what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

* never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

a haiku:

superherohype
where all of the guys are guys
and the girls are too

Great thread idea! Here are two of mine.

Eternal Excursion
When I command my dreams I feel godlike. My mind bends to my iron fist, and my soul breaks the lukewarm cage that others have given into. Flying like a child that mastered crawling and walking, I set the sky ablaze with my testaments. Finally my dreams experience freedom. Free of my imposing grasp we chart the skies of reality until time kills our fascinating excursion. But true domination enlightens my hours of sensory perception. I bend those minutes to my will, and I force other travelers to join my smiles. We feel liberty and compassion, and we embrace the apex of our natural majesty. Forever will give me chances to make those moments extend past my encounters with them. Eternity will aid me with the tools needed to succeed in my journey. It is this reason that I ask God not for immortality, but for proficient savoring of uncanny understanding. Fate will hold no animation in this journey when my own hands were given the task long ago. Shalom, hotep, lafia, damai, la paix, and udo will all hear my call.

Pretty Words Are Minute to Reality
If she expects the world from you, she'll bail when you don't give her the moon.
She'll anoint herself as queen of many things, yet she'll never rule over kindness.
She'll go on and on about her "many" problems, yet her eyes will go blind to your pain.
She'll entitle herself to traditional benefactors, yet she'll ask for your spoils as an act of self righteous equality.
Her friends will surpass knowledge of the problems you unknowingly share;
And she'll leave those problems with false blame to accompany your painful confusion.
The superhuman expectations she set fail again to realize what she has brought.
From the store of her illogical mindset she has left you a gift of a love that's unfair.
But life is unfair as the privileged seem to ritually chant.
So the important thing is to learn the lesson, better yourself, and mature the mind.
That maturity will come in handy when the universe beckons might to the wise.
Life's lessons are just preparation for the wise.
