The Poetry Thread

[Sticks 1]

Lost in a world, unknown but expected

Dangerous to some, yet still I'm protected

The words, they don't matter, it's voice that I hear

A journey so wonderous, far away, yet so near

No pictures are given, but still in my mind

Each has a face, memories of a kind

And if mine were real, visions come true

Would that you realize, my face in it too

Wrote this one during church one day...never named it though

[Rogue 4]

I know it's not as good as everyone else's, but here goes. This was inspired by Anakin and Tahiri...

Wind

When the gentle breeze tousles my golden curls,

Like your fingers running through my hair,

It brushes my bangs from my face,

Much like you once had.

The wind upon my face to me,

Is like your gentle hand.

Warm from the sun it caresses my cheek,

Much like you once had.

Sliding down my jaw line,

Before resting on my chin,

Like your lips the wind kisses mine,

Just like we once had.

And every time I feel the wind,

Upon my cheek or lips,

I?m haunted by that first and final kiss,

The second kiss we never shared?

Cause like the wind you feared nothing,

And bravely leaped into the fray,

I watched the accident you couldn?t stop,

Helped the people you died to save.

But now I?m left alone

A shadow lingering in the wake of your smile

I would do anything just to be with you now

Much like we once had.

*applauds*

*hits a tiny gong* :p

[Rogue 4]

:lol: Crazy Wookie!

[Mara 29]

Hmm... I'll post my wordplay poem.. it kinda has Star Wars in it..

Force:

Causing motion or change,

exerting energy. Who

knows more about force

than Newton?

Every action

an equal and opposite reaction,

push shove move slide.

Force falls, abyss consumes.

?Use the Force, Luke.?

Words ingrained in

minds forever. Forcefully,

gently, Obi-Wan instilled his

knowledge unto his young

apprentice. Elegant

weaponry thrumming

against blunt forced attacks.

A blasting blow, trees snap.

Emergency forces stream

out with medical equipment

to find the victims

amid debris, chaos. Tears,

terror, reign superior

against bold efforts.

Swords ring, shields clash,

failing to accomplish immortality.

War wasn?t all Odysseus

envisioned it to be. Forgotten

and scattered bodies, turmoil,

destruction. What says the hero now?

A show of epic force blends

into a mask, a mockery.

Mirages cannot take down

what they do not see

emerge from artificial mythology.

Falling apple,

consequences.

All the knowledge

couldn?t predict the damage,

the fear, the pain, the

force of the fury.

Gazes toward the horizon,

look for help. But even

for the powerful Force,

the almighty life-force,

resurrection, rebuilding of life,

remains impossible.

Mysterious workings of

another unseen all-powerful

force ignites, not homes, not

lives, but hope.

[Rogue 4]

You

I love your sense of humor,

How it alleviates the weight,

Of the heavy burdens we carry,

And the painful trials we face.

And I love it when you laugh.

Oh how the sound warms my heart!

It?s almost as if I?m flying,

Upon the hearty notes.

And I love it when you smile,

I love your handsome grin.

And only I can see?

That sweet smile meant just for me.

And I see your lips and long to kiss you,

As I gaze into your lovely eyes.

I long to be held in your loving arms,

And never leave your embrace.

[Rogue 4]

*gives a round of applause to the one place where she can post her bad poetry* :p

[Mara 29]

I don't think it's too bad, really.

[GI_Admiral 2]

[Rogue 4]

*blushes* Um...thanks I guess. Just don't ask for a speech, I'll kill you in one of the threads I've gone Mara in.

Seriously.

*tries to pull herself out of in front of the crowd, dragging Ewing with her...or attempting to* Why is it called a lime light anyways? Why not an orange light, or a pineappale light? *ponders*

[GI_Admiral 2]

You're a poet, and didn't know it? Or didn't what to show it?

Yeah...

thats my contribution to the arts...

[Rogue 4]

See? *glances pointedly at Ewing* He's the one who should be up here. :p

[E-wing 3]

oh come on...... that sucked yours rocked..... and if you really want a pineappale light i'll make one for you

[Rogue 4]

awwww that's sweet. I'm good with the limelight though. i need to learn to keep my sarcasm in check

[Ayingel 24]

I tried to tell you that there was more to this

I tried to catch you before you walked away

But I guess the things I say don?t matter any more

So this is my chance

To tell you what I meant when I cried

What I said was true?I died

The little things that all added up

I?m a real person

It?s time you treated me like it

My life is part of the world,

But still you seem to think that there is nothing to me

I?m just the one

Who sits alone

Who watches and does whatever you say

Those days were never real

They were just your imagination

You can?t call me the inferior

I?m the one in control

And now you have to listen as I say

?Stand down. This is over today.?

But then again, is it just me?

Am I the one who loses everything in speaking the truth?

No, for in your lies I found you.

You?re nothing but the little bug under the chair

But yet you think that by putting me away,

You?re better.

But you?re not.

Those things you said and did

They make you less

You have nothing left to live for now that I?ve found you out

They were right when hate kills

It is killing, and now I have to say,

?You?re through.?

One more act, and I quit.

One more word, I?m gone.

You?re the one who needs to learn that I?m important, too.

Don?t think that you?re the only one around

You?ve got your own person to answer to.

So forget this. Forget all of it.

My tears? They were for you

And the pity I received?

I sent it back to you. That?s right

I pity you.

[GI_Admiral 2]

Oh...thanks ewing...shoot down my poetry dreams! :p

Blood,

Red like a rose.

Bleeding,

Down the road.

The cyber dirt-track,

Raw like meat.

Juicey,

Like you.

Six cans of Stella,

She loves it.

I look in the mirror and see

All those years were good to me.

Sometimes I get emotional,

Sometimes I do some stupid things,

Sometimes I say what I should just keep inside,

Sometimes I can't refuse a pie.

Blood,

Red like a rose.

Bleeding,

Down the road.

The cyber dirt-track,

Raw like meat.

[Andy 60]

Mmm... Pie.

That's the stimulus.

[Rogue 4]

Okay...i'll put some more poetry up....but only cause i'm way bored

Transparency

You grow more transparent day by day

As I learn to see through your lies.

And your inner light has ebbed away

Darkness lingers in it?s wake.

And you?re standing right in front of me,

But it seems you?ve been gone an eternity.

I want you to be yourself again?

But nothing I do can bring you back.

You?ve changed so much in so little time,

And I long for you to be my friend again,

For just one day at least,

Free of all this anger, deception, and grief.

[E-wing 3]

:) very good..... is it about anyone or is it just a poam for no reson at all?

[E-wing 3]

well i know it sucks and is short but here is something i did a long time ago

Darkest specter of the night

Stalking you from out of sight

You try to see with your light

But you die without a fight
