5 minute poetry

[RaiRai]

I just thought I'd make this thread so that people can have a go at on the spot poetry. I'm feeling quite poetic right now, though I can't settle enough to write something specific. So playing it as it goes seems a good idea.

Carved,
wooden and yet made to bend
forced to yeild and comprehend
Unique patterns stain my torso
bare
All of the scars of the times I'd care
but no longer shall this tree grow
stop
dead center
No longer putting myself on show
giving up and in I cave
Resistance?
I'll just accept this early grave
Live as you see fit
a worthless tool of your benefit
Carved and severed
cut in two
belonged to me, now belong to you.

I got one.

Going home,
on the net,
posting somewhat useless threads on random forums,
smiling at the suckers,
filling up computer space or the net,
and making fun of people.

Ya....... that's what it's all about.

I know its better to do these things in person
but I don't care, so heres a note
despite your addiction to perversion
I'm letting you go the hard way

oh, you'll get over it, i suppose
I really don't care if you do
maybe you'll learn, who knows?
but I hope you stay as ignorant as you are

its best for me to remain superior
my fragile ego needs its victories
I hope you keep that exterior
theres not much else going for you

I'm so mean, it hurts so bad
blah blah blah blah blah
just shut up and be glad
I did this when I did

this poem wrote from the perspective of a jerk. No real basis in reality, just experimenting.

freeform structure, elsewhere now
find the tooth within a mouth
so smiling with all its share
of emptiness: without a care
tear it down and build anew
don't strike a chord lest it be skewed

never look or learn or rage against
all these walls so very dense
be what you must
and learn how to trust
the lies this world relies on
and wait around until your gone

just waste away without protest
never dare to do your best
it makes us scared, to know we are
beneath another, so very far
from what we thought we were
a truth we can't endure

I'll call this one "social monster", and now, another one!

with broken flight it makes ts way
to never ending shores of white
its body soars, so light and gay
within its heart is always night

so strong its frame, so undettered
by thund'rous voice of roaring waves
held aloft and unfettered
not knowing what it craves

oh silent beast of early morn
find your heart at all costs
I can not bear a sight so torn
as beauty from its owner lost

soar again! and higher still!
would shout but for the crashing surf
and pierce this haze with sound so shrill
to've made your time, and found your mirth

is all there is to do

i have Rai's old forum
im my favorites directory... um
but when i went there yesterday
noone had posted anyway
the forum was neglected since aught two
and its barrenness made me blue
i almost went to avriel
but im as lazy as hell.

To Her:
I fear to speak my heart to you
That such a step would crush beneith
Our blissful familiarity
And render cold and awkward that
which once was warm and comfortable

Perhaps you feel the same and fear
as I, that it is better left
If I mean more to you than friend
From mutual fear, I'll never know.

[rightwhatwasidoing?]

A single soul
surrounded by a crowd
who stand idle as the one
crumbles to the ground
some chuckle, others look away
but it doesnt break the fall.

But, on some rare occasion
one may pull away
out of sincerity and guilt
and, somehow possibly, a remote similarity

Is difference so important
that some must be declared outcasts, and by who?
I see no gavel in your hand
No perfection in your mind nor body
the soul you house is tainted with the tears and rage of others

and I pity you, one of the frozen heart,
True bliss can never be experienced
Those that cause anguish know it best.

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Although I laugh,
I have no fun,
because I know,
I have no one.
Though I have friends
That I can see,
They don't know
The real me.
When they speak,
It's to a mirror,
for my true self
is no where near.
Who am I?
I do not know,
so when they look
It's them I show.
I walk around, just as a ghost,
An empty shell
without a host.

*sulks back into the shadows*

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

What do you want me
to say?
I'm not sorry.
And I'm not going
to change who I am.
That would take
too long.
It would take too
much effort.
So I'm going to fall
asleep here,
As you shut the door,
leave,
and never come back.
Only then will I truly
know
if you were worth it.

*slinks out of shadows*

Pleasant, kind and sweet I seem,
but deep inside's a soul that screams.
I lie down here, wide awake,
Suffering from a deep heartache.
I've not loved, nor did I lose,
But to have it once is what I'd choose.
I know that life is just not fair,
but is it right for none to care?
Were I to die I would be missed,
but would any regret I'd not been kissed?
Peaceful I am, like a dove
yet still for me, there is no love.
