5 minute poetry - Page 2

*Clears throat*

I read the words
I hear the thoughts
I try hard to comprehend.

They're deep and full,
So beautiful
My mind begins to bend.

My little life,
So full of strife,
Begins to see a light.

I blink my eyes
And compromise,
But still put up a fight.

Another shows
His barest soul
I want to understand.

I feel so young
so very dumb
But the wisdom is inside my hand...

I forget me
Only to see
The inexplicable you.

You take my mind
And help me find
A new marvelous truth.

*for the awesome poets on this thread*

videogamerz2000, that was incredibly rude, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

On top of the snow covered hill
The wind howls loud with a cold chill
Here we find a lone snow covered grave
Barely visible, almost encased
It seems to have been long ago forgot
Of the poor soul who lies within this plot
Was it someone great that lived quite well?
Or was it someone whose life was in a cell?
Did they have a family or many friends?
Did they ever get to make amends?
Were they respected and well known?
Were they rejected and disowned?
What was it they left behind?
Riches galore or a huge debt bind?
Why did they die, was it foul play?
Or did their own ignorance get in the way?
Who was this person, does it really matter?
In death everyone is the same, ashes scatter.

videogamerz2000
just warranted himself
a 3 day
ban.

i imagine
he'll find out
about this
shortly.

this
is what happens
when you
get warned
and then
continue being a
jerk.

This Isn't Poetry
No complicated metaphors
of knives, wounds,
Blood.
No faceless masks
that sing, laugh,
Cry.
Like I said
This isn't....
FUCK

It's the sweat
the salt on his lips
heat on the back
of his neck that
excites him the most.

It's the look
deep in his eyes
radience dazzling
and the complete
akwardness of his
carefully chosen words.

Together
the sum of the parts
when all added up
mean dinner
a movie
and perhaps
more to come.

If it all adds up
into something they
both can enjoy
that is ...

Begin super tanka action now!

Poetry is words
Poetry doesn't need ryhme
Poetry is thought
Thought is of mind, not hand
Besides, rhyme I cannot do

Squishy Cheeks · 04-24-2004, 07:06 AM

Rhyme you cannot do?
Then Haiku might be for you.
Easy and it's fun.

When walking in the sunshine of a day crisp and fresh
the views beyond this window make me stop to catch my breath
and yet I seem to spend more time here each and every day
seem to push that beautiful world all too far away
I never really realised what awaits outside that door
because I'm always sat here, longing for just a little more
than this mundane life I've settled with, away from skies of blue
away from all that happiness of a world I never knew
I know one day it will be mine, but now I'm denied that right
everytime I take that step outside, I return to another fight
So do I sit here and waste away? Or step out and be bold?
One day we'll share this together, to love and to hold
Those days better not be far away, as I can feel myself want to break
these days of empty lonliness I fear I cannot take
And I know you need me here with you, but you must understand
there's a world out there waiting, waiting to take my hand...

A tunnel of light
blinding my eyes.
Is this what it's like
when someone dies?
Fast flashing scenes,
though so serene.
I see smiling family,
and smiling friends.
The stream of memories
never ends.
The light shines on.
A heavenly silhouette forms,
onward to the pearly gate?
A heavenly voice, my heart warms.
"Oh honey wake up, you're late!"

By Bloopy, Not me.
