5 minute poetry - Page 69

Something is soaring through the air
I think you better beware
It casts a huge shadow
And gives a large bellow
Which sounds like a mighty roar
With powerful flames it did pour
To toast it's lunch in the sky
The green dragon ate bird pie.

If I were you, I'd run
In case it's having fun
She might still be seeking for food
Or in a terrible mood
Either way watch for the flame
Because dragon's are hard to tame.

"Grass bridge"

I stare across the chasm
The other side is beautiful
With grass so green
And flowers so radiant
I long to be in such a place

Down the chasm a river flows
White water lashes it sides
Jagged rocks form isolated islands
Dangerous, for it is death to fall in
Would I risk it for the prize?

A rope at my side
Determination in my eye
I throw the fragile thing
Over the gap and it connects
I am victorious, or so it seemed

I make it to the other side
Oh how wonderful it is!
Still, I can only visit
Because that grassy plane
Is not welcome to strangers

Scary at first
With palms sweating
And feet slipping
I soon master the crossing
And I grow confident

This bridge that I have formed
Not of steel, not of stone
But of fragile, fragile grass
I took it for what it was not
And now it has begun to fray.

A foot slips through
I panic and fear again
The wind blows
The bridge sways
And I am in danger once more

Grow confident and you slip
Grow cocky and you fall
Such arrogance is heavier
Than a pile of stones
It will only slow you down...

Fear in my eyes
I crawl back to my side
Heavy breaths, pounding heart
And I see the bridge sway
And inside I feel something fade

For never can I return to that grassy plane...

Damnation of the Damned
Alone in this forsaken land
Where a knife in the dark
Is like a stab to the heart of hearts
But now what as the blood seeps out
Slowly like the cruel whispers
Of the unseen dark angels
Purging the love and sanity
Of the foolish mortals that are lonely

Take it as the leaving
While the devils do their weaving
All of them deceiving
They who are still believing in the
Light at the end of the tunnel there
Where the ghosts and dark angels despair
Broken and left behind
Watching as the world passes by
They bleed and they saw it coming

But then a gash in the planes
The final fiber of restriction remains
But they tear it apart
The hunger forever living dying
So the last left relying
On they of the ever undying
Dark angels leave at Chaos' speed
And do the ultimate deed to crush
The mental living of the mortal breed

So it is true
All of the things that can't work
All of the things that just hurt
All of the decisions you call your own
All of the decisions that you can't condone

So it is true then
The road that to you attracts
Always contains these hidden cracks
That trip you up and knock you down
So with every step the wounds compound

So it is true then, when
Blind faith is not always the answer
Negative feelings grow inside like cancer
You trust those feelings, all conflicted
Your own philosophy turned mad, convicted

So it is true then, when you
Put logic to what it can't possibly solve
Raising the shields in your mind, you resolve
To not make a single wrong move
You charge forward with something to prove

So it is true then, when you choose
Your heart is heavy, almost burst
You are afraid of something worse
You pray that things will work out
You quell those feelings of doubt

So why is it true then, when you choose
One of the two bad roads,
The ending just a heavy load
With what you decide then, you lose.

hey QQ, that was rather darkish, where did it come from if you don't mind my asking. (what inspired it in other words)

"I want to rule the universe"
an eager villain said
with cunning ploys or crushing force
in either way I'm sure to win
I am the best at being bad

"What a fool"
another said
with cool mystique and level head
a job like that would bring me down
what sort of evil leads to work?

"childish megalomaniac
thats all you'll ever be,
stop wasting all my evil time
with your stupid devilry"

and so he left that villain there
weeping with dismay
a fool's pursuit he'd made it seem
he'd rule it on another day

this one's dedicated to Dragonsbane, and his post made on the subject of ruling the universe, I've seen through his clever ploy.

Go look for my recent sketch in the "Post your sketches" thread.

And here I am, after some time, trying to come up with another poem once more.I try I to stay true to the "5 minute" concept thing. Though sometimes it is not possible, like many other things...

"Small talk"

Do you want to talk?
I ask, without further thought

But what is talking?
What does it mean
Is it a basic skill, like for example walking?
Or is it something more, something less?
Is it a skill dark and dirty or pure and clean?

Or is it something else?

I can tell you what I think it is
I don't know if that has any use to you or me

Talking is words
Words are spoken thoughts, though possible lies
Our thoughts do not lie, they are what separate us all from the herd
What are thoughts?
They are words only we our selves can hear, they are creations of our own little mind

So is it not a good thing?

Yes it is
We need thoughts and our thoughts need words

But the true art does not lay in talk
Not spoken, not silent

The true skill that not so many posses
Is listening

Just letting the words flow through you like water

Letting it all inside you and then back out
Giving others the taste of your gift

So that they may feel better

"On the road we travel called life"

On this road we travel,
This little road called life,
There are many things that
Stop us in our tracks.

There is grief in our lives,
causing sadness, regret.
There is pain in our lives,
For things we can't forget.

But there is joy in our lives,
Mem'ries of smiling faces...
There is love in our lives,
Single kiss of good graces...

For the ones who are weak,
For the ones so confused,
For the ones who can't speak,
For those with nothing to lose...

He will be there for them
He will stand by their side.
He will comfort them all,
In him they can confide.

Funka, that rocked. A lot. I'm giving you rep, since words just aren't enough.

Funka Genocide · 01-11-2005, 01:52 PM

Aregato gozaimasu Dragonu no bane kun!

You know of course, thta I am a HERO, and as such am opposed to your villainous ways. Alas, our alignments are too far removed to become a party...

but thanks a unch for the rep DB, I appreciate it!

here is a random poem, I don't even know the subject yet!

dirt so deep it won't come clean
a filth which holds the soul
in grimy claws it grips the whole
of persons too weak to wash it off
of men who will forever be

smelly, ewe!

sorry, I'm a tad bit inebriated at the moment, so tomorrow, after the alcohol has worn off, I will post a better poem.
