Hey everyone. Hows about I make a thread where you can post poetry of your own making and have others (bluntly but kindly) critique it. Ill even start it off with one of my own.

Complications

If only I could hope to see
The sky above
or the sea below
so I could know
eventually
that the world
was made for me
If only I could try to sense
the truth behind the garbled words
A translation of the text
so that even the next
piece of evidence
can solve all
of the nonsense
I wish that I could speak to you
comforting words
for you to hear
and to hold dear
If I could but only speak true
all of the things
that you are due

Interesting idea, your poem is good. Here's one of mine(I made it up of the top of my head. It has a secret message inside too!):

Please return soon,
Ordinary housewife screams,
Kill her, kiss her sounds in my mind,
Evolve beyond the norm,
Malevolence is underated,
Old ways creep through me,
Neither side of me resisted.

She lay there stiff,
Unmoving,
Cute in her tranquility.
Kill her, kiss her,
Such grace...

You see, the poem itself is inconsequential (a guy kills his wife). The first letters of each line spells out my message.

umm here's a poem i found from a game i played years ago...

Insanity leads to chaos
then to solitude...
the friutless effort of adding
meaning to what is meaningless

a lone crimson tear
falls to the sea...
the echo of the remaining star
cries to the infinte vacuum

All i could do
is send my prayers
setting sails on dreams...

ROQ, you have too much time on your hands.

heres another

For Me

I want to tell you a story
about a cool guy
who saw many things
out of each deep blue eye
He heard many stories
people told him their fears
they told him their sorrows
and things to redden ears
the cool guy did listen
and gave his advice
he liked helping people
It made him feel nice
the stories kept coming
so much through the years
that he became overwhelmed
and was brought to tears
but the cool guy told no one
he kept it inside
he thought he could handle it
and oh how he tried
then something happened
the guy fell in love
all worries were vanquished
it felt like help from above
he forgot all his worries
at least for a while
he helped only the girl
he used all of his guile
but the girl loved another
she had said as much
so the guy was helpless
he could look but not touch
the guy was depressed
he felt so alone
and all of his worries
came crashing back home
he sat deep in thought
on one sleepless night
and came to realize
he would be all right
he could still love the girl
while she loved another
he would persevere
as the big older brother
the guy was happy again
he had purpose in life
he would help others again
and get them through strife
the cool guy is back
feeling fresh and new
and you can see peace
in his eyes that are blue

Here's a haiku that I wrote:

Crushed red strawberries,
Upon a clean white towel,
Let us feast our eyes.

Wise Man says: "Take a dog off its leash and it will wander."

Every great hero that has ever lived,
They lived for one thing and one thing only,
They live for themselves, for their pride and glory,
That’s what made them survivors
That’s what made them a legend......
(Excerpt from Miriel of Concordia)

If I fall,
I will rise again,
If I die,
I will revive again,
If I Lose
I will gain it back
I will return.....

Thank you Ketsuki Heres another one:

Madness

I feel the pressure inside
emotion made physical
words will not describe
full to the brim
overflowing
cant stop the swirling in my own head
cant stop the thoughts from coming
feels like madness
discontent with the way things are
want to be gone
want to be away from this place
depression and anger
like a stagnant well
it makes me sick
too many thoughts to sleep
trapped in my own mind
am I mad
has reality deserted me
have i gone over the brink
too quiet outside
roaring inside

And for the hell of it Ill make one up off the top o my head...

A Haiku For Gendou

he sits near his computer
filling us with animated joy
with wit and wealths of knowlege

and since Im feeling creative heres another one

Crying tears of crystal crimson
staring at the muddied floor
trying to forget my secrets

All of you are very good! Here's one I did for school!

Running, stumbling through the darkness,
It persued me as I ran.
There was no reasoning with it,
My pleas fell on deaf ears.
Gnashing it's teeth, it came closer.
Out of the corner of my eye,
I saw a cave,
A final sanctuary.
Without hesistation, I entered, panting.
Suddenly it was quiet.
Farbeit from me to question how the sounds of pursuit had died.

I hid there,
For an eternity,
Not happy, but empty,
A gleam of light,
Cut through the comforting darkness.
I stood slowly, nearly without strength,
And peered outside.
The warm summer breeze,
Caught me unawares,
As if the pursuit had never happened...
Where had the beast gone?
It had been so long...
Did it ever exist?

I was lost in thought,
Dead to the world.
The rendering claw came as a shock to me...
As my boddy was torn asunder.
I wondered how it had happened.
How had he snuck up on me?
Crimson bathed the cave walls,
And as the light faded from my eyes,
And my screams died out,
I saw neither I nor the creature had a shadow.
With a grimace I saw,
We were connected at the foot.
My shadow...
I could never run from him...

That's it! Hope you guys like it! It's really dark! I don't know why, I'm a pretty optimistic guy...

I wrote this but I don't know if it is good.


Tears upon my face, burning my skin
Unknown emotions, my heart is achening.
Cannot find the light in this darkness
Using masks to hide what I feel,
I’m lost now, can’t find my self,
Can’t recognize me

Alone...
I am a prisoner of my own feelings
I can’t scape. I’m living in the darkness

I wish I could show my feelings
If I had the courage
I’ll tell you what I feel
But my heart is weak
And no words walk out of my mouth
Just a silent tear, can you feel me now?

The only thing I want to do
is hold you tight
But when you are near
Is hard to breath
My heart beats fast
There is nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
If I could only let it flow
If I could just say
I love you
