I have decided to make this my resevior of poetry. Check the end for latest poems. (pretty colors)

[color=Indigo]I wrote these two poems a while ago. I don't know if they are any good, but I hope that you enjoy them.

Resting before dawn amidst the trees
By Sheherazade

Beneath the hanging branches of the trees I wait
The world is bathed in moonlight
I sit and I wait
The sky is broad as the land sweeps under it
I am waiting here for morning
I hear a voice carried in the wind
It is morning that I wait for, all I ask
I hear echoes in the silence and the shadows of the night
“Morning will comeâ€

*claps* oh wait.... isn't taht *snaps* for poetry? ^_^

But in any event very beatiful ^_^

Wow. Very good Sheherazade. "Rest Before the Dawn Beneath the Trees" was ver y moving. What a beautiful allegory for life.

So many times it seems like we sit in darkness waiting for a light to come and then, a small voice tells that it’s OK, the inspiration, the joy is coming.

Very moving. Thank you for inviting me here.

hello. very cool poems. yeah. cool.

[color=Indigo]The Grass

The grass was just as green this side,
That’s what they always said,
But I never fell for that.
I took a blade of grass and cut it very flat,
Then laid it by the window sill to let the sun soak in
I took it to my neighbor’s lawn
I compared it by the cat
Someone said, “That’s not the way it works.â€

Those are all really great. Really vivid and colorful. They really paint a picture in my head. It's awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your suggestions on the poems Saint Kevin. Maybe next time I'll ask you to look some over next time I post some, if you don't mind.

hey, these are really cool! keep up the good work.

You used the changes I made hmm? Personally I don't like much of what I ever write, including the one or two lines for this rose poem. That's probably why I've never posted any poetry come to think of it, but after seriously looking at some of your poems and experimenting a bit, I realized again that making poetry is pretty fun, even if it never turns out as good as I want it.

Maybe I'll begin to write some poems again when I return to school, if nothing else than to get my thoughts out. Just don't expect me to share them any time soon. Glad I could help, sheherazade, feel free to throw some poems by me whenever.

its pretty good stuff, good work

Wow, that refrain was used 8, maybe 9 times...why don't you use it less, and make a chorus out of it. It'd probably make a decent song. Keep up the lyrical poetry, and if you need music to inspire you with rhythm, keep it up, it seems to be working. Good stuff

*lost*

Icarus wrote:*clears throat*Yes, rather well done.

Thanks, which one?

[color=Indigo]Untitled, based on a couple of lines by Saint Kevin.

Fear, dread, guilt, my soul stings,
Every nerve in my body alive with panic
My heart throbs, a crimson fire in my veins
Between terror and guilt,
I dread this knowledge that I deserve to die
My gorge rises, sickened by myself,
Entrenched in this world of sin
I’ve turned so far from all that is good or right
Oh God...
I don’t deserve to live
But somehow,
In the back of my mind,
I hear You voice
“I can forgive youâ€

Wow, those last few installments were great. For awhile they sounded like you could rap to them. The last one I especially liked. Keep going, you get better each time you write a poem. ^___^

These are good! I really like "Possibility" and "Identity"
Good job!
