Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

New poetry competition!

New poetry competition!

It's really just continuing the last one, but I don't think a whole lot of people are checking that thread anymore. So here goes--

The new theme is music! You can write about how music makes you feel, or what it is. You can write about a musical instrument, or playing in part of an ensemble... or Hamilton...

Anyway, be creative, and have fun!

(I will be judging on Wednesday the nineteenth of October, so please have them submitted before then :)

I'm entering!!!

~~~

It is a tall arch

Evanescent and fleeting

Tall and magestic

 

It's a waterfall

Opalescent with shimmers

Most colorful one

 

Stretching over me

Like a doorway to heaven

Paradise's gates.

 

It is a rainbow

Disappearing so quickly

Pretty while it lasts

New constest: Pick a song, and write a poem which corresponds with that song. Feel free to use the songs lyrics.

This is more of a song with changed lyrics... At least, I wrote it to the tune of the song 'As Long as You Love Me' by Justin Beiber. Typically, I dislike most of his music, but this song's tune just sort of fit. And... Um... This is based off of how I've actually been feeling these past few weeks.

 

I'm under pressure

Seven billion people in the world trying to fit in

Keep it together

Smile on your face even though your heart is frowning 

But hey now, you kno-o-ow

We both know it's a cruel world

And I'm scared to take chances

Nobody loves me

I feel like I'm starving

I feel like I'm homeless

I may well be broke

Nobody loves me

I ain't no platinum

I-i-i deserve

No-o-o hope

Nobody loves me...

Nobody loves me...

I'll be a soldier, fighting every second of the day until I can't, no

 

I say don't stress, don't cry, I have lost my wings, can't fly

I need to hold a hand

Nobody loves me

I need to restart

I need a friend

Or somebody new

Nobody loves me...
