Good (AUUUUGGGG!!) night!

 

My brother Jack,

Broke his back,

Jumping off the bed.

My sister Nell,

Tripped and fell,

When my little brother said:

 

How does mom have babies?

does she eat them first,

Like Nathan said?

Every night things

like this happen,

When we're trying to go to bed.

 

Spam guy says "tipi" That be Kemo Sabe first word from Spam!

Porcelain morality

Threatens to shatter

In my mind.

Shut your eyes

Take one more bullet

You'll get through it this time.

Swallow your pride like a pill

Drink it down with bitter uncertainty

Swallow.

Porcelain morality

Shatters in my skull.

 

Also Untitled :P

If you knew
What she''s been through
You wouldn''t judge so hard
If you''d felt
The words she''s dealt
You''ll see she puts a guard
So please excuse
Her eyes stained black
Because this girl''s been
Through Hell and back
If she knew
That she''d get through
She didn''t let it show
If she felt
The blows he dealt
You would never know
So please exucse
Her soul scarred black
Because this girl''s been
Through Hell and back.

 

I'd love critique you guys :D

Wow what? Good wow or bad wow?? *gets all worrisome and broody over people who say sarcastic 'wows' at her poetry*

I apologize for the ambiguity of my wow. Just to clear things up: that wow was not sarcastic or bad in any way. That wow was a wow of sincere amazment at the goodness your poetry. I've read a good bit of your poetry on here, as a matter of fact - it's always incredible. :)

I am also "wowing" at the moment. That was fantastic, Koffee.

I wrote this one in Composition class, but it is rather bad, and I don't remember it all so I improvised in places.

Taking a Leap (And a Chance)

Pairs of pale feet go pitter-patter/ across the slippery dock/ she laucnhes herself into the boiling summer air/ and waits to fall/ she has sent ripples in all directions/ she descends into the deep dark depths/ and bubbles burst from captive breath/ she searches for the light above/ the life/ to guide her through the murk/ she greets the sunshine with a smile/ and the others/ no longer unsure, jump in after her/ she has sent ripples in all directions.

Not really. I strated posting a couple months back, but I stopped because I was busy, so it's only recently that I started posting again.

 

Spam guy says "grwy" grr and why? I'm sorry you don't want me here, but I'm here so too bad.

Meh, here's some more :P

 

Refusal

I refuse
To throw away
My dreams
To watch
My life
Go up
In a cloud
Of cigarette
Smoke.

I refuse
To lose
My friends
My family
My self.

I will not
Shoot up
For a few
Brief moments
Of euphoria.

I will not
Drown
My sorrows
In alcohol.

I refuse
To lose
That girl
Who wanted
Success.

Won''t leave behind
The dancer
The artist
Or the writer.

I''m not going
To care
If I''m not 
The coolest
Just because
I don''t
Like pot
Do crank
Or snort coke
Laugh at me
I won''t care

I don''t mind
If you push me
Because
I am stronger
I don't need
Drugs.
I am the 
Dancer
The Artist
The Writer
Who is strong enough
To say

No.

 

 

This Is Not A Love Song

I'm strumming out these chords

Smashing out these notes

Trying to find the words

To let you know how much I hurt

 

Your broken little promise

Ain't got nothing on my heart

Because it was broken long ago

When you left me in the dark

 

If you don't believe these tears are real

Then shed a few yourself

The day you stole my heart

Didn't mean an increase in your wealth

 

I hope you think you're happy now

Because you made me fall

Both in and out of love with you

Now I won't return your calls

 

Your broken little promise

Ain't got nothing on my heart

 

^*cringe* I know that last one isn't very good. The first one, too, for that matter. But I"d love critique...*sheepishness*

I actually think you posted the first one on another thread a while back. It's good, though; they both are.

Determined

A dog digs at frozen ground,

Trying to get at a bone,

Buried long ago,

The other dog circles around the walker,

Of the owner,

Who takes out mail,

If the letter is about the dog,

Then I know what it says,

One word,

"Determined."

 

Inspired by a scene viewed outside the window of my bus.

Tears fall,

breaths held,

the end is near.

Then comes laugher,

and more tears.

tears for hours.

Can't see Sidney's post right now. Um, this poem doesn't have a title. And sorry if it's bad, it was made up on the spot. 

Summer days

Here are grey

And brown. 

They're just like every other day.

Dry as sand

Parched as a desert.

Rainy days

Aren't Mondays,

They're once in a blue moon.  

*crings* Yeah, that wasn't that good...
