Nice poem September! I made this one up just now!
WAITING FOR A STAR
I sit and stare,
You were there,
We had played,
Then you went away,
Two years after,
No more laughter,
Your to famous to see,
That it's hurting me,
That I am a still waiting,
Waiting for a star.
This is the longest poem I ever made!

I think
and
I am
Is correllation causation?
Trees are
But do they think?

This one was inspired by a line in one of September's poems- you are my sunshine/ when skies are blue/ the sun is always there/ and a prompt- write a love/hate poem. So... (wow, my poems contain a lot of mythology references!) I'm open to critique as always.
heliophile
you
said, "i'll be your
sunshine" and i replied,
"oh darling, but i live for rain"
the sky was blue on the day you gave me roses, even
though i'd said a
week before that
daisies were my favorite. you
don't get it, do you? I love
you in the way that humans
love the sun- i can't
live without you but
your ultraviolet rays make
me sick. My skin will
turn to parchment under
your touch and
when i finally escape
you, it'll be
too late. can
sunlight penetrate six feet of earth?
"i understand now why
Apollo had an ego and
Ra was a king."

Astounding! Not really any critiques here. I think it's great just like this.

So, the style of this poem is based on one that Mei did on her daily prompt thread. The actual content is based on the Shadow and Bone series.
Alina, Sun Summoner
Beautiful and pure
Come up from the shadows
Don't let the Darkling win
Everyone is counting on you
Forgetting you're still human
Getting worshipped must be so hard
How I wish you'd let me in
I know that I'm
Just a poor Otkazat’sya
Knowing what it feels to be
Lost
My sweet, I am become a blade for you*
Now please let me in
Or we may fall
Pushing through the bounds
Questioning the making
Ravka will fall
So will I
To the lost girl
Under the Fold
Vying for a better life
Why, oh why did you offer
Xenia to the boy of shadow
You wonder how the world will end
Zealously, the world will end

*not a grammatical mistake. This is an intentional quote from the book.

I LOVE these types of poems! They must be so hard to write, though! (one of these days I'm going to attempt a poem like this. Hopefully)

I just saw this poem right as I'm trying to check out an e-book of the first book! Small world! Has anyone here read Six of Crows?
