I don't remember if I posted this BUT
Got the giggles
Captured the laughs
Doin the wiggles
Just when the fun
Hits its peak
The dreaded hiccups came
That sneak
It makes your breath hitch
It jumps your chest
You sound like a squeak toy
That unwelcome guest
You hold your breath
Count to ten
Nothing… nothing…
Hic! Again?
Drown yourself in a glass of water
Shift in your chair
Hiccups make you
Fly up in the air
No hicc-downs
Those could be fine
Hiccups are bothersome
They push you to the line
Deep breath in, let it out
Smile and grin,
Give a shout!
You chased those hiccups away
All by yourself
You saved the day!
A giggle is birthed
Then another
Soon you roll around in mirth
As you straighten and stand
Asking, “who’s the man?”
H
I
C
C
U
P
! They come again.

I feel as light as a feather
Dancing on a breeze
Whenever you are near me
So I’m asking, please,
Stay with me,
You make things right
You whisper sweet nothings to me
And hold me protectively all through the night
You are the ray of sunshine
On a cloudy day
You light up my world
You chase the gloom away
You are my silver lining
On a storm cloud
You are strong and yet gentle
You make my heart beat loud
The look in your eyes
When you gaze at me
Makes me feel like everything
Like it’s just me you can see
Your lips are so soft
Your kiss
Sends sparks through me
Making pure bliss
Your touch is like fire
Both warm and burning
Both comforting but
Both warning
The oath of forever
Twines together with our voices
We vow to be together
Making good choices
You are the only star
On a dark moon night
Shining and shimmering
Always bright
I pray that we’ll stay
Forever
This way
Me in your arms
Two hearts with the same beat
Two minds alike
Two lovers winning the forever feat
For all of time.

Loud notes envelope
Dry eyes usher me asleep
Deep silence brings tears

Splotch of memory
Awaits the master of all
If it's even real

Give me a smooth stone
To hold secure or toss and
Watch its cold ripples

I'm trying to write a poem right now from a random text generator (it gave me three words to use in a poem: melody, blur, and prevent). I have a hook so far, but not really anything else.
Whispers of heartbreak echo in the dark
Lonely melodies, bring a light kind of spark

today I’m thinking about Laika
the first dog in space.
I’m wondering if the streets of
Moscow would have killed her faster,
wondering if she was excited to fly
and if she knew there was emptiness
and dust and light hidden above the sky.
wondering if she ever saw space and
if she did was it frightening or did
she think it was beautiful.
wondering if she knew her food
was poison, if she could smell it
and was afraid. wondering who
plays fetch with her now that she
sleeps in between constellations.
wondering if I’ve ever seen her while
watching the night sky.
but mostly i wonder if she was
petted and fed treats and told she was a
good dog
and if she knew what love was.

From the branches, a flutter of wings
Shadows swoop down from the rooftops and we
All have to turn
Quick!,
To watch

:'''''(
*cries*
this is the most poignant poem I've read in ages. it's so sad but oddly beautiful. Poor Laika, I hope she's in heaven now.

short poem!
So Far
Only when you
Fall do you realize
Just how high you
Walked so far
