Quick Poetry

[Lyssa]

This is kind of like "50 Word Short Story" thing, but with poetry. I won't set a limit on how long it can be, but make it pretty short. But write a poem about whatever theme you've been giving. Try not to think too much.

I'll start with a theme-- Green eyes

[Silver_Mystic_Breeze]

Green eyes are wide
with pure pleasure
at the coming tide
from natures treasure.

[Lyssa]

Theme?

[Silver_Mystic_Breeze]

Theme - Park Bench

[marina]

The park bench is cold
As I slight right over
But I shant be bold
By giving a cold shoulder

[pathetic, I know, I know :p]

Theme: true love

[Neha]

They say true love exists,
But I yet have to see,
A single man or woman,
Not hurt by this thing.

Girl Talk

[nat]

Jibber jabber in the night
as stars come out one by one
then fade away
as the morning sun
welcomes day.

Theme: Winter storms

[Neha]

Mom, whats that?
A winter storm honey.
But looks like two girls fighting!
Yeah, it's a winter storm, honey.

Music

[becca]

Music sings,
it strums and chimes.
Music lives,
it moves all the time.

Meat

[Lyssa]

Meat? Interesting....Ok...

As I stand at the grill
And watch the kids run 'round
I wonder what I did to deserve
Such an awesome life
But little did I know
As I sat and wondered
My meat was burning,
Melting my butter.

Lol

Ok....theme- Grass

[Neha]

Grass, they say, is very unique,
It comes in many forms, many tucks and nicks.
A blade here sharp, another blunt,
Watch out! that may be hiding a killer bug.


Internet

[Lyssa]

As it loads I do my homework
It takes so long I get it done
But when it finally, after long, appears
It always seems to crash.
The internet is a ghastly thing.
I'd rather use a book.


Memorizing

[Silver_Mystic_Breeze]

Caressing your sweet face
I commit your features
To memory,
Memorizing your every move
As you reach out
To reciprocate.

Theme - Rings

[Lyssa]

In my own mess
Of tears and rags
I watch that ring
He gave me fall
In slow motion
Like an action movie-slowed
As it sparkles one last time


Trust

[zorell]

I gave
one chance,
two chances,
three...
became a mat,
and you walked all over me

despair

[Lyssa]

Oh, that was good!!

Oook.

Um...

As I step out into the
Cold, dry air
I wonder why
You hurt me like this
Wonder why
You told me you loved me
Before killing me
Like this
Oh, and giving me this hurt


Ok.

Perfect.
This'll be bad.

[zorell]

Mama warned me
she said
"a fickle thing, love is"
but I jumped in
feet first
and frankly don't care
even if it is bad
I can make it through the storm
because I'll always
have you,
"I do"

Penguins

[Lyssa]

The way they waddle
Makes me think of life
And how we should
Just waddle through
Life, without a care
Love eachother
And always dare
To dream
And love
And laugh
And waddle
Through life without a care.



Lies

[themotions]

Under an umbrella of lies,
we huddle in the emptiness of false hope.
Through repition and reward
we make it the truth, until everything is just and area of grey.
The air becomes tainted;
The worst kind of pollution.

with blind eyes and an apathetic mind,
we sabotage ourselves with white lies.
No greater are we than what we have said.
I've been the victim of lies,
but more often the author, because I know too well that
Ignorance is bliss.

theme:
mothers

[Lyssa]

They say I look just like you, mother
I don't see the resemblence
They say we sound just the same, mother
I don't hear the resemblence
They say our smiles are just the same
But I don't know, you never smiled, mother
So how could I know the resemblence?
No one ever tells me, though
I act just like you did
And that, mother, is something, I don't want to see
The resemblence in.



Theme: Light

[Neha]

As into the light she walks,
She pauses at the gate,
Looks back remembering,
Everything she's left.
But as the dark she leaves behind,
Breeze rustling up her hair,
She knows it's time to leave,
It's time to say goodbye.

Death

[Lyssa]

For everyone, death
Is a ticking bomb
But, without a certain countdown
So when it stops
And erupts
It surprises everyone
But you have to let the tears fall
And you have to remember the happy times
Cause it's not worth it, to worry and fret
Just love life
And never let
That ticking
Take over



Ok....sleep

[zorell]

I was trying to catch
some z's
but kept dreaming you were
catching me
I just want to be
free
But you seem to so badly want
me as a girlfriend
You're invading
my dreams
go away, or I'll bust
at the seams
This is not what I want to
dream about
You are
my new nightmare
You are
my joy,
pain,
dispair


the genie in the bottle

[Moira]

All alone,
In a room so cold,
Waits for the warm hand,
To break her hold,


Dance

[Lyssa]

The stars blur by
His hand in mine
A breath of fresh night air
Spinning, skipping, dancing, smiling
Loving the way this feels
Like Cinderella, at the ball
This night, ought to never end
But soon it does, everyones gone
The dance floor, deserted and sad
But I lie in bed, sleep with a smile.
And in my dreams,
I'm dancing all the while.


Theme: Fights

and the reason

~it's unedited by choice ;)

topic: RAW

[Lyssa]

You hurt me again
Another fresh bruise
Open and raw,
For you to bandage
But you decide against it.
And instead walk away
Leaving only
Me
And my raw pain.

Ok, next theme: Air

[Lesander Arnaut]

Hello chicago, it is sunny and hot today and its friday in the big city. And next a one hour two for hour of straight oldies music







water

[Hsnodgrass]

Cold...
And,
Wet.

New theme: Mountain Dew.

[Moira]

I wait for you,
In the Mountian dew,
Surrounded by springs sweet call,
For you I'll wait till fall,
But if by winters time,
You are still not mine,
I will dance into summers breeze,
And live for only me.

Theme: Hunger

[Kacoshi Ajewl]

Growling pains,
Empty Heart,

I could really use some food.

Theme: Angel

[Toxic.Ox]

A striking light overcomes me, my eyes wonder as if im a new born babe
Senses invaded by an aroma of heavenly bliss, where satan owns but a cape.
An alien sort of comfort washes over my being, as if to cleanse all unease
A jolt of happiness courses through my body as does the need to please.

What stands before me cannot be described by mere letters
As the light begins to ascend, it takes its place as my better
Neither does the light dim nor fade, for it dissappears.
And the evil of the world again returns to feed on my fears.

At that moment, the term angel cannot describe what i had seen.
For this being surpassed all others, i knew this as grass is green

Theme: Happiness

[Anabella]

It stands here before you
The remedy for your craving
A fridge - so perfect, so true
Delicious food it keeps saving

Grabbing the handle
Carefully, you look around
Trying to avoid a scandal
You better not make a sound

After all you are on a diet
Should be healthy to lose a few
But the hunger is making you riot
Thinking:'I'll just have bite or two'

Two hours pass with you on the floor
Cannot take another bite
Stuffed stomach feels so sore
Vomit you just might

All the food is gone
Empty shelves stick around
The diet is back on
Hunger just cost you an extra pound





damn it...I guess I took too long....
I wrote for Hunger...I guess Happiness then...I dont know how to delete this
