I do poems just to get my creative juices flowing for when I have writers block for other things like papers I'm writhing for school or something. So I don't think it's good, but I'll enter for the fun of it. Sorry for this being so short.

kimiko lays her head down

The warm and soft comfort feeling of home

Warmth rushes in deep with her wanting the feeling of more

She looks up and sees him right then

His gleaming eyes looking into hers and back again

The feeling of hope and rest rushes in

Forever more she feels safe again

It's too bad not many people here do any writing, aside from all the kametsu stuff

Apocalypse

if today was like yesterday

then i wouldnt have to find a place o stay

for my house is ash

after the nuclear crash

though i still have hope

even if there is no pope

so does war never change

or is only the citizen the one to arrange

man life sure is strange

[Koby]

Can I submit a past poem I made?

In a Place I Don't Belong

In a place

where i dont belong

is where i happen

to have been

the past and future

they only exist

in this one place

the place I dont belong

in the days of sadness

where will i be

lost and alone

In a place

where I dont belong

tears begin to fall

as I realise

Im an empty vessal

created to only exist

in a place I dont belong

how do I prove I exist

maybe I dont

the past and future

In a place I dont belong.

[seirachan]

Oh god so many to choose from >< Hope this one is it >>

Why don't you hate me?

Why don't you hate me you ask

Because I love you I say

Even though that word means so little to you

It means a lot to me

My patience may be wearing thin

My heart may be growing cold

But I still don't hate you

What you've done to me

How you've betrayed me

Changes me

Bitter and Cold

Jealousy sits above my heart

I don't feel sorry for it

It doesn't feel wrong

I've been feeling it for so long

I want to run away

With something of yours

No matter how wrong

I've been wanting to for so long

I sit here waiting

In my sorrow

Don't let it be tomorrow

Why don't you hate me you ask?

Because I love you I say

Don't ever run away

[Nero D. Ace]

Hang on. I'll find some poetry i wrote back in 9th grade.

EDIT

okay, this is something i wrote when i went into one of my "moods" during my early teen years. this also decorated the front of the notice board during the annual school Cricket Tournament and was what earned me the title of "Rakshas Kavi" (roughly translated as "Demon Poet")

also, keep in mind that in those days, i was under the impression that a poem is completely filled with rhyming words at the end of a sentence.

CRICKET - AN EPICALLY boring game

The most boring sport of them all,

it is played with a bat and a ball.

13 idiots roaming the field,

from the rest of the world, their mind is sealed.

Sometimes they stand, sometimes they run,

how can anyone consider this to be fun?

For advertisements, they have to remain fit,

Therefore, they are the world's biggest gits.

The rules of the game are even foolish,

humans have thus become mulish.

You must hit the ball with the bat,

and run like the wind, despite being fat.

The fate of the game rests with the umpire,

look closely and you'll see he's a vampire.

If you don't wanna end up as a donkey,

play good sports like football or hockey.
