    Uhm... Poem

    taking it down. it's the wrong document, i know it wasn't a poem. the poem version of what was up here got deleted off of my computer, and it had the same title as this one. sick of people saying things i already know.

    the end was cool. i like how the kids were going around reading the tombstones for some reason ^-^ it probably shouldnt be in poem format, but otherwise its pretty decent. makes for a sad short story -.- keep writing!

        That's very emo like but all in all it was ok. Just some helpful writers critism I think u started it off very well with the ryhming but after a while it got a bit out of rythm. I used to write a lot of different poems that were also kinda long like this n I got one kinda emo sounding too lolz. If u wanna hear it lemme no!

            Hmmm hmmm hmmm... Sorry to inform you, but this is not a poem; it is a short story. Contrary to popular opinion,

            irregularly spaced
            lines
            do not make
            a poem.

            I do however commend you for your evident awareness of the spell check feature.

                Yes, I am aware of the fact that it is not a poem. I wrote this last year and I was unfortunately unaware I copied the wrong document off of my computer. Ano no, I didn't check to be sure I had the correct document. Why? Because I'm stupid. Apparently, the rewrite got deleted by my mother, who saw it as an old worthless document. -_-

                    Re: Uhm... Poem

                    I wrote this in high school as a homework assignment but I reele liked the way it came out, so I kept it. It’s prolly the most sophiscated poem I eva wrote in my entire life

                    Nightmare Scare

                    It starts out on a plain so vast,
                    Beyond my future,
                    Beyond my past,
                    I tippy-toe so light and free,
                    And let my wings above take over me,
                    I soar like a feather in the gentle breeze,
                    Beyond the ocean,
                    Above the trees,
                    Until I see a mist of grey,
                    All my happy thoughts fade away,
                    A storm cloud electrocutes me,
                    And I go down,
                    You know what happens next,
                    Splat I hit the ground.
                    And from a distant I can’t believe what I see,
                    A legion of demons coming after me,
                    I try to run forward,
                    But yet I go back,
                    Frozen in terror,
                    They jump and attack,
                    Cold boney hands clamp me
                    To take me away,
                    Never again
                    Will I see the light of day.
                    And on one side is a light so bright,
                    A face you cannot see,
                    With man’s capacity of sight,
                    And on the other side,
                    Sits a face so placid and gaunt,
                    Simply a face you would not want.
                    The judge of the other side,
                    The one that takes you away,
                    The one that makes you want to pray.
                    I know my morals are despicable and vile,
                    And now I realize this is my trail.
                    I see the scale tip from right to left,
                    And a rush of memories reminds me of my greed and theft.
                    All the lies I’ve told,
                    My heart so cold,
                    And in the past all the poor people I walked by and sighed,
                    Then I remembered…
                    Yesterday I died.
                    Yes this was truly the end,
                    And the scale tipped to one side,
                    “Please show me mercy!”
                    I begged and I cried.
                    But it was too late,
                    The scale already decided my fate,
                    And the shadows came towards me to eternally put me away,
                    To lock me in a crypt with no light of day,
                    As for the first reach,
                    They all missed,
                    But out of fear,
                    On myself I pissed.
                    The again, they reached for me and I kicked and I screamed,
                    But all together,
                    Me they doubled teamed.
                    And I felt my blood rushing,
                    Pumping through my veins,
                    All this noise and rancid stench,
                    Was driving me insane!
                    And I hear the sirens,
                    Screaming going through my head,
                    Is this what it’s really like,
                    After you’re dead?
                    A slap of my alarm button on top,
                    And suddenly all the noise seems to stop.
                    I sigh and I am covered in sweat,
                    There is no need for such a fret,
                    I reach for my pants,
                    And out of happiness, I do a little dance.
                    But wait!
                    I look in the mirror,
                    And there is no reflection I see,
                    And farther back are lurking,
                    The shadows waiting for me.

                        I don't see any significance really in that poem. It's supposed to convey something. But as that other dude said, it's essentially an oddly written short story.

                              I liked the first "poem" although I can't see how you could really call it that... it really is just a short story, but enough of stating the obvious (although if you have any other work I would love to see it)

                              With the second poem yet again it sort of was a short story but has no one here read the Oddessy or the Illiad [they were written by Homer]?(how do you spell that lol) That's a poem believe it or not, it's an "epic" poem granted but a poem none the less. This second work has a rhyme scheme and flows well; I loved it and if you have anything similar I would love to see more . I write poetry/songs myself however, 98% of the time they suck so much @$$ it's not even funny :P. Anywho off to stalk the forums once more.
