Well there's the Bible, and while I wouldn't call that a fic, it has poems. Then there's Peter Pan, and Alice in Wonderland, and uhm Until Death Do Us Part, and uhm War and Peace, and Gone with the Wind, did I mention PoA, cuz that one's my favorite, and Ootp, and if I get H/G in HBP you know that ones going to be my favorite.
A good writer will leave you with something that stays with you forever in your heart...like that scene I will always remember, where Harry gets his Christmas gift signed by all his friends, you know the book. Yeah, I don't think I'll ever forget that...wonder what fic that was from?

She meant well, and tell her thank you for giving us the news. *humming* Shower the people you love with love...

Oh....well it was still beautiful! I didn't know she went through without your permission, though! Don't be too harsh on her! You write amazing stuff and it deserves some praise!

Ohmigosh, I LOVE IT SO MUCH... while I was reading it. I sorta had already developed a sort of melody to it.I'll post it in another website don't worry I would put it belongs to you and everything.It's just so good I cannot resist.

Wow Shannon... That last one was amazing! I don't really know what to say. Your sister ment well, I'm sure. It was very beautyful. It really rendered me speachless!

I LOVE yer 1st peom! It really spoke to me. It kinda discribed how I feel.

Love,
Hermione

Er...thank you. I didn't mean to ever have this posted. Honestly. I didn't know she did this. I just did it because I was worried before...well...It was an accident...I didn't anticipate posting it here. I try to be honest in my poetry. Sometimes it's the only thing that can let me be honest...writing, I mean. Thank you for your feedback. I love you too, CJ. Thank you.

You're welcome, Shannon. It really was amazing. I'm glad it was posted. And I know what you mean. I dont write poetry anymore but I understand. The poem was really moving. I'm sure that's why your sister posted it. Thank her for me.
*hugs* Loads of love,
~Cj~

Okay, thought I'd drop another one on ya...see how you like it.

Oh and Ottery, dear? L'chaim-im is the Jewish word for To Life!

Second Look

I don't want to be a princess
I don't want to be a punk
I don't want to be the MPGINS
I don't want to get the hunk

I don't want to be the maid
I don't want to be the queen
I don't want to be perfect
I don't want to be cold or mean

I don't want to be a diva
I don't want to be a snob
I don't think I'm superficial
I just want to do my job

I shouldn't need anything
I don't want to be a freak
I don't want to be a crusader
I don't want to be weak

I don't want to hold an office
I just want you all to see
That I'm fine being who I am
I just want to be me

I want to make a difference
I want to change the world
But how can a whole world be changed
By one small, hopeful girl?

I want people to really care
I don't want a promised lie
I don't want them to dismiss and surrender
I don't want to have this dream die

I want them to be sincere and kind
I don't need them to steal
I don't want it plastic, artificial or fake
I want them to be real

Who cares what color your hair is?
Does it matter the tone of your skin?
Does size and shape define who you are?
No wonder I don't let anyone in

I don't want to decide my life
On a fashion magazine
I don't want to be that superficial
I want the truth to be seen

Through the eyes of a true believer,
I look at my own fantasy
I can be what I want, all I need is help
To finding the path to being me

I don't want to be a scholar
I don't want to be one who fails
I don't want to be shut out from you
I don't want to know I can sail

On my own little ship on the seaside
In my own little plane in the sky
Through the pages I write for my own piece of mind,
I make sure life won't pass me by

Everyone is a person
Whether we all accept it
If we just have a bit of patient respect
We can all get love like we deserve it

So though I'm no rebel or superstar
I'm not prom queen, drama queen or jock
I'm just a person like anyone else is
And I know I deserve a second look

*pops in doing cartwheels* Wheeeeeeeeeee! You've changed my world Shannon, if that helps, it's a start.

*still doing cartwheels* I do...I know I'm always glomping Ron *glomps Ron and takes him with him as he does cartwheels* but Hermione's my hero.

I think your poem is pretty...you know what I want? I just want to be happy. *still doing cartwheels, glomping Ron, and hero worshipping Hermione*

Write me one Shannon...about friendship...I want to use it in my long story...here's a title if it helps "Love's Friendship"

Ooh! This poem is AWESOME! It is beautiful. Can't think of no more words to describe it! (LOL) Love ya Shannon!

~Sierra~

Shannon!
This poem is beautiful, it's absolutely brilliant, seriously. It's really pretty, and quite profound really. I like it. Honestly, you're so talented...
Love much,
LadyV.

Okay Ottery. Here is your request. I'm so sorry. I don't think it's quite what you wanted, and if it's not, let me know, and I'll redo it, okay?

Love's Friendship

They say there's a fine line between
The genius and insane
Just like there's that territory
That comes with peace and pain

A storm at sea, a long detour
That line turns up. What for?
No line's as thin or frail as the one
Between friendship and being more

No man wants to wander aimlessly
In a dark storm on his own
Through pain and death and inbetween
No one should stand alone

A gentle touch, a soothing voice
An understanding heart
A sympathetic ear, a vacant shoulder
Can tear the fear apart

When two stand together, they own the world
And what a world it can be!
In our own soft fantasy of dreams and desires
When I've got you and you've got me

The years and tears pass by in a whirlwind
Of memories- joy and sorrow
The boy and the girl survived the storm
And have lived to see tomorrow

Tomorrow looks different now
No more unicorns and chocolate clouds
This boy has gotten older
This girl's matured somehow

Through the eyes of the old school boy
The world is now seen like it is
But he's learned how to cope with anything
When he has her small hand wrapped in his

Through the sighs of the blushing school girl
She's learned how to stand up and fight
For she's with a true friend. He smiles at her
And she sees him in a whole new light

Yesterday her smiles were just smiles
Tomorrow makes it radiant and real
She raids his thoughts every minute each day
And he can't understand what he feels

Yesterday his laugh was just laughing
Tomorrow it rejuvinates her soul
His face, his touch, his whispers
Warms her as the slow burning coal

Yesterday her touch was only her fingers
Tomorrow it's an angel's white wing
As soft as a butterfly, beatifying the earth
Makes her voice a song only muses could sing

Yesterday his eyes were only hazel
Tomorrow they're the gateway within
She can't get enough of the passion inside
And they're warmly inviting her in

The sound of her name makes him tremble
His touch makes her shiver and shake
Suddenly they both blush without reason
The foreign feeling's too much to take

He covers her hand in his hand
She looks deep into his eyes
They finally realize what's happening
And the truth can terrorize

What happened to friends forever?
Where have the summer days gone?
Security and ignorance kept the both safe
And now it is broken and wrong

With growing up comes heartache
Taking chances is frightening at times
But no one can stop the aging of mind
And all must own up to their crimes

One foot firmly planted on a memory
On a childhood, a friendship and innocent days
The other one hovering hesitantly
Over a force that could change so many ways

Those long afternoons spent together
Sharing secrets and stories and trust
Have shaped and shifted and formed and made
A feeling older than time's dust

The possibilities are endless
They're foreboding, scary and uncertain
And still the goot hovers just above a decision
Afraid she'll be crushed. She'll hurt him

But they realized they couldn't stop it
Could not resist it if they tried
When love wants you, it takes you
And true love never has lied

So they took a leap of faith
There's no going back once they've crossed
The fine line was broken. Tomorrow is now
But don't misunderstand that friendship is lost

For with trust, respect and love
Comes a friendship eternal for them
They're sailing ecstatic on the helm of tomorrow
And onward to another tomorrow for them

For they went through a life with each other
They supported each other with firm grip
For nothing is stronger, sweeter, better than
The miracle of Love's Friendship

Shannon, that's really beautiful. You know, you could say you're talking about Ron and Hermione! Though I'm sure you have much more 'real' people in mind. It's wonderful though, I like it.
Love,
LadyV

Omgsh, that is sooo sweet Shannon. *clap clap clap* Beautiful, Beautiful.....Gorgeous....LoL.....I write poems, but definatly not as good as this. I think I'll stick to only sharing my stories......But, hmm, maybe I should writing poems again....Keep it up Shannon. You write amazingly good. Not only with poems but also with your story......


Lady Knight Steph

Both of those were just beautiful!! A Second Look was so amazingly easy for me to relate to, I can't believe it. And Love's Friendship was wonderful and so real. Keep up the amazing work!!
-Erin

They were both wonderful!!! Have u ever considered being a writer? U kno, as a proffesion? You'd be really, very good! I loved the last one espesially!!

Thank you all for reading my poems. It's really sweet of you to take the time and get back to me about what you think. I'm glad you enjoy them.

Perfect World

In a perfect world
No one would be alone
But a perfect world
An unheard of world
Is one we've never known

In a perfect world
There would be no pain
In a perfect world
A sensible world
I might even be sane

In a perfect world
There would be no tears
In a perfect world
A blissful world
There'd be nothing to fear

In a perfect world
We'd live in peace
And that perfect world
That tranquil world
War, suffering and torture would cease

In a perfect world
The stars would always shine
In a perfect world
A flawless world
The ideal world would be mine

In a perfect world
There would be no hate
In a perfect world
A loving world
All would decide their own fate

In a perfect world
We'd all have a true friend
In a perfect world
A genuine world
Deception and betrayal would end

In a perfect world
Everyone would truly care
In a perfect world
A sincere world
The right thing would be no dare

In a perfect world
No one could lie
In a perfect world
An honest world
We would never have to say goodbye

In a perfect world
There would always be the sun
In a perfect world
An illuminating world
Everyone would have time for fun

In a perfect world
There'd be no death or disease
In a perfect world
A healthy world
Would bring the suffering their deserved ease

In a perfect world
There would always be hope
In a perfect world
A fresh, new world
There would be no reason to mope

In a perfect world
No one would be lost
In a perfect world
A united world
Life wouldn't have a cost

In a perfect world
You won't feel like you're drowning
In a perfect world
A consoling world
I could always help you with your painful journey

But a perfect world
Could never be
A perfect world
A fantasy world
Would be beaten by reality

That perfect world
Would be better that it may seem
A perfect world
Is an impossible world
And it can only remain a dream

For in a perfect world
There would be me and there would be you
And in that perfect world
That nonexistant, never world
Somehow you could love me too

You write marvelous poetry Shannon...but you know this already. I wish there were more people here to appreciate it...and I'm still going to use Love's Friendship in my fic...it's towards the last chapters if you're wondering why I haven't used it...

Uhm...Shannon...*hands in his pockets, looking at the ground* Uhm...there's something I've got to tell you...uhm... you know I'm not really an otter right???

Quote:

*A sound like glass cracking, hearts breaking*

Ottery, you are the best! I love you! And lol...I know you're not an otter. LOL. Okay, so I have a new poem..I had two but one of them disappeared so...

Birds of a Feather
I love, you adore
I cry, you weep
I'm saddened, you're distressed
I'm not strong, you're weak
We're birds of a feather

I want, you desire
I treasure, you keep
I walk, you stroll
I doze, you sleep
We're birds of a feather

I'm mad, you're angry
I'm sore, you're ache
I look, you gaze
I create, you make
We're birds of a feather

I'm frightened, you're scared
I'm anti-social, you're shy
I'm different, you're not the same
I perish, you die
We're birds of a feather

I like dogs, you like pooches
I have friends, you have pals
I get kisses, you get smooches
I say "girls", you say "gals"
We're birds of a feather

I'm hurt, you're wounded
I chuckle, you laugh
I wash, you clean
I mean 2/4, you mean 1/2
We're birds of a feather

I'm tidy, you're neat
I'm prompt, you're on time
I'm lonely, you're by yourself
I say ten cents, you say dime
We're birds of a feather

I say adolescent, you say teen
I think almost, you think soon
I pray, you talk to God
I say 12 o'clock, you say noon
We're birds of a feather

I'm cautious, you're careful
I'm living, you're alive
I feel sorry, you feel pity
I plunge, you dive
We're birds of a feather

I am right, you are correct
I am funny, you have wit
I'm cold, you are frigid
I mean jerk, you mean git
We're birds of a feather

But I want this, you want that
I say farewell, you: goodbye
And yet we both realize why we go good together
I'm a girl, you're a guy
We're birds of a feather

This are so awesome, I peeked through some! I feel so bad, for missing out on for so long! However, this means I can have them all in one go…*HUGGLES AND KIGGLES AND FLEES TO READ AND QUOTE*
I haven’t even read them all yet, but there’s no need to doubt your awesomeness! You rock my world!
That got me think loads. It’s very descriptive and it takes your mind on a journey right before you go to sleep. I’m printing all of these out…I’m keeping Night near my pillow. What better way to prepare myself to lay down and sleep than take my mind on an awesome journey with your poems? I could also see that your poems aren’t stereotypical. I mean, they’re not like the 4 lined three rhymed type. You have your own originality added to each one!
I luff the pace your poems hace. You might not even notice it, but you work wonders with the way you combine words. Many poems, by each day, seem to be getting similar giving out the same vibe. Yours are nothing like them; they’re simply “YOU” ! And, that was a compliment, even if it didn’t sound like one! I think I luff this one so far the most! It gives such a strong vibe and sensation. I luff how you add so many comparisons that we’re used too, but change them to fit in perfect with your creations! I mean, not everyone is this good with being able to reach people with their poems. Some just seem like a bunch of words that rhyme.
Your sis is so sweet! I mean, she actually came in and posted for you at a time that was so critical? That shows how much she cares…b/c that also means she knew how important SS is to you! So, this was a while back eh? *Wonders what the poem will be about* We all know what kind of person you are…Just simply one word…”PERFECT” (For me that is) You might not think so, but you’re like blessed with a talent others would kill just to have. Or imagine that they have. *HUGGLES Shann and her sis*
Awwwwwwww….No words…NOTHING…could explain what was going through my mind when I read that. My body was like in “safe mode” or something b/c I was just breaking down like crazy. It is so sweet. And, you’re just so lucky to be able to write this stuff down. I mean, you prob. were meaning to keep this to your self b/c it was so personal, but it was so breath-taking and awesomely atrocious. It’s so much better to be able to open up and I think it was cool for your sis to put it out there for us to adore!
You know what it reminded me of?
Anne Frank. Seriously, everything you said in that poem, she explains in her diary. Maybe some details like your birthday or your Irish background, are different but other than that it’s the SAME. Anne Frank is one of my greatest role models EVER! I look up to her in more ways than ever have in my parents.
She was so innocent and willing to see the good in everyone, and it baffles me ever so. I don't want to think of myself as evil, but whenever I read the book I can't help but feel that way. When I read Anne Frank and the things she had to go through, I always think that I’m doing something wrong with my life. That I’m taking things for granted when I should just be thankful.
Anne Frank was so resistant and so willing to do anything to live life it’s fullest.
She reminds me SOOOOOOOO much of you (That’s like the ultimate Compliment I’ve ever given out). She wanted to live on through her writing, and she did. She was sadly lost, but her soul and the love/dedication she put into her creations are still praised and remembered BY ALL! That’s the exact same thing with you (Except we still have you around to praise, THANK GOD).
That poem not only touched me b/c it happened to you; someone who only deserves the best b/c she herself is the greatest! It also reminded me of things that people have to go through. These “people” have done nothing wrong yet they’re put in the worst situations. You’re suffering but it’s not in your hands. It’s as much as in your hands, as it was for Anne back then. However, like her, your heart is so big and lovable that you just keep on letting fate take you to your destiny. With hope, love and the prayers of others, you were able to surpass and allow us to witness your awesomeness over and over and over again! I hope you continue to have this effect on all who read and come across your simple beatific words from the heart!
Like everyone has mentioned, they’ll never forget the poem. Why, you might ask? It’s just the fact that you are so innocent and talented. How could anyone read your works, and not feel the deep sensation in the pit of their stomach? How could they not feel the tingle stirring through nerves throughout their whole body? How could they not read unblinking beginning to end because of the possibility that one blink will mean numerous tears flowing down? How could they not learn to luff you through the strong characteristic-like spirit that becomes a part of their souls? A simple answer, They can’t!
Once more, Awesome like the rest! Shann, I’d like to get your permission for something (If you can’t do it yourself). I luff Chicken Soup For the Soul, small stories/ poems written by teens for teens, and I’d really luff it if you’d allow me to submit some of your poems there? It’s really cool, and like you’ve seen, you’ve worked miracles with the people who’ve read these on SS…What would be better than working your magic for people all around? If you’d like to do it yourself, it’d be even better! I just hope one day, I’ll read through Chicken Soup and see your awesome poems published! (www.chickensoup.com)
Once again, This is just like Anne Frank. In her diary, there’s a chapter that Anne shares with us about a certain dream world of hers. It’s the exact SAME as your perfect world except in diff words. How does it feel to be compared so much to one of the greatest kid writers EVER? You’re just as awesome as Anne.
THAT IS SO CUTE! I think it’s my fav after the L-O-V-E poem! I mean, even though some peeps consider themselves opposite of their best friends b/c they see things diff. you learn later in life, that deep down, you’re friends b/c you both are so similar…that prob didn’t make any sense…Well, It was awesome nevertheless…
That’s all????? Come on, I want more of your awesomeness! *looks at the time* Okay, Okay, I’ve been reading/quoting for a while but still…I CAN’T WAIT FOR MORE!
PAMS whenever you can,
Luff Always,
Riddle Queen Tina

Time to Let it Go

No more worrying
No more ache
There's too much now
At stake

Too many sorrows
Too many fears
They have been dashed
By the one I love
For so many years

You try to hunt me down
To hurt and punish me
But I don't think that's how it will go
For you to make me see

You're not my everything
You're my nothing now
I don't need you like I thought
So just tell me how
You get to me everytime

Losing trust
Losing hope
Losing you
Losing it all

Is there a healing for this?
Is there some type of cure?
You ripped my heart out
When I saw you with her

You've killed our chances and future
You're stubborn
You're mean
And anything you can do
To keep hurting me
Yet I can't let go of you

I don't want you
I don't want you to go
So my mind continues the empty argument
Of which you don't know

Forgiveness is yours
But you don't deserve
Heartache is mine
But do I deserve?

So it's time to let go
It's time to let go
It's time to let go
It's time to let go

If only I could let go
If only you could let go
If only we could let go
Then maybe I wouldn't hurt

He picked her
He wants it both ways
I want out
But I feel a strange praise
From him to stay

Can I deny him?
Can I refuse him?
Should I deny him?
Should I refuse him?

Yes

Time to let go
For both of our sakes
In this sick fantasy we called love

Time to let go
Of something so fake
Something that was hardly ever love

So I let go
I let go
And he left
And I'm glad

I let go
And he's history
He's finished
And somehow
No matter how much I smile
No matter how much he hurt me
No matter how short or long while
No matter what he made me see
I still mourn
I still cry
I'm still sad
For saying goodbye

I let go
But I never really let go
Someone save me
For I can't do it myself

The time to let go
Has gone and passed
I still think of him
Even though I'm free at last

But I knew that it was
Time to let go
Time to let go
Time to let go
Time to let go

I hope he k new that it was
Time to let go
Time to let go
Time to let go
Time to let go

Another poem for whoever drops by! TINA I LOVE YOU!

No Me Ames
(Do Not Love Me)

No me ames
I'll hurt you
No me ames
I'll break you

No me ames
I'm falling
No me ames
You're calling

No me ames
I'll disappoint you
No me ames
I'll desert you

No me ames
You're too good
No me ames
I never could
Be what I should
And believe me, I would
If only I could

No me ames
We'd just die
No me ames
Just say goodbye
And watch me cry
We could never fly
So why even try?

No me ames
Get going
No me ames
Stop showing
How love could start growing
And I'd only be throwing
Away what might begin flowing

No me ames
It can't last
No me ames
It's only the past
That's gone way too fast
So put up the mast
Because this spell is not cast
And look your last
Possiblities too vast

No me ames
Why do you want me?
No me ames
You can't see
All I'd be
If you...If we
We'd never be free

No me ames
Do not love me
No me ames
Do not love me
No me ames
Do not love me

No me ames
Because I love you

~~RQT

I absolutely lov ur poems! they're so beautiful!

Shannon, someone form UDDUP sent us this link, and I went. The poem your sister put in was so sad, and it helped me see how you feel. It was very beautiful and shows me how much i take life for granted. With your persmission, I want to show his ot some of my friends. And yes, you have changed a life. Thank you so much, and I hope you feel better. Post more when you can.

Love you darling,
Angie
