My poetry isn't usually deep and it doesn't always have a message...I like to write about things that interest me. Sometimes my poems are so long that they're like rhyming stories or something...Here's one that I wrote in class, about a week before Father's Day...

Daddy Dear

I love you so
My Daddy Dear
My heart just lightens
When you are near

You shower me with gifts
Even when I oppose
I think you'd buy me the world
If I were to say so

Oh Daddy Dear
You will always be in my heart
Because you were with me
From the very start

Your day is approaching
Father's Day, who knew?
Now that you've made me happy
What can I do for you?

Dance

Dance is my favorite language
I do it all the time
My favorite time to do it
Is when the time is prime

The moon acts as my spotlight
As I make my daily clatter
This is truly my favorite time of day
The world is my theater

I don’t need the fancy costumes
Or the roaring crowd
I like the privacy better
I love the mellow sound

Or the crickets chirping
They make a natural beat
As I move so very lightly
Up and down the streets

Rain

I run jump and dance in the rain
Without a worry or care
I feel the water fall on me
As I prance around out there

I don’t care if I get soaked
I bask in the tears of the gods
This is the freshest feeling
And I mean that against all odds

I love the rain
It washes away all of my pain and sorrow
And I silently hope to myself
That it shall rain again tomorrow

Nice poetry

This is also good poetry.
Somewhat lighter than the others in here, it may seem.
Although I sence an underlying topic.
Very good. Especially the first one.

Very nice poems indeed! I really like the last one.

Yes, Much lighter but riche with emotions that hide at the corners.

I would have to agree with you on the rain. You fight with a passion and an elegance. Poetry is certainly not all rhymes and some do not go well with rhyming, but yours do. Fabulous!

WOW! I didn't expect anyone to say things like, 'Much lighter but riche with emotions that hide at the corners' or 'You fight with a passion and an elegance'...That was very nice of all of you to say that! Thanks! :mrgreen:

(A/N: This one is kinda silly )

Me Without You

Me without you is like…

A lace with no knot
A canvas with no mural
An empty flower pot

Me without you is like…

A beach with no sand
July with no sun
A dolphin on land

Me without you is like…

Coke without caffeine
A BLT with no bacon
A salad with no greens

All of these items have no meaning without the other
Just like you and me
We just don’t make sense without each other

Stranger

There is an image of a man
And it’s planted in my mind
He has very uncommon features
He’s really one of a kind

If I had to draw him
I could do it perfectly
Every speckle and freckle
From his face, down to his knees

He has hair of fire
And eyes like the ocean
And he can never stay put
Always In motion

He can make anyone smile
He’s really quite the charmer
And could easily be any girl’s
‘Knight in Shining Armor’

But I don’t think of him that way
Just as an old friend
That I might have met
Just around the bend

And I that I just passed him
On a crowded street
And I have a feeling
That some time soon we will meet

(A/N: I just wrote this haiku. It probably sucks. I wasn't paying attention *shrugs*...)

Haiku

I’ve lived without friends
How does it feel you ask me?
Well, I’m still alive…

nicely written poems

Wow!!!

Nice poems!

(A/N: I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE IN THIS AREA! I JUST WROTE IT IN CLASS BECAUSE I WAS BORED!)

Men are DOGS!

I gave my heart to you
But you didn’t give me yours too
And when you cheated on me
I felt so blue

NO! I didn’t feel blue
Though, my heart was filled with dread
But when I look at you
All I feel is dark, dark red!

Red.
For the angst caused that night
The anger and sadness formed
From another one of our fights

And there seems to be a phrase
That you’re constantly repeating
‘Oh no, baby!
I am not cheating’

With each relationship
I get myself into
Every boy I’ve met
Have all broken my heart in two

They have no pity
They’re just vile, cruel dogs!

They sniff out girls
And pretend that they are loyal
Then rip apart our hearts
Causing all kinds of pain and toil

Then they just leave us
Then go seeking out more prey
But little do they know
That there will be a price to pay

(A/N: THIS NEVER HAPPENED!)

First Kiss

My first kiss had been unexpected
Though, much anticipated
But as much I hate to say
It was from a guy I hated

Well, I couldn’t say it then
I SO hate him now
Because the kiss was way too sloppy
Would you like to know how?

Well, he put his arms around me
Shoved his tongue right down my throat
And there I was, arms flailing, shocked
Squealing like a Billy goat

As soon as he let go of me
He flashed me a lopsided grin
The next thing that happened
Was me kicking him in the shins

I punched and kicked other places that I can’t say
I have to keep my poems ‘PG’
But the last thing I said was,
‘Was it as good for you as it was for me?’
