Post your poetry here (151)
Elise39Portumna, Galway Ireland21 Threads 667 PostsThought we needed a thread where we could post our poetry....anyone can post what ever they have written here...all opinions accepted. Please no fights..just poetry. My writing is very personal, so don't mind it..it's like a second in time for me...not all of who I am. Your poem can be about anything...so if you wrote it..post it!
Lovely idea Frances.
Need to write it, but yes I will contribute one.

lovely poem ,i love reading poems just can't write them
that's very evocative, elise. wish i knew how to write poetry that doesn't rhyme; somehow it seems more mature but i don't have the confidence. Perhaps i'll learn from studying yours.
I wish
I wish her here, my love, my friend,
I wish her here, my gloom to end.
I wish no wish for gold and jewel,
I wish the foregiveness of a fool.
I wish to void this curse I made,
I wish, I wish this pain would fade.
I wish to travel, back some days,
I wish once there to mend my ways.
I wish my love, you'd feel again,
I wish that feeling wax not wain.
I wish it ne'er would end this way;
I wish no more the break of day.

That is lovely...and it doesn't make a poem writer more mature if it doesn't ryme...it's good to ryme...and it's good to not ryme...I write poems that do both...Nice poem...glad to see it!...thanks for sharing it.
I have some broken heart ones too, but for the mean TIME...here's one about TIME...ha ha ha
Past and present
Time is here, and time has passed
Time is gone and time will come
Time is now and time is then
Time will tell...
The stories of our lives...
Some written in history, some spoken in word, some forgotten on this earth
But there is life now...like there was life then,
We love, we hate, we sing, we dance, we fight, and we laugh
All in our own way
Unique finger prints of personalities we create in time, in our time.
Time has left and time has come
Time was present and time was lost
Time is our lives, one minute, one second, one moment, one breath each single in its passing
In the passing of the sun and the waxing and the waning of the moon
All is measured
From there to here, from them to us, from past to present
All is measured
In time
Past and present
Time is here, and time has passed
Time is gone and time will come
Time is now and time is then
Time will tell...
The stories of our lives...
Some written in history, some spoken in word, some forgotten on this earth
But there is life now...like there was life then,
We love, we hate, we sing, we dance, we fight, and we laugh

Time has left and time has come
Time was present and time was lost
Time is our lives, one minute, one second, one moment, one breath each single in its passing
In the passing of the sun and the waxing and the waning of the moon
All is measured
From there to here, from them to us, from past to present
All is measured
In time
Theres some really good poems here, well done to everyone. Used to write a lot of poetry years ago, not so much now. Had a few published but mainly I do it because its the best way to get the feelings out without having to talk to someone. Will be glad to share them....
Will I Be Alone Forever?
One glass, one plate, one knife, one fork.
A microwave meal for one.
Sat at the table drinking a lonely goblet of wine
Three empty chairs surround me.
The flames of a fire struggle to rise.
There is no life here
Just one of everything.
One phone that never rings.
One doorbell that never chimes.
One existence thats never experienced.
I'm a solitary person in a crowd of millions
And i'm left to contemplate.
Will I be alone forever?

great poem..don't get me started about misery...shall I even bring up anger...OMG..I have great angry poems...lol would surprise you..but for now here is my alone poem.
Planted
All I know is me
All I write is to see
All I face are journeys
All I do is breath
For all I have, is me
I am connected in Varian degree
To the world that surrounds
Some of my roots are strong, pumping life into me
Others are frail and I ponder their possible need
But yet as I write my words, it is only to see
Selfishly I live alone, only in this way
I can be free
For I am a great tree
Although, I do have fruit and I have leaves
But still alone I stand, bound to where I am
Only facing, never taking paths ahead
I have no legs, only my centre only my base...
All I can love must come to me
For I am a tree, planted deep.
Yet all I write, is what I see
All I face are my journeys
All I can do is breath
For all I have is me

another good'un. wish i could here someone saying it (doesn't really work when you read something out loud yourself)... damn, i'm single.
emigre: no i don't think i should, down enough at the moment...
interesting reflection on the human condition isn't it: we have more emotion reserved for bad than good. survival more important than enjoyment. no wonder people drink and do drugs...

Alright..a happy self confident poem for you Jerry..(substitute man for woman in your case)
1
I am the forest, the trees within me
I am not empty, just because no man loves me
I am full, full of me
My cup is not empty;
I am filled with paths that I've never, ever seen
It will take more than pain, to kill me
Because Idecided.
That it is my will to like the whom that is.....me
The new way I will be and I even have the courage to like the way I presently am, me.

The reason we're conditioned that way is because there is normally more bad than good (I am an optomist, honest). Were programmed as a society to focus on the bad, hell jst watch the news or read a paper. We're bombarded everyday with negative, not posotive, its bound to rub off onto an individual.
The trick is finding the enjoyment out of the surviving. If anyone knows ho to do that then let me know.
And if you notice, most of the famous (dead) poets all had drink/drug problems. Makes you think.....
Ok APC any news for us ???
You have mail
