Poets Here? Show your stuff

I recently got into poetry a bit. We are working on an assignment for drama and I have decided I really like writing poetry. I think of it as a good way to get whats bothering you off your chest without sounding whiney.

Heres my latest that dicusses the main stereotypes we hear of at school that I call Who am I? What inspired me to write this was all the stereotypes I have heard and all the groups people are classified into.
Leave your feedback and post your own work with a little inspiration about it.
Who am I?

Skinny or Fat

White or Black

What does that matter, any more than how I act?

He must be this, He must be that

I only say this because of how he acts

Is he emo or maybe prep? Maybe hes neither, maybe just ghetto

Must not be emo, he aint depressed

Is he over Dressed?

Oh that could only be

He's a prep

Wait that’s not Ralph Lauren I see

So that leaves ghetto, ya that must be me

But wait why can’t I just be me?

I’m me nothing else

Can’t you see?

]I don’t like being classified as neither one of these
That just leaves me

Ya that’s right

I’m only me!!!!

Nice Jake! I like your poem!


I wrote this one a while ago:

Souls Entwined

I love you so much,

my soul hoplessly entwined with yours

my heart in your hand

my life for you.

I hate you so much,

my dreams tormented by your actions

my heart burned and scarred

my life destroyed.

Please forgive me,

my tresspasses, Ive wronged you time again

I deserve all the pain

my life empty without you.

I love you,

could never say goodbye

could never leave your side

my nightmare

my heaven

my life

Very nice. I already have been thinking about writing another one about one of my ex girlfriends who I really cared about and how she got onto ice and killed the baby. I just need to be in the mood to write.

i have a feeling no one here would be very impressed by my poetry. it's a little... goofy. :psychotic i used to write serious poetry, but not so much anymore.

I'm not poetic sorry.. :((

Ok hows this..

Oh no its time to go.

I wrote poetry ages ago. Most of it was dumb, but there were a few I was proud of. No idea where they all are right now, as we've moved so many times. This one though, is the only one I ever memorized and is probably my favorite as well...so I can share it.


It doesn't have a title.

~*~

Concentrated masses of power ahead,
Underneath them a feeling of fear and of dread.
Masters of all the sky and the weather,
Under no bound of harness or tether.
Lo! And behold the mightiest thunder!
Over the ground they pillage and plunder.
Never relenting to sun or to moon,
Incasing the world in their silver cacoon.
Moving ahead over the earth and the sea,
Billowing up into that which they be,
Unleashing the power held deep inside
Sending forth torrents...and no one can hide.

~*~

Memorial


Silver words
craved in granite stone
A tirbute to boys
fallen on shores
far from
Home

okay greaT ones so far guys,


this is the only one i have ever written and that was in 6th grade!

My room is very messy,
My room is not clean,
With clothes on my dresser and clothes on my feet,
My closet door won't close because all my pets homes lay there.

Now my room is very clean,
No more clothes on my dresser and none by my feet,
My closet door closes with my pets homes all stowed away,
But tomorrow, tomorrow is another day!

that one got me published in the news letter thats sent home to the moms:D
hope ya laughed or smiled

Very good! I have a few around that I'll have to find... I read one the other day called "To the Little Polish Boy Standing With His Arms Up" that was very good but very, very sad. I just loved the word repetition that gradually gained momentum. The ending is very touchingly sad. I love the way the lines are arranged, some words are alone, which IMO adds impact. Here's a link.
