Write a little poem thread

It’s a short work, but the quality is undeniable. It took me hours of intense concentration but I think I have an epic ode on my hands.

It’s titled, “Fleas”.

Fleas

Adam had’m.

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said you’re moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air

I mean i could have written it. i mean it’s possible, I have it in me.
In fact I was toying with something similar a year before that show even started.
Yeah, I definitely could have written this.

Colored leaves float down,
Into the soft ground below,
The wind caressing them gently,
Never letting them go.

Plucked from the trees by the chilly breeze,
Feeling frozen while afloat,
Creating a canvas on the soil.

Soon they’ll be gone,
The wind will take them away,
Replaced with white frost,
From the skies above

California Dreamin

The California sun shines
Day after day after day
Through the month of December
Not a raindrop in sight
Even the California poppies are confused
And bloom as if it’s Spring
Or as if the Earth has tilted
Until north is south
And the seasons have reversed
I will dream of rain tonight
Under a cloudless sky

I used bad form. It needs to be re written.

Here is my little poem written in better form:

“Social Media”, by SkinnyMe1

Sleepless eyes,
empty bed,
late night hours,
drowsy head.

Fingers text,
computer light,
people chat,
online tonight.

Room air is cold,
coffee too,
bedroom beckons,
blankets wool.

Down to lay,
head on pillow,
close my eyes,
sleep so mellow.

Please read this version. It really is the better version. It flows much better.

This is very badly written. Read the better written version below.

I’m scared to share but I wrote this the other day it’s not very good and it’s really short but here :confounded:

I feel the sun,
kiss my skin,
And for a moment,
I’m alive again

But then the dark,
comes creeping back,
And again my heart,
Fades to black.

snow fell

snow falls gently from the sky
people all cry why?
as they try to get to work

i think this is a haiku 7/5/7 is that right?

Our bitter pride we have inside,
can make the world sad and lonely.
Our reckless youth is not the one
and not the only,
part of life we live in strife,
It seems it never ends.
We want a wife, we want a life,
We want good and clever friends.
But it is so hard to learn,
that the life we earn,
can never be satisfied,
We have our money, we have our pride,
We all have something that aches inside.

look forward to it :slight_smile: just dont give yourself a sore head with it lol,

@crimby that was a really good poem, i think you have done this before :wink: haha

I wrote two poems mostly yesterday

Yesterday was filled
with many loose screws
we all had to pay our dues
the darkness refused
to stop the abuse
it was all a ruse
the mind’s noose

Today the sun shines for you
in so many colorful hues
so let go of those blues
and you will not lose
no matter what your views
listen to those wonderful clues
sent to you from your muse

And

Life Anew

Yesterday did not stay
even though it had a lot to say
don’t let it get in your way

Today may be gray
but it doesn’t always
have to be that way
let a beautiful ray
light up your day
one day reality
will come to stay

Tomorrow will be filled
With much brighter days
there you will find an
end to the maze
a beautiful new phase
filled with no haze
an end to the craze

“Hot Coffee” by @Skinnyme1

Hot black coffee
oh so good
warms up my tummy
like it should

Coffee in the morning
again in the night
throughout daylight hours
makes life so bright

Some take sugar
some take creamer
some take both and
some are leavers

Starbucks
Scooters
Denny’s
Hooter’s

Many choices to find a cup
On the menu for us to see
Flavors galore for us to choose
Oh how happy can we be?

Sometimes I am old
Sometimes I am new
I forget myself
But I remember you

If it’s not too much trouble
I’ll apologize
for depending too little
as I ran for my life

I don’t ask for much
at least not today
since rain will fall
when billions play

Instead I will paint
my life in words
a cute little poem
a short little blurb

I love you Lord Jesus
Since for me you bleed
Blinded by your light
I’ve not the eyes to read

i’m not drunk but i did drink a little
i aint no punk but i sure need to piddle
stuck in my psychosomatic daydream
less of the sugar but more of the cream
the music plays neat and fine
the needle to groove is sure cutting fine
makes me sleepy but i can still type
sedated but still my will power fights

good night xxx

hi @pob fancy writing something? when was the last time? i remember we use to do it a lot on the old forum, with polaris and others.

A cold distant rain showed up on the horizon
The fog that rests in the corner
Began bellowing throughout the corridor
Flowing, following the loud bark
Meanwhile outside the thunder roared and rumbled
Lightening began to strike near the trees
The rain tries to get in
The wind whispers through the trees
The sun began to peak through the clouds
In big bright rays
