    write or share a poem

    Write a short or long poem on the spot! Write what you feel at this exact moment. Be creative. You can also post a poem that you previously wrote out of creativity!

    Such Beauty

    Such beauty is found
    When one walks along
    The path in summer.
    The trees part in the wind,
    Bowing to the crowds of weeds
    And daisies.

    I walk along the path,
    Where my beloved stalks with me.
    We pass through the rustled brush of thirsty
    Willows and poignant lilies,
    Sprouting up here and
    There.
    Scents of lilac flutter on the
    Wings of the butterfly that
    Jauntily swishes by

    Oh yes, the beauty in
    Summer.
    Thrashing us with glee and
    Joy, summer shows us
    Such beauty.

    Another?

    Alllllll Righty then, how be another?

    As I was walking all alane,
    I heard twa corbies making a mane;
    The tane unto the t'other say,
    'Where sall we gang and dine to-day,
    Where sall we gang and dine to-day?'

    'In behint yon auld fail dyke,
    I wot there lies a new slain knight;
    And naebody kens that he lies there,
    But his hawk, his honnd, and lady fair,
    His hawk, his honnd, and lady fair.

    'His hound is to the hunting gane,
    His hawk to fetch the wild-fowl hame,
    His lady 'a ta'en another mate,
    So we may mak our dinner sweet,
    We may mak our dinner sweet.

    'Ye'll sit on his white hause-bane,
    And I'll pike out his bonny blue een;
    Wi ae lock o his gowden hair
    We'll theek our nest when it grows bare,
    We'll theek our nest when it grows bare.'

    'Mony a one for him makes mane,
    But nane sall ken where he is gane;
    Oer his white banes, when they are bare,
    The wind sail blaw for evennair,
    The wind sail blaw for evennair.'

    Whenever a thought
    Strikes me worthy of writing

    Thanks. I actually wrote it earlier this afternoon.

    I suppose if you can't actually think up a poem on the spot, you might as well post a poem about your inability to think up poems on the spot.

    A Wounded One once said
    'To arms again my friends', but as he turned
    friends not be,
    for he was not the only wounded one.

    No no, I like it.

    The General sat down
    And cried like a teenage girl
    Whose party had flopped

    opposing General,

    done this
    for me.

    A good reply, but my haiku was actually an attempt to answer the question "What if we threw a war and nobody came?". I can't remeber who said that.

    Here's a very short one:



    Why do I read poetry?
    Because I like words.

    I feel bad, really bad
    I think that I am mad
    I am really very sad
    And I want to be glad.
    I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
