Original Poetry

[Johnny Odd]

Hey,
Just wondering, does anyone post any original poetry in this forum and if no one has before would there be a problem if anyone did?
It's just that I couldn't spy any self-penned work, only people observing other work.

when we first met it was a wonderful night,
the moon was full, the sky looked alight,
from two different cultures, different parts of the world
cupid pointed his arrow and towards us it hurled.

three years have now past and we've been through alot
now i'm asking myself if i love you or not,
i feel that somehow, you feel the same way as i
we really must talk because time's ticking by.

there may be a chance that we can work things out,
this thought fills my mind with so much doubt,
i can ponder on things, but deep inside my heart
i want you to leave me, i want a new start.

lastnight i looked up to the sky and i saw
a magnificant full moon like the one of before,
something inside me has changed and i sense
the feelings between us are alot more than tense.

i need a little space, time away from you,
so that i can decide exactly what i want to do
i hope you understand that this is the only way
i can sort my head out, so i am leaving you today.

i know i need adventure, you are too set in your ways
i havent laughed or joked or made love with you in days.
you are moody and you're miserable, if you don't have a beer
you dont look into my eyes no more, you are now so insincere.

the nice things that you do are things i did before you came,
like housework, being parent, and now you're doing just the same.
i can't go on no more this poem really has to end
i'm not living in these conditions, I'm going round the bend.

Is this a pointer ?

What is a pointer?

No it is _not_ obvious to some that there are specific areas to post their personal poems. (see my first post)

[subterranean]

Pointer as in...when people want to post original/personal their personal poems..they got to do it in the personal poetry section...instead of here...Thus, this thread is set as a sticky...so that people would know....

[rachel]

i don't even understand what sticky refers to and every time i see the word it annoys me and makes me feel the need to shower.

[Logos]

Haha, ok, maybe this will help you feel a little more `clean'.. a `sticky' is a topic that is pinned to the top of the list of forum topics so that it never goes off the first page.

[rachel]

THANK YOU. i feel so small and unintelligent but extremely grateful it got to the point I just felt like screaming whenever I saw that word. I was going to pm scher and ask, she is so kind and teacherish and never puts me down when i ask silly questions.
Thank you Logos, you are on my Christmas hug list.

Hi guys!!Thanks for the "poetry post" refrence Logos...i'm not a poet at all but i just enjoy scribbling..i wouldn't be comfortable posting my silly poems online though..would any of you guys post their poems??..there's an almost 100% probablity they'd end up accreditted to some high school student or anybody else for that matter..I'm not aware though of the methods teachers use to detect plagarism (i know one though!) at least i dont know how effective the methods would be..comment please!!

[CathyF10]

Hey:

I also would like to where poetry can be posted. I'm new to this, so I kind of feel like a baby lost int he woods. How does this thing work. I love to write poetry and look forward to letting my creativeness shine thru.

HELP! :confused:

Here's just something I scribbled on my way to the airport. Any comments would be appreciated. :)

Waking up early,
Traveling in a car,
The glowing sun is seen from afar.
In the vehicle are my family and several friends,
Our destination is Las Vegas,
But for me, I want this trip to end.
As I look ahead in my extensive day,
A billboard appears,
Guiding our way.
Between life and a highway,
Both needs a person’s direction,
Then I realize the moral connection.
Finally, we reach the airport,
And I encounter roads of many sorts.
But it shows that we must learn,
From life’s many twists and turns.
