New Poetry Game-Cinquain Chain- Come on, it's easy and fun!

[Granny5]

lines now
moving faster
we are almost there now
settle down it won't be very long
we're home

[symphony]

we're home
the green backyard
is offering its old
green carpet, while the rust swing
calls us

[CdnReader]

calls us
home with lonely
bells, tolling the hour of
grieving....will you accompany
us there?

[ampoule]

us there?
who would have thought
that we could be here now
let alone there, but I accept
this trip

[littlewing53]

this trip
where does it lead
there is no direction
no map or instructions given
lost way

[Granny5]

lost way
I am too old
to find the right pathway
alone so come with me down this
pathway

[motherhubbard]

pathway
covered with moss
leads to a place of rest
gentle breezes feel the house
I’m home

[Granny5]

I’m home
all by myself
without you with me now
I might as well be anywhere else
alone

[motherhubbard]

alone
it's not so bad
the house is really quiet
and I can think or read or dream
in peace

[Granny5]

in peace
we will again
rest with our arms holding
each other in wonderful sleep
tonight

[motherhubbard]

tonight
my mom wants cake
to go with her pork chops
that means I better start cooking
right now!

[Granny5]

right now
get the cake on
so you can feed me well
and I will save you a pork chop
to eat

[littlewing53]

to eat
the perfect fruit
forbidden and perfect
it is one that we all enjoy
apple

[ampoule]

apple
up there so high
I'm gonna shake your tree
so you will fall into my pie
or mouth

[Pendragon]

or mouth
mournful dirges
death, destruction, decay--
graveyards resound with melodies
on bones...

[Haven]

on bones
the vulture sits
the carcass picked clean now
no meat to eat, he is replete
he burps...

[Granny5]

he burps
he wipes his mouth
he rubs crumbs from his hands
he grins full of satification
he leaves

[Pendragon]

he leaves,
exit stage left.
enter stage right three footmen,
furious argument ensues;
dim lights

[Granny5]

dim lights
wine and music
soft kisses and pasta
are you ready for the question
of course

[littlewing53]

of course
it's just a song
the melodious tune
soothes this anxious soul within me
listen

[Il Penseroso]

listen
and scale the sky
in wordless emptiness,
feeling arcs like turbulent skies
release.

[symphony]

release
winged desires
from the forbidding cage--
let them, in the blues of sky, be
portrayed

[firefangled]

portrayed
above the fire,
the patriarch in pose,
scabbardless, with eyes sharp as swords,
he stares

[symphony]

portrayed
above the fire,
the patriarch in pose,
scabbardless, with eyes sharp as swords,
he stares
loved it! :)

he stares
at the ceiling
and his mind wanders on...
unnoticed, a beetle rests on
his hair

[Pendragon]

his hair
turned white, then
it disappeared like snow,
now the mountain peak is exposed—
warm hats…

[firefangled]

warm hats,
warm coats, cool cars,
big boats, good food, play par,
bored broods, feels flat, wants more, starts war,
piss poor

[ampoule]

piss poor
not a pot to
chase or catch a church mouse
so let him nibble, it's potluck
tonight

[firefangled]

piss poor
not a pot to
chase or catch a church mouse
so let him nibble, it's potluck
tonight


Very good! I was wondering what would be the take on those two!

tonight,
I will not sleep,
for when the moon is full
the Mockingbird will sing all night
for me

[CdnReader]

for me
the wind whistles
through the highest branches
playing the music of nature
on key

[firefangled]

on key
the mistrals play
the caves along the cliffs;
at times a distant train can't help
but wail

[CdnReader]

but wail
with mournful cries
crouched in the destruction
of our green world, our blue planet,
our home

[Pendragon]

Our home
now is threatened—
developers decisions.
They bought the mountaintop. Wasn’t that
enough?.

[CdnReader]

Enough
isn't the same
to a businessman in
New York and a hungry child in
Darfur

[PrinceMyshkin]

Darfur
is the blood that
runs through your and my veins
when it ought to be spilling out
with theirs

[motherhubbard]

with theirs
I will take mine
and we all have enough
or too much really, but who can
say no

[ampoule]

say so
I need to hear
I need to feel your voice
your breath against my neck, your voice
tempts me

[CdnReader]

tempts me
they do, this tray
of sweet chocolate goodies...
just a pinch....just a taste....just a
dozen

[firefangled]

dozen,
a good number,
with some fine Pinot Noir,
maybe melted on strawberries,
dark dove

[ampoule]

dark dove
sleeping, waiting,
perhaps dreaming also
of a daybreak that draws upon
mourning

[CdnReader]

mourning
in a puddle
of decayed emotions
spirit kept alive only through
sheer will

[Pendragon]

mourning
passing mornings—
missing innocent ones,
prey to those who fear neither God
nor man…

sheer will
is all that stops
me from taking up arms
myself, and striking back, solving
nothing...

[CdnReader]

nothing
dissolves into
everything, imagines
it could be anything...at least
something

[firefangled]

something,
perhaps perfume,
turned my head, it was her;
each heartbeat shook me, my lips burned...
I woke

[ampoule]

I woke
but not quickly
it's good to roll and stretch
to tell your blood, let's get going
there's life

[Riesa]

there's life
when feeling cuts,
and words slip into wounds
heavy and sensual, love revels
in hurt

[PrinceMyshkin]

in hurt
there is the chance
of restoration, but
in perfect health there is only
more health

[Il Penseroso]

there's life
when feeling cuts,
and words slip into wounds
heavy and sensual, love revels
in hurt

god that's good



more health
to trim worry's
sculpted lines, a beating
heart to fan folded paper wings,
lifting

[CdnReader]

lifting
with heightened breath,
expecting nothing yet
knowing that beauty awaits in
the mist

[ampoule]

the mist
showers our wounds
but stings our openness,
refreshed, yet recoiling, a scab
does grow

[Pendragon]

does grow
and bear young deer—
one in the field—triplets!
proudly she comes out near sunset—
show-off!

[CdnReader]

show off
your talents, hon....
be proud of all of your
accomplishments and hold your head
up high

[ampoule]

up high
it won't bite you
reach, reach higher, touch it,
there now, see how pleasant it is
to feel

[PrinceMyshkin]

to feel
again, as if
for the very first time
the fuzz of a peach or a love's
first kiss

[CdnReader]

first kiss
between would-be
lovers -- a moment of
blissful recognition of all
we've missed

[firefangled]

we've missed
nothing, their eyes,
still young in worn faces,
lives, faceted like the night sky,
one love

[littlewing53]

one love
is all i need
to plan a life with you
together we live forever
here now

[CdnReader]

here now
never again
you can use this moment
to hasten into your future
headlong

[ampoule]

headlong
crashing parties
or at least peeking in
while Poppy blows his candles out
wishing

[CdnReader]

Wishing
doesn't make real
all of the dreams you've dreamed.
Instead of wishing try to fly
higher.

[Pendragon]

higher
I have been once
thought myself above norm
reality struck, knocked down to
my knees...

[CdnReader]

my knees
are scarred and scraped
they've suffered from falls from
bicycles and trips down the stairs
war wounds

[Granny5]

war wounds
do not truly heal
they scab over and fade
but remain with us forever
till death

[ampoule]

till death
for now let's part
sometimes I beg for you
thank goodness you know how I jest
ha ha

[PrinceMyshkin]

Ha ha,
the laughing light
bulb scoffs and having scoffed
moves on. What will amuse her next?
we ask

[ampoule]

Ha ha,
the laughing light
bulb scoffs and having scoffed
moves on. What will amuse her next?
we ask

ha ha....Prince, you have put a smile on my face, at bedtime no less! ;) Pretty tricky.

[CdnReader]

we ask
only for truth
we wish only to reach
out and comfort those who cannot
feel peace

[ampoule]

feel peace
upon your back
as you lie there sleeping
no pea, bean or lentil in your
mattress

[firefangled]

mattress,
magic carpet,
where will we go tonight?
wake me in my dreams, let me feel
that life

[Pendragon]

that life
goes on is fact
hidden reefs, unseen foes--
steer the course, furl the sail, ho, mates!
sail on!

[CdnReader]

sail on
into the winds
of tomorrow....set your
prow for distant places where hope
grows yet.

[firefangled]

grows yet
another rose,
and waits for you - will last
through all the winter snows, forget
the past

[CdnReader]

the past
fades soft away
drifting behind the day's
remembrances of time spent in
your arms

[ampoule]

your arms
the ones I feel
through your poetic words
beckon me to speak out and love
my heart

[CdnReader]

my heart
beats on with or
without you, so carry
your li'l self away from here and
get lost

(that wasn't meant to be personal, Amp.... LOL!)

[Pendragon]

Get lost?
Who me? Sorry.
I did not mean any harm.
Tongues can often dig one's grave--
sigh Bye...

[CdnReader]

sigh Bye...
your sadness weighs
heavily in my soul
i would lift you to the sky if
i could

[symphony]

i could
go by the rules
and leave the sins to rot,
but then, would life be as rousing?
oh well! ;)

[CdnReader]

oh well!
life trudges on
no matter how hard we
try to stop it or slow it down
let's go!

[ampoule]

let's go!
why do you rest?
yes, I know it's Sunday
I won't make you work too hard for
my love

[CdnReader]

my love
is bottled up
in shiny green-glass jars
glinting on a high, sun-strewn shelf
waiting

[ampoule]

waiting
without complaint
always watching closely
for the tiny messages that
speak big

[Pendragon]

speak big
carry big stick
have the best of both worlds
neither ignored nor left unheard:
ten-hut!

[CdnReader]

ten-hut!
soldiers' worn boots
lined up, sad and saggy,
what horrors have they seen in the
desert

[ampoule]

desert
it drinks you up
but stores there your water
your tiny roots, full for blooming
flowers

[firefangled]

flowers —
the dreams of earth —
in the fields of crocus,
Oh! my Spanish Dancer, dream me,
saffron

[CdnReader]

saffron
and lime surround
me in the colours of
India....savoury hues of
allure

[Pendragon]

allure—
that which draws one
to seek adventure in
foreign places forgotten by time—
mystery…

[firefangled]

mystery —
not the unknown;
we know that which is not;
what is, while it is not, makes us
question

[ampoule]

question
I live it now
it makes no difference
the answer is not important
ask it

[firefangled]

ask it,
it will escape
before your eyes, if not,
don't hurry, but when the moment
is right...

[Haven]

is right
inherently
right? Or could it be just
the social mores created by
people?

[Pendragon]

people
don't want to see
the truth, that the problem
is of their own making, would rather
blame God...

[CdnReader]

Blame God
if you should dare....
but may I suggest that
you're the architect of your own
demise

[firefangled]

demise
are beautiful,
and dat nose exquisite,
but dem ears perfect for diamonds,
baby

[CdnReader]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[CdnReader]

baby
come light my fire
with your piercing gaze and
that sizzlin' smile...you fog up my
glasses

[littlewing53]

glasses
who needs to see
to feel that piercing gaze
and smile that tempts the wicked
oh my

[TheFifthElement]

oh my
your lips are cold,
put them there...and there...warm
them slowly on the inside of
my thigh

;)

[littlewing53]

my thigh
or is that you
do you like white or dark
thanksgiving is full of turkeys
that's right

[ampoule]

that's right
and now the cake
with its perfect icing
see it on my fingers, should you
go first

[firefangled]

go first,
lick it all off,
but save me a flower,
and maybe just a lick from your
finger

[ampoule]

finger
wagging at me
you should not borrow sweets
look into your pantry and use
what's left

[CdnReader]

what's left
once we've travelled
the length and breadth of this
blue-green planet, soaking in all
there is

[ampoule]

there is
not one sponge
for soaking it all in
but only a brush to paint on
your wings

[Pendragon]

Your wings
carry you high
above a world you no
longer fit into. To realms
unknown...

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Four/spirit_flight.jpg

[littlewing53]

unknown
to the sky blue
bound by knowledge and fear
break the bonds holding you tightly
freedom

[CdnReader]

freedom
is not found in
Gucci shoes and mansions
but in a giving nature that
transcends

[Oniw17]

transcend(s)
is what I do
beyond and above all
until I pass the azure heavens
and leave

[littlewing53]

and leave
this known place here
where all is comfort clear
no surprises endless traffic
away

[firefangled]

away
from there to now
in time, from youth to gray,
sweet senses soon must go, yet I
must stay

[littlewing53]

must stay
where the wind go
to ever there is kind
bewitching the hour of time
to now

[ampoule]

to now
I raise my glass
a toast to the present
please let me take a peek inside
my gift

[CdnReader]

my gift
to you cannot
be contained in paper
and ribbon and sparkles.... will you
open?

[symphony]

open
sisame! hey!
there's a whole world of gems
in there! gold and silver sparkling!
now now!

[littlewing53]

now now
is where we are
not there or yesterday
pointed tip shoes shall only pass
not round

[CdnReader]

"Not round
here, we don't," he
scowled. "Us country folk aren't
interested in that fast-type
town life."

[ampoule]

town life
bubbles me up
see this, taste that, look there,
and then, with you, stairs and a door
closes

[Pendragon]

closes
the road behind,
yesterday is over--
nothing ever could be changed
anyway...

[Il Penseroso]

any
way may do, to
think or rub two sticks, match
ourselves to abroad or in,
just be.

[Riesa]

just be.
as the moment
birth releases you from
nothing, so death delivers you
from same

[CdnReader]

from same
squares and same sides
chessmen diligently
plod across the board in search of
plunder

[TheFifthElement]

plunder
the oceans deep
rich with silver life, fat
and juicy ready to be served
char-grilled.

[ampoule]

char-grilled
beneath the black
beneath the welts of time
lies a heart as tender as love
mignon

[ampoule]

ooops...double post

[CdnReader]

mignon
melt in your mouth
mind your manners while you
munch merrily, mulling mighty
musings

[firefangled]

musings,
coloring you,
like sunlight and rainbows,
though explained, still hold beautiful
secrets

[TheFifthElement]

^^^ so they do, firefangled

Secrets,
ghost-pale, hiding
in shadows quietly
waiting to be made flesh, and free
from guilt.

[firefangled]

from guilt
came my searching,
from searching rose questions,
my prayers to You, the doorway to
my soul

[PrinceMyshkin]

my soul
floats around some-
where, half in, half out of
my body, doing what ever
it will

[TheFifthElement]

it will
rain tomorrow,
so today let's enjoy
the sunshine. Lie with me and watch
the clouds

[CdnReader]

the clouds
float lazily
a summer's breeze coaxes
them across the sky, a quiet
journey

[ampoule]

journey
so much better
than the destination
the amenities of this trip
five star

[Pendragon]

five star
poetry we
strive to deliver on
daily basis, seeking perfect
poems...

[TheFifthElement]

poems
whisper in my
ear, enticing me from
more important things. Suggestive
minxes...

[CdnReader]

minxes
and wise sphinxes
creep through the desert night
dark eyes like diamonds shining bright
beware

[firefangled]

beware
of grass, keep off
the dog, this crazy world
seemed fine, until the sign that said
wake zone

[ampoule]

wake zone
it's a quake zone
when caught in water's track
the waves, oh the waves, how they move
slowly

[Moira22100]

Slowly
Creeping up Stairs
Dont want mother to hear
dont want floorboards to creek at all
oh no!

[CdnReader]

oh no!
where have you been?
i have waited endless
eternities for your love, your
sweet kiss

[scarlet pain]

Slowly
Creeping up Stairs
Dont want mother to hear
dont want floorboards to creek at all
oh no!

oh no!
the vase so nice
shattered into pieces
so tiny,no super glue can ever
mend it.

[CdnReader]

mend it
or defend it
your love for me exceeds
your wishes for just one little
sweet kiss

sweet kiss
upon my brow
left there in a night's dream
soft soft, touch me with your silkness
i melt

[symphony]

erm...

oh no!
where have you been?
i have waited endless
eternities for your love, your
sweet kiss
sweet kiss
makes my heart soar,
a sweeter one may make
it fall, but nothing, ever, can make
it break...


oh no!
the vase so nice
shattered into pieces
so tiny,no super glue can ever
mend it.
mend it,
into something
splendid, so that no one
again enquires, as to what made
it break...

[symphony]

uhm....

i melt
within your arms
and breathe your dreams within
me, till your dreams become mine, and
mine yours.

hey cdn :)

[symphony]

I guess I grow addictions soon :D so here i go...

'mine yours',
she has once said
about her heart, and yet
i find no way to hers, or mine,
i'm lost.

[CdnReader]

Hahaha! Some merry mix-ups here this morning. Hi, Symph! *waving*

i'm lost
within your gaze
those deep blue eyes draw me
to an infinitely deep place
in dreams

[firefangled]

in dreams
there is no time,
the endless sky lifts us
on unseen wings and we wake on
feathers

[CdnReader]

feathers
drift in sequence
falling gently from a
soft white sky of fluffy pillows
catch one

[ampoule]

catch one
please look closely
see how the shaft pierces
my skin and my fingers reach out
like barbs

[CdnReader]

like barbs
her claws are hooked
into my back, dragging
me to the past, where i will be
a child

[Pendragon]

cold reality

a child
cries in the night--
who hears the sound of tears?
implore, entreat; ignore, retreat--
silence...

silence...
just turn away
keeping walking, don't look--
headlines, breadlines, sirens, police:
unseen...

unseen...
as they died there--
in front of witnesses...
speechless, sightless, I know nothing
at all...

at all
these scenes were
people like you and me--
what became of humanity--
loose it?

Pendragon
© 10/1/07

[ampoule]

loose it
free the bindings
let me breathe once again
only then can I enjoy your
embrace

[littlewing53]

embrace
a touch from you
fills a small universe
inside my heart with just enough
of you

[CdnReader]

of you
and your essence
i drink deeply, wishing
for complete infiltration of
senses

[ampoule]

senses
I have lost them
thinking of you, tossing
them to the dogs to rip and gnash,
snarling

[CdnReader]

snarling
under my breath
sending you dirty looks
growling, imagining myself
elsewhere

[firefangled]

senses,
hearing, seeing,
the old olfactory,
touch - the skin, and the dark fingers
of dreams

[CdnReader]

of dreams
i know nothing
i'm stuck in life's realness
permeated in sticky mud
marooned

[firefangled]

uh-oh I should not try this in the morning, I'm too slow.....yawn....

elsewhere
is where I was -
thinking of what to write,
maybe nodding, maybe dreaming,
too late

[Pendragon]

too late?
never too late.
healing begins with touch--
forgive me, I am sorry dear,
embrace...

[littlewing53]

embrace
the morning moon
with just a hint of love
left over from the night before
loose change

[CdnReader]

loose change
jingle me in
your pocket, or splay me
on the countertop, tossed aside
careless

[littlewing53]

careless
are we that live
in days of freedom fought
far away a thousand miles
carefree

[ampoule]

carefree
happy go luck
is that the way to go?
careless nonchalance of others
hurts you

[firefangled]

double post...

[firefangled]

hurts you,
so many years
carried on the warm wind,
like lost petals searching for their
flower

[Pendragon]

Flower
I call her my
niece by her own choice--
With sisters Warrior and Artist...
Lain...

[ampoule]

flower
I see your face
flirtatious with the sun
how do you look all day without
blinking

[ampoule]

ooops! Hmmm....Lain....one syllable....does that mean I can choose my own second one? ;)

lain down
amongst the leaves
I feel the autumn breeze
lift me swirling into the sky
so blue

[CdnReader]

so blue
within your eyes
i step in, find myself
floating in deep pools of azure
liquid

[littlewing53]

liquid
thunder held brief
wild wet rain falls hard
crowded clouds gather in motion
stand still

[CdnReader]

stand still
and catch snowflakes
on the tip of your tongue,
on your fingertips, and on your
eyelids

[firefangled]

eyelids,
the window shades
of the soul, what happens
behind them ain't no one's business
but mine

[TheFifthElement]

but mine
was first, and last
but not those things that lie
in between, unwanted things, sad,
unseen

[littlewing53]

unseen
yet here it is
beyond the sight of now
touched with fingertips ice cold blue
hungar

[CdnReader]

hunger
within my soul
to reach for higher ground
ever distant, ever misty,
afar

[Pendragon]

ooops! Hmmm....Lain....one syllable....does that mean I can choose my own second one? ;)

lain down
amongst the leaves
I feel the autumn breeze
lift me swirling into the sky
so blueBelieve she pronouces her name with two ;) n'est c'est pas?

afar
to nearest star
light moves so very fast--
dreaming humans travel also
moonbeams...

[CdnReader]

moonbeams
scattered away
shining remnants of light
misty pale glows disappearing
aloft

[TheFifthElement]

aloft,
on a crescent
moment, an absence of
stirrings of the mind, singular
thinking.

[ampoule]

thinking
not a good thing
when your brain is a mess
dangerous excuses lull you
to wake

[CdnReader]

to wake
within a dream
wondering if we're still
drifting quietly, bound between
the shores

[Pendragon]

to wake
to sleep no more--
who do I think I'm kidding?
Napping before tweleve o'clock--
raining

[CdnReader]

raining
pitter-patter
drip-dropping rivulets
the earth is cleansed by crystal clear
water

[littlewing53]

water
standing quiet
hears no future coming
hurling through space and time with speed
it comes

[CdnReader]

it comes
through the jungle
jaguar-king creeps under
the thick foliage of deepest green
fear this

[Pendragon]

"Fear This!"
See the sticker?
That's a butt-kicking truck.
Beware vehicle, beware owner?
Which one?

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Trucker.gif

[ampoule]

which one
will you choose now,
now that you are down, out,
are the pickings getting slimmer
life's love

[firefangled]

life’s love,
is love of life,
and that is up to me,
to see that love is never gone —
never

[CdnReader]

never
shall we find this
tender moment again...
my fingers touch your cheek and yours
touch mine

[ampoule]

touch mine
that I may feel
there is still life in here
yes, still life, like a painting, needs
release

[firefangled]

release
the day lilly
from her time, why not years,
release her from winter, give her
sunshine!

[CdnReader]

sunshine
glitters within
your heart, and a fading
moon fills your eyes with tomorrow's
spent hopes

[Pendragon]

spent hopes—
silver dollars,
always hoping, winner!
roulette wheel of life stacked for
the house

[firefangled]

the house
of the heart
can never be empty
because you are there, so is your
hat hook

[CdnReader]

hat hook,
coat hook, perhaps
we should also have a
scowl hook, so you could hang up your
bad mood

[symphony]

bad mood
is divided
into three classes, viz-
classes at 8, cooked fish, and my
mother.

[firefangled]

mother,
precious giver,
I cannot repay you,
but accept the humility
of men

[CdnReader]

of men
and their struggle...
a legacy of great
achievements and, moreso, of great
sorrows

[ampoule]

sorrows
cleanse happiness
getting us ready for
another layer of real life
pile on

[firefangled]

pile on
ice cream of life:
strawberry hearts, pralines,
darkest, warm chocolate, whipped cream, and
jimmies!

[Pendragon]

Jimmies—
Cagney, Carter:
One caught our eyes on screen,
One became a great President,
Pathways...

[CdnReader]

pathways
through the forest
verdant greens, emerald, jade...
layer upon layer of rich
green life

[ampoule]

green life
yes, immature
although I've learned a lot
but please, won't you speak to me with
old words

[firefangled]

old words,
straight from the heart,
a song you can't forget,
precious thoughts that linger all day
and night

[ampoule]

and night
fingers touching
my leg over your hips
like synchronized swimmers, we turn
and spoon

[firefangled]

and spoon
by spoon stirring
the light between curtains
with indigo night that goes on
and on

[CdnReader]

and on
we will travel
our bright faces shining
never revealing our depths of
despair

[Pendragon]

despair
is a deep slough—
fighting hard, sinking fast:
ceasing struggle, you find you can
swim out…

[ampoule]

swim out
to where the moon
reflects in the ocean
but do not disturb the mirror
shining

[Pendragon]

shining
red reflections,
the dancing of the flames—
with the cover torn from Hell's Mouth—
it burns

[CdnReader]

it burns
with a red heat
relentlessly devours
blue, green, yellow, violet, and
leaves black.

[firefangled]

leaves black
on the gravel,
pieces of husk, edges
of brown seeds peeking through, the heart of
walnuts

[CdnReader]

walnuts,
carrots, eggs, flour,
sugar... mix well and bake...
spread with icing, sticky fingers...
yum yum

[firefangled]

yum yum,
the yellow dog
barked to be modified,
so we did, but two is too much
barking








The curse of the YellowDog Updater

[CdnReader]

^^^ :sick: :lol:

barking
hyenas lurch
across the savannah...
other beware the scavengers'
loud laughs

[Il Penseroso]

loud laughs
either annoy
or loose the sturdy knot
tied by awkward shifting stances
by walls.

[CdnReader]

by walls
and doors shall you
be imprisoned, only
to allow your shackles to be
shattered

[MarileeRixon]

Shattered,
Broken pieces
Scattered over the floor
All such a jumble; such a mess!
My heart.

[CdnReader]

my heart
pumping red blood
all over my yellow dress
staining my hands with its fervent
beating

[Pendragon]

beating
the drums are words:
thank you for your kindness
thank you for just being there for me:
with love

[mazHur]

my heart
runs with the clock
hung on the wall of time
every minute every second
tick tick!

[firefangled]

tick, tick,
at 3AM
the tocks have stopped, the ticks
invade my dreams, they shake me - Wake Up!
write, write!

[mazHur]

write ,write
go on scribbling
on the pages of mind
until there is no clean space left
to ink

[TheFifthElement]

to ink
I pledge an oath,
always to be a true
lover, faithful though I may grow
infirm.

[mazHur]

infirm
you seem to stand
with one foot on this earth
and the other on the high moon
get down !

[symphony]

get down
from my dreams
which reach the sky and grow
further. take a face, and come to
my arms.

[Pendragon]

my arms
are strong enough
to hold you when you cry,
gentle enough to embrace you
in love

[mazHur]

in love
with a dream girl
I have nothing to do
except gaze at the glittering stars
all night!

[learntodiscover]

all night
I hear music
sweet snoring in my ears
just wish he would choke
aah peace:)

[mazHur]

aah, peace
where are you found
in London or Paris
but certainly not in my place
my heart

[packersfan]

my heart
where you find love
aches from being broken
only you have ever hurt it
just you

[mazHur]

my heart
where you find love
aches from being broken
only you have ever hurt it
just you



Not me !
how can I dare
break your heart, my sweet heart,
you must have misunderstood me
my love

[packersfan]

Not me !
how can I dare
break your heart, my sweet heart,
you must have misunderstood me
my love
:p :D

My love
if only true
i wish upon a star
that you say not those cruel things
I wish

[mazHur]

by Joe
I can never
think of disturbing you
with the sirocco of such speech
that burns

[packersfan]

but yet
the cruelty...
did I just imagine?
did I misunderstand it all?
those words...

[learntodiscover]

that burns
scorches and brands
scars that never desert
cast away what is within
neglect

[mazHur]

but yet
the cruelty...
did I just imagine?
did I misunderstand it all?
those words...


Music
is nice to hear
it is the food of love
but if notes are misunderstood
all fails

[mazHur]

neglect
is murderous
it kills the toughest bonds
turns friendship into sour kith
take care

[packersfan]

Music
is nice to hear
it is the food of love
but if notes are misunderstood
all fails

music
is only dear
when its not aimed at you
when you just scream heavy metal
at me

[packersfan]

neglect
is murderous
it kills the toughest bonds
turns friendship into sour kith
take care

neglect
is only fine
what you did to me kills
the heart of mine is just broken
sorry

[ampoule]

I hate to be a stickler, but I was hoping people could stick to the original rules??? Is that okay?


The traditional cinquain is based on a syllable count.

line 1 - 2 syllables
line 2 - 4 syllables
line 3 - 6 syllables
line 4 - 8 syllables
line 5 - 2 syllables

in this game, take the last line of the previous persons cinquain, the same way we play the shared Haiku game.



and so, since the last cinquain ended with 'sorry'....

sorry,
I've been away
I never know its start
you seem to drift in and out of
my dreams

[mazHur]

why not
let your dreams have
some fun and exercise
sit ups and push ups will keep them
active

[mazHur]

sorry, forgot to start with the first line
here it is:

my dreams
are not meant for you
they are for a birdie
who sings alone in a green patch
somewhere

[ampoule]

somewhere
mine is waiting
but I don't believe them
the stars are only holes in the
darkness

[mazHur]

darkness?
stars in the sky
are certainly not
they are jewels sparkling in your eyes
cosmic

[firefangled]

cosmic
dreams, other lives
so real that I awake
with your fragrance and heat on my
moist skin

[mazHur]

moist skin
scattered hair
intoxicated eyes
two spirits engaged in love
all bliss

[CdnReader]

all bliss
and no white rage
surely nowhere like this
exists within our galaxy
does it?

[mazHur]

all bliss
and no white rage
surely nowhere like this
exists within our galaxy
does it?

does it
behove of love
to be classified in
terms of galactic time and space?
be true

[CdnReader]

be true
to your own self
do not hesitate to
expand beyond boundaries wide
and tall

[mazHur]

and tall
stories of love
sound so artificial
eking from edges of your lips
profane!
