Wrote these for school. Forgot the order I put them in for my poetry book, but whatever. The order was supposed to mean something. A few are kinda emooooo. For the first one, rawrskey wrote the first verse and I just continued since I was so mind blocked.
| Code: | Right to Light
A thief in the night,
Who steals not for glory
But out of spite
Before you notice and fright
He's out of sight
But he's lost his right
To see the light
He was once a noble one
Who was a hero to all
Stole not for fun
But he's on the run
Keeping the spoils he won
But he's lost his right
To see the light
To make his escape
He ran into a cave
Emptied his cape
Of bread freshly baked
Of feasts only half ate
Of part of a wedding cake
But he's lost his right
To see the light
The fool built a flame
Under the drip-drop rocks
He could not start and tame
And had failed as night came
When the wolves start their game
But he's lost his right
To see the light
In the frozen cavern
He shook and shivered madly
As wolves made hunt patterns
Alerted, the thief found a lantern
But the oil within did not burn
Because he's lost his right
To see the light
The howls of wolves filled the night
As the thief's lantern stood without light
Once a man, noble and filled with goodness
He died a disgrace, faded in darkness |
| Code: | Self Help
All those books
That claim to be
The one that you
Do need to read.
They say they have
All the answers to
The questions that
Always peck at you.
How do I
Become a better me?
Live a healthier life?
Be the best I can be?
With titles like
“Simple Success”
“More Money”
“Be Best Dressed”
But truth be told,
The power to do
What needs to be done
Lies inside of you. |
| Code: | All That I Owned
I had a box of crayons
The biggest one in class
The teacher made me share
All the colors that I owned
I had a place to play on
The largest in the park
My parents made me share
All the playground that I owned
I had a spot to sleep on
The mutest of the room
The teacher made me share
All the nap time that I owned
I had a plate to eat on
The widest of the stack
My parents made me share
All the berries that I owned
I had a PC to work on
The fastest of school
My teacher made me share
All the work time that I owned
I had a bed to sleep on
The softest of the house
My parents made me share
All the privacy that I owned
I have a new computer
The most my savings can buy
No one can take my work
My art, my writing, my games, my music
All that I own |
| Code: | Write Me
You told me, "Write me,"
So I did.
I wrote you about my days
I wrote you about my nights
About me and the Weekend Warriors
About Tom and his bar fights.
But you replied, "No,"
"Write me romance,"
So I did.
I wrote you about those weddings
I wrote you about the spring
About Jill and her dating sites
About Mark and his engagement ring.
But you replied, "No,"
"Write about you and me,"
But I couldn't.
I couldn't write about our days
I couldn't write about our nights
About the times when I held you close
About what happens when we turns off the lights.
Because we had none.
No matter how much we wanted them. |
| Code: | Light
Darkness sweeps in, the light is chased away
I look up to the indigo sky...
Among the darkness I see a speck of light
So small, yet so full of hope
The indigo sky embraces me with a warmth
As I close my eyes and pray to the heavens
That I might someday become
That little star amidst the vast indigo sea for you |
| Code: | Darkness
We sat at the edge of the world
The only thing below us was the sea
Thrashing itself against the rocks below
Its deep black water lit up
By the setting sun on the horizon
As night draws near
The cool sea breeze blows
The darkness envelops us |
| Code: | Life
His final moments were vastly different
From the life that he once lived
A grueling month before, he was lively
As if he was once again a youth
The stroke was sudden and crippling
Sinking his eyes, sallowing his skin
Until his life was shoved away |
| Code: | Death
“What do you mean it's dead?”
“Try it yourself, press the head.”
“Can't you just get new batteries?”
“Not until I can find my car keys.”
“Janie will be so upset, you know.”
“Just take her outside and play in the snow.”
“You know how much she wanted that doll.”
“Fine, I'll take a bus to the mall.”
“Are you sure it's still in stock?”
“Well before Christmas, there was a flock.”
“If you do find it, I'm in debt.”
“Don't make it a bet.” |

I'll read them out of love for you, despite my dislike of poetry. |

There's a lot, and a few are long and over emotional. :/ |

poetry IS emotional. Even someone like Zelnor would sound like an emo when writing poems. |

Wow Francine, those are really good. Very emotional and intelligent and also greatly confusing, which is good. |

The sad thing is that I wrote most of them within one night to meet the already late deadline. |
