Hello, hello! So this is some of my poetry, which is being put blatantly on display here for critique and criticism. Of course, I know I shall be ripped to shreds for this. Just… when you finish, comment or critique? And tell me which one you liked best! :D _Oh, and I’ll be adding more later, so check back!_ **Poem 1** Daydreamer Space cadet A bland smile etched on your expressionless face Emotions unreadable Eyes cast distant, into your inner universe Your thoughts have gone astray Your mind contemplates the innate workings of your heart Come back to me, my ephemeral friend Plant your feet on solid ground again **Poem 2** Heart and soul captured on paper Onset of frustration as I fail to realize my imaginations My mind wanders to places my spirit dares not Great crooked crags upon which crimson waves crash Impossible to portray—priceless Those sad eyes cast skyward in solemn prayer Cannot be mimicked by a mere mortal as myself Majestic seraph with eagle’s wings How can your perfection be grasped by one so lowly as I Overwhelmed and enthralled by imagination’s limitlessness Oh, if only I could show the world what cooks in my mind The green mermaid-witch, vicious creature The demons that haunts my nighttime soul Locked inside my thinkbox, unreleased Won’t you like to gain a peek into my subconscious? Wander into a place dark and fearsome Yet bright and promising all the same My mental screams of anguish My silent cries of joy If only they could be shared With all With you **Poem 3** Gagged, bound— I scream—reach out for you. Deaf and blindfolded— You cannot, will not hear me. Cut into my soul and feed On my agony. Musical, lyrical screaming—and Beautiful, eclectic yells of pain. Bastard child of God and Satan— Who cares for this lost soul? **Poem 4** The blackness of the quiet How its thick fog suffocates Choking smog of silence Impenetrable hate Gasping desperately for air In this ocean of despair Scream to break this atmosphere Tension stretching fine and sheer Frightful, loveless quiet Lonely, blinding solitude Reach out to kill this silence OR it will destroy you **Poem 5** The child sits in his room, alone. Boredom permits his imagination to run wild. He hears the wind whisper to him. He feels a presence close by. Where is Mother? Every noise he hears sounds sinister. Fear envelopes him and he drags his blanket around himself. The door creaks open— A figure moves into the room. The child readies himself— Who is it? What is it? He feels his chest constrict. He holds his breath As his nocturne visitor moves towards him. It’s alright, child, fear no more For Mother is here. All is well, all is well.

I just realized all the poems I posted before weren’t rhyming! So I’ll post a couple rhyme-y ones here now. **Poem 6** What wisdom hid within your wit, unknown, Endured the toils and trials of time alone. Do you not fear the drear decades to come? Into the weave of existence you are spun. Legends of your greatness have been sung, Though your reign on Earth has just begun. A maritime wanderer of strange shores— To match your might and measure, there are none; Great foes defeated with your booming roar! Who knows if you will stay forevermore? Of your wistful wonder there is lore; Into your mystic history I will bore; To love and know all things about your Soul Is to be my life’s purpose and goal. **Poem 7** And lazing underneath the sun and clouds, Amongst the grass and weeds and things that grow, My mind began to wander past the shroud Of discontentment and desire to know. What of this life and then what of the next? Why are we ignorant of things to come? Confused, bedazzled, angry, and perplexed, The truth was hidden and my soul benumbed. These contemplative thoughts lulling my mind, The winter sun beat down upon my chest. Inside my mental crevices I find No satisfying answer as of yet. I close my eyes, forget all I resent, And slumber now, to let my heart lament. **Poem 8** Like the dripping rain, you slipped Through my fingers Though I clutched and grasped For that last droplet That disappeared, dissipated Before my very eyes Like the shattered vase, you cut The hand that lingered On your pretty broken pieces Smoldering regret As ten thousand little shards Synchronized a sigh _Poems six and seven were both written in a Miltonian sonnet._

Lol triple posting.

Here’s a poem: Pwn, I pwn I pwn I pwn, I pwn I pwn I pwn, I pwn I pwn I am really awesome cause I- (sing constantly to Can Can)

I think I like the second one best. I love the first part, imagination is a wonderful thing. And the third part, with the “Wanna see what I think?” part, that’s pretty sweet. It also managed to use the word “thinkbox” without making a joke, which is pretty sweet. :D And then poem 5, being afraid of Mother as she comes to comfort you is a pretty cool image. :D I pronounce these poems cool.

Yes indeedy. And all BC does is spam random things in most topics. I said MOST!

Good thing you said MOST, or someone’s gonna start bitching. o.o

i did a forum like this before so therefore its spam

> Space cadet This is an awesome song made by Kyuss! Just to let you know.

These were pretty good, a bit basic but a pleasure to read. Nice job! I probably liked the second one the best, personally.
