    "No Pets and
    No Petting
    No Singing
    Or Dancing"

    Not trying to be a ****. I like the poem, I just feel the need to point out that it should be "nor" not "or". Alot of people ignore this rule for normal conversation, but it can degrade literature/poetry, I think.

    You're a fan of yourself being a fan... or are you "of" yourself being a fan? Either way it sounds kinda silly. I like the structure and general open-endedness, but it doesn't really seem to mean anything. Funny - it's sorta like a haiku, just 4-2-4 instead of 5-7-5.

    DotGet: It was something off my head. It has no point and it has no meaning. I did it for my own accord and to prove a point to myself. Pure self gratification for the attitude i see IMO as poor.

    I wasn't criticizing you; you can write whatever you want. I actually thought it might have been some kind of ambiguity that only you knew the answer to. If not, it doesn't really matter.

    First is complete, round and secure;
    Second is lacking of the above.
    Third is the first, with a part of second;
    Fourth, the English language loves.
    Without the next, we are nothing:
    Fifth is a brother of three above.
    Together we are what you just did-
    Or at least should've.

    What am I?

    "The time has come," the Walrus said,
    "To talk of many things:
    Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
    Of cabbages--and kings--
    And why the sea is boiling hot--
    And whether pigs have wings."

    "But wait a bit," the Oysters cried,
    "Before we have our chat;
    For some of us are out of breath,
    And all of us are fat!"
    "No hurry!" said the Carpenter.
    They thanked him much for that.

    Sadness grows and hope ponders
    Little to live and love wanders;
    Where do we grow in the abyss of forests?
    Where is the light the Earth had promised?
    From my sky blue eyes let it flow let it flow.
    Tell me now, tell me something….tell me everything or tell me nothing;
    If there is nothing else then I should get going -
    Maybe if in the future you have something to say
    Stop by my path and we'll converse that day.

    I was studying at a coffee shop and decided to get creative

    __________________________
    Fascination at the Coop Cafe
    __________________________

    A book, a drink of coffee too
    a Cafe full of busy cups.
    And soon they start to neglect their brew
    as each one bobs their busy head up.

    Like chickens, poultry I perceived
    a funny site I now believe!
    What interests such these busy eyes
    to stop them from their daily lives?

    Is it the jogger who came in?
    an odd place for one so to be
    To rest upon the violins
    of soothing tone and lemon tea.

    Ah! The violin! That's just it!
    The musician and where she sits!
    She enough can draw an eye,
    a jogger, reader, and men with ties!

    But even she who plays the tune
    of Mozart, Bach, Handel, and Fesch
    Wander her eyes like these poultry too,
    despite all her difference from the rest.

    Among the crowd and eye to eye,
    My interests strive to find out why!
    I set my book and laugh away,
    at the oddly flock in this Coop Cafe!



    PS: the speaker of the poem isn't supposed to be me.

    Here's a poem, or writing from my heart. From another forum that is :p

    This is a poem/song called Fear. Inspired by Sacrificed Sons by Dream Theater and footage of WTC collapse.

    Fear, is all we have
    on this fateful day
    dust, is all we face
    on this darkest day

    Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
    traffic are stuck, the crowd is running
    smoke and fire, burn to ashes
    dust is your only friends today

    an eagle, flies through the city
    heart stop when it dies
    people only crying
    when the tower crumbling down

    dear city, all you see is red
    and full of fear when you witness this
    fire stop your heart
    and dust chokes your thought

    Waiting for your time to sleep peacefully

    Here's a poem that my friend ask me to do, it's about people in Palestine and the war at large, from a point view of a citizen and people who suffer from the war. So here it is

    they're coming, get your gun
    defend your self,
    this would be your last fight
    this is your survival

    the death company is coming, with heavy gun
    shooting through your heart
    close your eyes
    this is your last moment

    they coming without any sound
    all we hear are children crying,
    at the streets the blood is pouring
    this would be your last goodbye

    bullet running above your head
    and you're thinking that you're fine
    they will come for you tonight
    because we gonna dine in the grave

    life like a candle
    waiting for wind to blow it out
    or someone gonna blow it for you
    because life is cheap for them

    "You blood is mine" that's what they said
    your only thoughts are fighting back
    try to push them back to the edge
    because freedom is your only options.

    tree of life getting old
    the leaf is fall from the branch
    then they'll burn it to the ground
    nothings gonna change for us

    Winter's Dawn: Carnal Light

    The wooden pillars ignite on the left side
    of a rolled up parchment tied with blue string.
    The words of a rose petal crumble to ashes,
    petals, for now burn unspeakable things.
    The essence of dream state flares up in the heat;
    Rose petals fall from the limbs of our dreams.
    Like the last leaf of Autumn, withered and rent,
    for nothing can liken our dreams as they seem
    when we ponder, give life within ivory towers,
    lively, and perfect, the rising of sun.
    But as petals fall to earth and we live by our soul,
    Autumn begets winter and dusk turns to dawn.

    Bam.

    Actually this is years old, I'm not too poetically creative anymore. :'(

    This an actual poem I wrote a year ago when I was reflecting upon my past. Ah the good times.

    People spend a lifetime
    searching for happiness
    looking for peace...
    They chase idle dreams,
    addictions, religions,
    even other people,
    hoping to fill emptiness
    that plagues them...
    The irony is the only
    place they ever needed
    to search was within...

    Remeber the brave ones,
    lest the world sink into cowardice.

    Brave ones protect us,
    they give us hope.
    Brave ones defend us,
    they give us peace.

    Head up high,
    tears flow long.
    Heroes aren't forgotten,
    courage is archived.

    Let us not forget the ones who die for us,
    let us not forget their selflessness.
    Don't forget their sacrifice,
    so everyone doesn't have to do the same.

    Hearts of zeal,
    minds unwavering.
    Nerves of steel,
    demeanor unchanging.

    Remember the brave ones,
    lest the world sink into cowardice.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Forget the ones who hate,
    they're not important.
    Forget the ones who despise,
    they're nothing.

    Those who are mean,
    be numb to them.
    Those who are callous,
    shut them out.

    Don't forget the one,
    who cares.
    Don't forget the one,
    who cries too.

    The one who is nice,
    be sensitive to him.
    The one who is there,
    let him in.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    Embrace.

    Eyes meet,
    lips lock.
    Hands held,
    arms curled.

    Entwine...

    In darkness,
    cuddles.
    In light,
    looks.

    Encircle...

    Hearts beating,
    against time.
    Breath matched,
    in instance.

    Enfold...

    Minds thinking,
    of the other.
    Cores yearning,
    for the moment.

    Embrace...

    -------------------------------------------------------

    Promise.

    Heart has,
    been lonely.
    Mind has,
    always been alone.

    Mind pledges to Heart...

    Heart,
    needs someone,
    it's clear.

    Mind swears to Heart...

    Mind,
    want someone,
    it's obvious.

    Mind vow to Heart...

    Mind,
    will be that someone.
    Heart,
    must let it be.

    Mind declare to Heart...

    Can Heart,
    feel it?
    May Mind,
    give it?

    Promise

    Here's some more help
    For those needing it
    Together we also help diners
    Put me in place
    He'll remember it
    Unless you need a waiter who's finer
