Poetry Thread

Poetry has come up, but never really surfaced, so here we go. I used to be really into poetry, and I'm starting to get back into it now that I have plenty of free time and creativity.

For this thread, I think we should have themes, and after a certain amount of time, someone can change it. I havent decided on how we should change the topic, maybe someone else has some ideas.

I'll start it off with Haikus. 575 syllables, restrictive, so words must be selected carefully. I do these sometimes for my girlfriend, I'd like to see others styles.

Holding so tightly
Afraid you’re slipping away
Don’t ever let go

Don’t lose sleep over
Me; I think about you more
Than you’d ever dream

Torn apart, a sea
divides; but not even this
will keep us apart

Heavenly flower
You are the sun; without you
I’ll wither away

Btw, Heavenly flower is what her name means in hawaiian.

My favorite poem ever is one by Margaret Atwood: "you fit into me"

you fit into me
like a hook into an eye

a fish hook
an open eye

(1973)

Oh snap!

There was a young plumber named Leigh
Who was plumbing a maid by the sea
Said the maid: "Cease your plumbing
I think someone's coming"
Said the plumber still plumbing: "It's me!"

I don't know who wrote that...

Sitting together
Our eyes meet; time seems to freeze
You are everything

You surround me; the
way your hair falls in your face
Nothing else matters

Eyes closed, we embrace
I've been longing for this what
Seems like forever

Sam you fool! Nooooooo! "7" has two syllables! You've ruined the haiku forever!

The second line should be changed to: "1 2 3 4 5 6 8"

RipWalker · Post by **RipWalker** » 02 Apr 2004 18:27

Or we could petition to have the pronunciation of the number 7 to "sen"... save the haikus!

Peace.

Alright, haikus behind us, lets just go for some freeform poetry. Anything goes, no verse or stanza length rhyming or anything. Just write.

Ever since you left there's been a void
A void thats gone unfulfilled and will remain
The same until you come back to me again
You're the first thing I think of when I wake
And the last thing I see before I fall asleep
I know you'll be back soon
But soon can never be soon enough
Dont lose any sleep over me
I think about you more than you'd ever dream

About my girlfriend on vacation in france. All she has is a 15 minute calling card, and she called twice while i was at work today.

Btw, I snuck a haiku into the last 2 lines. haha.
