Poetry

Do any of you guys write poetry? I have poetry writing every week in my English class and I'd like to share some with you...

"Unfinished Poetry"

She collects words.
She finds them tucked away in the pockets of darkness
Between books and forgotten trinkets
Yellowed in age and coated in dust.
She pretends they are secret notes
And straightens out the squashed ones.

Others she stumbles over on the sidewalk
Accidentally stuck to the bottom of her shoe.
They are covered in grime and filth.
She makes it her job to clean these ones.
But every time she cries
She must throw the prickly ones away.

She is waiting for the right moment
One word for every purpose
Sometimes she has to use a lot of them
A key through a door only to find another door to unlock
Sometimes she never gets to open the last one
But sometimes
She finds the right key
And it’s always worth it.

well, i write a lot but i think i m still beginner cuz u ll notice my words are ordinary although they can be touchable... ok this one is about the misery of war:

Some people

Some people are dying
Calling for a hand
With broken feelings
Waiting for someone else

Some people feel lonely
Cause of lack of affection
They need somebody
To give protection

They just wanna escape
From a world filled with pain
They just wanna live in peace
Somewhere there’s no fear

They’re running everyday
So many streets far away
Something through the painful fire
Injures every soul deep inside

Some people lose their smiles
The power of love
And then the beauty of life
Is never been in the earth

Some people always wish
For a miracle from god above
How much surviving needs
The strength to carry on

Some hearts are burnt into flames
Hell hurts and breaks
They’re getting lost in the dark
As the sun won’t come

This life is being a nightmare
Cause no one could care
They just come to understand
Happiness is an illusion at the end

how do u find it?

I liked your poem, especially with the repetition of "some people" and the imagery you used. The ending is pretty powerful too.

Here's another one:

"Globe Trekker"

On her desk
A globe blotched with pins
The red ones means where she's been
Alaska, France, New York
Blue ones for where she wants to go
New Zealand, Japan, Peru
A post-it on Africa because she plans to live there
Dusty notes littering the counter with scribbled sentences on them
"Home is where the heart is"
"Learn to trust the world a little more"
And "Don't forget your toothbrush"
They are her Bibles.

She's gone everywhere
She'd tell her friends the candles on the shelf were from India
The plant outside originated from a cactus in the Grand Canyon
And her dress was given to her by a Greek lover
She forgets that she lives in the suburbs
Surrounded by housewives and babies and the nine to three shift
No room for memories or dreams
In her mind she was still dancing in the Brazilian carnivals
In rhythm to the free winds
Such a feeling of longing
But she knows
She's globe trekker no more.

well it s nice but also cool, continue

"Child of Seventeen"

College used to be a word back in middle school
that your parents told you about
Some magical destination that they had prepared you for
All your life
You didn't want to go to college
You never wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer
You wanted to be in the open air of a car driving across country
You wanted to be free
But instead you found yourself in a graduation robe
Dipolma in hand, medals around your neck
And everyone said you were supposed to be ready by then
You were supposed to be an adult now
You were supposed to
You were supposed to
But I'm still a child, you scream
A child of seventeen
Never been kissed, never been hurt, never been alone
They don't listen

You find yourself surrounded by strangers in a dorm
So you figure
You might as well enjoy yourself
Take a drink here
Know a friend there
And by December
You're up to yout chin in dirty laundry, unfinished homework, and your roommate's books
You're happy
But somewhere along the line
There's a feeling you can't shrug off
You can't figure out where it went wrong
Maybe it was the report you spent a whole week on
And the professor said it was trash
Knowing you weren't good enough
Or maybe it was sleeping at 4 am and getting up at 7 every day
Or maybe it was because you never wanted to be there in the first place
The girl down the hall already tried to jump after class
But someone found her in time
Instead of thinking how sad that was
You think about how you would have done it
In the middle of the night
You hear that the suicidal rate in college has increased
You've stopped wondering why
You've stopped caring
You've stopped, period.

This is where best friends are supposed to come in
And take you down, grab the trigger
They'd hold your hand and tell you everything's gonna be okay
But you know reality doesn't work that way
You've realized that you're not a child anymore
You're seventeen
Proud independent rocking seventeen
It's time to take yourself off the noose
And restart yourself
And even if you don't know how
You owe it to yourself.

yo its very nice , good !!

^^ Thank you! You are very kind.

"Fairy Tales"

Child
Follow Prince Charming as he carries Cinderella to his castle
And have tea with the Queen
Imagination be your golden chariot
And laughter your silver steed

Child
With your head made of glass
And eyes full of stars
You cannot see that
One day you will lose
The pumpkin carriage and white mice
And every Queen you meet will be just an ordinary doll

So, Child
Before summer fades to wintery death
Return to those fairy tales
Return

well done , congratulations
i love poetry too , but i think that french is a more suitable and romantic language to express this way of feeling ... this is 4my part off course , althought i love english , i cannot express my feelings with :|

i think that english and frensh are the more suitable language in the word to express feeling or point ef view but i prefer frensh because it's too easy to speak with

Lol, French is a very romantic language. I don't know enough of it to be able to write good poems in French though. Maybe next time I'll try using French...

But I think if you are inspired enough by emotions to want to put it in words on paper, then any language would be suitable. You just have to be creative enough to turn your emotions and thoughts into words.

congratulation for ur poem

Oh thank you! =D What about the rest of you? Do you like writing poetry?

well this is a love song, it s the last one i wrote til now:

That’s how I love you
That’s how I would give you my life
And I always wonder
If you feel it when I’m near you all nights
Standing beside you
The way I seek every piece of you
Never torn to another
Never thought of anyone but you
Cause as it seems
We’re making things through
Believing in our dream
It comes to be so real

<<Chorus>>

I love you baby
You drive me crazy
Each time I keep you near
I hear your heartbeats
I love you baby
You drive me crazy
I’ll always be around you
To keep this feeling true

Lying in your arms
Makes a special moment filled with emotions
It’s like a heaven
How you show me much love and devotion
Smiling for awhile
Looking at your beautiful eyes
Holding you tight
Never thought to leave your side
Never said it’s over
We never fear the pain
We live as one forever
We’re meant to be together

<<Chorus>>

Very good! We have an idea to compose a hymn for our Interact club, but nobody can't do it. But I think you can do it for Sfax club.

well it depends on the theme, i cant write in everythin... what could be the theme in a hymn song in ur opinion? about solidarity and love 2 people?
