Are You A Poet? Then Show It!

In My Humble Opinion
41

The sky is bleeding
Pierced by the craggy mountains
White clouds patch the wound

My bonsai reaches to the sky!
Twisting in search of light
Up, up, up it goes in the air
not knowing it is only six inches tall

42

Now you know.

               Selia

         You felt my heart beat

         I did not feel yours

          You saw my life

        I did not see yours

       You saw my heart breaking

            I let yours go

      We felt our pain together

            forever lost
43

You’re a poet
and don’t know it,
but your feet show it -
they’re long fellows.

Brothers

We played too long among the 'simmon trees
As the summer sun sank late and orange in a giant sky.
All elbows, legs and dirty knees
So daring we could fly

With wonderment and boyish joy, We pushed the bounds of fate
Till’ a mother’s voice broke the country wood,
Come home!
Come home! And be safe.

aha 1999

I’m sorry, Slythe, that I must grumble
But it’s my opinion (oh so humble)
that although you though this thread would floor 'em,
this is mundane pointless shit (wrong forum!).

46

Bubbly! Bitter! Golden! Good!

Goes well with all kinds of food.

Comes in bottles,

comes in cans.

I’d drink more beer

if I had more hands.

Here is the 2 I wrote the other day to Montfort
and posted in MPSIMS.

**I wake up in the mornig
and wish you where here

I go to bed in the eavning
and wish you where here

I dream of you all the day
and wish you where here

I dream of you all the night
and wish you where here

You are the man that I want.

I have never meet you
but still I know you.

I have never talked to you
but still I know you

I have never kissed you
but still I know you

I have never slept with you
but stilll I know you

But do you know me… **

Please take time to note
That submission time’s done
It’s now time to vote
(Please choose only one!)

49

I really doubt my shoes would fit
If I had seven toes.
And glasses would be hard to find
If I had an extra nose.

An extra head would be, I think,
An item quite redundant.
And were I offered extra legs,
I’d say “No, two’s abundant”.

Yes, I’m happy with my body
And the placement of each part.
I just regret that I can only
Offer you one heart.

Do we vote here, or e-mail you privately? Sorry if this has already been explained.

51

Voting here is what you should do
I’m sorry for confusing you. :slight_smile:

52

Roman Roads

53

My vote is split between Tasha’s “as yet untitled” and Lauren’s “one poem she actually likes”. I can’t pick. Tasha’s is amusingly odd, and Lauren’s just fits her personality so well. And I have to support my frends since I can’t write poetry to save my life.

54

To Gadarene my vote is owed
I, too, was touched by Roman Roads

55

I vote for Dogsbody’s ‘Caution’.

Am I too late to vote?

56

My vote is for andygirl.

57

Do we have a quorum yet? :slight_smile:

I vote for Triskadecamus’s.

58

So hard to cast a single vote
With all the good poems you all wrote
With Silver_Fire and 2nd Law
I could not find a single flaw
When I read Relic, Rob and Andy
I felt it was like mental candy
Dogsbody, yESTERmAN and Balance
With Rob and Monster fill my palate
Rysdad, betenoir and ssskuggiii
Keep sounding better still to me
Speaker, Trisk and Spider’s mom
Have given me yet one from
Which to choose
My favorite muse
Johnny Angel and Aha
And Gravity and Iksova
Kid_Gilligan, DigitalMuse
How can I know which one to choose?
To pick just one is quite obscene
But if I must, it’s Gadarene!

59

Two more days to cast your vote
Then the total I will tote!

60

Allow me, if it shall please
To cast a vote for lovely Anniz
