OUR ORIGINAL POETRY: Share It Here
Hello there everyone!
If you're reading this it means that you probably are quite fond of poetry and writing it to. This is a thread to post all and any poetry that you may have, be it happy, sad, angry or just silly. All styles are welcome (free verse, couplets, slam) and it would be great to have at least one poem up a day for all of us to enjoy together!!
The flower meadow was in full bloom. The daisies were popping up and giving the meadow a yellow life. The poppies were randomly plotted around in clusters, like little families in a neighbourhood. The rocks were covered in frog green moss, attached like best friends. The blue bells were swaying in the wind, and I half hoped one would ring like a real bell. The buttercups were shining like gold and were waiting to be picked. The snowdrops were hanging in the wind, and if I didn't know better I would have thought they were sad and needed cheering up. A hare popped up out of its burrow and dashed to munch on one of the buttercups. I sat down to make a Daisy chain like in elementary school and scout for four leaved clovers. Oh how nice, the wind smelled like sweet flowers.
@Firepenguin711 how pretty! It's like a lovely fairytale scene! Thank you.
Thanks! I was hoping it would seem like a fairytale.
[Trigger warning, suicide]
I've been wondering for a long hours now
Why I'm sitting here in a corner of a room
Looking at myself on that bed
Void of any breath or a tiniest pulse
O...that's right, I was dead...
I wonder what they will do with that lifeless body of mine
Will they just buried me with black clothes that probably not my ideal size
Holding the rosary that isn't my usual praying beads( as if I ever even pray)
In a coffin with design that isn't suit to my liking?
I wonder who will come to my funeral
Will it only be the relative of my parents whom I rarely spoken to
Will my friends even come to pay me a last respect
Or will they just texting among them with my death as topic
Heck, will they even know I'm dead?
I wonder what kind of words everyone will say about me
What kind of nice but nonsense words they will say out of formality
What kind of graceful but empty words the priest will say
What kind of honest words will everyone say when they barely even know me
I wonder where they will buried my remain
Will they put some decoration or just a plain wooden cross with my name
Who will even visit my grave
Will they bring flowers or at least offering some prayers
How long will they even remember me
I wonder if they really know my dying last words
If they really know my true dreams and ambition
If they really understand my inner feeling
Do they really even know me as I am aside my name?
Well then, I guess that isn't important anymore
As now I'm waiting for someone to pick me up
I wonder which side will pick me
The happily ever after of heaven
Or the everlasting fire of hell
Because the last sensation I felt while being alive
Is the choking at my neck and me gasping for air
I must be very good at tying knot then
At least I have something to be proud about.
@Junerodas
A very compelling poem. Haunting.

Initially, I liked this short poem for its lyrical rhythm and accessible imagery. Then I realized there's more going on. More complexity. I like it a lot!
Scream
For pain
For passion
For people
For problems
For you
For me
For us
For them
For future
For past
For now
For that
Scream for our true colors

This poem has a lot of power. The words are simple but the rhythm builds, and the ultimate message feels like an anthem, a call for truth.
So embarrassed to share my Spoken Word Poetry here. But here it is:

No need to be embarrassed. You sounded lovely. Good poem too! ☺️
I'm working on being brave enough to share some of my creative ideas and endeavors with my friends. Very encouraging to see you share.
@RenStorm you have a lovely voice, and I loved the poem! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you both.

The Dragon
A few years ago I dreamt about being popular
Gaining friends
Being pretty
I dreamt about when I would be the cutest girl in school when I grew up
Great clothes
Nice people
A few years ago..I met a dragon
He told me he was my only friend
My only thought
My only reason to live
He told me I was hated
I was ugly
I was different
The dragon told me I didn't belong in this world
That I wasn't wanted
Needed
Loved
The dragon told me I hated myself
He told me I thought I was just another problem
That I was never loved
The dragon became my only friend
The dragon became my only hope
The dragon became..my life
In a few years I dream of coming home from work
Kissing my love
Holding my child
I dream of having a family
Friends
A life to call my own
I dream to become what I want to be
What I always have
What I always needed
In a few years I'll hold up my sword
The one I got from the dragon
The one I could never use
I'll hold it up like I never had
I'll make it to where the dragon can never hurt me again
I'll conquer it and leave it sprayed across my life
In bits and pieces
Little slices of hardships
In a few years I'll look back at what i was
Broken
Afraid
In a few years I'll look back at the dragons body
The dragon that nearly killed me
The dragon I didn't fear anymore
The dragon I survived
@DragonSlayer23
This poem is inspiring. That dragon can be a destroyer, but you have the sword of truth and can slay it. Awesome.
Conversations with the Heart - A Poem to Myself
Every little detail adds up.
Like puzzle pieces Put together
For a bigger picture to be seen,
That'll last you now and forever.
Every fall to the ground
Every stumble across the way
Will all make sense maybe not now
Some other fine day.
Every slash across the heart,
Every rip within your mind
Could very well be
Your very reason to shine.
So hold your ground
And dig deep within,
You're losing now,
But baby, someday you're bound to win.
Set your gaze up high
The pain you bear, no body knows
You've got a story to tell
'Bout how your journey goes.
Your every struggle
And painful stops you've had
Put you where you are now,
A magnificent and glorious path.
So take pride in your courage
And the will to fight it all
Not many make it through
Not many can still stand tall.
@Duff26
Wow, this shines.
Thrown away heart
I saw it laying
Peace for peace
On the dirty floor
Full of scars
It has be trampled on
It was ripped apart
Not a signal of life
It was handled careless
Overflow with dripping blood
That must have been the tears
For the thing you known as heart
She was standing in front of me
It was me
A hole in my chest
Showing where the thing has come from
On my knees I fell
Dying in my own tears of blood
@wisperpoetry
You make the pain so vivid and real in this poem.
I hope the wound is healing.
Loved or not??
They say that it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all but what if you never had enough courage to take that first step, that first fall? Would it even be worth it at all?
@lynsay31
It was Tennyson who said that about love in his poem "In Memoriam," about his friend who died.
In several poems, he dealt with the comparative value of suffering pain versus a life free of suffering. Keats also explores this issue of how to cope with terrible pain and whether there is any meaning or value in suffering and loss.
Thanks for reminding me of some of my favorite poetry.
