Haiku's,Poems and anything that rhymes!

I remember the first time I read a newspaper I cried. But now I don't anymore. I'm always so scared I'd turn cynical or uncaring. I'm afraid my heart would go numb from all the sadness. :( I try to stay away from depressing news, but it doesn't always work.
 
Despair at what we see is understandable;
Conditions in the world can make us gag.
With evil so extensive and expandable,
We feel it does no good to raise our flag.

It's easy to conclude there's no reforming it,
And cry, "I only want to fly away!"
But when we're born again, we are not born to quit;
We're born to work while it is called today.

The contributions each of us can make appear
So useless; that's a feeling I know well.
Keep striving anyway, and never break in fear;
The final score is for Our Lord to tell.

The servant whom the Master will give honor to
Is one who's in the fight till the last breath.
So don't sit down while hoping He will honor you;
Keep trying, and be faithful unto death.

aww thanks Copperfox. I read a VOGUE magazine and it was supposed to be a fashion magazine but there were too many war,BP etc. articles. Plus the one on Halle Berry was pretty pitiful.
I can't help myself when I read things like that,and I turn to music or poetry for a way to let it all out.

I want to write something happy now though because my poems are getting grim....how about some halloween poems?
 
Silent as a mouse he creeps through the town
she watches from a distance wishing she could be free
the more he scares up the more his heart goes down
she hopes one day it will just be her and he

Jack! Jack the pumpkin KING!
Can't you see what's in front of you!
its not a title,an inanimate thing
its LOVE that you need,love that is true

Misguided he goes,off on a silly quest
she poisons the doctor for she must go
he kidnaps santa claus!? My what a jest
She has to tell Jack,tell the boy NO!

Jack! Jack the pumpkin KING!
Can't you see what's in front of you!
its not a title,an inanimate thing
its LOVE that you need,love that is true

This was written for my Sister Hazel because she absolutely ADORES Nightmare Before Christmas and that is what this poem is about.
 
Oh My GOD!
All along it was HER not you driving me insane!
You were rotten a bit I admit
but then you turned sweet
her bitter moon hasn't even begun to wane!
I am sorry for anything I've ever said
you may care about our characters being in bed
but I don't and thats Okay
you gave the plans to me anyway
I'm glad you're my friend and also nice
but SHE has driven me to my worst vice
that stone cold Ivy stare
it makes me so mad I want to glare
right back and show her who's queen
who's the captain,who's the dean!

Listen up lil' missy when you're with me
this is MY ship,my realm,my school
don't stare nobody down,thats not cool
you turn my insides out doing that!
So keep those peepers perky or you'll walk the plank,lose your head or get suspended
I hope my poem you've comprehended​

Meant for a companion to the friend or for poem
 
Yes, that heroine in "The Nightmare Before Christmas" was an appealing character, and viewers DID want to shout at Jack to take notice of her.
 
Oh dear Oh dear Oh dear!
What am I to do?
I'll be turning 13 soon
like mother nature did to you!
I'll be blamed for all the faults
a teen is the critic's target
My mystery lives come to screeching halts
I must confess to everything like a miniature st. Margaret*
I dread the day,november 14 to be exact
when I get the extra letters in my age
and when I commit accidental rage
My record won't be intact
Theres ups and downs I know,as many as can be
but I'll stick to what shakespeare said
Nothings good between the ages of 10 and 23
I wish there weren't any years there instead​



*I'm not sure who this is,I'm just using the rhyme

'your parents understanding or not? Mine are well....easing into the idea. I feel still treated as a kid yet unaccustomed to some new privileges.
I wonder when boys'll start wanting to date me. Because I want to have the fun of beating them with the baseball bat...maybe dad will let me share:p

I guess that are. I don't have spin outs but I do act a bit weird. My mom understands all the girl stuff though.

Boys will never date me, but that's ok. I'm fine with it.
Boy, would I like to beat up some boys at my school. they can be a bit.....weird.

awwwww,you'll blossom. Everyone in my family thinks I'm very confident and I'm pretty popular with other people but I do have things I don't like about myself(I.e my humongous ham legs,I'm curvy.)

Never let the silly things get you down though,embrace them! There are boys who'll like you when you're older.

I would like to beat up certain boys too. Especially Isaiah(who the "when you laughed" poem is written for) because he just makes me sooo mad sometimes! he acts as if when you turn 15 you're all superior and know everything. well hey bud! I'm in your age group too! I may be a blockhead when it comes to math but what about practical skills? just getting you to laugh is a great feat! sheesh...see me point?

I was not at all happy to turn 13 either. :rolleyes: However, it turned out that being a teen is not so bad. I had a better life at 13th years of age than 11 or 12, because many of my peers were starting to grow up. :p Being a teenager isn't really as scary as it seems. It's better to be a child or a teen than to be caught in the middle. I hope this is encouraging...

and wants to be in show biz
Oh who's a nerdy nerdy?
Listen to the birdy
She knows a nerdy nerdy

She listens to violin like it were pop
she wears fireman heels with laces on top
she fancies a doctor with the last name who

YOU!
Oh wait...me:p
