As many star in the sky with different shape of their own. I lift up my pen and drown deep on my thought. What story today could give me i wonder... @Pyoo A story of a little girl destined for more A story of an orphan boy taking up sword A story of kings, their fall and ruin Different worlds and different people @Land Of Tea Myrid worlds, myrid stories Some fade away, some shine brilliantly where there is light there will be darkness @Mindless-Genius A story of shipwrecked sailor living in a shore A story of a greedy king wanting more and more I am thinking stories for today Just like I did yesterday I think and think just to find my own true story And to create it as a masterpiece of it's own @Bielt My imagination fly freely As my pen dance over the white paper Words which becomes worlds Emotions which becomes life @Trent Suddenly, inspiration strikes! A new world starts coming to light, And as my thoughts fill up the page, Words make magic; am I a mage!? @Yurika Memories of our past how long 'twill last The feelings that we shared The lies that was bared I'm a creature from your imagination And I will never be a someone else imitation I'll surpass all of the limitation and never fear any intimidation @Zone Q11 I am there for everyone, big or small. I will always be loyal and answer your call. So everything will be fine, even if you hit a wall, For I will be there as I will never fall. @Mindless-Genius This poem is getting far from where it began It's good but it's not what I want It's ok, I know people are trying their best But I am still writing this line So people, get the true meaning @Osamaru We we'll end the day, around our friends then smile wide and drop our pens. but no matter how the story bends This isn't how the story ends @Fabulist Ed Words of life are uncertain by nature be it epic or be it bland from glorious start to lacklustre ends Journeys uncertain, is the alluring curtain For it is not satisfaction I so desire but the avoidance of life' dreary mire @hatoyin97 A stroke of pen, a beginning of a tale. In my wonder, mystical worlds dances to life. Unbounded by reality, caged in thoughts. A sentence, I shall realise my own reality. @Aster Anemone Some hard facts some wandering fantasies moving fingers on blank pages feeling faded canopies watching moving long dead sages @Mindless-Genius I am surprised by the number of paragraphs here It's more than good , it's fare I love to see that I am writing today Hoping to achieve what I didn't yesterday I hope this story goes on Till dusk to the dawn @Pyoo Everyday we make small stories on our own Like the stars in the sky, small but many Together creating shapes and constellations Today too, I lift up my pen and let my hands flow What story would the stars create today, I wonder~ @Zone Q11 Reserving too many stories, I get weaker by the day. Forgetting about the chronology and the categories, I fall down and stop the play. @BlancFrost Many people, many minds Many talents all combined To show the world They have no fear To put downs thoughts that slowly disappear Escaping out through the cracks Slipping through as there's no turning back Black and white is what they see Black and white is all they need Spoiler: The Poppy Fields (source) In the Flanders fields the poppies grow A marker for the nameless and unknown Don't forget us, don't forget us We were once loved, we were once brave We were once glorified as heroes of the land Don't forget us, don't forget us In the fields of sunset blooms Under the fields of thunderous booms Don't forget us, don't forget us A marker for the long forgotten The Flanders field where poppies grow - - - Spoiler: Notes Talks of red flowers and war always reminds me of poppies and flanders field.

Wrong like I was planning to like the 1st post(poems) but misplaced the like and I still have the like limit
I'll say the same thing here I said in Autumn Wind's thread; I'll be happier the more poets there are. Keep it up! I'm also very interested at around what time in her poetry you two met. Because her stuff was very melancholy until a certain point, and from the context I'm guessing it was around when you started messaging her? You've a very happy, sometimes cheeky tone to your poems. I enjoy that very much.
No talent is needed. Since we're not pros anyway. It's fun to think hard to what word would fit and checking thesaurus and rhymezone on it... I'm not talented orz but, I'll call you up if we have a poem "battle" if you want to try! See! You're very nice and likeable ~ Thanks! Hahaha thanks. I do poems for the lulz, that's why. Hmm, Lemme check for you..
I could definitely see that being true. We're a literary family, and though I never got the gift (or made too much effort at gaining it :x) I've seen a lot of amateur poetry. Bring two young poets together and at least one of them often changes greatly in style. It's very interesting to see. I suppose that's sort of a speculation on your ages, which is a bit inappropriate. Also, I'm definitely not likable. I just enjoy the subject, and respect the arts. You'll see if you ever come across me anywhere else.. I'll show you!
Hahahha, but then again, when 2 people meet and talk, there's bound to be a change in understanding of another perspective in at least one of them... :x but we can assume everyone is young on this site, right? The average age is quite low.. Hahaha, Okay. I'll look forward too it.
