Now I get it Poems are the same for me... the reason why I don't write on the themes here is because my poems are spontaneous in nature.. As in, I only write when my emotions choke all sorts of rational thoughts and they need an outlet... So yeah, mostly dark and broody kinds XD
Theme: Fate Standing still in the rain as it washes away her fears Her heart is still broken There is no room for anyone else Perhaps it will mend Perhaps it will heal Spilling over with mourning Tears trail down Joining the puddle below Her reflection is blurry Obscure and unseen There is only one who can make sense of her keen Enveloped in warmth As he shields her from the storm Knowing her heart is not his But not minding it at all Unpredictable in their choices Wishing it had not gone wrong Their paths intertwined Starting a new song My 1000th post is a poem ^-^ Hurrah for having inspiration!
Theme: Fate Title:Light Sun was so bright in a rainy day Moon was glowing in a dark gloomy sky Star were shining in a misty cloud Distances keep us away Somewhere among billions of people I know that I shall meet my fate The world pull us together to the light We are destined to meet Seeing you and seeing me Is a grant that was gave.
Theme: Fate Title: I The Dream Seer A future, I see A future, I dream Choice to make Choice to change A future connected, the string of fate We choose and struggle, choice our fate But still connected, are we not? The thread of fate, we bent and knot Knotted to the dreamcatcher, I had to watch For I am the seer, of future and fate I guide in silence, watch the dreams Change the future, dodge the nightmare For even I, wish for a better future
Well, this last contest got me realizing how rusty my poetry has gotten. The gears are still creaking, but thought I might as well jump on the boat and try my hand at some of the Challenges. Theme: Distance The Illusion of Distance Distance is an illusion, born of the Heart Some surrounded by others, yet set apart. Some torn from loved ones, by the land, sea and time, Yet together always in each other's mind. Distance can be a poison, a barb upon the Soul. Allowed to run it's course, it will take a heavy Toll. Yet we must remember, we're not bound by time or space. When we think of those we love, Home is not just a place. Don't fall for the lies of Distance, that old twisted, sneaky snake In the end I'll stay beside you, what ever may come of Fate. Distance is an illusion, and although we may separate. No matter the miles between us, we are never far away
Same style, but dang it, I'm tired. Well, here's the one for the latest theme. Theme: Fate Lock and Key The young man asked his Master, "Why do you struggle on?" "What drives you to keep going, throughout the night to dawn?" The old master simply smiled, and gently pat his Head. Then with a sad tear in his eye, he looked down and said. "My Boy, I've seen it all. I've been from here to Timbuktu, I've seen the sun set on every land, and every ocean blue. I fought for what I thought was right, and the words I spoke were True. In that time, I came to a single truth, one I pass to you." "Every Soul and every Life, are bound by Chains of Fate. every man will one day feel their great and heavy Weight. some will drag the chains behind, caught on every stone. some will seek to hold them, to choose their will alone." "yet no matter what we try, we are all slaves to Fate's sway. but my child, don't you tremble, for there is another way. To every chain there's a lock, and to each lock, a Key. and when one grabs the Keys of Fate, then is he Free. The young man looked up with a questioning gaze, "but where can these keys be found?" The old master grinned and he stood up straight, then leaned his cane on the ground. "The Keys of Fate have been here the whole time", he said as he touched his Heart. "But don't think the journey ends, with the keys in hand. That is just the start."
A little more abstract than the others, but I like it. Theme: Fear Chances Some times I wounder, About those I've left behind. and all the stories, we had yet to bring to life. As I sit here now, I can't help but think, "what if?" I'd taken that chance, not been stubborn and so stiff? But time is cruel and the choices that we make, will not come again for as from a dream, we'll wake and see the scars left from our fear and stubbornness of the chances wasted, blown away like morning mist. so If I could give but this one piece of advice it would be just this don't let your chance slip by
One more while I'm on a roll! This ones a little longer, I was going to try free verse this time, but i like the flow of this one better. I'm sitting on the fence on this one whether I should keep going on or not. On one hand, Its a really place to stop, On the other, it feels like there is still something missing. Hummmm. Theme: Discovery Tunnel Vision I once was told, for one to hold The Stars within your hands. it takes the will, to climb the hill, and reach for distant lands. and when at last my journey passed I looked the way I came I shook in fear, and wept a tear. I could not hide my shame along the way I did not stray My will was straight and true. yet in the end, I say my friend, I could not see the clue The truth was bare I'd missed it there, That Star along the way I could but weep and stomp my feet. I did not think to stay! and in my haste I missed the place I'd come to see I sought My heart was pained for where I aimed was not the place I thought!
the poem have nice rhymes, and since you made it very simple, it's doesn't feel that long~ if you want an idea, for the title from me, them the word 'misplaced' may be good. something like [Misplaced Journey]
Tad rough, but it gets the Message across >_<. Theme: Freedom Rules When I was but a little boy, My favorite word was "Why?" I thought I was a sneaky snake. No method I would not try. I screamed, I yelled, and did what I could, to earn that smack upside the head. And when I last I had simmered down. She would just sent me off to bed. For years in my old crooked heart, She was nothing but a witch She had though herself a queen when she was always just a *cough-cough-cough*! but when at last the time had come to strike out on my own I was lost without a clue, and longing for my home. And so after years of pain, I now count myself among the fools It was only at the end I learned, There is reason for the rules.
Sense of completeness with 4 lines? For each stanza it's a different topic or line of thought for me. So it just depends on what you're thinking and how you want to express yourself ^-^
Theme: Distance Spoiler: Thaw Thaw There is a distance... between you and I it is not judged by meters... or one's eye but true is true... we are two in two with a space barring... your heart from mine. I wish to offer passion… of ceaseless adoration But see this wall… like the frozen north I dare not cross… without being lost When I see you yonder my heart sound a flutter Like a red hot volcano each pulse is oh so fatal. But even my burning devotion would be frozen by your cold oceans So my feelings I'll say nought a whisper for my words will freeze and shatter, We stay at arm's length… fearing change or pain we two are always together… but our ties muddled unclear even if you are here with me... we have uncertain destinies Yet when there is no distance... between you and I meters two in physics' truth... but miles apart are our hearts Yet ever waiting… behind locked doors beating for you only… is what's already yours.
Hey guys..... just sharing my master piece... Spoiler: Value In Abundance, Gold is dirt. In Passing, Time Withers.
Theme: Puppet Title: I Just . . I am just a nobody I do not have anyone I just follow your orders Walking without knowing Talking without understanding What story you are composing I just have a fragile body Rely on the strings you are holding I just have a superficial feeling Never know what freedom is But, I know how to make you smile Though it is only a moment . . Hi guys.. I'm back. I don't have inspirations to make poem a few weeks ago, so I deliberately choose to not log in NUF. Haha.. just kid. Wow.. there are new themes. Okay.. wait me a few weeks later. Lol
<.< I suggested a Theme, but they didn't want to do it. TT__TT I see how it is......... >_< Bwhahahahhaah! I got to pick on you a little bit @BlancFrost .
Wonderfully written Rene~ ahahahah it's fine if you do them slowly! Having something come to mind and writing it out is hard so it's always nice when you can finally write it down. Go slowly through all the themes \o/ That's great advice! Some haven't done all the themes so it's a good idea to do them when waiting for new challenges to come out~ We did discuss it but we had other themes in mind. (^-^;;; I can't remember, but have you done all the themes yet? Too right Sio~ A certain someone @Bielt lacks time so it's going to be a long wait. Yeah...I was off in dreamland...
