    I wrote this one for English class.

    Three rings for the Elven kinggs under th sky,
    Seven for the Dwarf lords in their halls of stone,
    Nine for mortal men doomed to die,
    One for the dark lord on his dark throne
    In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.
    One Ring to rule them all, one ring t find them,
    One ring to bring them all and in the darknes bind them
    In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.

    Unfortunately my teacher had read the book and I had to do it over again. I got a 43% on that so I'm not going to post it.

    If you don't know who wrote that it was J.R.R. Tolkien.

    Man, this thread died without me when my modem crashed.... I'm trying Satiana's challenge again. I'm a happier person now. ;) Digging yourself out of depression does you no end of good.

    IT'S ALL IN THE FACE YOU WEAR

    One of the things I've seen in life:
    It's all in the face you wear.
    The things that others see in you
    Depend on what you show to them
    You can't expect to blindly hide
    In a corner, wrapped in yourself
    And still shine out as what you are;
    Yes, it's all there, in the face you wear
    So breathe in deep and smile.
     
  3. Whoa. Too many poems.... just happened to catch an order from Tia to Blacky... ;)

    They *are* really good poems though. Keep continuing you guys and girls!

    Bumping for Tiamat

    Bumping for Tiamat,
    An endless thrill.
    And one that requires
    The utmost skill.

    I follow command,
    I press the Reply,
    I type in this message,
    Send this thread to the sky.

    It never gets old,
    nor ceases to need,
    The wondrous abilities
    Of a spammer's deed.

    Of Good And Evil

    Bright-eyed heroes in shining armor,
    Marching to fight evil
    with no shadow of doubt in their eyes.
    This is their fate -
    Saving the world from monsters.
    So swords are drawn,
    Gods of good are called on,
    And one more place is cleansed of evil.
    The battle is over.
    One dragon less.
    The sky one shade duller.

    Just two pieces I wrote a little while ago...

    I am the Dark, I move in corners of your eye
    My intentions are cruel, evil, you fail to guess why
    I am the Unknown, you hear me crawl you hear me creep
    Hiding, rushing, tracking, hunting you down
    I know your weakest spot, I know how to hit you deep
    You cannot run you cannot hide, you are alone
    I am the beast, the fangs, the claws
    I follow your scent, your blood without remorse
    You think you grew strong, you grew stable, and maybe wise
    Listening to reason, sense, the voice of your mind
    You think you can escape, wake up, avoiding my kind
    You listen my child, my prey for I will tell my disguise
    You trust Im not real, a ghost, for killing in dreams I merciless strife?
    My innocent child, prepare for the terror, prepare for my name
    My victim, my prey, I feast on fear, can you stay sane?
    Feel safe little toy of mine, and listen well, to hear my name for it is
    Life


    Throughout a life built on pride, determined by laws selfproclaimed
    You walk along this road of predetermined depression
    Moving faster every stride, blind to the loss of blood - petrified
    Along your journey you fail to keep any strength, any aggression
    With the last tear drained, your will reduced to dust
    With dreams shattered, and beliefs vaporized
    With a soul enchained, a body torn by pain and frust
    With hope eradicated, a spirit terrorized
    After all held dear is gone, after you failed in all you tried
    To safe you there is none, all you trusted was mostly lied
    You pause looking back at your life - Realizing
    You will be all alone in what you created unknowingly
    Your own, living hell
    ps: in memories of j. - i miss you dear friend

    This is me venting.
    As you might be able to tell, I had a BAAAAD day. :p

    STAGE FRIGHT

    in front of a crowd of three
    paper's hard folds clutched into my hand
    making grainy wrinkes as I start to speak
    between inner fogs of pain and silence
    struggling to think think through utter blankness
    i'm not afraid
    i know fear as intimately as a lover, in the pits of my stomach
    and this is not his familiar touch
    i'm forgetting my rules now
    dom's first rule is, "the semblance of confidence is everything"
    and her second is, "if all else fails, bluff"
    but now all has failed
    and nothing fills the silence
    in the empty spaces of my mind
    something forces outward
    a nervous giggle as I run out of thoughts
    but i'm only embarrased, only quiet, only blank
    not afraid
    this isn't stage fright, is it?

    A poem I wrote when I was ill...It is not really finished yet.

    Strange World

    The world is in panic.
    People get old and die.
    New humans are born.
    Beautiful humans in a sick and strange world.
    The tree outside is green with red tulips!
    Many people get hurt daily, both physical and psychically.
    I love my bed, it is so warm and cosy!
    Right *now* someone dies, someone cries.
    I could not help them.
    If people started thinking like that the world would be even more chaotic.
    Carrotjuice?
    I dunno, never tasted it!
    My cousin is from Colombia.
    His mom left him when he was 6 months!
    Many people are poor just like his mom.
    I wonder, can I really trust someone?
    How do I know they dont tell anyone else?
    How much does Bill Gates give to the poor?
    Some months ago my best friends grandpa died.
    She was *so* sad.
    He was like a second mom and dad to her!
    She almost lived in their house!
    Her grandma is very sad too...
    Maybe I can help them?
    Do they trust me?
    Do I trust them???
    Every day she came home from school she went to her grandpa's.
    I've gotta tidy my room!
    NOW!
    .....
    The clock is half past eight.
    The world will never be the same again without her grandpa...
    What if my grandpa dies!
    *sigh*
    A pink elephant is flying around outside my window.
    Twirling around, cops doesnt seem to like that..
    hehe
    Lifa cant be a paradise!
    It can never be!
    If the world was a paradise we shouldnt have anything but nightmares to dream about!
    Paradise - no
    Hell - maybe...
    Humans have too much evil powers inside their hearts, inside their souls.
    All of us have.
    I mean, who doesnt like playing evil in putergames?
    Who didnt play games with evil dragons when we were kids?
    Who never wanted to be the bad guy in a theater or a game?
    No, life cannot be a paradise with carrotjuice, pink flying elephants, eternal life and peace!
    We humans are too greedy...
    For us almost *everything* is unfair.
    But who cares, really?
    It can never be fair!
    I would not be funny if everyone had the same things!
    The same toys, when you were a child...
    But who cares about rightness and such, as long as you are happy?
    Who?
    I want a red dragon just like Chreggy!
    Life is *NOT* a paradise, not even close!
    *laughing*
    Many people die an unnatural death and many people dont.
    You care?
    Girls, and boy, in the world are forced to be prostituted.
    They get hit, hurt and even killed by their lovers.
    Ouch...
    Children all over the world are sold to perverts, their parents doesnt even know.
    A walk to the market cant take so long, can it?
    They dont know anything about, that maybe granny sold their daughter on the market to get a little extra cash!
    I am hungry...
    I think Pringles will do the thing!
    Big, fat people(maybe skinny and small too)sit on their fat butts all day listening to music, answering phonecalls, filling in some papers maybe playing some putergames too...
    Why?
    Why do we waste our time?
    They think they are poor, broke but there is poorer people.
    You who read this can be happy!
    There is ALWAYS someone poorer than you!
    Always...
    10$ is enough for a kid to allow him/her to go to school, have something to eat and have a roof over their head.
    That is quite amazing!
    Heh, but who cares...
    Really, who...?
    I am sure many people thinks that "what do they do?", "they havent deserved their money, so they aint gonna get any from me!"
    Those people who says those things arent supposed to be alive.
    They cant take their money, buy a BIG pineapple and give it to me so I can stick it right up in their fat asses!
    By the way, why the hell am I sitting here?!?!
    Why am I writing this stupid poem?!?!
    Like someone would even read it!
    HAH!
    I am not a goodie goodie person that gives all my money to the poor, not one of those persons that want a pineapplein my ass either!
    Neither of these two sorts of people!
    I am a gal in the middle of everything!
    I don care bout nothin!
    Well, since I dont do any good (or evil!) here, I will now go to the tv and do even less than anything possible!
    I am gonna convert oxygen to carbon dioxide!
    Weeha, that is just sooo...uh..GREAT!
    Look out sofas, here I come!
    :D

    here's a poem i wrote while i was dealing with this girl and how she didn't like me at ALL and how i had to accept it.

    DreamChaser

    I can see
    You and me
    On the horizon
    And I weep
    Because I see
    The truth between
    You and me

    I clear my eyes
    Get on my feet
    And chase the horizon
    Alas it seems
    That my dream
    Is running away from me

    I turn around
    And in the lake
    I see the glory
    Of my mistake
    Chasing after
    Impossible dreams
    Has brought me closer to the truth it seems

    That was a good poem...
    :D
    This is a poem I wrote today.

    A Soul?

    It's dark, it's light.
    It's good, it's evil.
    It's loving, it's hating.
    Happy, Sad
    Warm, Cold
    Laughing, Crying
    White, Black or Blue?
    It's strong, it's weak
    Beautiful and ugly.
    It is filled with joy!
    Corrupted by Darkness...
    It is broken, it is lonely, it's lost.
    It is thoughtful, it is repaired.
    It has survived many catastrophs.
    It LOVES adventures!
    It is sometimes very bored.
    Sometimes almost dead.
    But it can brighten up,
    if someone tells it
    that he or she loves it!
    It can fall in love,
    it can kill.
    And it has a strong will.
    I owns itself, have no master
    But it belongs to me.
    And only me.
    Because this, my friends, this is my soul.
    My own little soul, that I carry around in my body through this world.
    It belongs here, in my heart, forever.
    No matter what happens, it will always stay here, by my side.

    Here is one---totally off the cuff.

    Many sorrows it seems
    have passed my way.
    Changing night to day
    and back again.

    It's an old story that has been
    passed along, like no one wants to forget.
    But it is here I sit
    mulling over it in the dark.

    Will it leave its mark
    on my beating heart?
    Is it only the start
    of my pain on this journey of life?

    God, why such strife
    and intense sorrow molests me?
    I can no longer see
    or feel past its overbearing hold!

    I feel utterly cold,
    as it entraps me in my own thought.
    My struggle is for not,
    yet I cry out!

    It is my fear and my doubt
    that binds me to this sorrow?
    Or the dawn of tommarow
    that brings me no sweet relief.

    I cannot utter my true belief
    for it might drive me to insanity.
    Yet, oh what a calamity,
    for not doing so might bring the same!

    Yet who is there to blame
    for these feelings that haunt me?
    It is I, don't you see,
    who could end this cowardly sorrow.

    I shall wake up on the morrow
    and let the sun shine on my face.
    Look about for just a trace
    of hope and cling on to it.

    Just for a little bit
    so that I may get my bearings.
    Then I might be able to start caring
    about someone other than myself.

    I am actually surprised...!
    I didn't think that so many guys actually wrote poems...
    Almost all of you guys and gals are really good at writing!
    I hope I will become good too when I get older!
    :D
    Keep up the good work!
    :DDDD
    Now I just gotta post this funny little poem I wrote yesterday!
    I could not sleep so I picked up my book and started writing on this one!

    Perfect Girlie

    There was once a girl who was so sweet.
    She had green eyes,
    red plaits,
    she was very neat!
    She was cute, she was funny
    and she was smart.
    She wrote poerty and painted art.
    She once dated a boy that was named Mart,
    but she ended up crying, cuz he broke her heart!

    When this perfect little girl
    started at school,
    her classmates picked her out
    and classified her as "fool".
    The smart little girlie
    was often used as a "tool",
    until three other little girlies
    found her very cool!

    Alicia was one of the little girlies name.
    She was smart, cute but her jokes were very lame!
    Hanna was the second one, harder to tame!
    This gril was nice too, she loved her computergame!
    The last one was like the others, quite the same...
    Linn loved her football, she loved to play a game!

    Now the perfect little girlie
    found three perfect little friends.
    Well, now when I am finished telling,
    this joyful little story must have an end!

    :D

    here's another one i wrote
    there's a referance to LotR, just a warning!

    Dream…Nightmare?

    It is a man
    In the middle of the room
    Conversation all around
    None concerning him
    He sits down and takes his life
    No one notices

    Another image appears
    It is a boy
    All by himself
    Drowned in darkness
    Yet somehow
    He manages to thrive
    He looks up
    At me with forlorn eyes
    And smiles
    And I am touched

    What are these images?
    What do they foretell?
    Should I be scared?
    Or thrilled?

    He disappears and I’m alone
    On a blank and vacant landscape
    Not even sure if that’s what it is
    Then I jerk forward, and fall
    Another apparition begins to take form

    Then a girl appears
    This one, drowned out by light
    Beacons like the sun
    Yet inside I see something
    Not like the boys
    But…sad she longs to feel like the boy
    Yet she would never sacrifice her light
    Her precious life
    Her precious…

    [​IMG] Morning's embracing lullaby
    Still the drugs of sleep stains my mind
    Drip drip, noise of the alarm clock
    Bringer of lights morning glory
    Thick black river of addiction
    Banishing the dark song of sleep
    Healing the battleweary mind
    Holy coffee be brewed, instant
    Either flows warm through your body
    Battered from nights tormenting rest
    Coffee!!!!! :)

    ok, it ended up more a rambling than a poem, oh well.
    Was inspired by the Tea poem, hehe ;)

    Schwarzes Wasser

    gleich was ich sing
    alles vergeht
    schon verweigern unsre Körper
    das Sterben.
    Was bleibt,
    wenn nicht das schwarze Wasser.

    bad translation:
    black water

    no matter what i'm singing
    everything vanishes
    yet our bodies deny
    to pass away.
    What is remaining
    if not the black water. (?)

    Depressing, is'nt it ;).

    Far Away

    Locked inside my soul,
    seperate from the world.

    A prison or a sanctuary.
    May it be heavan or hell.

    Thoughta are indiviudalized,
    understood only in my mind.

    Feelings flow through my vains.

    Inside I am pressing to get out.
    Outside is pressing to get in.

    Far away from everything, everyone,
    I stand alone.

    Understood only by myself.
