Thanks! And OK, I'll think of a title.(And I like emo........)
Lol YAY!!! Ummm but didn't you say it had to be 300-something words long...?
Oh. Ok. (YAY I DON'T HAVE TO WRITE A SUPER LONG POEM NEXT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) )
Nice poem, Rachel! It's very nice. :D Al is super incoherent sometimes. ;] Yes, I'll have to think of a poem...
yeah, i was like "jeez that's a long poem!" but you have one of the best vocabularies I've seen on here in...a long time. maybe i'll have to whip out some of my vocab ;] hope to have a poem up soon!
Mic! Yeah, I can't wait to see your poem! Now I have to write one... Yay! :D
:D Thanks Al, and Doc P! :D I know, I have a pretty wide vocab knowledge, it's just that I don't think vocabulary is the most important thing in poems and stories that you love to write. I think getting your emotions and feelings across to the readers is the most crucial thing.
*laughs at you guys*I can't wait for Mic's (is it OK if I call you that? everyone else here is...) poem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And lol thanks...
Here's my poem(and it's not 300 words long):
True Happiness
by Sarah M.
It's a dream come true
but it's still just a dream
It's a feather in my cap
But it's splitting the seam
It's a castle in the air
On a rainy day
With each allowance
A price to pay
It's a fairytale
With no 'happily ever after'
It's a three-ring circus
Without the laughter
It's a Garden of Eden
Where all fruit is forbidden
True happiness is somewhere
But it must be well hidden

OH MY GOSH! I love it! I really do! Very nice job! :D Hmm, I don't think I can top any of these... they're so good...
Well, we definitely mean it; you're a great poetry writer, as far as I can tell. :D
Really? 'Cause, not to sound like I'm bragging, it's not one of my better poems. I just wrote it real quick because my story wasn't going anywhere.
I often find that the poems I come up with quick are my better ones because you're not changing your thoughts and original feelings, and you're just writing.
Hmm, good point! I think you're on to something...
Ugh, I still can't think of a good poem idea, though! Happiness... :/
Awesome Sarah!!! She should win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sure, ya can call me Mic :D (Haven't been in a couple days and already missed so much!) I oughta just change my name to Mic on here. Still no further on a poem tho...and, and i meant no offense to anyone by the last comment. Yes, I love cool, weird words, but they're definitely not what makes a good writer necessarily. Sometimes it can be so overdone that you just sound haughty, which I'm on the brink of here cuz I keep rambling. Ah, it's so easy to sound mean in writing!
Oh, Mic, that's ok. You didn't offend me. I don't know if it's easy to sound mean in writing, but sometimes I catch myself saying things I didn't mean to come out offensive. I'm a talker, but not a very good one. :/
I am an impolite talker...? I find that very rude of you to say. And I most always have sincere ambitions in what I say, sister.
This is why my brother and I are in different groups!
And you are one of many who say I am too skinny. Your assumptions or insults, or whatever they may be, are bad ones, dear sister. At least my nose isn't crooked. :P
Don't worry, you're not alone!
Haha! About the crooked nose thing? Jk. ;D
finally got it!Eternity
by Mic
sitting beside my Tiger Lily
silky petals tickling my arm
in a caressing breeze
tinged blue by Horizon Dusk
two faces turned to the Stars of the Past
like Sleepers awaiting Jesus
while returning into the earth
back-first and trusting
sinking into my Mother
I wonder if there is everlasting happiness
and if this is it
Amazing, Mic! I love it! Glad you posted one! Now for my poem... I better get crackin!
Had to use a poem that I already wrote a little time ago, but I think this one is appropriate. Changes
by Hanzle
Changing from perfect clarity,
and total comprehension,
to countless actions,
that are hard to define.
Innumerable utterances and flattery,
and forceful acts of persuading,
that are lost in the fog,
that won't seem to lift,
with awkward forgetfulness,
of senseless anxieties,
These agitations may matter to you,
and mean a great deal to many,
but these changing qualities and dispositions,
are from a girl who is carefree and happy.
Humanity can take my cumbersome growth,
and do with it as they please,
but this inconvenience is opportune,
to alter hearts that won't budge,
that can't evolve without a fight,
My puzzling transformations,
however lighthearted and vexing they may be,
could win the hearts of many,
and maybe change that precious vessel of outlook.

Happiness is in sighting the stars that twinkle
exuberantly in the sky; profoundly illuminating the
treachery of the murderously satanic night,
Happiness is in gallivanting freely through the
meandering hills; letting the breeze from the scarlet
horizons; tickle you profusely till the ultimate spine down your nape,
Happiness is in benevolently donating; witnessing an
invincible smile light up; on impoverished faces
submerged in a cloud of derogatory sadness,
Happiness is in bouncing ebulliently on the lap of
your sacrosanct mother; completely surrendering your
immaculate identity in her magnanimously divine swirl,
Happiness is in inundating barren mountains of canvas
with resplendent color; assimilating the mesmerizing
beauty of the planet; in astoundingly vivacious shapes and forms,
Happiness is in inhaling the fragrance of soil and
ravishing rose; being enthralled till times beyond
eternity; as you rolled full throttle on the seductive carpets of lush green grass,
Happiness is in whistling melodiously across the
gorgeously fathomless gorge; let the mystical volley
of exotic echoes encompass your boisterous visage from all ends,
Happiness is in floating uninhibitedly in the placid
lakes; let the animated festoon of incredible
dolphins; leap ecstatically by your side,
Happiness is in dancing vibrantly with the impeccable
fairies; profoundly relish the marvelously pearly rays of shimmering moon; on each cranny of your drearily devastated skin,
Happiness is in fighting unrelentingly for the
ultimate essence of truth; disseminating its Godly
virtue to the most farthest and remotest corner of
this gigantic earth,
Happiness is in discovering an insurmountable
battalion of newness every unfurling second of the
day; bemusing the gloomy cells of your mind with
unprecedented intrigue,
Happiness is in harboring all whom you encountered in
their times of despairing distress; embracing them
equally with the candle of humanity; flaming profusely in your soul,
Happiness is in harnessing the fruits of nature to the most optimum limits; watching them perpetually blossom as you traversed through the corridors of tantalizing paradise,
Happiness is in evolving new trends with your own
blood; coining a sea of benign philosophies; which
benefit the most infinitesimal of living kind,
Happiness is in dedicating your life to the service of the deprived; persevering as the most richest man on this Universe; while your fellow comrades existed
under the stupendously magnificent glory of royal
Sunshine,
Happiness is in commencing each day as a fresh chapter of life; intrepidly transcending over the miseries of the dolorous past; filtering blissful pouches of space to survive,
Happiness is in breathing for your cherished mission
till times immemorial; following the innermost voices
of your passionately throbbing heart; even as the
uncouth world outside lambasted you insidiously from
all sides,
Happiness is in leading life higher than the clouds;
affording the same the same to your tangible friends;
till the moment Almighty Lord wanted you to wander and survive,
Happiness is in considering yourself to be just a
whisker of God's infinite Creation; and yet feeling
the most endowed molecule alive,
Happiness is in caring; Happiness is in sharing;
Happiness is in unity; Happiness is in beauty;
Happiness is in immortal love; most importantly true
Happiness is in the chapter called LIFE...
