bishopshodan Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I said relax, come on take it slow. Without this rhythm, we can never know. So pale for now. Back in sideways, I respect this life. But I need some help again. Animosity. A better friend, she could be. Heaven's harbours save, at least for a little while. Still I dig this grave and I can't fall a sleep. Let me understand, you drank him back again? An honest vote for fame, for just being you. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ilunga Posted June 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2022 The black dog sits on my shoulder The weight of regret, it breaks my back My shining light, has grown dim My strength of will is wearing thin I thought I knew how to deal with pain But now what I feel, is resentment and shame A better person I could be However all I am, I am is me So from within I must find the strength To stumble on and be my best I owe this not to myself But to the one I cannot let down 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad_BOI_pete Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) Stan from zero to hero Intro. Dear Em, I heard you got my letters, thanks for writing back Truth be told though, h***'s been kind of whack But I'm back on earth, and I'm coming for you I'm gonna end your l*** and your career, too Verse 1: It wasn't that long ago, I made a deal with the devil You crushed my heart, and now I'm ready to take you down I'm coming for you, and I won't be denied I'll make you pay for what you did, I won't be pacified Verse 2: To me, you're the type that pretends to be straight Just to discriminate against the thing's you hate But the same sin that you loathe Is the same one that God punishes, it's not just fate Verse 3: Have you ever guessed that it's not just a bad rap song It's a rant, a false confession, something that's wrong But I'll wait, have you confessed? Say the words, Cross your heart Sub-to-stan-nation, hope I k*** you, you're blessed Verse 4: You had your chance to break bread, instead you chose to make it your buns on fire now, consequences of your fake shit I hope your hungry , here's a cut of my wrap Now for the tip.... reach around my hips, Grab my pocket, close your lips Swallow my pride now honey, you're my b**** Do as I say or I'll face f*** your eye socket, live streamed on Twitch. Verse 5: From the underworld demons, I learned a trick I learned to tap dance on lightning, got a mean rhyme With vocal command, I'll make you s*** my d*** Devil sent me back to earth, one miss shun Two shots, first shot, don't miss son Em, I'm sending your life into remission Outro I had to tell 'em, that the truth will get them, I had to fake 'em, think that I was that guy I had to warn 'em, that all things must die I had to make 'em, think of me as a fool You broke my spirits, the devil brought them back Watch yours while I break it, I'm on the attack. Think about it Em, why would i lie. I had to k*** 'em, now its your turn to d**. Edited December 15, 2022 by Bad_BOI_pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilunga Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 In a room full of people I feel so alone The love of my life does not share my home I try to forget, try to remember the times When we would laugh and play, and the sun used to shine Still the times that we share are golden and bright The memories of those me bring joy and delight The choice that we face, that we all have to make Do we focus on the dark, or reach for the light 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddhahoodlum Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 This pome is about not being able to put your foot down and proclaim “Not today, Satan!” because your demons currently have the upper hand. Satan Über Alles! I’m living in the shadows Cast by misremembered days Searching for a candle When my whole world is ablaze I’m cold as only hot blood can be Squeezed from a heart of stone I’ve endured life’s incessant cold shoulders Chilled to the very bone I’ve got one foot on a tightrope The other’s walking the razor’s edge Like the Ministry of Silly Walks Running from one crisis to the next But I can’t run away from my thoughts Even though I’m always losing my mind I started this race in a hurricane And ever since I’ve been two steps behind We place flowers on the altar Of every abyss Man has ever raised We’re just preaching to the choir Where we pretend we don’t know who’s insane Satan Über Alles! My redemption arc is on a downward spiral Trapped inside the tomb that is my head Full of the sound and none of the fury Signifying everything I wish I’d never said So I wash off the writing on the wall With hard alcohol and tears of regret You get tired of reading between the lines When the in between is all you have left It’s the words before the rhyme I always thought should matter most But in my mind’s echo chamber The inconsequential sounds grandiose The music of the night Is a love song from hell to me And as much as I wish it were true You can’t put your arms around a melody We place flowers on the grave Of every abyss man has ever praised We’re just preaching to the choir Where half are mad the other half are insane Satan Über Alles! Satan Über Alles! Satan Über Alles!! If you wish to create a truly monstrous demon Pluck the wings from an angel ‘til it passes out screaming Satan Über Alles! after all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Nirvanagut Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 I just discovered this thread. I have been a freelance writer for about 15 years now, because, frankly, I'm not talented enough to do anything else. But here are some recent samples of crud I've written: 400 Different Canadian Wildfires The rat at the end of an error taping drugs for later underneath the sink basin of the motel room the height of their powers in the age of shots and prayers takes this chaos outside to stimulate the economy quietly shelving projects forever unfinished with headphones on the rent wasn't the slumlord's child, but they did choose to raise it you don't get to bless this mess you made then hit the road while your conscience goes on sleeping, unbothered by consequences calling all the way down the hall it's a wild age it's a wry old age it's a wilder age burning thyme, time and sage paid an unfair wage evaluate your practices and learn where they came from the Canadian wildfires spread an eerie haze across most of the eastern states alive in purgatory cannot believe the sky is as raw pummeling orange and ruined as the west coast sees every summer but have you seen my new chainsaw and hockey mask? return everything to the status quo sweet disposition but expert hater wrecked homes while cuck's wife became overprotective of her phone whenever he was around this is in fact everyone's first rodeo went awry self-consciousnessly miserable cringe by design thematic pivot to 11 o'clock, sunday morning wiggle room to spontaneously combust is kind of like passing out in peace or peacing the f*ck out skin wouldn't stop sticking to the sheets never going to stay up with you all night who taught you to hate yourself like that? sighilist doesn't remember their first beer gaythiest will never forget their last surrendering cobras and nifty little sleepers looking further afield than was physically possible they all had two bottles of something on their mind but life usually liked to pull the rug out from underneath and the fires are catching up to themselves. Professor of Logic Go smiling, all the whiling something else has caught up with you be it unresolved debt or flippant thought vital organs become more inflamed than the moth attracted to an illuminated phone screen it mistook for a candle, lit a series of inferences looting tonight — take all you can carry split too much fat of no real use rendered down to soap to wash off this thirst of anger blood libel — it’s logical or topical, dueling spit-takes of lifelong students meant to entertain, not mislead gathering recruits, the rhetoric breeds .5 led breaks on the page, gets in your eyes a series of differences bass lines become flat lines later disbelief budded the soil is lush and giving he smoked the whole damn cigarette and the bus never came this is a prison cell of learned doctors this is the cancer ward of ghosts to come just a passing thought, in the parking lot might as well learn to haunt while we’re here it’s black or it’s white but mostly it’s just static. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vancan2233 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 (edited) Science Science is knowledge, magnificence pansophism! Extreme erudition of unmatched intellect, in all its compelling branches; The beautiful and dynamic achievement of flight. A kite flying with great height. A curve ball thrown with might. Phenomenal "Aerodynamics" allows such sights. The amazing structure of the human body such as the heart; Eyes that view a visual art. Ears that tune Mozart. Without the extraordinary systems of "Anatomy" we truly depart. The fascinating studies of humankind. Values help us to be kind. Beliefs are a part of how we are designed. The enthralling and humble "Anthropology" allowing us to be refined. The remarkable mystery of reconstructing past societies. Bio-facts help pieces together ancient aristocracy. Artifacts help determine historical tendencies. Adventurous and valuable "Archaeology" traces of our ancestries. The wonderful feeling and marvel of observing the night sky... Planets are the starting point in charting the galaxies, nothing to defy. Calendars, how else would you know it's July! The mystical stories of "Astronomy" is where our answers lie. There is a fabulous world of the living that the human eye can not see. Bacteria without you there would not be food on land or in sea. Earth's microscopic decomposer and carbon releaser, nature loves thee. Most see it as disease I see "Bacteriology" as exquisite, maybe it's just me! What could be more delightful then knowing our genetic code? DNA the carrier of our complex traits, an imperfect human mold. Chemical processes in living organisms, a sight, if able to see, to behold! Unbelievable and monumental is "Biochemistry" to mapping the human road. I admire the ability to see every aspect of life in a living organism. Classification of species helps define humanism. Behavior the study of stimulus-response may help destroy racism! I find comfort in "Biology" and in its explanation of this organism. I could not be more grateful for the importance in plant life! Oxygen is life, without it we be in the afterlife. Medicine is the healer and prevents the surgical knife. We all should be thankful to lifesaving "Botany" and its lab in the wildlife.

grumpyone Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Where O where has my sanity gone? Flushed out the window like yesterday's song. My body aches for the minds return, I feel empty still tho no one can discern the hollowness inside me as I mourn the blankness my eyes can't see. Thoughts race around with no place to stop the inside of my brain is about to pop. Fragments of phrases bounce to and fro as I still wonder where did my sanity go? My sanity's gone and all is a blur, no one to help me that is for sure. Sanity, sanity won't you come back, too many voices behind my back. I've always wondered where sanity goes, how it survives and whether it glows. The blank piece of canvas inside of my head, waiting for no one to paint it with red. Red is the colour insanity craves, bright, live and cheery like sanity's graves. All I want is my sanity back, to live out my dreams and have nothing to lack. Its back, its back colours once long gone are no longer black. My lazy, crazy, zany brainy days are long gone 'cause my sanity less days are long forgotten. Yes my sanity is back in town and those plain white days of mindless drivel are history. Sanity leaves your brain all behind, while flashes of colour flood through the mind. If the sanity's gone, what will appear? Probably blankness, a void or thoughts all a mess. Never before has it left in a hurry than scattered ideas seem rather blurry and once a blue moon when it leaves in a rush your face tends to redden all flushed with a blush. I've always wondered where sanity goes Does it escape through the ears ? Or is it the nose? If its gone for a long time and thoughts tend to lack If I don't know where its gone how can i call it back? There is never an end to those thoughtless moments of yore of endless ideas hatching both cons and the pros Didn't I have that idea before? If ever a day lasts too long there my friend, I always can count on it returning to mind my thought into ideas and then in the end It vanishes before the whole thing to paper I send.

MeanSeanBean Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Wrote a couple of Haiku out at the fishing property that didn't fit my Canuck Haiku page. Rocking on the waves Surrounded by hilltop trees I feel I can breathe Don't startle the bear Alone, patrols the forest Alone, she should stay I ponder deep thoughts How much does this water weigh? Keeps me up at night 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyjack Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 (edited) All time favorite poem is Ulysses by Alfred Lord Tennyson. I often read a wide range of poems from various poets and styles. Exposing myself to different forms and themes will expand your poetic horizons and inspire your creativity. I'm working on research proposal about famous poets right now and I found proposal writing service to help me paint pictures with words and evoke emotions through my descriptions. As for me writing poetry is a process of discovery and refinement. Edited July 31 by luckyjack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 have you ever looked at a picture, put yourself in that picture and then write down what you see and how you feel? it is the back half of august and i just noticed the picture on the calendar. the picture is of a boy and his dog daydreaming in the shade of an oak tree, beside a small brook. this is my first attempt; lying back against a sturdy oak, with my best friend teddy. as i lay there, all the hustle and bustle of the day and life, seems to fade to a stillness in my mind. a brook breaks the silence with a gentle lapping. cares, disappear as if gobbled up by the places and adventures of my mind. hello universe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
