Share your own poetry, share poetry written by a friend (with their permission of course) or share poetry from your favorite poet! Talk about your favorite types of poetry, and share poetry challenges for everyone to partake in! We have a month to enjoy this, to celebrate what it means to be a poet (though most of us share this year round), so let's have a blast with it! My usual challenge is to write one poem for each day in April, which I always achieve but I am going to try to spice it up by giving myself certain prompts or words that I have to use in the poem. This will be fun, hope everyone stops by to join in!

Her silver cord were heavy chains Keeping her tethered to a world That caused her mostly pain. I saw her eyes, not brimming with light But fading in shadows. She walks like a ghost, Even though she has a pulse. Her heart is lined with fear, Pumping out trepidation and Spreading anxiety like wildfire. I feel sorry for her, walking half in one world, And half in another. Her fingertips stutter for hope, But are smashed and ignored. When I peered into her, I saw all of me disappear into the shade. I saw me walking blindly, Running into whatever was in my way. I felt handicapped by reality, Suddenly there were no two people; Suddenly there was only one. Together we walk in two worlds, Never knowing up from down. 4-2-12

Suge member Turbo Cunt Joined: 11/26/07 Location: The Rezervation Posts: 41,156	I wrote a poem using fifty words exactly. Not as easy as it sounds. Watching flowers live and die I miss fields of flowers Bowing to my presence. I miss the petals kissing my legs As I wandered by. What youthful innocence once Wrested in my heart has been Brutally ripped from my being. I know nothing stays the same for long, The flowers will die. So will I. 4-3-12

The blades on my ice skates I like to sharpen them These odd days of slipping by way of the slip and I don't like to be down in it I put my skates away Make a cloud of rain and let the ice melt away. The new day doesn't need to be an odd day Did all the ice shatter? the dim.. I'm scared i'm not afraid the slip keeps coming back it keeps reappearing.. I am weak with a blade now These odd days and the swamp the slip of grieving I put my sword down set myself aflame i've been a flower in the wind in a temporal that finds comfort in the slip behaviorism Why does pity Win closed eyes and sleeping hearts get so dim What will I be I can't die into it I'm Braeburn Apples Edited 2 time(s).

An ocean of thought overwhelms me, And I'm thinking about how beautiful Death tastes when it dances on your tongue. On the paper, I pour my heart out And let the words breathe the anguish That riddles my mind. My memory full of holes, I can only Sit here and let reminiscence take over, Though I don't know if I can bare to remember. 4-5-12

Joined: 11/16/08 Posts: 948	Gathering Dust You barely noticed me Couldn't have gone differently You belong to society Couldn't stop for a pastry I was unaware of such beauty Could be lost memory I was afraid to pause and see Could this image truly be? You ordered a cup of coffee I heard your words and felt dizzy You asked for directions to the sea I drowned, now, and for Eternity I sit alone holding a penny Feeling foolish and a bit guilty I close my eyers and count to three Hoping you turn around and join me.

Suge member Turbo Cunt Joined: 11/26/07 Location: The Rezervation Posts: 41,156	In the end, there is nothingness My tongue is splashed with doom. I'm a junkie for despair and death Is a good friend of mine. I'm the darkness in your mind, Killing asta and fleeing the night. Shrouded in moonlight, I play games in the cemetery and Await the purple sky of morning. My thoughts become black and dusk Can't save me now. Raindrops splatter like rushed thoughts, Suddenly, I'm a star going out, Falling down to hell In a blaze not of glory, but of nothingness. Reality is chaos to me, It fills my nightmares with fire and paranoia. I whisper for help but it catches on the wind, And gets lost somewhere between Truth and ignorance. Hate and love are blind to me, I scream to break the silence but cannot penetrate Through the darkness in my heart. I am a goddess of flagellation, The pain is imaginary, but the scars are real. 4-9-12

I think it is because I see your strength, your brilliance, your talent, your resolve, and I admire you for it.. I just thought to mention it...

I've worn mine for years, Have played as a jester For as long as I can remember. What's underneath this Porcelain mask is a lifetime Of pain and injury. I try to pass it off as personality, But everyone can see my scars. The moment I take the mask off, People run, for how do you deal With such a monster? I put back on the mask, So people can't see me cry. I want to be accepted for All my trials and errors, For all my joys and faults. But people seem to only want the mask That entertains them, not the one That makes them all think. 4-9-12
