Post your poems here!

Here are some of mine. I'm not the best of poets, as you can see

Sunrise Comes

As sunrise comes,
The birds, they call,
The sun comes out,
A glowing ball.
The air is still,
A frozen lake,
And all around,
Begin to wake.
Dew-drops glisten
Upon the ground,
Creatures come out,
Without a sound.
The sky above
Turns silvery-grey,
And every soul
Welcomes the day.

Only

When all around turns grey and bad,
Forget the things that make you sad,
It will be just then, you will see,
The only thing you need is me.

Was feeling lazy so I wrote some couplets:

Blue and Green

The most menacing thing I've ever seen,
The sea and it's glorious blue and green.

Worth The While

Sunshine, memories, a great big smile,
Yes, that's what makes life worth the while.
_____________________

Words

With words I live,
With words I breathe.
From longest stream,
To smallest leaf.

With words I live,
With words I see.
Without my words,
I am not me.

With words I live,
With words I fly.
With words I'm born,
With words I'll die.

The Library

The printed words of a man long
dead,
The musty old pages being
read.

Between covers, they tell tales of
old,
Books of villains and castles of
gold.

Though not of this world are those
stories,
Of dragon-slayers and their
glories.

Some tell of the stars and of the
moon,
And yet others tell of certain
doom.

While all are different, yet the
same,
Their titles are printed on the
brain.

Through the library's door we must
look,
To find the object, it is a
book!

Noyerd's thoughts

Here's another one; we had to compose individually in class:

Hope

Ever the night seems to be falling
Ever the darkness seems to be calling
I see an evening star up yonder -
It shines, and I wonder.

Ever my dreams seem to fade
Ever my wishes seem unmade
I see a light in the distance
As though through a mist is thrown a lance.

Ever sadness invades my day
Ever loneliness pervades my way
I see a hope on the horizon -
It's the sun that has risen.

That's all for now.

Not bad everybody... I'm affraid I've only written poems, or somethings that are supposed to be poems, at times when I was depressed, so everything is not that pleasant... It's only when I'm sad I have words, when I'm happy I dance :D

This is one I started working on years ago, when I had drawn a rose on a peace of paper. I'm not sure it's finnished yet:

“A beautiful death”
“A rose in my garden I saw
So cold and so bright
As it stood there in the night

This was to be
My last beautiful sight
For I was fading away
Away from the beauty
Away from this world
Fading into darkness”


(Don't worry, there's no actual truth in that...)

"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." - JRR Tolkien

"Too bright were the eyes of Arien for even the Eldar to look on, and leaving Valinor she forsook the form and raiment which like the Valar she had worn there, and she was as a naked flame, terrible in the fullness of her splendour."

Star is right, it should be "fading." It should also be "This was to be."

Despite that, it's very good indeed!

Sorry, I'm a bit of a perfectionist sometimes, so I tend to notice stuff like that.
It is very good though, especially considering English isn't your native language.

this one is the best up till now. Good job Star! the words are very expressive.
just one tiny mistake instead of 'shoes' you should put 'shows'...but the meaning is still clear anyway :)

When the cold of winter comes
Starless night will cover day
In the veiling of the sun
We will walk in bitter rain

But in dreams
I still hear your name
And in dreams
We will meet again

When the seas and mountains fall
And we come, to end of days
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there
And back again

ok this is a prose poem I made in honor of Turin son of Hurin. It was inspired by his name 'Thurin'.



The Secret


Thurin, Thurin O secret within a secret!
Thus Finduilas of Nargothrond named you
and though you denied it your ever-beating heart knew it was true; you were a secret, O son of Hurin and Morwen, lord of Dor-lomin!
O secret amidst a world of turmoil and hate.
O man disguised in identity and name for fear of encountering you Destiny, yet never in fear of revealing your heart's wishes.
O secret shining like a star in death-like eyes.
O secret kept from others and a burden upon your own self.
Thurin, Thurin son of Sorrow no man had to bear such a disheartening fate except for you!
And though you desired to flee from it your ever-wandering feet always led you to it.
Thurin! O secret held in the steel of a sword, in the rays of the sun, in the soil of the Earth from whence you came, how long will you continue to bear that which you were cursed by?
Do you revel in the bitter cold of the winter or have you come to desire the warmth of the sun once again?
Thurin, O secret of the wilderness enclosed in the hands of Nellas, captured in the red seregon mantling the head of Amon Rudh, your journey is long and your Destiny is darker than the Edge of the Night.

So what do you think everyone?

And in dreams

And we come, to end of days

Thanks Star :D very glad you enjoyed it this is my best prose poem so far...
