Well, I'm currently working on some more...

All I've got to add today is one that's a bit...

Well, let's just say it's less artistic than the rest.

Well, tell me if you like it.


"A Rose"

The love I see is like a rose,
Whose beauty pleases eye and nose;
But thorns can prick unwary hands,
And love contains unseen demands.
Yet deep within our simple minds,
One thought will pass the test of time:
Despite the thorns that prick and sting,
A rose will be a lovely thing.
__________________________________

Yeah... I don't like this one much.

I'm not big on "love."

Anyway, tomorrow I've got one small one and the start of another I'll put up for inspection.

'Till then, enjoy the above.

You really liked that one that much?

I'm taken aback.


Well, I guess I'll put up some more:

The first one I call "Showoff."

Sort of a commentary on crappy education sytems...



"Showoff"

Of all I see and all I know,
All of that is merely show.
The only thing that matters now
Is what you do; when, why, and how.
______________________________________

Okay, so It's short...

To compensate, I'll put down a snippet from another, one I haven't finished. Tell me how it sounds:



"What lies Within"

The human mind has yet to see
All the things that it could be
________________________________


And that's what I have so far.

Hey, I'm working on it, okay...?

Ure dark is quite pleasing, U have quite a tender touch with words.
Keep-up the excellence

Truce- I liked it. two hunters that let each other pass. like a war to let one captive go almost.

Moonchild:

Thanks. I'm glad you like them so much.


Silent:

That one's actually based on fact...

I was sitting in my living room when a spider actually crawled up to my toe. And left.

I was moved by the encounter, so I decided to write about it.

It's one I kinda like.

Man, I let this thing sink pretty far, didn't I?

Well, I've been trying to write, hoping to have some new stuff to show off, but so far, nothing much.

So, I think I'll put this one up:

Needs some work, mostly in the dialogue towards the end.

More to come, some old, and hopefully some new.



"Urban Archery"




The other day I was walking down the street
With a drum beat pounding out from my feet.

I was tired of listening to others!
I was tired of guarding my brothers!

Quiver on my back, bow slung ‘cross my arm…
Raging… In pain… Intent on doing harm

I strung.

I noched.

I drew.

I loosed.

I shot an arrow into the air
And where it fell I did not care!

I wanted the world to feel…

Wanted someone else to feel…

To hurt like I hurt.

To cry like I cried.

To feel what I felt.

To die, like I died…




Then Yesterday I saw my friend,
Sitting at the sidewalk’s end

His arm was wrapped up tight and in a sling.
“What happened?” I cried, “Who did this thing?”

He turned his head and looked into my eyes,
And managed to speak, on his second try...

“I had sat beneath an old oak tree,
And spoke to those who would listen to me…

“An arrow struck me from the air!
An arrow shot from-I know not where…”

I cried with him and said aideu,
And thought myself the more pained of the two.

For I knew his pain, I knew his sorrow.
But far worse than that… I know who shot that arrow.

_______________________________________________

Okay, okay...

I wrote it for an assignment.

I didn't do that good, I know it, you know it...

Let's move on, shall we?


More soon.

Jarek:

You're first one was a bit corny, touching, and good.
You're third one was even better, expressing your anger and frustration with just about everything today.
You're second one about the spider was AWESOME, excellent, LOVED IT!

Keep posting, please.

Heh, thanks.

Wait... Corny? :p




Truce is one of my favs, too.

One of the ones I can read without feeling sick.

Jarek:
Sorry about the comment about corny. It wasn't and I've read more of your stuff before decided to post one of my own.



As yet untitled...

When pain's depression paralyzes my body,
My soul's voice screams so fucking loudly,
And though my ideals stand every so proudly,
I falter and fall weeping inside so softly.

These emotions and thoughts RUSH like the flood,
Draining my power, poisoning my blood,
How will I ever rise out of this rut,
When the muscles and joints seem mired in mud?

There is a way out speaks firmly the mind...
Listen to spirit a secret key you will find,
Stay focussed here, not forward or behind,
Remember to FEEL else 5 of 6 lead you blind.

Heh heh... Don't worry! I wasn't offended, I was kidding!

If you thought it was corny, it's not that big a thing.



Anyway, your poem:

I really like the imagery. I say that alot, but that;s because I really like imagery!

There's a lot of good imagery in yours and not only visual! (at the word "RUSH" I actually HEARD water flowing. Marvelous!)

To be honest, some of the symbolism escapes me, but I liked it. A very nice piece of work.

...what a loveley surprise, (looks around)I came to welcome my friend back
and I find this,(lol). My two friends have found each-other without any of my leading(direction). This is wonderful
And jarrek, sir where have U been? U've missed much and been missed much

I have?

Uh, good!




I've been off, trying to write...

Looking for inspiration...

Still left with bits and peices, and no real work finished.


::sigh::

Okay, oh well.

I'll see what I can get ready to show off next.

I think it will be one I call "To Face the End," but I don't know.

Sorry.

Anyway, I have GOT to find more time to write.

I need to finish the poetry I'm weriting so I can put it up here...

"Stormbringer" is coming; but first, a haiku:

Haikus are, aparantly, supposed to be about nature, so most of mine I can't show for fear of embarrasment about their subjects. (what do you call a Haiku with an identity crisis?)

So, I'll only post this one.

Title follows the piece:


They die in my hands
With a satisfying "pop."
Blood-sucking bastards...

(I call it "Fleas.")

Hope to get more-that is, if I can find the time...

School REALLY sucks time, you know?

Anyway... Uh...

More to come!
