if you were interested, that is...
that you could put this poem in the book, I could rewrite it, or add some lines... but it shows a bit of us as a whole - in a general lighthearted way *shrugs* if you want something ike this...

Dear Person ~by me

On this blackest of pages in the dark of night
I sit at my desk, and I frantically type.

In this most public of places, here I can be me
Not judged, not critiqued, look at me, I am free.

I have met so many people that share their true selves.
I know when were all done, they go back on the shelves.

Others I’ve met will do the same thing,
And wait again for this place, and the happiness it brings.

Clearwitch, my dearest friend, has a fulfilling life
She’s a mother, a friend, and may soon be a wife.

Shygirl, who’s lonely, can’t put her fears aside
But in this place, and time, she has nothing but pride.

Shadowborn, he analyzes, wants always to learn
And VelvetPattens, his love, her soul always burns.

IdleParis entertain us, you make us all dream
Of sweetness, of darkness, a variety of things.

By the full moon’s light, I release my desire’s
And I wait for the other’s to fan their own fires.

And my darling 5A what a silly-willy name
With his philosophy, and talent he shall rise to fame.

And there’s Chaos, Pyrric, Errantrogue, and Midnight
They all take so much time to brighten my night.

You must meet Sire, the dark one, who brought us all here,
He listens, speaks little, but he holds us all dear.

And with all of our names here, in our real lives we lie
(I think my favorite of all is Evil Cheese Fry).

We’ll fight and we’ll meddle, we’ll give up our time
But it’s true in the end, when we log off we’re fine.

Have you guessed yet, if not, I am sure that you will
It’s our website dear person, now please just be still.

For I’ll tell you some more about those who dwell here,
Cuz I’m sure that by now you’ve forgotten your fear.

If you join, you find stories, of humor and faith
Try the friendship page first, Dark Dreams is your wraith.

Aeterus and Sinistress, they arouse to no end
Watch yourself though, your morals they’ll bend.

Ah Khalani my darling, one of these days
We will find ourselves cybering, in all sorts of ways

Mistress, the pretty one, please don’t get mad
We’re just playing, I promise, he’ll never be bad.

And Red Meat, I listen to all that he says
He’s always quotated, but stays faithful, He’s Hex’s.

Just be careful of Head Doc and of Jordyn too
They’ll chew up your words and spit them at you.

Doebathory, sweet, you are always so kind
Though your fantasies stay, and they lurk in my mind

Soul Burner’s here too, he grabbed a piece of my heart
I do wonder though, how soon will we part.

BamBam, and Powder, Maestro, what fun
And EbonyDragon; made me feel like someone.

Flaming Whiskers, Quiet Rage, and Philene too
Soon you’ll be everywhere, all will know you.

Sometimes, I sit back, sometimes I’m amazed
I wonder how so many have found their own ways.

Keeper of Faith, the cynicism is clear
But you haven’t left, so you’re happy here.

At moments I wonder what this all means
Then I find out in my Acid Dream’s.

Chaost’s, and Wiccin’s, Hindus too,
Witches and Christians all will like you.

We’ll huggle, we’ll pounce, we’ll hop thread to thread,
And when were all done, there’s smiles, then there’s bed.

I came here by luck, I was brought by my friend
And, I’m sure that like others, my journey will end

To the newbies, the ancient one’s and all in between,
Remember your true selves, don’t ever be mean.

In this wonderous place in this wonderous time
I’ve found that I really want to get on-line.

So, dear person, reach out and embrace us all,
I promise you this, we won’t let you fall.

Yes this is Darkforum, and well we all know it
Who’s me? Oh! I’m “water” (bearer), and I AM A POET!

cute

- thanks - it's pretty old - it was originally posted on my poetry thread ... waaaaaaayyyy... back when

::nods:: I remember reading that, before...

The only thing I'm afraid of, is that someone would be hurt if they weren't mentioned...

Other than that, I'd say go for it.

well - like I said - I could rewrite parts of it - to make it more current... or add to it, but who would really know?

Hey, thats cool! I like!

well we can ask people to come in and answer the following question "will you be resentful if you are misrepresented/not represented in this poem?" and then see how many hundred stanzas you have to add

*giggles*

I like it fine! just as it is ! just put the date you posted it with the entry. If I wasn't here when it was posted and we didn't know one another, why would I be upset.............. ........Ma!

Lovely.....You should post it!!

I think the idea is solid, now it can be modified to a community poem if we take the concept and have U pick like 3verses ~or what ever is agreeable by everyone~and have others each in the same context add their piece into it.

Hmmmmm, ponders that idea...........

well, that would be difficult, it's written in the style of Dr. Suess, if someone wants to add a suggestion, then I would be happy to make sure it fits, but the rhythym is key....

No hun I was thinkin we could all write a whole new one as a community

and I would love it if U manage and run it how U'd like to in the community poem thread and add Ure pieces whereever U see fit and as many of them as U like, make it Ures, that would be ma wish


thanx
