POETRY CLUB revival!
The original thread was down on page 3 as of now, and I considered reviving it. We did once, but it never stayed. So if we could make a new poetry club thread, I think it might catch people's attention. The original thread was created by Guess me if you want - who was never guessed - and now will be restarted here. Feel free to criticise kindly, share your own poems, and comment on others. For original Poetry Club people, feel free to share your past poems on here again. Let's try to keep this thread alive! To start off here is one I wrote recently while listening to jazz for the first time:
Yellowed Picture Frame
Swing to the beat
Classic sound in ears
Feet in sync
Watch in joy
As smiles light upon
The sweetest faces
Old and young alike
Step into the picture
One moment at a time
Join the world
Of jazz sounds and steps
Forget the worst, create new
Memories for years to come
Be swept away by joy
One movement at a time
Now let us return
To our world of reality
Outside the yellowed
Picture frame

Okay, here I go,
Birthday -by BunnyLoves
Birthday, birthday, small, bright and beautiful color, always there, always passing by, as the days flew by each day a kid or adult blows out a candle or two, there, as a kid blows out a lit candle and opens the presents, birthday,

I love it, Bunny!

I will attempt to make a rhyming poem.

Once there was a cat
It liked apple pie
But pie didn't like it
So it always wondered why.
And then it found a bird
And the bird flew away
So the cat chased it
But had nothing to say
And then a pie walked out
Into the sun
And the cat saw it
And started to run
The pie ran fast
But the cat sprinted, too
And soon both were covered
With thick, slimy glue
The glue was sticky
But so was the pie
The two counteracted
The cat was left to die
The pie dashed away
And then found the bird
And around the yard
Its screams were heard
The bird ate the pie
And then the cat
It ruled the world
The end of that.

That was awful. It was some kind of weird rhyming story with uneven verses. I should put more effort into my work.

Scylla that was brilliant! Don't be hard on yourself, in my opinion, rhyming poems are the hardest. You did an amazing job putting everything together into a somewhat morbid but perfect poem.
(August 14, 2016 - 12:44 pm)
Thank you for trying to find something good about my poem! I completely lost it at "morbid" and I'm still laughing. I shared it with one of my friends and we had this kind of sarcastic-yet-not-sardonic "battle" about it afterward. It was fun.

2. A free verse poem:
MIA
Missing in Action
She's gone.
Mia.
Mia's gone.
Her room is just like she left it.
She left no note.
She took nothing.
One day I was here,
The next day I was gone.
I was teleported
To another dimension.
Magic.
Teleportation:
Me.
Missing in Action

I know, it's really bad. I just wrote it on the spot.

Oi, Nat! You are what you say. If you say you are bad at poetry, you will be bad at poetry. So smile, say you are fabulous, and you will be.
NOT TO MENTION, your poem was fabulous, I loved it!

Yay! A new Poetry Club!
The Lone Wolf
The night is silent
The wind is still
A lone wolf howls
Atop a hill
Deep in the valley
The lone wolf prowls
He climbs a peak
And then he howls
His steps are quiet
They make no sound
He stalks the valley
While the moon's still round
He has no pack
He has no one
He is always
On the run
The night is silent
The wind is still
A lone wolf howls
Atop a hill

Wonderful, BumbleBuddy! Personally, I love that one being that it is about a wolf... my favorite animal. Great work!

Sorry. I just typed up a toooooooon of poetry to post on here, but then up popped a stupid malware alert which has been happening all day even though my dad checked it... it took about an hour to type all that, and it was perfect until I tried to preview it. Le-sigh. At least it wasn't poetry I came up with on the spot, it was from my journal. So I can retype it next Saturday 'cause I don't feel like it right now. But all the same,
Oh my ####.
