Chatterbox: Inkwell

Here's a thread

Here's a thread for people to post poetry on. :D

I'll start it off with an improvisation. (THat means I've written it on the spot.)

 

**** 

Welcome to this thread my friend

Welcome one and all

I hope you'll find good writing here

I'm sure that you certainly will

 

For all we Chatterboxers

Are writers most of us

And if you're a poet

THen you should know it

 

So try your hand

At writing a poem

Freeverse or sonnets

Does it matter?

 

Welcome to this thread

Welcome one and all

My poem here must come to end

I hope we'll have a ball.

The last verse is rhyming.... couldn't help it. :-/ lol.

:D Let the writing begin!

(The above poetry was written on the spot, in three minutes, by yours truly. I apologize for any roughness or uncorrect formatting.)

Ooh, good idea, Jenni!

HIDDEN

Up in the sky

Of elegant blue

Are thousands of stars

Hidden from you.

LAST PLACE YOU LOOK

You always find it

The last place you look;

If it's a mirror,

Or if it's a book.

Maybe it was under your pillow

Or in your pocket,

Or even in your hand;

It's always the last place you look.

 

And now I shall leave you.  :D
P.S. my anti-spam thingiwe is nxxt.  It wants more people to submit their poems!  Ya!  Poems! Yaa!

TOP!!!!  I will write a random poem right now because this is a poem thread:

LAND OF BLUE-GREEN FLOWERS

The land of blue green flowers

Has turquoise trees' in the sky

Silhouetted against the 

Dark pink prairie that had 

Been painted by a two-year old.

The streams of a muddy brown

The rain a darkish blue

Crayons flowing against the paper

To make a hot red sun

Drawn by a two-year old.

Such imagination, does the

Small eye see;

A purple frog

With orange and golden stripes

Is hopping through the tan clouds.

Ok, so Luna wanted to write a poem with me.  (Luna is my sister)  So, I write the first line, she writes the next line; me, her, me, her...  She insists that we write a poem about poop...  

POOPY

Poop is brown

Poop is in your body

The stuff in the food that you don;t nead comes out as poop

poop poop

Lovely poop; you nead to poop to live

poop pee

~~~~~

So now for a poem I wrote my self:

There was a time

Where the sun had not been;

It's light was once none,

It might happen again.

 

There is a time

Where the sun will not be;

it's light will be gone,

The darkness then free.

 

There might be a time

To light Earth some more;

If it does, it will

Happen like before.
