Regular poetry thread (because I'm tired of not editing my poems)
This is exactly what it sounds like! A thread to post poetry. I'm excited to read all of your work!

Cool, Bluebird! I just participated in NaPoWriMo, so I have a bunch of poems to share! Here's one, that I also posted on the Slam:
Explosions are beautiful.
The way millions of particles collide all at once and
Worlds are formed from pure
Dust. I live for the bang of crashing
Forces. Magnetic attraction to complete
Opposites. Two hearts suddenly welded into one
By the universe’s metalsmith. A slap in the face
And the burning feeling that comes after, not just
On the outside, but all the way through.
Time is only ephemeral. Everything else:
Eternal. A billion insignificant pieces
Can create one significant universe.
Everything they have to hold onto made
Or broken in a single bang. There is nothing
Possessing in everyday routine, nothing
Taking in regularity, no new
Sentiment to control us. No, only the complete
Overturning of all normality can be the creator
Of striking phenomena, of power for the
Powerless. Yes, it is true that
Explosions are beautiful.

I saw this one. It's amazing!! I love the imagery, and this line especially- a billion insignificant pieces/ can create one significant universe. Ahh, this is so good!

Yay, another poetry thread!
This one's really sad (not inspired by any personal tragedy), but anyways. . .

i'm sorry i--
i let you go too soon
when you fell, you--
you closed your eyes
it was too fast--
and i, i made up my mind
i fell too
and then we were starlight

I'd love some critique and/or title suggestions!

Hauntingly beautiful, September! How about 'And then we were starlight'? Or just Starlight, if the first is too long. And yours is amazing, too, Booksy!

*A Rainbow egg has appeared,
But if this seems a bit weird,
Go check the egg hunt thread
Now, with that said,
What year did the Beetles first come here?
(here means the USA)

Nice poem September! I made this one up just now!
WAITING FOR A STAR
I sit and stare,
You were there,
We had played,
Then you went away,
Two years after,
No more laughter,
Your to famous to see,
That it's hurting me,
That I am a still waiting,
Waiting for a star.
This is the longest poem I ever made!
