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!

I think

and

I am

Is correllation causation?

Trees are

But do they think?

This one was inspired by a line in one of September's poems- you are my sunshine/ when skies are blue/ the sun is always there/ and a prompt- write a love/hate poem. So... (wow, my poems contain a lot of mythology references!) I'm open to critique as always.

heliophile 

you

said, "i'll be your


sunshine"
and i replied,


"oh darling, but i live for rain"

 

the sky was blue on the day you gave me roses, even

though i'd said a

week before that

daisies were my favorite. you

don't get it, do you? I love

you in the way that humans

love the sun- i can't

live without you but

your ultraviolet rays make

me sick. My skin will

turn to parchment under

your touch and

when i finally escape

you, it'll be

too late. can

sunlight penetrate six feet of earth?

 

 

"i understand now why


Apollo had an ego and


Ra was a king."

Astounding! Not really any critiques here. I think it's great just like this.

So, the style of this poem is based on one that Mei did on her daily prompt thread. The actual content is based on the Shadow and Bone series.

 

Alina, Sun Summoner

Beautiful and pure

Come up from the shadows

Don't let the Darkling win

Everyone is counting on you

Forgetting you're still human

Getting worshipped must be so hard

How I wish you'd let me in

I know that I'm

Just a poor Otkazat’sya

Knowing what it feels to be

Lost

My sweet, I am become a blade for you*

Now please let me in

Or we may fall

Pushing through the bounds

Questioning the making

Ravka will fall

So will I

To the lost girl

Under the Fold

Vying for a better life

Why, oh why did you offer

Xenia to the boy of shadow

You wonder how the world will end

Zealously, the world will end

*not a grammatical mistake. This is an intentional quote from the book.

I LOVE these types of poems! They must be so hard to write, though! (one of these days I'm going to attempt a poem like this. Hopefully)

I just saw this poem right as I'm trying to check out an e-book of the first book! Small world! Has anyone here read Six of Crows?
