I really love the line /wandering because sleeplessness/ is a blessing and a curse when/. Also, /revelations and lightbulb moments/. That line sounds like it could be a title of another poem. This poem is short and still really good!

Wonder
Sometimes I wonder
If I'm true
Sometimes I wonder
If I'm well
Sometimes I wonder
If I'm real
Sometimes I wonder
If I wasn't made...
Sometimes I wonder
Element
The elements
Are like me
I like the elements
They are powerful
They are strong
They are dangerous!
They are good.

I know what you're going to say: extremely bad poetry!! Sorry it's so bad.

The first one was very good, I enjoyed the repetition. I don't see that very much and it's refreshing.

Thanks, both of you, for the advice! And September, I'm printing out those poetry prompts to work on later. My mom won't let me use the internet for anything except CB, oh well. But I'll use those!

First things first
Let me get you
To understand the thing
That makes you so
Mean
Cruel
Snobby
Except for everything
Second thing second
I'd like to tell you
What you're doing is
Wrong
Selfish
Insulting
And everything else
Third things third
I want to tell you
To stop being like that:
Unjustful
Accusing
A bully
Even though I know you won't

I wrote a song! I've never done this before so I wanted to try it. (I reused the title from another one of my poems) Tell me what you think!
Nightfall
(Verse 1)
You and me were waitin',
Waitin' for a meteor shower
That wasn't gonna happen
You and me, and a billion fireflies
You and me were talkin',
Talkin' about star signs and
Mystic horoscopes and cookie fortunes
Fading glowsticks lighting up the night
(Verse 2)
I've got the soul of a poet
And I see things through artistic eyes
My wings are metaphorical but
I have always loved the sky
Oh, darling you're a blazing crimson
Late-night sunset in July
Oh, the galaxies above us
Can't compare with your smile
(Chorus)
Find me where the sky meets the ground
I'll be wanderin' around
Trying to make sense of it all
I'm not sure I trust you enough
Won't let my guard down
Will you still be here when night falls?
(Verse 3)
I remember sayin',
Sayin' that a lot of things fall,
Like rain and stars and flower petals
Tides and shadows, and waterfalls, too
And while teardrops fall and
Every single day ends with the red sun setting
I won't admit that I am falling for you
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
If you are the day then I am the night
I am a haze while you are clear skies
Together we are darkness and together we are light
We are stars and we'll never die
(Chorus x2)

Very good Bluebird. I can actually picture the tune in my head. Thank you for having that be one of the first things in my day.
(June 4, 2017 - 11:55 am)
Love it, Bluebird! My favorite part is the chorus!
(June 4, 2017 - 6:50 pm)
I LOVE it! I actually just tried singing it to myself, and the rhythm is really good.
(June 5, 2017 - 2:50 pm)
Whoa, Bluebird, that's great! The rhythm is amazing. You're a genius!
(Random Fact: Did you know genius used to mean guardian spirit?)

This is a haiku I wrote off the top of my head.
There are times when I
Just can't believe that it's real
That I do exist
It doesn't really fit as a haiku, I think I need to work this idea into a full poem.
(June 7, 2017 - 4:06 pm)
Thank you, everyone!! And coyotedomino, that fact is really interesting!
(June 7, 2017 - 10:50 pm)
Bluebird, that is awesome. I love it.

Okay, finally I can post this. Yay Roman numerals!
I. The world was balanced, almost
Peaceful. Then you came....
II. You corroded the world's heart, you
Taught it cruelty then
Pushed it over into the void of despair.
III. Is the world so small that one person can tip it over into darkness?
IV. But then someone else came,
Pushing through the misty blackness. And
She was carrying a lantern
Lit by hope.
V. The world's so large but even one person can love it all.

I feel like this would be better as a longer poem, but I'm not that great at writing longer poems. Maybe sometime in a couple months or something I can look at it again and try and rewrite it.
