Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I was starting to think no-one liked them! lol and Sabriel, i love your poem, for something you rustled up quick its ace! ^_^

thanks ^^ the others I did were better though. Yours was awes ^^ :D

memory
Memory Show me an hourglass And I’ll show you life’s time Flowing like water Washing over my mind Fade out old voices Toss them aside (I swirl in uncertainty – ebb and flow of life’s tide) And around all my pain Build a deadening wall As my heart breaks upon it The sand starts to fall Rose tint all sad partings Bright colour and hue (a pink wedding dress… and two shrouds made of blue) Come close, and stand with me As the sand trickles by My life’s all but over In the blink of your eye. <quite a personal poem for me and yes, back to the old familiar angst... though without cherry blossoms this time :lol: > Gem

brilliant poem, but why is everyone's so morbid - well most of them

Hey Lorkin <throws down the gauntlet> write us a happy poem! :lol: Seriously, as 'great' poetry <which mine is not!> often flows from powerful emotions so it often stems from pain & loss....there endeth the lesson :) ...but this poem is simply about how memories are changed by the passage of time... things look different when you look back on them and you tend to try and put painful memories away...when you think about it it's not really very 'angst' at all!! Gem

i think its very good Gem, i find it easier the write about sadness and stuff, more powerful than - happy lol i feel limited in what i can write and my vocabulary when i do a cheery one. Although the lovey ones ive done are ok and they mostly arn't that sad lol

fine then here is my best shot, it's called smiling - how sad is that Smiling is infectious you can catch it like the flu when someone smiled at me I started smiling too when I passed the corner someone saw my grin when he smiled I realized I passed it onto him I thought about that smile, and realized what its worth a single smile, just like mine could travel round the earth so if you feel a smile begin don't leave it undetected lets start an epidemic quick and get all the world infected

Lorkin, take a bow :D but please...let us do angst now and again... pretty please :lol: Gem

i never said you couldn't do morbid and angst poems i mean if everyone (anyone) did a happy poem it'd probably be boring.... i mean look at mine :)

There are things in life that are untold. Secrets that are unsaid. Pain is something felt alone. Do not burden others with such pain and grief. Why should others worry over things best left forgotten. Silence is the worst curse, yet the best gift

I really like your Smiling poem, it was rythmic, happy, and made me smile, so in a sense, you've started infecting Sweden as well.
