I frequently write poetry about all sorts of things, and I finally got around to thinking about posting it here. So, here you go. Read it if you like it. Any feedback you want to give is cool. I'll mostly post my newer stuff as I write it, though I may throw in an old one from time to time. My style varies a lot, so there might be some you like and there will probably be some you won't like. Do you have a favorite poem that I wrote? Do you see something you like? Comment and tell me so I can make more like it. Since I knew I wouldn't be able to fit all of the poems nicely into the first post, I just post them in the thread on their own, even though I don't like double or triple posting. I feel bad about posting in a row so many times, but to make it easier for anyone who wants to read them, here is a guide to each poem. Simply click the arrow in the quote with the name of the poem you want to read, and swoosh! off you go.

It's basically a poem about a battle that takes place in "The Silmarillion". Title: Nirnaeth Arnoediad Poem: Horns of the Eldar Sound from the mountainside A lord leaps forward His wrathful vengeance nigh He breaks through the guard He comes to the gate He challenges the dark lord To come meet his fate From the hidden kingdom With banners unfurled There rides a mighty lord Who would challenge the world "Night yet passes The day has come! Fathers of men and elves Sound the drum!" Put on your helms, sound our horn At the fall of our lord a star is born Grab your swords and shields and spears Your people shall shed Unnumbered Tears Aure entuluva! Utulie'n aure! Aiya eldalie ar atanari Utulie'n aure! The king's passion aflame He charges into the fray He slays his enemies Through night and through day With great loss and sorrow His men begin to fall To be slain or taken And kept there enthralled The brothers do meet And in battle are gladdened Whether victory or defeat The two kings feel complete With new strength from the east Of elves and of men And valor not the least With their swords they defend Put on your helms, sound our horn At the fall of our lord a star is born Grab your swords and shields and spears Your people shall shed Unnumbered Tears Aure entuluva! Utulie'n aure! Aiya eldalie ar atanari Utulie'n aure! The dark lord trembles on his throne He empties his entire fortress So that the elves might contend With the greatest of his forces By the treachery of men The faithful are slain And the House of Feanor Finds dragons in its train Azaghal's great knife Drives the worm from the field But he falls and is slain Though his men do not yield The princes escape And the hidden king retreats And the faithful among men Are cut down like reeds Put on your helms, sound our horn At the fall of our lord a star is born Grab your swords and shields and spears Your people shall shed Unnumbered Tears Then the balrogs advance On the high king alone But his gaze is like ice And his will is as stone They cleave through his helm And they trod on his blood And the flames of his armor Blacken in the mud Aure entuluva! Day shall come again! Utulie'n aure! The day has come! Aiya eldalie ar atanari Behold, elves and men Utulie'n aure! The day has come!
Lol, I used to be good at writing poems maybe I should get back into the habit. Anyways all I can do know is come up with and write quotes and stuff like that.
Lol I've been thinking about putting up a thread to put my quotes and sayings in so others can see them. Many of them show up in my sig though.
Okay, this poem's a little different. It's a sort-of introspective piece, meant to be a letter to someone far away. Title: There's Nothing For Me Poem: I’d imagine a pair of hands Hands that could hold Or hands that could help Me break from this mold. I can’t seem to forget The day you had to stop Or the way your smile Lit my whole world up. I’m sitting here At the place we knew Where you left me And I came back to see you. But you’re not here. I’m trying to share my life And you know it’s true But the one worth having is The one where I’m with you. I can wait forever I’ll spend time until I’m poor. Maybe I’ll be courageous And try to step out my door. Despite the ways you may have Changed into new clothes I’ve been asking birds Because nobody knows I remember all the things you said. Every word you let Slip outside your lips: That’s not what I regret. And if you do not feel for me I know with every breath of air I’ll search for you anyway You’ve got to be somewhere. But you’re not here. I’m trying to share my life And you know it’s true But the one worth having is The one where I’m with you. I can wait forever I’ll spend time until I’m poor. Maybe I’ll be courageous And try to step out my door. I’ve felt you whisper Of towers and skies And you know I’d bend further To look into your eyes I can’t seem to replace You in my heart But I can’t take it all back And we can’t restart Maybe those words Were not meant for me If you’d check my heartbeat I’m sure you’d see I feel you all around me. I’m trying to share my life And you know it’s true But the one worth having is The one where I’m with you. I can wait forever I’ll spend time until I’m poor. Maybe I’ll be courageous And try to step out my door. I want to turn around my ring. I want to see you in your dress. If you’ve understood anything It’s probably that I’m a mess.
Here's something new for me; I've never written a poem about My Little Pony before. I hope this one turned out alright. Title: Friendship is Magic Poem: The library in Canterlot Always studying a lot Friends are always stopping by Can't party, don't have the time Tell the princess, had a vision Sent on some friend-making mission Taking my dragon along Somehow this is feeling wrong I don’t know how I’m going to make it through this Nightmare Moon stands in our way I’m really glad that I have made these friendships Looks like their magic’s here to stay Applejack and family More treats than I want to see Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy Conduct the birds and clear the sky Rarity is fashion savvy Pinkie Pie is party-happy These ponies cause such mayhem I only want this day to end I don’t know what we’ll do to make it through this Nightmare Moon stands in our way I’m really glad that I have made these friendships Looks like their magic’s here to stay Try to fight the manticore Steven Magnet near the shore Shadowbolts are such a hassle Finally we reach the castle Missing final element Nightmare Moon knows where we went She tries to smash the elements Repair them with our sentiments Laughter, Kindness, Loyalty, Honesty, Generosity Magic is the final one Forgive Luna, then we’re done I don’t know how we managed to make it through this The princess joins her sister today I’m really glad that I have made these friendships Looks like their magic’s here to stay
I rather enjoyed "There's Nothing For Me" the other two are good but that's the one that stood out for me.
Thank you very much! When I was writing it, I was kinda imagining some acoustic music to accompany it. It felt very laid back and relaxed, and at the same time it felt like a bit of an emotional roller-coaster. I plan on doing some similar poetry in the future.
Here's something else. I came up with a little tune that I hum when I read it, so I think of it as a song, but it's really just a poem. Title: Except You Poem: It’s a hot and sweaty day At the beginning of July And if I called you up today I wonder, would you mind? Because I may Call you up today. I wonder what you’d say? Well, I don’t know where you are I haven’t seen you walk around And ever since you left me here I haven’t heard a single sound And would you call me stupid If I said that I met cupid? He told me to stick with you. And now I see, I must believe I know you were meant for me. And now I feel, this must be real Without you this wound won’t heal. If only you knew that, this is true There’s nothing here for me but you. And if you ever get off track I’ll always take you back. I’m sure you’ve been around And even been with other guys After how it ended Honestly, it’s no surprise But if you remember our kiss It’s not the only thing I miss. And I’ve expected all of this. I know it’s hard to soldier on But don’t worry about the path It’s easy as two plus two Except I’ve never been good with math And like a country called Peru My thoughts always end with you. I’m trying to say I'm not going anywhere. Now can’t you see? Try to believe That you should belong with me. The way I feel, it’s so surreal But don’t break the things you steal. If you’re reading this, is it true? Do you still feel the way I do? If you do, then don’t you fear I’ll always be waiting here.
This one might be kinda short, but it's what I like in terms of flow and style. Title: Concrete Magicians Poem: You've understood upon a thread The skulls and castles in my bed Projector into outer space Searching for my happy place If I ever would, I could Engage the safety in my hood Rings and other jewelry Might as well be smoke to me Can't turn this bus upon a dime There's nothing wrong with feeling fine Bleed feel-good ink in my machine Wash your hands of being clean I am sleepless, understand what's mine If you're feeling courageous You know what's it's like to ask A stranger for their time Forget the favor promised then Lie in the sty; sleep in the pen First aid in a haunted house Rooting for the taller mouse Hatred breeds another world Intentions mean the milk has curdled There's static in my frequency But it belongs there like a family Light bulbs for shrugging shoulders Pushing worlds like minor boulders Means we're cutting trees and clearing All the silence we could be hearing When I'm sleepless, all my dreams can rhyme If we're acting outrageous You can clear my mind Of all these words we'll undermine
Title: Sum People Poem: Hiding behind many walls And inside television screens Searching, and pulling, and asking To update our ends and means I only want to be here Is this where you want to be? Sometimes we feel that we're controlled But that's what it's like to be free I'd like to be a star in your sky I'd love to slow dance in the rain I want to know things about you But first I want to know your name Can you play my game? Can you pull my strings? Again? Appropriate songs we could sing And forget the words halfway through But remember the things that we wanted And things that we'd never do In far away places they say There are even larger oceans But I think they might run together Just like all our emotions I'd love to be your flower boy I'd like you to teach me better words I want to show you the song I am And let you add your own verse Can you see my eyes When they're in my hands And my hands are here with you? Setting tables with silver plates It's not supposed to be like that But who made you king When they sent you up to bat? And there's nowhere closer to you Than the empty air between your arms Because you've worked for days And for other men without qualms I'd like to be your happy day I'd love to be your ray of sunshine I want to bring you to a place Where you can be all mine And maybe Given the chance We could strike up a conversation.
