Poetry Contests.

They haunt me still these ancient dreams
Of heroes bold and fair,
Nightmares of battles and long gone scenes,
My sleep their hidden lair.
Yet when I wake they haunt me still,
Tugging my thoughts and bending my will.
Yet I know they are only dreams.

First off, thank you CTR for the compliment. Second, I'd love to put a poem up for the theme, but sadly I don't have any poem with me at all within a 500 mile radius, so It'd be awhile for me to post something. Once again, thanks for this honor and I hope my next poem is just as well.

 

hmm... just a quick question: does it have to be about ending school? or can it be about anything that's ended? >>

 

The theme is endings, so it can be about anything.

 

hmm... okay... thanks :D

 

Congratulations Knight, well done.

 

Okay, I called my friend's girlfriend, and she sent me all of my poems that mention ends, so after an hour of deciding, this is the one I've chosen.

The End​

This is the end
You've had enough
No one said this
Wouldn't be tough

It took awhile
For this to sink in
What was now
Is now then

I wondered what happened
And if you even know
But now its time to part
For new love to grow

But we will still be friends
Like we said before
The more you say you're sorry
I miss you even more

I wish we could go back
And fix whatever went wrong
But no matter what happens
My feelings are still strong

Well this is the end
Time for a new start
My mind is clear
But not my heart

 

Clever idea hide the word in a poem I like it anyway my poem this is probably my best one yet and its another improvisation I should start just writing poetry I like poetry

The End
Endings are bad yet endings are good.
You end one thing it means you can begin another.
Endings are new things waiting to happen.
End a good book begin a brilliant book
End a snack begin a banquet.
Endings begin so many new things but it doesn't aways work out.
After you end the brilliant book you may begin a rubbish book.
After your banquet you may have to run to the loo and wish you'd never eaten the snack.
Endings are good and bad all in one.
Yet still when it comes we can all cry out happily.
"The End."​

 

School Days/Too The Future

By my watch, time's up,
End of an era, end of the day,
Time to pack up and hit the hay,
Going too rest for weeks too come,
Though it's Summer's work for some,

In September, I won't have anywhere to go,
I'll still be here, head, down on my pillow,
Bored of life without my school,
My friends I made there, friends who stayed there,
Like a river through my mind, the memories flow back,
My first kiss with her and than lucky Jack, ha

Thanks to the smiles they would send,
I'll remember it all, till the very end.​

 

Congrats KnightReaper!
Here's my poem this time

I see

I see the end of the tunnel
I see the knife run through
I see my life's begining
I see my end and you

I see the train rush closer
I see the man who knew
I see his life's begining
I see my end and you

I see the men's swords
I see the things that they'll do
I see your life's begining
I see my end and you

I saw the end of the tunnel
I saw the knife run through
I saw the train rush closer
I saw the man who knew
I saw the men's swords
I saw the things that they'll do

And only now I see
That the man that knew
(Though it breaks my heart to say so)
That the man was you​

 

WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can I change mine?

Endings, you think they’re bad
Not all endings are sad
Devistated for something to end is a lie
In fact, an ending is a new beginning sometimes
Never under estimate the happiness of an end
Give hope to the world, and the end will be your friend

Ever wondered If its bad
Never coping with something shouldn’t make you mad
Dreading an end, you shouldn’t be sad

The end is here, don’t have fear.

BTW-did you notice how the firstletters of each line (except the last one) all spelt ENDING and END

 

i have never submitted one of my poems in a contest before... is this okay?

Lost tears roll down my cheek
And my heart is filled with sorrow
This pain... is it reality
Or is this an illusion that traps me in tomorrow?

You said love is an adventure
Each new day is part of the plot
But now you've left me stranded
With only the chains in which I'm caught

I believed you when you filled my head with lies
And I trusted that we would be together
Why did you leave me here on Earth...
When you reside in Heaven forever?

I want to be able to forgive you
Dying was not your fault
But why can't I let you go...
Is this the end to us all?

 

The ending won't change

The rain keeps falling
On this tattered window
I do nothing but stare out,
Waiting for change.
The clouds move quickly
But never dissipate.
You could try to catch a glimpse of sun
But you know we're past 'too late.'
My tears keep trickling down
This pale and tired face.
My heart can't handle anymore,
Still I long for everything to go back into place
Is this really the end?

 

It is the end of the line, I'm afraid, my dear
but do not worry, you have nothing to fear
for nothing will hurts us, as long as we are here,
but I can feel that the end is slowly drawing near
creeping, crawling, slithering through the night
oh, how horrid, it gives one a great fright
but if we stay together, if we stay right here,
than hopefully the end will dissappear.​

I know it's short, but it's the best I can do.

Congrats Amethyst! Um quick question CtR, I'm on the southern hemisphere, so its winter now. Can I write a poem about winter instead of summer because wintr is all i have on my mind lately.

 

We already had one about winter a couple of months back love, hmm I'm going to change it to seasons in general.

Is that better?​

 

here is a poem im just writing off the top of my head

Seasons cross over our beautiful earth
as waves roll and leaves fly
we come together for now and forever
hearts in flight and souls in air
our lives all stop and relize
seasons bring beauty and nature brings us
lying on the ground looking at the sky
with others in the clouds looking over earth
seasons, only god can see.
nature, only we can help
earth, with winds that help every thing else


{vindicated}​

 

Thats ok. Thanks!

Hang on, wasn't one of your topics already seasons? meh. here's mine:

Missing Summer

The wind flows through the air
And suddenly, I’m full of despair
About the trees turning bare
Will summer come again?

The snow falls on the land
As I walk through the icy sand
I snap my elastic band
Summer was so grand

Winter has started, but how?
Because my dad’s starting up the plough
My dog ends his howl
And I want summer back NOW!

And as I lay
In my bed today
I hope and pray
Can I have summer back
For just…
One…
Day???



NB: Just so people know, when you have a negative thought you’re supposed to snap an elastic band on your wrist.
