congrats and your next ,let's call it assignment, is that you have to write a poem under these catagories. To make it a little harder I want you to make it into four or five stanzas and the last line on every stanza has to have the same rhyme! Two people per catagorie.

Goodbye
Love
Pain
Dreams

the poem has to be in by April 11th but if all the poems are in before then, I will make the cut then. The last two people in the contest will be posted here on April 11th (or sooner depending on when all the poems get in) with your next assignment. Good luck to all of you! (one poem per person!)

Goodbye

Brown eyes shine,
please look my way.
Smooth in moves,
sensitive and kind.

Hello lasted forever,
not long enough.
Forever was a month,
neverending hours.

Tears of pain spring,
flood like a monsoon.
Never said goodbye,
wanted to say hello.

You walk on past,
eyes fading away.
Never meeting,
goodbye forever.

Whisper

Whisper those words I long to hear,
Let me know you'll always be near.
Keep me within your thoughts and prayers,
Let me know how much you care.

Whisper all that you want to say,
However you want to, in any way.
Say that I am the key to your door,
And that you couldn't ask for more.

Whisper our song in the darkness of night,
For you will be my true shining light.
You'll always be in my heart and mind,
Our love forever will be refined.

The Real Thing

My screams fill the bitter cold air,
For I do not know if I can ever bear,
This tragedy that has suddenly arrived,
Before my scared and petrified eyes.

I hope he will continue to fight
I'm praying that he will be alright,
I don't know if there's any hope,
How could death lie so very close?

I stay with him till help finally comes,
And by then I am completely numb,
With coldness, dread, and tons of fear,
As I silently start to cry some tears.

Why does it have to end like this,
Where there is no peace or any bliss,
I just wish this was all a dream,
But I know it's the real thing.

Goodbye

The word still hangs
Lifeless
Void of any color
Shape or substance
Just an echo
A passing thought
as you turn away

Did I not love you strong enough
Long enough
Did you doubt sincerity
For I know those words
I said them over and over
I love you

But still
As you walk away
A wisp of hair
on your collar
A wrenching reminder

And as the distance
grows between us, I wait
Hoping
Praying
That you care enough to turn
To see me one more time
See my tears
That they may move you
Pull you back to me

But you have walked so far
Not once turning around
Not seeing these tears
Unmoved

Now...
Not even an echo of your words
It truly is...

Goodbye

Here's my first

Goodbye:

BFF no longer-

You and I were a pair, two peas in a pod
Best friends forever, doing things weird and odd
Hanging out day after day
Nothing could make our relationship gray

Well that no longer was the deal
After a while I understand how you feel
We moved to another grade and grew
There wasn't a me and you

You had your other friends and we grew apart
I would have stopped if I were smart
But I tried to get you back and be your friend once more
All you did was ignore me and show me to the door

It's been awhile since we have had a chat
No ones at fault, it's not that
We just grew and have changed for the better
I didn't make the cut, I knew when you threw out my letter

I understand now that our friendship won't last
That relationship is in the past
All we can do is move forward and ask, why?
So in all this is my way of saying goodbye

This is my other

Depression or pain:

Happy?

I have a smile on my face
I land every step I take with happy grace
I look happy to the bone
Not a single sad or evil thing is shown

The colors I have on, orange and pink
Every sentence started always ends in a wink
I ace every test in school, honors and all
You'd never think I have ever taken a fall

You see me as a happy-go-lucky girl
All preppy and happy as I twirl
Down the street I skip
Holding my cute hair up with a clip

You wouldn't ever think I would be sad
Never would you think I could think bad
But you never see me at home
You never see me after dark when I roam

Sometimes people wear a mask
No one ever thinks to ask
If they are really OK or are just putting on an act
They always think if someone is smiling, happy is a fact

The mask is part of my everyday life
I always think of my future, would I be happy, like man and wife?
All I need to do is get away from the pain I feel
The people that do it, some friend they are, that's the deal

I can't wait until I am old enough
I will be able to leave when the stuff gets rough
When I am older, get a job, live my life
So I really can be happy like man and wife

Can it be old or do you want new?

Lovers and Liars- (Love)

They say you have to kiss a few frogs before you find your prince
Took so long to find that I thought he didn't exist, wasn't convinced
But babe seems you got me believing once again in a fairytale
Love shown each and everyday is proving maybe this time it will prevail

Always been quick to fall in the past, giving into dangerous desire
Then realizing I'd only found Mr cheater, Mr Wrong and Mr liar
Only this time it feels so different, thinking I've found Mr right
A once broken and shattered heart you've caused to ignite

Tried so hard to fight how I felt, all of those growing feelings
Only now I'm feeling sure, this is one love that's so appealing
Caring, gentle, kind, affectionate...finally found my lover
Never would have guessed I had so much to learn and discover

Always fell for the bad guy, proceeded without hesitation
Each and every time, heartbreak was my only destination
This time feeling so safe and loved, yearning for your touch
Never would have guessed it possible for me to love so much

Only been a short time, but I'd be bereft without you in my life
Would be trying to live, but already know I would only survive
Days would be long, nights so empty, leaving me cold and frozen
I'd finally truly understand the meaning of being heart broken

They say you have to kiss a few frogs before you find your prince
Took so long to find that I thought he didn't exist, wasn't convinced
But babe seems you got me believing me once again in a fairytale
Love shown each and everyday is proving maybe this time it will prevail

I will take dreams but is it like dreams in sleep or dreams like goals?

and is it every last line of each stanza has to rhyme?

thx again

-Sara

Goals, sleep it's up to you. Not every line but the last one in each stanza. example:

you said forever
but that felt like never
i knew it wouldn't last

take back your lies
and my tear filled eyes
cause now it's all in the past

the sweet wirds, gone
soft caresses, moved on
along with the shadow you cast

Ok I have a different poem

xJust Breathex

Some get in to messes and others get an education
Many things can go right or wrong to their foundation
Parents don't care and you just broke up with Matt

Seeming that you can't get anything right
Having an F on the test, flames inside are going to ignite
Your friends don't seem to care, as you stray with no chat

It may not seem like the best thing at the time
The hole you have dug, there is away to climb
It may not seem like an easy way out and could be tight just don't stay where your at

You know you have dreams that you can never forget
Reach for those goals and stay out of the net
Life is difficult, keep your dreams strong, don't come out flat

Have faith in your belief and stay tall
The problem may be big but take a day at a time, your not small
Don't get discouraged and just breathe, life may not be lucky but your not the black cat

-Sara

It has to be something that was hard at the time but you got over. I'll post the winner on April 20th. good luck!!!

Ok A Phine to Sour Skittles had an awesome poem I don't know if I can't beat it but here is mine xD

xNot here x Not therex

Alone can be peaceful or a dreadful pain
For a child this is not a peaceful gain
You need comfort and nourishment at a young age
At home alone is like trapped in a cage

Nowhere to go and no one for comfort
This is no way to leave a child with no support
Leaving me alone for longer than an hour
As the counter stood over me like a tower

Waking up from my afternoon nap
You were gone and not to be found in a snap
I need you here and I needed you now
Climbing on the counters was never to allow

I know not to break rules but this feeling inside grew
I took the giant chair and pushed it with strength that was new
Climbing on that chair to get to the phone was hard
A new thought came and it through me off guard

Which numbers were what and what numbers were who?
Feeling brave I looked through the notebook at age two!
Not knowing how to dial or when to talk
I felt I was watched like a hawk

Turning smoothly around to face the hawk
Following the feet on the ground that walk
I was ecstatic to see what I saw and wanted nothing more
My journey to call you was over as you walked through that door

I didn't need to call or worry any more
I leaped to the ground and fell on the floor
You picked me up, hugged me tight and kept me calm
I cried in your arms for the fright I felt but you were there now, you, my mom
