    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

    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

  • Kimberley

    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

    Okay it looks like since A Phine To Sour Skittles and Sara xNiteoxLamiax are the only ones to enter their poems in that they automatically make it to the next round!!! congrats! okay for the last one all you have to do is wright a poem about a past experience of yours. Whether it be an old lover who hurt you and you got over or the first time you learnt how to ride your bike and you kept falling but finally did it. 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!!!

  • xLeftxBehindx

    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
