Quick Contest.

CLOSED

Good contest! I don't do funny well....here is one of my few attempts....

A Man Cure?

Passing by a manicure shop
My daughter and I decided to stop
For missing an "i" the sign read
Man cure, "Let's go", I said.

"There is no cure", she replied to me
They live in a state of "man"tasy
And for all their lies and ruses
Are a million and one "man"scuses.

"Man"tasy football grabs their minds
A real "good" one is hard to find
"Man"crastinating their days away
They'd rather see the Buckeyes play.

Ro"man"tic is a real misnomer
They'd rather watch Bonds hit another homer.
My questions all get a "man"swer it seems
I've given up finding the one of my dreams

"Just "man"tastic" I said with a sigh
"There is no cure, that sign's a lie."

So basically an anything goes contest?

Yes the poem can be about anything, just so long as it's one you think you could have done better on :)

Loving

Love me through till morning,
Hold me deep inside,
My head upon your beating heart,
Tells me not to hide.

You've lulled me into happiness,
Now love is all I see,
Pain is something in the past,
Of which now I'm free.

Nothing here can harm me,
You are all I need,
Shutting out the prying world,
So our souls may feed.

Okay!! I could have done A LOT better on this one >_< here goes:

Who Knew?
by ShinoInDisguisexXxHatori

I peer upon the silver moon,
The clouds so gracefully loom.
Wondering if you're staring,
At the same glowing light as I.

The endless hours drag on and on,
And my eyes look to the ground.
Of course he wouldn't be watching,
Why would I think that again?

It takes all of my remaining might,
To keep those sorrowful tears away.
But the will to smile is not enough,
And the clears drops fall upon your picture.

A yell of terror and fear echos,
As your picture falls to the ground.
Who knew that love like this,
Could only hurt you in the end?

So sick of tears and pain,
Your smile is burned into my mind.
So sick of wanting your warm touch,
Upon these cold, shaking hands.

The knife is stained, red and broken,
Lying frozen in the bitter ice.
The glint of a street light down the road,
Reflects off of the freshly carved name.

Pouring from the gashes,
And mixing with my tears.
My blood is a true reminder,
Of the suffering and sorrow.

Seven letters long with only one meaning,
The meaning of love and a life of longing.
I bet that you're happy in your world,
Built on words and the hope of fantasy.

I collapse upon that crystal ice,
As it shatters like my heart.
Drowning and in pain, I cry,
"Who knew love like this,
Could only hurt you in the end?"

Cry myself to sleep

by NyellMoonlight

Alone in my bed, voices in the head
Whispers: "Give it up, you won't make it,
You had a chance, you didn't take it"
"Leave me alone" I scream
but they are here even when I dream,
"Go away" I try to plead
But that's the already lost battle I lead.
There's no salvation, no shelter for me
Cause the darkness is everything I see.
Feeling weight of the world, as I cry
torn apart, just wanna die.

My older piece... I've never loved it too much :(

If you look at my palindromes 'Topaz coloured water' and 'Cerulean tinged waves', this is was a shocking attempt! lol

Xx Snow - Palindrome xX

Snow
Gently falling
Glittering jewels
Floating softly, beautifully waltzing
Gracefully and elegantly
Lightly flickering sparkles
Beautiful yet cold
Flakes

-Mirror Image-

Flakes
Cold yet beautiful
Sparkles flickering lightly
Elegantly and gracefully
Waltzing beautifully, softly floating
Jewels glittering
Falling gently
Snow

Palindrome - Also Known as Mirrored Poetry. A palindrome, by definition, is a word, phrase, verse, sentence, or even poem that reads the same forward or backward. The carefully placed words form the same sentence, whether it is read forward or backward. For example, 'Mirrored images reflect images mirrored' which includes a word in the centre as a reversal point for the sentence or even the poem.

I personally hate this poem, i just needed to get it off my chest so i wrote it while i was out to dinner with my husbands family, i got so bored i sat there typing it into my phone. so here it is.

So many tears

by Nikki

So many tears always fill up behind my eyes
Hiding the fact that I always want to cry
To let out my anger, get rid of my pain
Help me get through life before I go insane

I want to cry about always self harming myself
But it makes me feel better more than anything else
I hate that it doesnt hurt me anymore at all
The razor blade waiting for my next down fall

I hate that I am always feeling so depressed
It always makes me feel like I am being suppressed
But it never goes away, it just eats at my mind
Waiting for me to stuff up, and for my life to unwind

I cannot eat, no matter what I have tried
This disorder I have is eating me alive
I am starving myself, always have a frown
My doctors said my muscles will shut down

I also have low self esteem, I know I am ugly
I wish I could look good, all pretty and bubbly
I just once want to feel good about being me
But when I look into the mirror, ugliness is what I see

On top of all that, I have obsessive compulsive disorder
Do you think it would hurt if I planned my own murder?
You might not believe that one person could have all this
And believe me I have them, my life has gone amiss

The tears that I always cry, never ever stay away
I am not writing this to put my life on display
I am merely telling the truth to get it of my chest
Having so many tears, is some thing I know best

this poem is true, this is about all the thing i have been diagnosed with and there what i have been trying to deal with for a long time, i know it seems a little to much things for someone to have but trust me, i have them all, thats why i wrote about them. it was just to much to deal with and i had to get it of my chest.

A great idea to reflect back on what we think about our poems really :D

To love someone is to think of nobody else,
to have the power to cry of joy,
how on earth can you explain how you feel,
when you are held by your baby boy.

you do crazy things that you cant explain,
you enjoy each second you share,
nobody can make you half as happy,
as when your baby boy is there.

lol.... Shame
