Posted: 1/30/2007 3:48:49 PM | I write
because I want to
I write
weither happy or blue
I write
Because the sun shines
I write
because words drift through my mind
I write
because love moves me
I write
my emtions for all to see
I write
because I can
I write
therefore I am
I write
when i feel sad
I write
when the weather is bad
I write
because my friends tempt me
I write
for only my eyes to see
I write
so all the world will know
I write
during deepest moon glow
I write
because I love my brother Ray
I write
because Im happy he and Dana got away
I write
because Tim and David make me smile
I write
because I have a while
I write
because Bobby likes a rhyme
I write
at the drop of a dime
I write
to share with all you here
I write
for friends i hold so dear
and some day
when I can write no more
I'll know I wrote
because that's what words are for. | |

Posted: 1/30/2007 4:07:41 PM | Some people write because they can
so much in sight that fits the plan
if but to say that life's a stream
where fishes play and people dream
No harbored ills as some proclaim
but ink that spills and shows them tame
to such extent they get the drift
where some are bent to steal their gift
The process clear and seen a mile
where some adhere to something vile
to make it look the fault not theirs
if that's a hook with truth it bears

Posted: 1/30/2007 4:56:09 PM | Thank you, Whyspr and Az David..Those two great writes reinforce my belief that
poetry rises over pettiness, and leaves us in awe of he authour..
Dandy poems; Both!!
This thread has made friends of many poets, and created a family of rhymers..
It will carry on despite the jealousy and attacks of those less talented, less kind, and less compassionate..    | |

I think that this thread caters to poets with talent: Not to those who show up with an axe to grind
Yes, people with axes to grind can be tiresome, especially when they carry those axes in lieu of getting on with their own lives. | |

Posted: 1/30/2007 5:33:56 PM | This is a poetry thread, Jerry..If you feel like bashing, start your own thread!!!
You, and your mean little spirit, made two exceptional poets leave here, in disgust..
For your information, my life is pretty well on track. I have a book in publication, and three poems that will be going world wide, this March..
I appreciate all your 'concern', but, I feel that it would serve a better interest if it was turned inward.
Please come back when you have figured out the Lego!! | |

Posted: 1/30/2007 5:38:12 PM | Communication... Articulation... Elevation....
---------------------------------------------------
Communicating with those in prose...
a historical practice for memorization
one thats used for contemplation
The reading on stone tabs for eyes to see
showing the value of lines to you and me
I spin some rhymes and scream and shout
and sometimes wonder what it's all about
to rant and rave and show emotions without clout
leaves me in a state of solemn stern doubt
my favor of you is to see me more clearly
of which I hope my fancy... is likely more dearly
the beauty of telling Juliet she is your muse
Is something the great ones never misuse
So sing your rhymes and keep with traditon
never allowing a repose from your mission.....

Posted: 1/30/2007 5:43:03 PM | Where else can you find a space
Where words come together
Gathered in one place
In a timeless energy
Our minds but ticking clocks
Of dusty books
And weathered rocks
The sun, the moon
Showering love not gloom
They greet each other with respect
Sharing the heavens without regret
We too share this planet of dreams
Winding roads and flowing streams
Stopping to leave our words behind
Practicing our faith by being kind. | |

Posted: 1/30/2007 6:08:51 PM | A simple rhyme is something seen...
thru eyes true blue or sweetest green...
into a mind and thru a heart....
upon these walls some show life torn apart..
some show love and venomous affection...
holding onto nothing more than the utmost perfection..
thru even somes tears....
they shed thunderous fears....
of heartfelt pain and blackened smears....
cascading colors of vibrant display...
words from loved ones seemingly sway....
so much life has been shown thru souls....
so much longing of what the world holds...
thru words of warmth and yet some so cold....
thru pain and sorrow , thru vibrance and bold.....
friends of plenty to hold well and true.....
thru eyes of temptating green, brown, hazel, or blue........

Posted: 1/30/2007 6:17:37 PM | Respect
by Bobby7
Respect is earned, it's never free
To have it is divine
Respect can lift our spirits
And withstand the test of time
No two people are alike
We all have different ways
Each poet seems to differ too
In the music their poem plays
Some, like me, will wite in rhyme
While others prefer prose
And some like words in Hiakus
I've never gotten those.
What I'm trying to say within this poem
Is that we like to share the word
Through the message that we pen, for all
In the hope it will be heard
We put a part of what we are
With every poem we write
To disrespect another's works
To me, does not seem right
We are judged by what we say
And by our actions, too
So, be careful of the rocks you throw
They can bounce back at you.. | |

Posted: 1/30/2007 6:50:08 PM | Re your 3095: Since you blocked me, after throwing some insults at me, I have no choice but to answer here:
I didn't start the feud with SagaciousSoul. He did by slamming someone else's poetry. I came to her defense and made some unflattering remarks about Sagacious.
My last poem on your thread (all threads here are by regulation open to everyone) was not bashing anyone. It was meant as a philosophical comment on why we or some of us write.
The mean-spiritedness was yours when you chose in response to make some childish remarks about me & that poem.
You're a lot better at carrying grudges than feeling or expressing gratitude, or have you forgotten that on CP I commented at your request on several of your poems? Or got in touch with someone here in town at your request. | |

That is the last thing I will say to you, sir..
Please allow me to get back to my poetry..Thank you...
I blocked you because of your habit of belittling others..I don't need it!! | |

Posted: 1/30/2007 7:48:50 PM | i wrote these words upon a wall
to be seen by me and maybe all
a story of my life unfolds
i seek to write what my heart holds.
words that are forced are merely words
rehearsed and meaningless bantering heard
only when you are not aware
can you find the honest meaning there.
seeking answers yet unspoken
in life the rules are often broken
waiting , silently for the clue
only then do we know what to do.
a silent scream from deep inside
tosses away the useless pride
until i recieve the answering call
i'll write my words upon this wall. | |

Posted: 1/30/2007 8:17:08 PM | Through Never-ending Love
To turn on a dime with poems that rhyme
kept tight the angles that are
to think of the night that filters the light
from off that distant star
This then is the aim in staking a claim
befits the man in the moon
who sits on his swing with lessons to bring
forever opportune
Beholding the eye that's raking the sky
intent on heaven above
not swayed as to lease that's speaking of peace
through never-ending love

Posted: 1/30/2007 9:02:34 PM | Hey Bobby, thanks for the "kudos"! First lines are fun to try to do, I hadn't done them before this. It is because of this thread that I started again after 13 years. I have never writen much before, this is new for me. I enjoy coming here to see what has been posted!!!
BTW, was that an error on page 124, post 3098? It wasn't mine unless you were commenting again.
Whyspr: It's fun to get a giggle or two or three out of someone! *grin*
Plant a Seed
It's the emotions that are the potions
to set the words to flow.
No matter the spark light or dark
like seeds they start to grow.
And each a gem written by them
can be a seed to more.
For those who read may find a seed
to create their own score.
It is this thread as I've said
back on page 85.
It's the poets in here I hold dear
and keep my pen alive.
So when in doubt what you write about
and worry who will read.
Just do the deed and proceed
to plant another seed!

Posted: 1/30/2007 9:12:50 PM | Yes, Az David..They (first line rhymes) are fun to do..They are also, in my opinon, one of the hardest forms to write..
To make the words rhyme, and not lose any of the poem's 'punch', has cost me about an inch of receding hairline a year..And, as you can see by my photo, I have written a few...
Both were great, David..My Favourite style..Thanks..Just watch the hair.. | |
|
| Poems That Rhyme, Please
Posted: 1/30/2007 9:50:36 PM | Oh Bobby please don't lose no more hair...
How will the rest fair?
I am new to this
but your poems I do not miss.
I enjoy them very much
"Poems That Rhyme" and such.
Sometimes hard and sometimes easy
I will leave it up to the Viking to be sleezy...(hehehe)
Keep up the good work
We all sometimes can be a jerk(no disrespect to anyone)
Hold on to your hair
An other poem if you dare...

Posted: 1/31/2007 12:13:39 AM | These words that I write
in the day and the night
those words in my head
going straight to "lead"
sometimes in haste
feeling no time to waste
are you sure that you've read
what exactly I've said | |

Posted: 1/31/2007 9:45:54 AM | Life-sustaining Love
When the urge appears you'll be tried to tears
for the pull that's oh so strong
that the body aches and the spirit breaks
to be told you've got it wrong
As the thinker knows it's a need that grows
and you're not to brush aside
for the self on hold grows a hundredfold
all that pain that's then applied
It's a sweet embrace that will light your face
when it's push that comes to shove
for the comfort zone of that act alone
is your life-sustaining love

Posted: 1/31/2007 8:22:04 PM | hey Bobby, posted in first line, last line today...
And leash me past the minotaur’s harm
and Medusa's snaky stare
past Siren's tempting voice
And Sapphos thighs laid bare
bring me to home these golden years
my faithful hound to greet my tread
to dry Penelope's lonely tears
and warm her in our marriage bed | |

Brizso..You little devil!! You have told me, many times, that you can't write in rhyme..
And then, you drop off brilliant works!!.. My, my..I think think that your rhyme fits right in..
How about a few more?? | |
|
| Poems That Rhyme, Please
Posted: 1/31/2007 9:07:51 PM | Rhyme challenges us to think
Deeper and deeper into syllables we sink
How to make it flow through a sequential sieve
And still keep the message clear we are trying to give
It is not an easy destination for me
My thoughts the undulating passion of the sea
Tempos of melodious verse
Sometimes a gift and others a curse
Yet as poets we often strive
To reach beyond our limits and thrive
It doesn’t make us any better than the rest
For me it’s my patience that’s put to test
I cannot send my thoughts free to fly
But you never know unless you try. | |
