| Show me what ya got
Posted: 5/29/2005 5:58:18 AM | This is not a contest per say.
I was doing this with a fellow pof'r the other night, and I thought it would be fun to do here.
There will be one theme, once there is a submission for that theme the author gets to chose the next and so on
lets see what we can come up with!
I'll start with the first challenge given to me (sorry, double dipping here, i have this in This Is Me Stripped as well)
Love and Ashtrays.
Smoke swirling up, dancing through a dark room
Been sitting in the same spot since early afternoon
In front of this electronic box again.. does love really exist in there?
Some say it does, but I caution them "buyer beware"
You never know what sits on the other side of that line
They say they are incredible, heaven must have sent its divine
Chatting for hours, finding love at first "type"
Until this very moment, you never understood all the hype
Another cigarette burns in the ashtray, another "i love you" is sent
the hours pass with lightning speed, listening to your new "lovers" lament
A *hug* and a *kiss*, what the hell's gotten in to you?
You're now the person you used to poke fun at, now what do you do?
Light another cigarette, type till your fingers bleed
feeling this "love", believing all the bullsh*t that you read
Another hour passes, the ashtray overflows
Another day wasted as your internet love grows
Beware of the online relationship, it can be painfull at times
don't lose your common sense, because of a couple of cute rhymes
"love" was never like this, and this modern day line gets a little old
I'm physically closer to my ashtray, truth be told
how f*cked is that?
Ok, next theme..
Tanning Naked *grins* | |

Posted: 5/29/2005 6:24:09 AM | Tanning naked can be Fun
'specially if you're with someone
and parts of bodies shade the sun
Then you see the whiter places
That were covered by the faces
Ghostly handprints on the breast
fingertracks across the rest
White in fact where brown should be
Paleness shows the ecstacy
Of tanning naked with someone
When parts of bodies shield the sun
"Gristly Bits" is the next topic | |

Posted: 5/29/2005 1:44:17 PM | Love in Proportion
I met you and instantly i knew
you were the one i had waited for, I thought you felt that too
I bought you gifts, I sent you cards, I called you every day
You took the offerings, yawned on the phone never having much to say
Drawing hearts in the snow, making all of these plans
You said you wanted all of them too
But you were content staying home, converter in hand,
Just dont ask you to share your last brew
I would have climbed mountains, walked across the deserts hot sands
for i loved you with more then any other man
You would shrug off my commitment with complacency,
It didn't matter that I was your number one fan
When you spoke I hung on your every word, i was mesmerized
my heart would jump, my pulse would race, there was a certain gleem in my eyes
When i talked you listened to half of it maybe, like I was a radio with bad distortion
A hazard i suppose, something expected i'm sure, when you both do not love in proportion
Next Topic.. Buying In Bulk | |

Posted: 5/29/2005 2:51:34 PM | ok, if there are not takers for "buying in bulk" in the next couple of hours, default will be
"Freshly Fallen Snow" | |
|
| Buying In Bulk
Posted: 5/29/2005 2:57:25 PM | You'd think a Costco trip would suffice
You find jumbo sized pampers and huge blocks of ice
Pounds upon pounds of chicken and steak
And still find some clothes and one garden rake.
But keep it in mind when you're buying in bulk
'Tis not best to hide in the corners and skulk
For this is where the worst of the worst will appear
Where mild-mannered housewives are the creatures to fear
For the savings of one dollar or three
Add up to another shopping trip, you see
So even though most of this junk you don't need
You pay for it anyways, for you too have to feed.
Let's go with "Freshly Fallen Snow"  | |

Having one to share it with is something we all know
Dreams and thoughts of others as we look across this new white land
Believing we too will one day walk it hand in hand
Next "confusion" | |
|
| Confusion
Posted: 5/29/2005 4:49:25 PM | Was I here before, or was it all just a dream?
Is there clarity in my confusion, are things exactly as they seem?
Who is the person staring back in the mirror, who is that i see
an outline, a facade, a shell of who i used to be
Everything I read, the stories I hear has me a little dazed
Not sure what to believe, whats false, whats real, leaves me feeling a little crazed
The answers don't lie in any one book, experience, or coming of age
Why do some people cry, why do some laugh, why do some show such rage?
Its confusing at best, this thing we call life, and all of its twists and turns
Every insane moment, every lie, every smile, every bridge that you have burned
All teach you a lesson, shape who you are, help you come up with your own conclusion
At the end of the day, all you really know is, this life is still cloaked in confusion
rofl, ouch that was bunk
NEXT!!!! ok.. how bout... "Eyes" | |

| eyes
Posted: 5/29/2005 5:33:26 PM | I remember the colors cast cross the sky
from the rising sun now positioned so high
the atmosphere now crystal blue
I remember the times I spent with you
Greens, blacks, and creamy whites
fill my mind on the lonesomest nights
auburn hair as smooth as silk
carries me away wherever I will
Though time moves on and people to
I thank God above for having eyes for you | |

| Social Anxiety
Posted: 5/29/2005 8:31:31 PM | Consumed with social anxiety
Losing all of my sanity
Found myself in this poetry thread
Spinning verses within my head
The walls are closing in all around
Societal fears are keeping me bound
Faced with days of lunatic fringe
The screws have been pulled from the hinge
Paint the walls with a crimson hue
Oh my lord I think its deja vu
Did you hear that whispering voice
Leaving me with only one choice
To pass the next title to this thread
"The night the moon had turned blood red" | |

| The night the moon had turned blood red
Posted: 5/29/2005 8:43:34 PM | The morning came like all the rest
A strong heart beating in my chest
All was good my head was high
The day like the others just going by
Then something changed, what it was I don't know
I lost it all and watched it go
By dusk the damage had all been done the loss of a friend and another loved one.
Tonight the moon has turned blood red
My heart is broken, I feel I'm dead

| The night the moon had turned blood red
Posted: 5/29/2005 8:50:35 PM | Ok so i cheated an old one but on this subject
I can’t express the meaning of friendship in words alone.
Pride and pity had to be removed for truth to be shown
I can say many things, but the proof is in how I act
This will determine between what is fake and what is fact.
What does sorry mean if I just recklessly repeat it
What does commitment mean if I choose in the end to quit
It was self-pity that looked for your hand to pull me out
It was pride that pretended not to care and shed it's doubt.
I wept in shame as stubborn pride began to melt away
Realizing how I harmed many in my selfish display
Yet in my humbled state this day my dearest friends were there
I did not deserve any help but still received their care.
They could see something was wrong extending a tender heart
How blind could I have been not to see this love from the start?
Friends are earned by what we give not expecting a return
When all is lost a true friend freely gives as they discern
I thus commit myself to you a friendship without cost
Your heart may choose as it may without the feeling of loss
When the hard rain pours I will provide you a place to dry
Listening to your fears, giving my shoulder when you cry
Sharing in your laughter and comforting all your sorrow
My true friendship will be here with each passing tomorrow.

Behind the boat, the water churned, something hit the lure
Reel was screaming as it ran, massive to be sure
Sickle curve of purple tail, slices water clean
Diving deep, then turning back, as yet sight unseen
Harness on, bend the knees, ready for the power
Burst now as she broaches, water in a shower
First the bill emerges, head now coming through
Just a fragile, nylon line, connecting her to you
From it's size and bullish strength, know what you have seen
Of all the marlin in the sea, you have hooked the queen
Seems older than the very sky, as she fights for life
By the scars along her sides, shes seen lots of strife
Minutes pass like hours, trying to win line
Feeling that she merely plays, with you at this time
She came up beside the boat, to have a final look
See the line come free and clear, as her head she shook
She dances right behind the boat, high into the air
Too old and strong and good, and far beyond beyond compare
Little twist
But close enough | |

| little twist
Posted: 5/30/2005 3:16:47 AM | a boy of eight with nothing to lose
he found a stick he thought he could use
running home with it clenched in his fist
his ankle was injured with a little twist
crying out loud so his mother would hear
he fought off the pain, he fought it with tears
trying to stand, that poor little man
fell into the sorrow of his deepest fears
the night is coming with its spooky sounds
this boy now knows just what he has found
a life experience he will never miss
the day he was defeated by a little twist | |
