Dedication and Quote

This blog is dedicated to all of the people in the world who love poetry. Poetry is a great way of giving words much more meaning. My favorite thing about writing poetry is being able to show feelings through a meaningful rhythm.

Poetry is a lesson of life through the eyes of the words.

The Waterfall (Shakespearean Sonnet)

The water slides off the Earth's edge
Entrapping creatures inside
Swimming away as they fall off the ledge
Seeing rocks as they fly by
The water tears up the ground
Eroding it all away
While the creatures come down
On this majestic day
They see the light to heaven
Coming down so tall,
You see that all seven
Were dead from their fall
They will never be seen again
But they will perhaps find a friend

Hot and Cold (Paradox)

Hot knows cold
They need each other in life
Without hot there is no cold
and without cold there is no hot
Hot and cold are opposites 
but still they attract

Into the night (Prepositional)

Into the night
Through the forest
Under the moonlight
Down the hill
Into a valley
Across the ocean 
Beyond the shadows
Toward the sky 
With the clouds
Above the trees
At the moon
Inside of a dream

Ode to my life (Ode)

My head aches, and I feel slightly dizzy,
Nervous, as I think about what's next,
Not sure what to do about the future,
Loss of hope as I stare blankly

I fall into a trance, looking all around,
as I think of all my life's agony,
So much distress, ready for a break,
The people around me seem so wide awake

While I'm still thinking, the world does not stop,
Always making mistakes, even though
I try to set things right, Try to get pass,
time and time again, but can't seem to grip

The answer far away,
Trying to listen, can't seem to pay attention,
Although I try, something always goes wrong,
Maybe in the end, something will go right  


Who I am (I am)

I am Intelligent and Bright 
I wonder how my future will turn out 
I hear the music in the air 
I see big plans ahead 
I want to someday bee successful 
I am Intelligent and Bright

I pretend to be the greatest person ever 
I feel that I will always make a mistake 
I touch the face of reality 
I worry about how I will get through life 
I cry when I just can't do something right 
I am Intelligent and Bright

I understand that I am not perfect 
I say one day I hope to achieve 
I dream that I won't mess up for once 
I try to do my best ,but seem to always fail 
I hope to have a nice life 
I am Intelligent and Bright

Sky (Tanka)

Floating Reflection
With giant fluffy, white clouds
Cruising through the sky
Bringing precipitation
Protecting Earth's existence

Trees (Cinquain)

Trees
Leafy bush
Swaying, Changing, Supporting
Trees have many benefits
Life

Day and Night (Diamante)

Day
Sunny, Bright
Playing, Sweating, Burning
Sun, Light, Darkness, Moon
Scaring, Setting, Sleeping
Black, Stars
Night

Flowers (Haiku)

Many bold colors
With abstract patterns on them
Smelling very nice

Underwater (Haiku)

 Colorful places
Where everything swims around
Riding the currents  

The Forest (Haiku)

Creatures all around
Plant life prospering throughout
Beneath tree shadows

Full Moon (Lyric Poem)

There was a howling in the air;
The whistling wind through the trees
Was like a lullaby all around
With the bright moon in the distance

His big eyes open wide
And breaths were big and loud
Ready to hunt in the night
For the wolf smelled something

It was a mouse in the distance
He scurried along on his way
When he came upon the beast
Very scared it squeaked

With his big white teeth
He chased the mouse to and fro
When finally it was done
And the mouse was no more
