I think I may have posted this one in another thread.
Boys
Boys will be boys
What a very true phrase
Yes, boys will be boys
I'm oft quite amazed
They don't mind their messes
They're often quite loud
You'll find them fighting
Because they're quite proud
Half the time sweating
They really like bugs
And spend time collecting
What's oh! just disgusting
They seem never to be ill
If they were
Wouldn't show it
They seem never to cry
If they do
They must hide it
They're always boasting
Of broken bones
And flexing muscles
By picking up stones
The minute the drop one
Upon their big toe
They're babies to boot
And awfully slow
They refuse to take baths
Without a great fight
They'd rather be dirty
They'd rather be right
Boys will be boys
They're made that way
It's built in their system
That's easy to say

Boyish boys grow up to be manly men. Generally speaking.

lol I like it boys will be boys... lol
Here's a really short one I wrote... it's kinda simple I'm not sure what I think.
Truth and Love
I want to speak the truth in love,
To shout it out to the world
But to do this I am afraid
Why be afraid of truth?
Here's one more
Four season’s rounds
The plant life in spring so beautiful,
Everything opens up and blooms
Why can’t this beauty- so transient stay?
Summer comes ‘round, plants in full bloom
Heat oppressing, but the tree’s shade cools
The life born is spring is living- living now
The sun’s burn dulls, a cool breeze blows
The leaves change, beautiful before returning…
Returning to the earth and fall leaves barren trees
A cold bite returns to the air, plants barren die
But a white blanket covers the ground- a new beauty
And the life prepares for rebirth

I like it whisper. short and sweet yet a complete idea.
I wrote this poem in second grade and I think it's really good... for second grade lol since we are haveing season poetry
Fall is quickly blowing through,
Bright reds and yellows too,
Orange coming swiftly by
WIndy nights with dark sky

Wow, there are some very talented people in this thread. Well done all. :) I'll go through some of my poems and maybe share one.

Checkmate
manipulation
the family curse
could it be worse
than this sinking sensation
the knowledge that I am a pawn—
in the hands
of a ruthless chess master,
i’m the cause of disaster
i throw up my hands and cry out in anguish
i can see no way out, no way to stop this
and deep inside
i can see the roots growing
the curse i despise has infected me, making me
eerily similar to all that I hate
i lie, i mislead
i manipulate
how did this happen?
i silently ask
why did i stumble
when i promised myself
that i wouldn’t fall prey, that i wouldn’t need help
my questions only echo too loudly
in the halls of my soul
my mind is so cloudy
i’m frozen in fear, for i must not become
everything that i hate—
it’d be their checkmate.
not the best poem in the world, but it reflects something i have been fighting lately.

The long road back
Climbing, running up the hill
striving, striving, trying still
Pressing, nearing, onward I come
then falling, falling backward I dropped
Tumbling, rolling, sliding I fell
gravity tugging, momentum as well
Gradually, slowly I came to a stop
rising and stretching I looked my way up
Towering, rising, frowning in stare
the mighty hill, it did stood there
Clouded, obscured by the midst above
standing, clenching white knuckled fist
Seeing the progress I had indeed missed
back to square on, down to the bottom
Starting again I rose and I followed
the trail so often covered in grime
A slipping, a falling, a passing of time
each arduous step slashed through my being
The shadows of fear were slowly appearing
forgetting, focusing, pressing ahead
Each apprehension will soon fall dead
far I did rise before I fell
But farther, still farther, will I rise now

"The Lasting Beauty of Friendship" (c)
A friendship tender and newly sprung
Is but a bud, later a blossom
Which is forever abloom.
Winter's harsh cold,
Summers sun-arounsed heat
Makes not her blossom bitter,
But all the more sweet.
Days wilt not her beauty
So long as the two are equal,
Lest they break.
Two heads upon one stem.
Storms tear not her petals,
Rather they bring more.
As upon her His water he rains,
The Gardner's gentle face
Is a reflection of the Immortal's love
And His everlasting grace.
The rose dies not with aging time,
But due to the Gardner's attentive care,
Is held in the beauty of her lasting prime.
I'm no expert, that's certain.

Those of you that read my xanga might have already seen this, but I'll post it here, too. This is a poem I wrote yesterday.
I'll never fly high enough
My wings touch the clouds
But it's too low
Everytime I try so hard
Every time I fly
But not enough
Trapped inside my own standards
No altitude will suffice
I want
I desire
I need more
Someone tells me I can't live like this
But I've managed so far
I may soar so gracefully
Through the deep sky
But in my eyes I'll always be
Stuck on the ground
_____________________________
And I'm still fighting for the word
To break these chains
Can I still pray when I look in your eyes
Stare right back down
Into something beautiful

quote:
Painterchick- it's funny, that poem resonated with me, I think, moreso than a lot of poems- simply because I love chess but I'm horrible at it . I start to dread losing, not because I lose, but because I don't want the other smug and arrogant person to win . So avoiding "their checkmate" would be something I was very interested in. Funny how me being bitter made that poem really click with me .
lol. you never know. that analogy kinda developed when the poem was mostly written...and i was like "that makes it so much better" lol. i'm glad you liked it.
Gil--that poem, My Book--you never showed me that! that is really good! i told you you have talent. i was just thinking about that yesterday, how i wish i could see the end of my life, how i wish i could see who i would marry, what would happen to me next. Of course i might run screaming if i knew all the stuff that was gonna happen to me, too.

okay, this isn't the usual fare for these kinds of threads... but. I was going through my journal that I've just decided to put to rest and reading some of the entries. and this one struck me as really funny. sometimes I tend to write about events in my life like I'm writing a story or telling someone else about it, so it was like this. it may not be as funny as I think, or as funny to someone who doesn't know a brief history of my life (lol) but I was laughing pretty hard tonight.
"So I'm downtown with Katie today. It's cold, so we drop into Ellen's. And we're sitting there, sipping our chai (me) and hot cocoa (Kate) and in walks... Kirk. [first name omitted to protect the ... idiots.] Ugh. The dumbest jerk I know. And I know a lot of dumb jerks. With him is none other than Travis, dumb jerk #2.
And I'm sitting there going "ohcrudohcrudohcrudohcrud." yeah.
So they order, then they're standing there waiting and Kirk turns around... and sees me. I happen to glance up at this precise moment (dang...) and unfortunately, there is eye contact. If I were an expletive-using kind of girl, this is where the expletive would be.
It was excruciating. I had to introduce Kate, who has grown up with wonderful guys, to two alcoholic Baptist boys. And I had to introduce the slobbering high-school-girl-dating idiots to my gorgeous friend. Excrutiating.
Kirk asked me if I had a boyfriend "yet". "I know none of us were never good enough for you."
Um, excuse me? As if I, a 14 year old, would date an 18 year old. If any of his crowd had ever asked me (which they didn't; they just bugged me a lot). And no, none of them were good enough for me --or anyone, for that matter-- but it's not as though I acted that way. Please. I'm only condescending on special occasions. To people who deserve it.
... though I'd guess they probably qualify.
"No," I said in my coolest, most detatched tone. "I mean, I've met a few guys better than you are. But no one good enough."
Travis couldn't figure out whether or not I was serious.
