_________________________________________
Fragments of closure
Bleeding blue
The color of my soul
I was painted when you left
Screaming black
The color of the world
The life sucked dry – my vampire -
Gray cloud death
Your vanishing feelings
Unforgetting rainy day
Nothing left
The story of my life
Pick up the pieces again
Moving on
My closure complete now
The need for you – memory

Goodbye.

I wrote this as I was typing (freestyle), so it's pretty fragmented (hence the title). But I decided to keep it anyway. I guess it kind of... well... signifies my closure. Since you obviously couldn't guess that.... Not at all...

Thanks Kitana. And wow. Your poem was awesome. I really appreciated the repeated theme.

I really liked that one that PureEvil(?) posted too.

One of my favorite poems is the childrens poem Mr. Nobody (maybe that's not the name, but it's about a guy named Mr. Nobody). I used to read that all the time when I was little. I'll have to look it up.

What are your favorite poems (regardless of who wrote them)? Post them here along with your own.

Mr. Nobody... ahhh, that reminds me of something. Err, it's completely unrelated to what you're thinking about, but maaa-aaan, would a poem about the Mr. Nobody I'm thinking about be hilarious.

My favorite poem is this... read it once...then read what I have at the bottem, then read it again

anyone lived in a pretty how town
e. e. cummings
anyone lived in a pretty how town
(with up so floating many bells down)
spring summer autumn winter
he sang his didn't he danced his did

Women and men(both little and small)
cared for anyone not at all
they sowed their isn't they reaped their same
sun moon stars rain

children guessed(but only a few
and down they forgot as up they grew
autumn winter spring summer)
that noone loved him more by more

when by now and tree by leaf
she laughed his joy she cried his grief
bird by snow and stir by still
anyone's any was all to her

someones married their everyones
laughed their cryings and did their dance
(sleep wake hope and then)they
said their nevers they slept their dream

stars rain sun moon
(and only the snow can begin to explain
how children are apt to forget to remember
with up so floating many bells down)

one day anyone died i guess
(and noone stooped to kiss his face)
busy folk buried them side by side
little by little and was by was

all by all and deep by deep
and more by more they dream their sleep
noone and anyone earth by april
wish by spirit and if by yes.

Women and men(both dong and ding)
summer autumn winter spring
reaped their sowing and went their came
sun moon stars rain

Anyone is a man, noone is a woman.... with this in mind, reread the poem.








Isn't it a beautiful love story?

Haha. Yeah, that's it. I haven't heard that for years. I still like it a lot. Thanks for that.

Wow! That's definately on my top 3 list for favorite poems. I had read some e.e. cummings, but not that particular piece. That's REALLY cool.

Is this it?



Mr. Nobody

I know a funny little man,
As quiet as a mouse,
Who does the mischief that is done
In everybody's house!
There's no one ever sees his face,
And yet we all agree
That every plate we break was cracked
By Mr. Nobody.

'Tis he who always tears our books,
Who leaves the door ajar,
He pulls the buttons from our shirts,
And scatters pins afar;
That squeaking door will always squeak,
For, prithee, don't you see,
We leave the oiling to be done
By Mr. Nobody.

He puts damp wood upon the fire,
That kettles cannot boil;
His are the feet that bring in mud,
And all the carpets soiled.
The papers always are mislaid,
Who had them last but he?
There's no one tosses them about
But Mr. Nobody.

The finger marks upon the door
By none of us are made;
We never leave the blinds unclosed,
To let the curtains fade.
The ink we never spill; the boots
that lying round you see
Are not our boots -- they all belong
To Mr. Nobody.

Amen.

This isn't a poem that I made, but it's a poem that I like (if ever there was such a thing...):

As I was going up the stairs,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today,
I wish I wish he'd go away.

It's a modernized version of an older, similar poem. They used it in the movie "Identity." Good times.

Thats cool. Im going to memorize that one.
