Ignore my last post I was in a bad mood. If ya don't midn Im gonna review some of the stuff that's been posted gives me something to do and it can help other people get better and it might improve my own poetry if I see stuff in otehr peoples work which is wrong that i know I do.

Friendship's Trust

Friends are a part of life
Watchout for eachother
Do not betray oneanother

Rough start I think. Doesn't flow veyr well either IMO

You try to gain their trust
but watch out when it rusts

A bit rusty i think (pun intended :P) the second line in that bit could do with a little tweaking. Something like

but watch out for it soon rusts

sounds better to me at least.

For it's not easy to regain
When you've already broken the chain

Again some tweaking needed. Replace "It's not" with "it isn't" to make it sound better I think.

For once the link of friends are broken
They ignore when your words are spoken

Second line needs tweaking. Maybe something like " They ignore the words that you have spoken" and personally I'd replace "link" with "bonds"

So keep in mind when you're around

That needs something else to keep it company. Another line or something but it shouldn't be alone.

Never try to get the crown
For friendship isn't a competition
Not is it any mission

ok this bit just annoys me. Needs to be scrapped or majorly rewritten I think. Tweaking won't do it for this bit :-\

Do not betray others to be in the top
Because you know you'll eventually drop

something like Do no betray others to reach the top, you know,eventully, the ride will stop, would be better I think.

This is what friendship's trust is...
and forever this trust will hold

Nice little sentiment at the end.

Not bad really. Editing needed in places I think but you have potential that's for certain :-) Keep practicing and you could be pretty damn Ace I think

no problem. if ya don't mind I'll pop in from time to time and see what's going on and leave some reviews on certain pieces. If i don't review soemthign then it means I can't really think of anything to say about it so unless I get asked specifically to review a piece I'll only review pieces that i think could benefit from a constructive review so the poet can improve.

Oh I'll be posting one of my poems later aswell.

no problem.

here my poem. its a work in progress there are some bits I'm not happy with but I can't think what to do to change the, maybe someone can come up with some suggestions.

Masquerade

When light breaks in and shows your face
You walk away with a quickened pace
To hide the torment in your soul,
You shake in fear like a frail rag doll.

With pain and torment within your soul
You dance through the suffering of ages old
But from moments past and the seconds to come
The masquerade continues on.

With face revealed by morning light and
Nothing really seeming right
You remove the mask that binds your soul
You show your face at the masquerade ball.

One last glance, then you move on
From age old traditions and age old song
You remove the mask that binds your soul.
A unique action at the masquerade ball.

i'll join i love writing poems

heres one call True Beauty

She is the essence of beauty you see
For she is the only girl i see
My passion has no end
But alas she only she only see's me as a friend

Her sight sends butterflies a swarm
For she is beauty in its highest form
There's one thing I know for sure
All the angels envy her

When I see her my heart skips a beat
and it feels like someone turned up the heat
I feel lighter then air and i start to hover
because i see her and no other

I think for me, u repeated torment in ur soul too much.

ooh poetry club, sounds fun. here are poems of mine that are my favorites. one of them is a sonnet and the only reason i wrote it was because it was an assignment for english. i hate iambic pentameter and my poetry is usually dark with a childish quality to it. enjoy...

Selfish

The dark whirl of death consumes you
Pulling you deeper and deeper into life
You don’t know what you are doing or what you are saying
You are ignorant to your own needs
You ignore your own life,
Selfishly tending to the needs of others
You suck your own life away.

untitled

My life and your hate
They are one in the same
They are separate loves
Make me calm
And open the gate
Open the gate to your heart
And let my life start
Don’t let me die
Don’t let me hate
Don’t let me lie
I’ll love you until I’m dead
I only want you to Love me.

Here I Am Alone

Here i am alone
all alone with no one to help
i cannot help but cry and moan
my pain is great but i do not yelp
the pain cannot over power me
i am not weak, yet i am not strong
what is it i seek, why wont anyone stay.
i try to help i try to make things better
but all i get is a kick in the face and told to obey
i fight it, i fight myself
i tell myself i'm fine and i dont need help
forget them, i dont need them,
but i am wrong. i need someone
i just need a friend.

Where am I?

What is this place I have now come to find?
Is this a wonder or a grotesque place?
Is this real or just a trick of my mind?
What are these things I see before my face?
Is this a heaven or is this a hell?
I know not what is happening to me!
I am lost where no living thing can dwell.
What have I done to reach this place I see?
I cannot find a scent of which to speak.
I feel no emotion of love or hate.
My future now seems so completely bleak.
Is this my saving, or is this my doom?
I suppose my death is cause for my gloom.

I’m Supposed to be Happy

I’m Supposed to be HAPPY
I’m Supposed to be GLAD.
I’m Not Supposed to be LONELY
I’m Not Supposed to be SAD.
I’m Supposed to be HAPPY
I’m Supposed to SMILE.
I’m Not Supposed to be ANGRY
I’m Not Supposed to feel VILE!
I’m Supposed to be HAPPY
I’m Supposed to CHEER.
I’m Not Supposed to be STRANGE
I’m Not Supposed to feel FEAR.
I’m Supposed to be HAPPY
I’m Supposed to CHEER.
I’m Not Supposed to be LONELY
I’m Not Supposed to hold a TEAR.

I am the Curséd Soul

I am the Curséd Soul
Who knows no pleasure
Who knows only Pain
This Pain I cannot measure
It haunts me like a stain
On my WRETCHED Soul.

I do not cry (should i keep these lines in the poem?)
My heart is black
My heart is crying
I know only Pain.

I am the Curséd Soul
And nothing ever goes right for me!

Untitled

My motivation flies away with my soul
Leaving me nothing but a dark wall
Breathing a new face into my own
Carving my mask of emotion
I live on as though I am happy
I know no fear
For I do not care
I could fake a life for the mass of people
Then cry alone in my own steeple
No one needs to know my pain
To see that everything is the same

Untitled (this one is new)

That which is not seen
is already broken.
What you do not know
will never be.
What you are
is not who you are.
The truth can not be seen
when it is blanketed in lies.

My Heart (incomplete) (this isn't new but this i havent put this one in the writer's guild)

My heart aches for Love
And there is nothing Above
That can soothe my Pain
When I have Everything to Gain.

My heart aches for Life
Amid all this Strife
Nothing can soothe my Pain
When I have Everything to Gain.

Response to The Poetry Club 2005-04-10 20:11:51


i haven't been on much but i wrote this poem after my semiformal on friday please reveiw

You were the most beautiful girl there
This is so true
Every one disappeared
There was only me and you

My brain just stopped
Without me knowing
My heart took over
For you were glowing

All sound stopped
No noise was made
Only us dancing
As the music played

We danced all night
I wished it would never end
Even though people where staring
Including my friend

We slow danced a lot
I counted five
When I’m with you
I feel so alive

We talk all night
We talk so long
And we dance together
On all the slow songs

At the end of the night
We had the same trend
We both were happy
Not wanting the night to end

I went home happy
In love it might seem
You might not have been near
But you were in my dream

I have a question, If I posted a poem here on newgrounds forum can it be used for a contest or is it already being used for a contest?

Response to The Poetry Club 2005-04-10 20:23:49


I am a popular death poet in my (forgot the word but yeah) so if you are easily depressed just kick me out lol, cus most of my poems depress females for some reason.

I am going to post a poem that is one of my shortest, all my poems are personal but my life isn't so...

Existing in your own time, Breathing the wrong air,
A minor cut on the wrist, Judging lifes not fair.

Life leads to death, A meaning without thought,
Everything you gained, Now lost and left to rott.

A god is what we needed, A god is what we got,
His power undenying, Believe A god or not.

Pointless, Meaningless, Tempted Aggression,
Wanting Hatred, Loosing Possession.

If I dream before I wake, I'll cry before I see,
The life I live is fake, Right infront of me.

Response to The Poetry Club 2005-04-10 20:35:26


And how bad do you guys think I feel when I used to be in newgrounds about 10 months ago but I got cut offline and lost 30 love poems 40 death poems 2 suicide poems and 1 religious poem, I came back online a few months ago 1 or 2 and I had like 5 religous, and 20 death poems and I got a virus for being stupid, now I only have 4, luckily I never had any suicide poems....lmao but I do have one or two now, but yeah I was REALLY angry but i'm going to meet the woman of my dreams in 2 -3 months so that calmed me down alot.

Response to The Poetry Club 2005-04-12 20:34:48


I didn't know you very well
Only saw you from a distance
Stranger

You came to my house
Talked with my family
Friend

You held the metal of destruction to your head
The trigger pulled by your bony finger
Dead

We didn't know what to think
"Why did he take his life"
Confused

I knew down inside you had a reason
Let it be good, that reason
Understood

This is a pome I wrote about my neighbor who commited suicide. It was shocking, but in a way I understood him.

So, could I join this club?

What Is Up YO!!! Names Jordan!! And Jordan likes to write poetry. So Hope you guys like some of my stuff!!! olo!!!!

Life
Living in decay
everyone rotting away
nothing to look forward to
dust, dust, and endless dark
all placed in a stone forest park
join the mass
and place your hopes,
your fears
your dreams
under the grass
underground

Response to The Poetry Club 2005-04-12 23:09:01


Ok I feel insulted but dont bother even telling me you like or hate this one lol cus you rated everyone elses except mine so just read don't vote. Why should you, you never done in the first place:)

My hands to feel, And coress your heart,
Our souls combine, We are never apart.

My eyes to look, And see your smile,
Our souls follow, As we walk a mile.

My nose to smell, And sedate my mind,
Without it, no one to feel, No soul to find.

I taste your love, From every kiss,
My beginings end now brought to this.

Loosing my sences, Loosing my style,
Knowing i'm still young, the grim waits awhile.

Did I live it like the last, Or did I live it like the rest,
Will I pass away midnight, Or is this just a test.

Its time running out, I have a few seconds left,
Reading this poem, I hold my final breath.

Aww... I would love to join even though i'm not that good, anywayz:

The perfect day

Went up stairs to make my bed,
a bucket of shit fell on my head.
Went down stairs to light the fire,
burn my balls on an electric wire.
Went outside to cool them off,
along came a bus and pulled them off.
Went to the doctor and the doctor said,
"sorry mate but your balls are dead!"
