Topic: the sun

Words: not, water, space

[Sirkana]

I'm really happy this has been resurrected... Great poems!

splitting the water,
the golden path of the sun
as it whirls through space
is it not magnificent?

Wow that was c**p...

Topic: broken
Words: silent, only, once

[ServalSpirit]

Okay, to do something different, no words, but the topic has to be a day as a cactus.

[Savendia]

Well that's different SS! I'm glad other people like this thread, it's a good one.

Day as a cactus... hmmm... Well, I'll try it!

It appears first over the trees,
Giant spines that jut
Over the world,
Waiting for the sun
To grow.
Slowly reaching,
Higher to the sky,
And back down,
Lifelight fading to black,
And its silver twin is born.

Yeah... I know, laugh long and hard at the absurd nonsense! It was supposed to be sort of the sun coming over the horizon with pointy rays looking like a cactus, and then setting and having the moon come out.

[Savendia]

Cool , what's the next topic?

Oops! Forgot about that bit...

[Savendia]

I think your topic might be kind of difficult to get into one poem, Rania. Since I don't want this thread to die again so soon after it's been resurrected, I'm going to post another topic, seeing as I was supposed to in the first place...

Topic: Autum
Words: Colors, bright, frost

[summer]

The morning freezes my breath;
it leaves my body in smoky tendrils.
The pale sun cannot muster
the strength to warm the earth.
Winter is coming.
Bright frost clings to blades of grass,
and traces delicate patterns on window panes.
Leaves of all colours gently fall,
spiralling from distant heights.
They form a vibrant carpet
that crunches, and crackles as I walk.


Umm, okay next topic is Music. No words, cause I don't have time to think of any.

[Savendia]

Very nice Summer!

It drifts around my soul,
Slipping stealthily inside.
Opening my heart
And closing my blind eyes.
Drifting away and caught in the tide,
I grab at what I find.
To the shore it drags me,
And I am finally
Safe
Within the shifting notes
And chiming melodies,
I can hide.
From the ocean's fiercest storm.

Topic: Dreams
Words: Thought, unseen, vanish

[summer]

Thanks. Yours is amazing.

The bridge goes on forever,
secured to nothing but air,
yet I walk its length without misgivings.
An unseen darkness follows;
I feel it always behind me.
The white whale leaps,
stuck in a pool too small.
In my thoughts all seems rational;
The surreal events that would
surprise me in my waking world.
Visions of flying, falling, fighting.
Vengeful shapeshifters, families and friends,
blend together behind my eyelids.
I live a lifetime each time I dream.

Thoughts, not thought, but I figured it wouldn't really matter.


Topic: childhood
words: naive, simple, playing. or any variations thereof

[cg12311]

Naive they waste the hours
playing simple games.
Handball, leapfrog, kick the can.

Impatiently waiting.

Yearning to force the clock's
hands forward,
to grow older,
to become adults.

Oh to stop the clock,
and play Leapfrog in reverse,
to kick the can back from where it came,
bend time's hands back,
and become naive again.



Topic: The Moon

Words: tar, snakes, crystal. Or use any words that don’t border on moon cliché’s.

[Savendia]

That was really good CG!

Tarred in silver,
Hung with shadow,
Snaking around the blue-green orb
That is our life.
The Moon dances,
Crystal steps through the velvet sky,
A complex waltz of sun and star,
A pattern too small to see
And to large to understand.

Um, I used snaking instead of snake... is that okay?

Topic: Night
Words: Bright, close, warm
