Ok,
Since I'm not very much of a poem person, I promissed someone else I'd post a poem. :? (girls!)
Here goes:
| Quote: | ~~FRIENDS WITHOUT FACES~~
We sit and we type, and we stare at our screens
We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.
With our mouse we roam, through the rooms in a maze
Looking for something or someone, as we sit in a daze.
We chat with each other, we type all our woes
Small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes.
We wait for somebody, to type out our name
We want recognition, but it is always the same.
We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes flirt
In Palace we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.
We do form friendships - but - why we don't know
But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.
Why is it on screen, we can be so bold
Telling our secrets, that have never been told.
Why is it we share, the thoughts in our mind
With those we can't see, as though we were blind.
The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.
We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must
So we turn to the 'puter, and to those we can trust.
Even though it is crazy, the truth still remains
They are Friends Without Faces, and odd little names. |
This poem is also in memory of an IRC friend who died of cancer.
Cheers,
Malcolm ;P |

not bad at all. i saw all the rhymed couplets and figured it would be childish and too sing-songy, but it had a pretty decent flow to it. good work.
take that how you want, but i'll quite possibly be a high school english teacher within a calendar year so that's pretty high flattery. |

I thought it was wonderful.
| Quote: | The poet, as everyone knows, must strike his individual note sometime between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five. He may hold it a long time, or a short time, but it is then that he must strike it or never. School and college have been conducted with the almost express purpose of keeping him busy with something else till the danger of his ever creating anything is past.

Lol, well if you don't feel like you want to read it, you don't have to. I won't bite your head off or anything for not reading it  .
It's for a selective audience, I guess, . |

Likewise . I eventually left that channel because of some people acting really childish, but I'll be back, fear!  |

Here is a poem I bumped into online, I liked it
| Henson Towne wrote: | Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by, and the weeks rush on,
And before I know it a year has gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell,
And he rang mine if, we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
Tomorrow; I say, I will call on Jim
Just to show I am thinking of him.
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner! - yet miles away,
Here's a telegram sir, Jim died today.
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend. |
