My Poem
« on: September 22, 2006, 01:02:30 AM »

Okay i wrote a poem and i wanted to know what everyone thinks of it


I am dark.
I will linger in your heart.
Cross your heart.
I hope you die.
I'll stick a needle in your eye.
When you wake up, what do you see?
Look into the dark; you will see me.
You will see but crimson red,
With a face, but no head.
You will fufill my every need.
I am full of quenching greed.
Hear that whisper in the dark?
It could make the dead dogs bark.
Hear me stomping up the stairs?
As you scream and pull your hair.
Hear those awful, screaming sounds?
It's made the living all fall down.
That monster in the closet; Is it just a lie?
Some people swear they've heard a horrifying cry.
True, the monster is not real.
I'm in that closet, deep and dark.
I'll want to make you scream.
This is too real to be a dream.
You'll suffer until your time has come,
Then you will be mine.
You'll hear me walking up the stairs,
And through your bedroom door.
You'll see my shadow through the dark.
Your joy will be no more.
Hold your teddy close and near,
The only thing that you endear.
Only to realize, when you turn around,
Your smile will soon wear into a frown.
Don't you see that I'm everywhere?
I listen to you on the phone.
Anything that you posess,
I've made my own.
I seep into your walls,
And deeply into your mind.
Can't you see that I hold you in my everlasting bind?
You reach for the light; try not to make a sound.
I disappear behind you; you don't dare to look around.
I can sense the movement of your eyes shifting about.
Are you scared of my existence?
I have no doubt.
I'm what's in your head,
When you try to sleep in bed.
I hear that desperate wish of death.
It'll take too long before you take your last breath.
Your life will be in desperate sorrow.
I'll be here when you wake tomorrow.
Don't wait for it to pass today,
Because it's just going to stay that way.
You wake up, and you scream.
Then realize it's just a dream.
You look up, and you see me there,
This horrid face you cannot bear.
I wait for you.
I'm deep inside.
I'm in your soul.
I'm that terrifying whisper in your ear.
Who am I?
I am fear.

Time for critiques.

Nicely done, I do admit. Yet it needs to be broken down into more stanzas. Hopefully you know what a stanza is.. or you cannot call yourself a Poet.

And at the end... you should ask the reader who you are. It ruins the mood, ya' know what I mean? The reader has to be able to feel the emotion of the poem and not bring the work to them but go to the time of the work.

And because I wasn't able to feel the emotion since it was one long stanza, I wasn't able to get the full effect that the poet would hope to send. Therefore, the reader will lose interest quickly or stay with it until the end and then lose interest because of the question that was asked.

Maybe you should have ended it with...

Do you not know who I am?
Of course you do.
For I am in your waking nightmare.
As I am something that your imagination cannot bear.
With an aching voice, you cry and scream.
Those pitiful callings, all but a dream.
A frightful night it was indeed.
A silent killer, oh how your heart will bleed.

I am the voice that calls your name.
I am the whisper that you always blame.
Always sobbing, always crying
Always falling, always dying.
I'm that feather that weeps with you.
And I am your dreams,
Your fantasies,
And your little fears too.


Just... make sure you don't answer the question immediately and keep them reading and guessing what it is.

It was a nice poem, very dark poem, but nice nonetheless. A part of me died while reading it. I'll join ya on that eating butterflies thing Sri.

I enjoyed it. It was rather long, but if I had to comment it I would say that it is well written, but it is a little too sad for my taste  :cry: I like happier poems  :D

Actually, the word isn't "sad" but "creepy"... Anyway, I like happier poems too... Fear just ain't my type of theme. Good work though

CHERRY BLOSSOMS

Cherry blossoms spring near the kintai castle walls

that fill the ground till the end of fall

when night shines in the great dark sky

there shall be a cherry blossom festival passing by

when life is happy and full of joy

they will wait till the cherry blossoms bloom

again in the next spring….

A very nice poem, Klaymank, but also very dark.  I liked it, although I'll have to agree with Lebis.  It would be even better if it was broken into stanzas, of either 4,6,or 8 lines depending on the rhyme scheme.  I don't know about the eating of butterflies, because I sort of like dark poetry.  However, this poem was both dark, gritty, and to a certain aspect Edgar Allan Poe like.  Was it long, yes but really enjoyed reading the entire poem, it kept me going till the end.   As other have asked, is dark poetry your genre or do you have other forms of poetry genre?

Here's mine...

A Thousand Masks

I hide behind a thousand masks
Because I don't want you to know.
The fragile and lonely me inside,
I am afraid to show.
I may act fine,
Calm as I may be.
But these masks can never show
The one and only me.

If only there could be someone
To love me as I am.
For though I seem to need no one,
Inside, I'm all alone.
If I can drop all lies,
even if I get left behind.
As long as you can accept me,
I can remove these masks of mine.

One who doesn't need a plastic smile,
To lock away all tears.
One who isn't afraid at all
To admit all his fears.
To just release all insecurities
And cry whenever sad,
And still manage to have a genuine smile,
to laugh with whenever glad.

I may have a thousand masks,
Masks to hide behind.
I want you to see the real me,
The one crying inside.

By the way, my genre is sentimental
