That was beautiful. Sad...but beautiful! I can't believe I didn't see this one!

I love love love the second one!!! The first is really good, too, but the second one spoke to my heart.

Wow! I loved them, especially the first one! You're really good! Scary good.

Thank you so much Melodie.

I literally just wrote this one...so here goes:

There once was a widow,
A silent widow,
Who went to the meadow.

She sat down and stared,
Just stared,
At the open view.

Not a tear dropped
For the once she loved.
She gazed at the view
Staring at it's amazement.

She closed her eyes
For just one moment...

She listened to the birds
Sing their favorite tunes.

She listened to the bees
Hum as they worked.

She listened to the leaves
Rustle in the wind.

She opened her eyes
And watched...

She watched the birds
Feed their babies.

She watched the deer
Gracefully walk by.

She watched the ants
March one by one.

Everything worked
In perfect harmony.
She now knew
Why this...
Was his favorite place.

I put this one up in a contest today...it's a pretty big, pretty important contest. The winner gets put in a magazine read by 9 million people >.<

Poetry Is

Even though some might say poetry is like music,
Doesn't mean everyone will accept it for what it is.
Poetry is an art that's hard to understand
And only a mind apt for it can understand it.
When you look at art, you think,
"Oh, that's a pretty picture, very detailed."
And move on to the next one to say the same thing;
But art is more than a "pretty picture,"
It is more than "very detailed,"
It is a feeling, it is a passion, and it is an emotion.
It is a place, where, when, and how.
It is a "who," that we connect to, looking at the piece.
We have never met these people
Or even know if they ever existed,
But we feel like we've known them for all of eternity.
Poetry is the same way.
When people read poems, they say,
"That's nicely worded; what a good description."
And it's more than words; it's more than a description.
Poetry is life; It is us, it is the past, present, and future;
It's more than we see but exactly what we feel.
It's a dream that came true, and a love that was lost.
Poetry is not just words that can discarded,
Despised, and ridiculed.
It is who we are.
Those who do not comprehend poetry,
Do not try.
They see it as a waste, but at some point
That poem will become truth in their life.
Poetry creates people, describes land, and feeds imagination.
It is a source of power, the soul of humanity, the flight of freedom.
Poetry is strong like a warrior;
But simple like a river.

That was amazing bloody. It was bloody brilliant :D
I loved it. I was taken away with every word

Yes please!! its been too long without one here.

I'll get to that then. Vlog #2 is up.

I know it's been a while since I posted and I'm shocked it's still on the board but here's one I literally just wrote:

To speak the words
That lay heavy on my heart
Would bring my sanity
Tumbling to the ground.
The words I know
You want to hear,
Will only bring pain,
I fear.
These tender words,
We both know,
Are lead to the speaker
Lo, behold.
My heart is wrought
In iron gates;
And my mind,
A brick chasm.
Behind these locks
Are the words I cannot speak.
