A new poem....

lol She is not really from this planet so that's why she is so good.

um...okay 😕

well, wherever it is...i'll, i'll...i dunno what i'll

You're right, Julian... it's a unique style and that makes it even more interesting.

Keep it up Rou clapping

wow. i'm impressed with your style and the theme of your work. it's really good. i like that it's written in a contemporary style which is gaining popularity. unlike me who is still in the old way of writing with strict meter and cadence and rhyming convention. but when you read yours slow and aloud...it all makes sense, not that it didn't before.

sadly most people tend to read poetry as if it were a magazine to be skimmed real fast and not taking the time to enjoy it and allow the words to sink in and be mesmerised.

okay...i've done my part. good work Roulette. your talent is raw but very good.

And I agree with you...people don't always absorb poems properly.

I know my family doesn't appreciate poetry, and probably couldn't understand it completely if they did, so this place is great in that respect. And just great overall hehe 😄I love seeing so many people's work and how they differ in styles and whatnot hehe.

An Old Friend

Can’t erase her smile from my memory.
Tried so many times to say goodbye.

Can’t win this fight.

Same old rag doll staring back at me.
She’s been thrown into the toy box too many times.
Never a second glance for her worn smile.

Maybe she had it written on her face,
Maybe her hands trembled too hard.

Just wanted a second chance…
Maybe a third.

Please, remind me why I’m here again.
I think I’m satisfying the wrong person.

I’m counting the minutes.

Never wanted to be here,
But a little recognition would be nice.

Clueless princess.

Never mind.
I don’t think I expected you to understand this perfect chaos.
Please don’t bother to strain your eyes…
Can’t see what isn’t there.

Am I hoping for too much?
Maybe I should re-build this mess.

I’m feeling some glow in my heart.

I’m sorry…
Didn’t mean to cast a shadow.

Colour-blind doll.
She’s generous with that hatred.

Inch by inch, she’s crumbling.
She’ll make sure the toy box stays shut this time.

That's good!

Check out my stuff!!!

You peer into the darkness
And what do you see?
Nothing in the darkness
'Cause in the dark you cant see!!!

😎 Neat, eh?

Thanks! 🙂

😂 very neat 👆

😆 I suck. The only good think I've done is translate (sort of) the prologue from Romeo and Juliet into modern language, keeping it somewhat in the Iambic Pentameter and trying desperately to make it rhyme.

Awww...I'm sure that you're not giving yourself enough credit^-^

That's coming from Roulette the honey bee of KMC, who always has something nice to say! hug

😂 blushing...but I honestly meant that hug

lovely poem again Rou :hug:

Thanks Coldfire! hug
