Imagery ~ Moonlight
Gentle breezes sweep the hair from your eyes, We both smile and look up to the skies, The stars are shining golden tonight, And our faces stricken pale by the moonlight, The trees rustle with the breeze, The air filled with such serenity, Will we ever have another night as perfect as this? Could we seal this memory with a kiss? |
On the ninth day of the holidays, the Poetry forum gave to me...nine verse poems

Quote:
When are we going to do ballads or couplets? |
Since this kind is rather confusing, I'm going to change it.
The new poem type is tanka: five lines of poetry. First and third are five syllables and the rest are seven. And I'll also give extra time for everyone to work on their poems to make up for this. |
~~ Tanka ~~
I was wondering Here, what are tankas, if Not some overgrown Haikus? I mean, they are Surely nice, and similar For tanka and haiku I used the japanese syllable count |
Tanka ~ Easier Said
I will try for you, Although my heart aches this way, It's easier said, You must be worth it all though, For me to feel this strongly |
Tanka, huh? Well, it's certainly more understandable if not a haiku rip-off.
9. (Tanka) Those Insulting Stares Only insulting Eyes, those of malice, arrogance Greeted her entrance Uninvited arrival Only disturbing the fest. |
Imagery
And as the war continues The more red blood is spilled And the blue skies turned gray For it was a day of devastation Faraway was the land of salvation Filled with streams of cool water And bluer skies than any other But alas, only a miracle can save us And as the yellow sun turned red It marks the end of another day Many have died, some are fatally wounded But yet we still choose to continue When will we finally see that blue sky? When will we stop spilling blood on earth? How much more do we have to take? When will this war stop? Tanka Always confusing Writing syllable-based poems I am not happy For counting with my fingers Is never an easy task Ehh, this'll have to do. xD |
Be a silent lamb,
Do not fight with the big wolf. It's vicious and strong and no way you stand a chance. Silence is your one reprieve. |
Ballad
A ballad tells a story, typically about love, and has a repeated refrain. Think of it like a love song. |
Quote:
*cough* 10. (Ballad) Memories It was only the dawn that Marked the end of such a party. Dinner was hostile An air of hatred. Moments of happiness now nothing but memories. Yet, the girl of rowan Who without shame, without qualm Made sure to overstate her welcome Made sure to make them uncomfortable For it was a delight of pure malice Moments of happiness now nothing but memories. With grudge and silent whispers of Intentions far from kind Many a guest Felt very obliged To send her out on the streets, invited she was not. Yet for being the host, One kind to the girl she loved most, Thoumaeus, fiery auburn hair Stayed that night, her heart filled with might Moments of happiness now nothing but memories. But, staring out into A dying night, a waking dawn Morning ahead, she still has one task to accomplish There is a man who, Even after such events of Hostile murmurs, unwilling greetings, refusal to be hospitalable There is one mand who seeks her help, Moments of happiness now nothing but memories. |
sonnet
Fourteen lines long, with three four-line long stanzas (quatrains) and a concluding couplet (two lines) |
11. (Sonnnet) Pherros
It was Dawn that seperated them Not hardships, not resentment Which was fitting. Dawn passes with time Emotions are eternal Perfectly matching the Silhouette of their relationship. The man who called himself Pherros Had no further emotions with her Than a buisness partnership, Hollow companionship, mission-oriented friendship. Little did he know She had more feelings for him than that. I'm doing surpringly well with this daily thing... |
Ballad ~ Balladshy
Longer than a simple poem Your hearbeat's gone awry Careful as a symphony To know you're balladshy The Siren Song is calling you Will you live or die? Quick to close your ears They know you're balladshy Going, flowing Always aware of their knowing Feel the earth quake, see the light Can you even last one fight? Test of time? Test of love? Like a clock or like a dove? Don't you even try to lie, We all know you're balladshy |
canzone
Has five or six stanzas, with one concluding stanza. And I'll edit the first post when I'm not doing everything by the light of my monitor. |
Don't worry, I've been updating the last few things for you, Astinus.
Speaking of which, that's the tweleth poem, people, so you'd want to get in! The emblem's already been made as well and just needs uploading by an admin. |
HI GUYS I CAUGHT UP, MASS UPDATE, ALL DONE. :) last few poems suck okay
4. Limerick: I once decided I wanted to fly I had to learn, did not want to die Grabbed a lifejacket, Threw it on, made a racket, Then I decided to eat a pie. 5. Enjambment: It started to rain down on him As he got stuck into his sugar tin He asked his sister "Since it's raining now, is there going to be a twister?" She replied that the rain showed no indication Of anything other than precipitation And that he should use an umbrella Otherwise he would be a wet fella. 6. Acrostic: After the war, one soul was left wandering the earth, Left lingering were the scarred remains of a once strong man, Only after years of torment can he finally attempt to rebuild himself, Now he must find his way back home to escape the memories, Eventually finding those he loved have now left him, he is now alone. 7. Doggerel: Santa was looking for a wife, Not a tall one, not a short one, Just a woman which could sharpen his knife. Santa decided to head to the supermarket, Hoping that he'd get a peek into a woman's compartment, Looking in the food section to no avail, He started to wonder if he'd have to say "I failed". Santa decided he couldn't give in, So he headed to the bakery's bin, He checked the bin three times, But still, he did not manage to find a wife. Santa was distraught, so he yelled with great fear, "Women, won't you come ride in my car tonight?" Out of the shadows a lady appeared, She was round and was drinking beer. Santa yelled with such glee, Knowing that the one who found a wife was he. 8. Imagery: The sun beamed through the windows, All that could be seen was white light. She moved her head so she only saw half of the light, It glared into her eyes. She felt the wind blow from the east, As the curtains began to dance. The purple curtains flew in front of the white. As the white dodged the other curtains, The wind began to it it, Throwing it all over the room. Moments later, the sun began to fade, The darkness started to appear, The moon came out of hiding And she started to fall asleep. 9. Tanka: I own a parrot. She likes to call out often. She enjoys bird seed. She is a happy parrot. She could not be happier. 10. Ballad: She was only twenty, Blonde hair, long legs, and a smile that couldn't be stopped. When she took a step, only silence was heard, Nobody would dare utter another word. She made the world fall silent. He was only twenty-one, He was brunette, and a had soft touch. Everyone said the two should be together, He never had had a chance to speak. His lips were frozen, could not move. She made the world fall silent. During the next few weeks he followed her, Watched her, Never saying a word. Quietly wondering if she could be his, He planted an invitation in her bag. He walked away without a sound. She made the world fall silent. They only had this one night together, He, too afraid to speak, She, too confident to give him a chance. He tried to look into her eyes, Searching for something that could bring the two together. His eyes met hers, They both smiled. She made the world fall silent. Words no longer escaped him. He grabbed her, Pulled her in, Put his lips on hers. Nobody could say anything else. All they could do was watch. She made the world fall silent. 11. Sonnet: It was Christmas morning, A little girl walked from her bedroom, To the Christmas tree, And started to shake her presents. It wasn't time to open the presents, So the little girl went to eat a snack, She grabbed a hold of the largest handful of popcorn she could find, And started to eat it. The time arrived to open presents, So she walked down the hallway, Taking in every sight, Remembering that it was Christmas morning. She enjoyed the simple things, She was only just seven. 12. Canzone: I'm breeding. I've been breeding for hourse, Months, and even years. The breeding will never end, As long as there are puppies to be had. When I put my foot down on my bike, My emotion is heightened and my motivation is lifted, As I continue to breed, Every day, Every night. I see wild Audino in the grass nearby, I consider stopping to talk to them, But I keep my eye on the road. I can't let any distractions get in my way, As I breed each and every day. The old man says my Herdier is doing fine, But yet no breeding is happening. I wait, I wait patiently, and still, no puppies are found. I tell the old man I want the puppies now, But all he does is laugh in my face. He exclaims, "You can't have puppies!" I look at him wondering what he means, Realising that I am a human and that I sound crazy. I bred everyday, and finally my puppies came. I raised them to Stoutland, and now Unova is theirs. |
Sonnet ~ Oceanic
Kingdoms fallen one by one One side dark and one side light And the commoners decide to run For they knew this was not their fight One young girl roams the land The last remaining of her family Still so young, yet grown too old Her heart stays warm, but her shell stays cold She falls to the sand And the waves wash over her And yet so tired, she dares to stand The fire in her eyes say it's not over Kingdoms fallen one by one A Queendom then begins to rise Canzone ~ Bittersweet End The end has come but we knew its course We stand together No regrets, no remorse You may call us fools But is it foolish to not be fooled? Together we embrace our fates And we rejoice in the end The lights are shining above us And the earth trembled as we danced No sadness in this small town Friends all over hand in hand But we weren't surprised when we realized The lights were the stars exploding Shining their brilliance upon us Even the northern glow shattered And the earth not only shook for us But it trembled its own dance And we danced with the land now Anticipation towards the very end You might say we're fools But you've only made your fate bitter And in our end we must conclude We've met our fate and made it sweet I had a lot of fun with this! Thanks for creating this opportunity for people to branch out in poetry Astinus and bobandbill. (= |
12. (Canzone) Farewell
Farewell my Town of birth I hold you no remorse For I have cleansed my resentment. I have made your Christmas horrible Unimaginably uncomfortable That is my only wish Now I may leave. Truthfully, maybe you have learned As much as I About our society, our standards For my guilty pleasures where not mine alone. This man, he calls himself Pherros He thinks outside the box We have matters to attend to Outside of your concern Maybe you should Take more than a thought To decide who you cross And who you forgive. P.S. COUGHI'm leaving this poor town losersCOUGH I didn't even miss a day (other than when I first signed up.) I'm so proud of myself! In fact, this event was rather short...I'm sorry the ending was so abrupt, but I thought there were more poems to write. Sorry! |
Congratulations for finishing! BTW the mblem has been uploaded, so you three should have it now. As for other people, it looks like this:
