Pressure(Writing Poems Again :P)

Great, now I'm back to where I started, only knowing how to write certain poetry types. Anyways, here I go with my next one:

--
wombat
--

Haiku:
What is a wombat
I know it's an animal
But I don't know which

Two-Voice:
"Hey, what's a wombat?"
"Might be related to a rat."
"Might?"
"Right."
"That doesn't help at all."
"The library's down the hall."
"I don't wanna read!"
"Information, it'll feed."

"I just wanna know about wombats!"
"They might be related to kitty-cats."
"Might?"
"Right."
"That doesn't get me anywhere!"
"The library's got information to share."
"I don't wanna learn!"
"What about your wombat yearn?"

"Just tell me: What is a wombat?"
"Might be related to a gnat."
"That doesn't help hardly!"
"The library----
"I'm lazy okay! WHAT IS A WOMBAT?!"
*Poem ends as asker see's second person run off after his outburst*
 
This poem really doesn't make too much sense. It's a bit...dare I say it...far-fetched.
Though granted, it is just plain hilarious.
It doesn't have much poetic element in it, but, I can see that wasn't what you were really going for.
The rhyming is pretty acceptable, likewise the structure.
 
Must...keep...writing...must....resist...urge...to...quit...poetry
Yeah, my life's getting pretty chaotic, but I'll try to keep posting...

MULTI-VERSE HAIKU:
Spoiler:
 
This is 25% funny, 25% dark, 25% poetic, and 25% awesome.
I'm serious. This is so well-rounded that I can't help but love it.
Very well done!
 
Eek! Sorry about my inactivity lately, I've had a lot going on in school and such the one or two weeks, but luckily I have winter vacation this upcoming week, so I'll nothing but time to review all yours poems!

Your haiku about me was very humorous by the way =p thank god the zombies didn't get to me!

I'll have more time for a more in-depth review sometime tomorrow or tuesday, today I still have a couple of things to do, I just wanted to check in quick =p

P.S. btw, Chris Martin is the lead singer of coldplay

Oh...so the zombies didn't get you?
Drat...I mean, jolly good!
I also don't know what coldplay is, but I guess I'll google it later.
Anyways, HAIKU acknowledging Scytheteen's return:
Spoiler:

What I consider to be a 'Normal Poem':
Spoiler:
 
My brother loves Coldplay. And I have to admit, it is a great band.

Now for the poem.
Errr, I think you may have been trying too hard on this one. Some of the lines don't really make much sense and are not really clever.
The concept is okay, but not too spectacular. There's also a couple or so grammar errors. Like "Ram their heads into tree's" should be "Ram their heads into trees".
Bottom line, it's certainly isn't one of your better ones, but it's acceptable, so, okay.

Also, I don't believe there really is such thing as a "normal" poem. Classic and original, yes. But I wouldn't consider any poem "normal". They are all different.
 
Tried too hard? Don't you mean DIDN'T try to hard if it wasn't one of my better poems?

I wonder if...okay, so I'm trying something new, I'm going to write two acrostics. One is a tribute, one is a hate mail thingy. The test subject: TJGamer.
In both of them, good or bad, I don't mean a thing. It's just to see what I can do with this idea. TJ, if you are offended easily, DO NOT read the bad poem. Leave it to Scythe. It's a concept, like looking in a mirror:

Good:
Terrific
Jolly
Great
Awesome
Marvelous
Extraordinary
Rapper/Poet
-
BAD: (dun dun dun)
Terrible
Jolly Bad
Get a life
Abomination
Most hate him
Everything around him sucks
Recripocal of cool

I had ruder words for the "G" and "R" in the bad one...
Hopefully the good will balance the scales!
I hope you enjoyed!!
 
Heheh, uh, no offense taken.
Except, I'm not interested in rap.

And when I said "trying too hard", I was meaning you were putting too much effort into the rhyming and style, but it just turn out quite right.
Your poem wasn't terrible. It could have been a lot worse.
 
Heck, I'd love it to be worse. That way I could improve more.

Normal Poem:
I'm sick and tired
I've just been fired
Last paycheck
Then I'm a wreck
Need time to think
Gotta grab a drink
At the age of fifty
This ain't nifty

Then comes the sign
Puts my life back in line

HELP WANTED

Heck, yes, another chance
I stare at the sign
Stuck in a joyous trance
This job'll be mine

Walk through the door
Start to want it more
Fill out the paperwork
Happiness seems to lurk
-----------------------

Well, who knows how that story ends. I say that he doesn't get the job and ends up miserable.

Haiku:
Wonderful Yogurt
As awesome as can exist
Strawberry flavor
 
Even though this poem is depressing in a way, it was still fun to read. The rhyming is fantastic, and the ending is just funny.
Same goes for the Haiku too.
 
NEXT POEM! I spent like two hours working on it, longest time I've ever spent. I did a lot of effort, because I'm determined to improve. Heck, I even had a friend proof it. I tried to be relaxed while writing it...and my friend said it was great. So, I hope you enjoy:

Spoiler:
 
This one sounds like a funny children's song. That's a compliment.
You don't really see stuff like that anymore. I wonder why.
I like the silly rhyming. It fits well.
The haiku is pretty good too.
Good job!
 
Oh...you reviewed the joke poem too. Alright, I'll take it!
Anyways, you know how those horror movies have those creepy songs sung by children to freak out the viewer? Yeah...I was thinking I write one of those. So, here it is:

Your blood freezes
Victims, it seizes

Mom's gone missing
Dad has vanished
You keep wishing
You won't feel it's lash

It will come for you
Then, you'll die
It'll get your friends too
When it comes by

With claws of iron
Bloodshot Eyes
Death you will earn
Your demise

First he rips off your arms
Followed by your legs
Whether rich or on a farm
He'll rip though you beg

This whole time, you're alive
To stop the pain, you strive
Then he rips of your head
Then you're finally dead
 
I'm no fan of horror movies. But horror stories, that's different.
I like the merciless torture that goes throughout the story.
Though I noticed this part
"Whether rich or on a farm
He'll rip though you beg"
That seemed a bit random to me. Strange.

Anyway, you seem to have a strong taste in dark literature.
Just like Edgar Allen Poe, a very dark writer.
 
Edgar Allen Poe's works are okay...I only know a few of them.

But, have you ever wondered: What would happen if....

I wake up, but not in my bed
A strong pain hurting my head
I realize the carpet's not mine
Neither are the blood-red walls
Yesterday everything was fine
I didn't have these strange halls
There's no restroom
Instead, a painting
It shows a flowers bloom
I stare at it thinking:

This isn't my house
I don't belong
I feel like a scared mouse
Everything's wrong

I hear a voice, that of a woman
"Hurry up, Carl! You'll miss the bus!"
Who's this Carl, he better rush
A stranger comes and meets me
She's a woman, the one that called
She's ugly and I'm simply apalled
Then, comes the scariest thing
I realize my body's covered in bling
This body is not that of my own
What is this new life that's been sewn
She calls me "Carl" and sends me out
I climb on the bus wondering:
What's the experience about?
A faint bell seems to ring
As if this is actually my real life
But, what about the other with my wife
In this world, I'm a kid
In the other, a father
My worries, I wish to rid
This has got me bothered
 
Hmmmm.....this is strange.
Very strange. But coming from you, that's saying quite a lot.
What's funny is that we don't know if this poem is just a dream or actual reality.

Some of the lines don't rhyme at all though. Was that intentional?

Anyway, a very strange, but likable, poem.
Maybe nonsense poetry is one of your strengths too.
 
Nonsense poetry? Get ready to hear some flib-flab!

The bird flies high in the sky
I love the letter of 'y'
See grandma, she says 'hi'
I feel like telling a lie

I'm eating yummy yogurt
The worm is really hurt
Someone save that lady
Something with Sadie

Stupid blueberry muffin
Scruffy wants a scruffin'
I love ya', ya' ragamuffin
He's mad and really huffin'

Enter your house
Love your blouse
Is that a cow
I'll leave now
--
Well, that was kind of easy and fast. It's complete and utter nonsense.
 
It isn't the best nonsense poem I've read, but it's way better than the one I have made. And believe me, it wasn't very good at all.
This is what I love about nonsense poetry. Utter randomness!
It drives you nuts!

Maybe you're like Lewis Carroll too. :cer_wink:
 
Lewis Caroll...
"I'm late, I'm late
For a very important date!"
Alice in Wonderland was enjoyable to read.

Haiku:
Loved peaceful fountain
Lend your water to my mouth
I am very parched
