When I first started using the forums I'd been on another site and someone used a term that's in this piece. When I first wrote it, I did it in Hallmarked poetry. But the words came thick and fast and soon I had too much. So I made it bigger. And bigger. Till eventually you have the story you see here. I've based it on a reporter telling the newbies what it was like "In de old days." It uses the vernacular of every black...

'Doing' Words Superlatives and adjectives, are words that do describe. A verb-ing word is a doing term, behind which I can hide. Full stops and commas - I infuse, with words to halt or pause. Without such things, I'd soon be seen writing un-verbose? I get so tired of trying to be, thought of inter-est-ing, I use the words upon my page to try to say some-thing. Anything will do, to provoke you, into verbage or admission. W...

Scrabble Champ I want to be, a Scrabble Champ, I want to pass the test. But words like 'it,' with 'and' or 'dog,' will never beat the best. Obscurity in wordiary, that seems the way to be, but wugahumf and neuxzily, are double-dutch to me. Although I try, to keep up with, all the high-score-words, I never seem to get beyond, 'dog' or 'cat' or 'bird.' Swearing words and obscene terms, are all the rage it seems. But words o...

Lols to Tits I've noticed that I use the abbreviation 'lol' far too much when chatting online, typing stories, poems or texting. Even though what's being said is hardly funny at all. Sometimes I use it to take the sting out of an amusing or cutting comment that I've made, so the person on the other end doesn't feel slighted or possibly offended in any way. We all use 'lol' every time we type, without actually laughing, an...

No Title Yet Superlatives and adjectives, are words to describe. A verb-ing word is a doing term, behind which I can hide. Full stops and commas, I infuse, with words to halt or pause. Without such things, I'd soon be seen, writing, un-verbose? I get so tired of trying to be, thought of inter-est-ing, I use the words upon my page to try to say some-thing. Anything will do, to provoke you, into verbage or admission. When y...

"Take it back, take it back, I still believe you can..." Evanescence, Disappear. She said goodbye, told herself he wasn't worth the time the waiting, or the pain. But what if... What if she gave him one more chance to try again to start over, or to take it back?

1If this were paradise--fall would never fade;the leaves so red and orange would always glowin the wonder of the autumn light, and the shadeof shadows from the trees would never go,and the ancient sun and moon would always shineand fill our endless days with fragrant air,and we would laugh and never think of time,or see our wrinkling skin and graying hair.But we are here on this October dayto see two lovers standing face...

It hurts Agony, Anguish, Disappointment, Devastation, Frustration, Humiliation, Fear, Anger, Sadness, Pain, Destruction, Only that you left in my soul, My soul is broken into a thousand pieces. Love, Goodness, Compassion, Hope, Passion, Happiness, Life, Sensitivity, Sanity, That erased off the face of my heart. My heart is dead in life, by your betrayal, And it hurts.

Mind is a mazeTwist after turnLife is a gameLive it, you'll learnThere are rules tooBreak them, you'll seeListen, you'll hearWords that I speakDays in my lifeSaw and I've seenSeasoned with strifeMorning dew's sheenBlades of cut grassAnd summer's heatMe, seeing youAlways a treatTwo hearts would beatTwo hands would holdTwo lives would leadFrom young to oldNever a bridgeWe wouldn't crossI can't forgetMy suffered loss

Too hot to thinkThe words are a blurThe lines on the highwayRace by AC crapped outRadio did tooI can't get my thoughtsTo run straight Nothing makes senseThe signs all pointIn the wrong directionI'm running out of gas Aha! What's that ahead?A lightA very bright lightI'm so confused It's not getting closerIt's moving awayJust like the memoryOf snow-capped hills The memory of coolOf cold and of frostThe chill of the pastBeco...

There were days When I had no other ways to get out This pain I only knew how to cause more Damage to myself and before you know it I had the knife and my skin was splitI tried hard to hide but couldn’t defend my guard I was weak Thus the tears that strolled my cheeks every night Crying over wrong and right I can’t show the pain the truth it has to goAnd this is supposed to be old Sitting in fire and still feeling cold Su...

A Duet/Jugalbandi by : DREAMCATCHER & MILEEBANERJEEOGN Such joy she brought each time she came.. Now she's gone and I don't feel the same.. What light she gave to my darkened space.. Then left too soon without a trace.. An empty heart and tear filled eyes.. Hide behind this man's wretched disguise.. He thinks of her within darkest night.. A moonlit shadow across his sight.. Was she ever there or was it just magic.. To nev...

when words forlorn coalesce into an invalid metaphor, truth inheres the failed rhetoric. when truth digs holes in the fabric of letters, language dissipates in void. void extends in clandestine revenge to delete all poetry websites.

This was inspired from a friend's email, a line she had said and it brought about this little poem.there is this game I have been playinga game filled with wordspoetry is the gamethat I so enjoyseeing new wordscome in my mindand on my screenjuggling them aroundplaying with them to see howthey soundI have been playing this game for a while nowit is a fun game though abitch at timesfinding the words that work togetherthough...

Oftentimes the many thoughts,That go on inside my head,So many thoughts unspoken,So much remains unsaid.And sometimes the most precious thoughts,Just never get put to word,The ones with the most meaning,Are the ones that are never heard.Because when someone means so much,I don't always have words to say,For feelings that run much deeper,Than mere words could ever convey.And just because words aren't often voiced,Doesn't m...
