Here, read your heart out. There's only four of them, one of them is written by my best friend, not by me. Go here; www.fanfiction.net/s/2883706/1/and read all four chapters. It's only on fanfic because it seems to fit and I wanted someone to recognize my poetry. Hope ya'll like it!

Thanks! And sorry about posting the url, I'll just post the poetry next time. Here's one I just wrote, getting the first line from a random first line generator that I use to help me get an idea. It's really strange, so don't be too confused:
of cowards and riddles
In the furrow of reason the cowards riddle, A man will say "Riddle me this" And the cowards will run And duck their heads And lapse into prayer Without reason Without reason Riddles make no sense
Use your mind and you will Understand Why I say "Riddle me this"
So many a man got lost in these riddles A coward in his own home Coward, A coward A miserable coward Hiding from all that could hurt him Confuse him Scare him Lose him
Beat him
Choose him
Hit him
Abuse him
Or anything of the like. Just to say that he found the answer Which would have to be a lie Because the answer is wrong Because it never happened It was all a dream But now this man realizes That he is truly a coward Only a miserable coward
Yeah, I'm not sure what I was thinking when I wrote that. I also have this:
Left Lonely
We were both left lonely, That day by the sea. And Heaven knows why, I will always remember. The smell of the sea, On the day we were left lonely.
I can remember the easy things, Like smells and colors and words. I can remember you left first, But I can't remember why, I didn't chase after you, Begging, pleading.
'They' always said not to have too much pride. And I think I've learned my lesson. Never again will I hesitate Or waste a moment Or try to forget.
The bad things in life are the best times. You'll remember them always. I know I'll always remember. That day by the sea. When you left. When I left. When we were both left lonely. Alone by the sea.

W.o.w.
I don't read poetry much... but comparing yours to what I have read, it ranks right up there with the top. Really, each line is... poetic. -laughs- I'd better stop gushing or you'll think I'm just saying it to be nice. I don't know, maybe I haven't read enough poetry. I'm not the best one to be judging... but I do really like it. ;D

Thanks! I've entered a few contests, but I haven't won anything yet. I'd love to get published, but I don't really think it's going to happen.

I think it'll happen! Gosh darn it. If you don't think it'll happen, it won't. That's one of the most classic words of wisdom.

I do that mostly for rythm. When I first started writting, it did seem silly to repeat a line, but now I just kind of have to, or else my rythm is off.
