Poetry Thread

[Old Thunder]

Since some people here, like myself, often engage in poetry writing, I figured that I would open up this thread so anyone can share what they’ve written here. I will begin with a new one I wrote this morning:

“Thus Spake The Nightspirit.”
Thus spake the nightspirit:
”The world is turning still.”

Turning on as if it is
Part of a divine will

In the halls of happiness
There find the bride’s focus

Outside in the garden
Find the blooming crocus

There behind the garden wall
Worms run all around

And the nighthawk stands to attention
In the summer’s ground

But elsewhere, elsewhere, they heard the call
Eleswhere, elsewhere, took up the song
Elsewhere, elsewhere, they sang the tune
And elsewhere they went out, by the moon

Many souls called by the insatiable
Spirits of the hills

To the wild outer lands
They came to see their fills

But as the loon’s sound echoes nearby
Some of these would not make it by

They came to hear and to heed
But for them was not the cry

The old fisherman with his silver rod
Finds himself at an end and odd

The young mother whose dying breath
Sends her kin to untimely death

The old preacher who must face the stand
And begin again without God’s hand

The businessman with nothing but trust
Must give it all up to begin to lust

A young woman raped at a railway station
A wearied mage with no use to the nation

An old sorceror with none more to give
And a young magician with no life to live

All these had dreams, hopes and ideals
All these went out to make them real

But Fate is a master hard to please
Alas, the world was not for these

Thus spake the nightspirit:
”The world shall turn once more.”

And so do we all, turn anew.

Can they be poems from famous poets?

 

[Old Thunder]

I would prefer if we keep this thread for our own poetry. Those kinds would fit better in their own thread.

Here I sit
All broken-hearted
Tried to ****
But only farted

 

[Old Thunder]

Here I sit
All broken-hearted
Tried to ****
But only farted

Thank you Snowth, very cool!

A star in the night
A star so bright
One can only hope it comes by just right
We all need a little magic
Even if the outcomes can be tragic
If luck is something we want right now
Then we ask ourselves,
"Oh magic, where are thou?"

*Patiently waits for Grammar Nazi 1,000 Eyes to go ballistic over @LittleJerry92's grammatical error of that last sentence.*

 

[LittleJerry92]

Autocorrect on my phone.

 

[Old Thunder]

“Where are thou?”

 

[LittleJerry92]

Yes yes, I corrected it.
