I will start here. Then we can vote who has written the best poem...............

"orion"

the celestial wisps of incandescent light are falling tonight
and we catch them like snowflakes of splendor and gleam
glitter silver moon, time stands frozen and unabated
satellites spin until I bleed with the essence of love and time
I fall into you arms, I fall into your arms, and my heaven falls
the sun turns blue and the light is calling you
the birds sigh and the winds cry, beneath the ground, love shakes lost
with shouts of fire and the hearts in bloom, I search for the never-ending sky of you
I conduct a symphony of sound tonight, through the speakers, the sound sinks into the celestial sphere at night
your pretty face and eyes of blue, inside your heart is heaven true
forever and always, I am with you, forever and always, I am with you
crystal sips of heaven entwined in you, heart soft lullaby consuming my mind, soft this dream is mine, and gathering through the deepest reaches of time, dust is pulsating and surrounds the angels who are dreaming of you
but only I can dream of you, in the days of autumn and the hours and minutes of winter
your skin melts against mine, like it has done in seasons before

Who wants to try next? I am a poet as well as a weather fanatic

Childhood Places



I see the landscape in my mind

Of a place I left behind

I remember every tree~

That is what it’s meant to me.

We couldn’t do anything wrong

On those summer days all gone

I remember those moments past~

Kids always think the fun will last.

Growing up was far away

From the rocky shore where we would play

But then I turned around to see

The years have spun away from me

And the loved ones that I held so dear

Are lost to me~ no longer near

As wrinkles settle upon my face

I’m longing for that childhood place.

My dreams know all the roads to take

On my journey to that lake

To spend time with you when I can

Where we are children once again.

there once was a man from peru

who dreamed he was eating his shoe

he woke with a fright

in the middle of the night

to find that his dream had come ture

Hello there little bird
With your beak pressed up against
The Bakery window........
We have no bread crumbs
For you today.......
Only Death

Sitting here at this dusty table,
White skin covered in black,
Pondering to write this fable,
Waiting for the long black train,

Fellowmen under the earth,
Digging, Digging, Digging,
Waiting for fuel to celebrate it's birth,
As I am falling alseep...

Shawn, that is awesome. For real.

"Ahem."
*shuffles papers*

Somewhere beyond me, there lies a peace, I never knew I was missing.
Drowning in the seas of life, I was waiting for you to come fishing.
You showed me calm, you showed me love, always after you I followed.
I slip, I fall, you pick me up and tell me time is borrowed.
I make in myself, the best things from you, the lessons learned, the wisdom you knew.
But now you're gone, and here I sit, thinking of things you said.
You told once, "No matter how hard, no matter how long, there is a peace to be found in the end."

Tut, tut, Mr. Goat, Where it says edit, I spelled peace, piece. I'm trying a little harder because I'm afraid that you'll jump out of a corner and hit me.

Can you think that this would happen to me,
an EF2 tornado that I can see,
The first EF2 since 1991,
but I'm the only one that likes the sun,
and I didn't like this,
during then I really wanted a kiss,
that would make everything better,
but the heavy rain is making everything wetter,
what an amazing storm I never thought this could be.

*comes out wearing old feudalistic Japan kimodo*

Here is a Haiku (575 format)

Watching worlds collide.
I wait at the pole for you.
Together we watch.
