Writing Prompt: Poem

Writing Prompt: Poem

Today's Write On Writing Prompt comes to us from WerewolfCat5 who leaves the door wide open to be creative!

"Write a poem describing whatever you want. Or a paragraph. Anything is game! If it’s your newest crush, or how your baby brother spit up on your favorite shirt, or your feelings on pizza day at school, feel free to write it up! See how creative you can get."

This is one I did based on the huge pile of dishes that accumulates in my sink every night.

Dishes. Dishes, oh dishes. How I hate doing the dishes.
If I could have three wishes, one would be not to do the dishes.
You pile up in the sink and seem to mock me.
My dish gloves are so soapy, will I ever break free?

I’m still working on a happy ending for that one. . . What about you guys? Write your poem or paragraph in the Comments below!

I write a lot of poems, so here is one I wrote.
Death of a Character
By Elfheroine1

My heart melts like the snow,
Every time, that they go.
My face wet with tears,
As I’m forced to face my fears,
That everyone dies, some point in time,
Even these characters, that I call mine.
My heart, a million pieces, of shattered glass,
Every single time, that they pass.
Each book I read, may bring pain and sorrow,
But I’ll always read again, tomorrow,
In hope their deaths, will be avenged,
In hope that I, will have revenge,
On these evil characters, that bring me pain,
On these evil characters, that make my world, grey clouds and rain.
But a bit of comfort, is always in,
Knowing Justice, will eventually win.
So I’ll pick up my book, again,
While my heart is on the mend.

~Dedicated Mara Jade Skywalker~
I wrote that after I read Legacy of the Force Sacrifice. I sobbed so hard when Mara died.

Imagination

[Comment #11]

Early morning chill
The gray light before sunrise
This is the time
When everything just…
I don't quite know how to describe it
It's almost like a dream, yet too real.
Yet still, this time before sunrise
Strikes me as the most ethereal

[Comment #12]

~A NEW DAY~
The stars shine brightly,
twinkling in the night sky.
The clouds float freely,
traveling across the skies.
The breeze gently nudges us,
and the leaves rustle on their branches.
The birds chirp from their nests,
ready for a new day to begin.

-----

~A WAVE~
It creeps along the shore
Up to the beach
Gently splashing
Droplets of water
On the shore.
Another one
Comes along
Right behind it.
Helping it along,
Pushing it and drowning it
Another one tiptoes behind,
Judging it's time carefully
As soon as both are drowned
WHOOSH!
It splashes the shore.
That's the intelligent one.

[Comment #22]

the chill i feel in the morning
the breeze i feel in the ocean
the cold from the winter weather
the hot from summer
the colorful leaves in the fall
the warm and colorful/friendly in the spring
the rain in april
the barks from my dog
the fun on my b-day
the sadness of a funeral
the freshness of the mountains
the freezing of antartica
the sunniness of brazil
the tasty food on a plate
the hungryness of our lifes
the homes needed
the care/love needed
the money needed
the jobs we need
the health that is required

our life our community our worl and our recposability

[Comment #23]

my poem is on?

[Comment #24]

Wow you guys are great with poems you should actually do something with them. Go somewhere , where you think will be a good place to find someone to publish your poem BUT under your name make sure you write it in something permanent so that person doesn't steal it .

[Comment #25]
