Sparkly poetry

[sparkly1]

lol looks like I found my poetry files tonight (sorry) but I'm gonna end on one with a different tone .

 

Replaceable

 

And when did you alone decide

I had lost my sparkle, and my lustre,

When together we have been far and wide.

 

Shunned by you after all these years

Hardly believing how

You stood up for me against all those sneers.

 

Your new INTEREST she is no patch on me

Yet I’m the one on death row

You’re vibrant little sweet pea

 

Purple passion lilac violet by name

Unlike miss grotty green

Insurance claim.

 

Yet I can hear her smugly laughing

From the other side of this door

Tauntingly she mocks and slyly whispers adieu.

 

My days here I feel are numbered

And there’s nothing I can do

Now my movements all are lumbered.

 

Just drive me away; I know I’ll have to go

There’s no room now in your garage,

For one ageing rusting metro.

I've just finished reading the whole thread. There are some poems here that I really like. As you said in the last one though, the flavour of soup is not going to appeal to all, everyday. But that's OK. All artists find the same thing, they do not appeal to all the people all the time. Thank God for diversity!

ha ha well I have written a new one today, after Mika inspired us to read his poetry blog and I really liked it and the video too, then reading all the comments left there and some really fab poems that some of you lot posted were awesome so anyway here is the first new one I have written in aaaaaaages (don't have time cos I'm Mikafied).

Opinions

 

so who is to say if it meets the mark

are you REALLY qualified

to chalk lines before twisted emotions

still, lemons make me wink and squint

at the self validation of your opinions.

 

So who is to say your opinions are valid

just because you cast them

over many thousands of words

your arrogance is absurd

yet you "know" how much you know.

 

So who is to say how much you know

REALLY qualifies you to have

that twisted emotion with an air of

denied arrogance and acidic snobbery

see this wink, squint and wry smile

 

for your opinions

 

.....YOUR opinions.

i keep missing all these great poems, there isnt a single one i have disliked at the mo, probably because they come accross as powerful and quite strong with emotion and just brilliant in general! Keep it up!! x
