Thread: And Now It Begins!!

Tweet

OH I like that Mhooch I can close my eyes and see it

Whirling twirling through the sky
the dance of the leaves
goes fluttering by

floating delicately on the breeze
they float and they spin
with the greatest of ease

glistening by the light of the Sun
a miriad of vibrant fall colors
they fall gracefully one by one

Thanks, spooky, this is fun! Yours are great, too. (As always)

Ah yes, I am keeping a close, watchful eye on this thread....--be sure that I am reading each new poem with great enjoyment!!....

This just goes to show you can never keep a good man down!!! I sent this to my father who proudly served two tours of duty front lines of Vietnam
I am fiercely patriotic ...thank you Dad


Have you ever heard of the marching corpses
they march to and fro each night
standing at attention
a regimen of pure fright

Moaning moldy nearly fleshless bones
yet still they manage formation
clawed out from their grave
they stay true to their vocation

They muster right at midnight
this rotting motley crew
They fill ranks and parade
just like they used to do

No matter their era
or war in which they fought
all our welcome in this company
to the brotherhood it matters naught

If your most lucky and find yourself
able to get quite near
wait until midnight and this is what you will hear

Left Left. Left right left
We are soldiers we own the night
we will march till dawns first light
we may be moldy may be green
that just makes us extra mean
sound off sound off 1-2-3-4 1234

Wow, there's a literature section.

And it's got some good poetry!

So, Q. Is it 1 poem per day, or just collecting a bunch of poems as they come in?

Eh. What the heck.

I DO NOT typically share my stuff. Period.

But, you guys here are something special. Just let me preface anything I post by saying, yes, I know, I am seriously messed up...


Calling

The wind whispered my name
throughout the trees;
A gentle calling,
but I kept walking.

Your name I cried
throughout the air;
And urgent calling,
but you kept walking.

I felt the need
To sit and cry;
A bitter calling;
And yet, I kept walking.

Thanks for posting Unorthodox wonderful poem! As per your question
we hope that at least one person posts a poem a day but I as a personal
goal am trying to post a poem a day myself....I am very glad when many people contribute I love to see everyones creativity... as a side note even if you cant come up with an original poem but you know of a great poem go ahead and post its the sharing of the word that is important and the wonderful Halloween imagery it creates~

This thread is off and running and it's only May!! How excited am I, what a great way to celebrate the season early!!!

Thank you very much for sharing your work with us UnOrthodOx, we are honored....don't stop there, post another one man, you're good!

Nightmare

I cannot fight the torture of sleep any longer
The demons who want me here are so much stronger
My host, in red and brown stripe, waits under a stormy sky
Merciless enjoyment lighting his murderous, ravaged eyes

Please

Heart furiously pounding, my eyes dart in his sharp claw's direction
Blood drains from my face over the murky water's reflection
Masked and steady, a shiny long machete by his side
From the lakeshore he comes for me, with self-assured strides

Don't

Thick woods blanketed by silver moonlight are my only choice
But the flight for my life is cut short by a gravelly voice
Hiding, I listen- his glutteral sounds of frustration are near
Frustration that turns to laughter as his chainsaw's spark rages clear

Hurt

Blindly panicked, with burning lungs, I race for my salvation
Toward anything that will save me from my mind's creation
And suddenly he steps before me- the biggest reason to be afraid
With a ghostly white face, his grip tightens around his butcher's blade

Me

Gasping for air, I bolt upright in the sweat-soaked bed
Terrorized by all the frenzy just inside my own head
Please God, help me--because for all my mind has just seen,
Do I dare face what is patiently waiting for me this Halloween?

Bravo......"thundering applause" Please ...Dont.....Let.....Me.....forget....to .....thank.....you..... spooky smiles my friend I almost feel like my old muse is back ....
