....finish last
"Your a good guy
But I'm
Just
Not
Interested.
I want to be
free.
single."
free?
single?
You gave him your heart
so he can wrap it
under his warmth?
The last time I checked,
It took too to make a couple...
Better left hidden
We follow the path
of dry blood
It ends.
The smell of death,
and the sewer where this tunnel begins in
hit the detectives and I.
"Oh my!"
"What an awful sight!"
I stare at the path, do I want to look up?
Slowly, I raise my head
All covered in maggots
eating away at his good soul
Lied the dead body of Timothy.
I fall on my knees
Tears
Fall
Down
My
Face
He was better off hidden...
away
from life.
A Dream Within A Dream (my response to the poem by Edgar Allen Poe)
Dreams,
The chirstmas wishlist of our minds
Goals we have to go chase.
Things we need to put our hearts,
and our souls on.
As I watch the shore,
The sand clutched in my fist.
I wish He didn't take you away!
I need you back!
Dreams,
The things we put our hearts
and souls on.
They are usually our wildest desires,
but the widlest desires
Never come true
Dreams,
The smile to our tears ,
A good way to hide the pain.

True love
Doesn't have to be perfect
It doesn't have to fit perfectly
Like a solved puzzle
It just has to make people happy =]
Love can be in the smallest of sizes,
Different cultures
Different backgrounds and ways of life
Even mice can have find their better half
Mice,
the test subject of the world
They are seen as pests
Nothing but a little thing cralwing around trash
Picture two of them,
in a glass case
Together
and a white glove pulling their love away by its tail
Why should you care?
Because just because your not smaller than your hand
Doesn't mean your worth nothing
True love,
Doesn't have to be perfect,
but shouldn't be messed with!
Intention: I think when two people love each other a lot there are some obstacles that get in the way of their relationship. Someone has to speak up and rain on their parade and break it up some how. That would be so cruel and unfair and nobody would want that to happen to them so, don't do it to somebody else! Even animals, like dogs or mice should be mistreated in anyway no matter how their seen, as little rats that don't have hears, minds or feelings, thats like animal crueilty.
Anger management
Something goes wrong
And strikes a nerve
I need to go away
Away, from life
For a while
I head for the door, the two ear phones
I put them in my ear
And I listen to the calming music
I don't have to say what I feel
I just have to escape,
Into the music
That extungushies the raging inferno
for another day.
Intention: This next poem was dedicated to a good friend of mine who has a crush on a girl, 5-7 months ago, he asked her out and he got rejected and is still feeling bad. I want him to move on and live life without regret and this poem is for him.
This is your reality check!
Wake up!
Your asleep
In so deep.
This is your reality check.
Get out of fantasy land
You played your cards wrong
and you didn't stay strong
You broke apart into a puzzle
that only YOU can put back
together
This, is your reality check
We're in the middle of class
get of your ass!
You two will never hold hands
running, on the grass
This making you eat glass
This, is your reality check.
Months have passed
And she is the past
spreads your wings at last
This, is your reality check!
The Playground
The playground,a tough place to be in
There will always be a bully
Trying to steal your animal crackers
Or your PB&J w/o the crust
There will be kids picking on you
Or to give you the cooties
If no one lets you play catch,
Or tag with them,
Or if they knock down your blocks
Get off your diaper
And be the bigger kid in the playground
Like Glass
Your a brick wall
You have jokes
You have "everything"
Everyone knows your name,
That's what you think
Your seen as
Your like glass
The ones who are far back
Can see right through you
Glass so fargile
Your just like glass,
When you get over your head,
You go crashing down
Shattering, into sharp pieces
Cause that's just what you are
Broken pieces
That will never be put back
Together
Intention: I wanted to write this poem because I have recently dealt with people who I think have different sides to them and make them seem like they are something that they are not and I think, I'm reading their personalities like an open book and another idiom , or symbolism like this is glass. You can see right through it and has many characteristics I can relate to life.
What is, an emergency?
An emergency for one
Isn't an emergency for some
An emergency for one can
be attended right away
no worries
He or she wont have to stay
In a uncomfortable chair
Why should that person care?
An emergency for some
Is not treated as fast,
everyone is tie to be dead last
Everyone watches the TV until they time has come
They die of bordom, thats no fun.
Run! Run hands of the tick tock clock
When will these doctors attend to them?
The people will bust down the door
When the point comes
They can take any more!
Intention: Recently I had to go to the emergency room, it was so crowded, it was so crowded I felt better on the D train at 8 a.m. I waited 6 hours before I could be seen at felt at the doctor like nothing big was going on. If I was the onlt one there, they would have attended to me right away, but an emergency for 50 people is like waiting for a regular appointment. That was when I thought I wanted to write a poem about this, the idea behind this, I thought was interesting how emergencies could be placed in order of importance.

Nice work joey! i think the last two lines of your first poem could be moved after "single?"...maybe? i don't know it seems like they are nice lines that belong, but just earlier.

"Dreams/the smile to our tears" is a great line.
I think your poems are really coming along nicely. Which ones do you think you want to spend more time with? "This is your reality check" is cool. I Think you repeat that line, but you could almost use it as a structure you know? Maybe even start with that line. Nice job!!
