Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Far away: 20 of 187

Sober to see, last night's beers at my feet. From three in the morn', what girl did I meet? Looking north, south, east, and west, No land do I see, all I wear ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Air raids: 1 of 7

Supersonic predators soar to their mark, On a heading of peace, and a mission of right. Air Raids draw scorn, and protest from afar, In spite of our goals, in spite of our might. Cries of the burned, blistered, and battered, From the ominous cloud of dust and death. Shame, metal eagle, of fiery breath, For flying upon our sc...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Silence: 32 of 181

The deafening exposure, to Silence rings loud. Piercing eardrums, of a gathering crowd. What they won't hear, is heard by none. Why do they listen? When Silence is not gone. Open your Mind, if there's nothing to hear. Believe in the Wherewithal, Silence, not Ear. Default from the Whisper, devoid of Noise. Let the sound of Si...

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, time will never tell. It's time for us to be afraid, 'cause Life has lost her Shell. Exposure to the Scandulous Man, She hardly stands a chance.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Pictures: 13 of 34

PICTURE THIS! A picture in your mind, Lays dormant from a time. A time beyond, a time bygone, Where life became, the Death be none. Dare you dream, dare you wake, Sleep deep my souls, a Picture make. When you stir from slumber deep, Cherish Picture stolen, stricken from sleep. Perfect dreams, save awfully hard. Swept away by...
