The sun shines on the river,
Bright as a halo
Shining like a star.
The river is clear, relaxing
Beautiful.
The beauty of the river calls out for me
It calls to me, saying,
Come here, dear.
No need to fear.

I take out my camera and take some pictures
The sun shines,
Shining on me
Making me as bright as the river.
I breathe in the air, the pure air of nature
Nature, my closest friend

A poem about nature and my photography of it.

Ok, this isnā€™t exactly a poem, itā€™s a little story with added poetryā€¦ (iā€™m too inspired and want to get it all out)
based on a true story, it would mean a lot to me if you read it

How would it feel, if life had given you another chance? If you had a one of a kind opportunity to meet that one person who made you feel as if nothing mattered in this world, it was only you, this person and life itself? Wellā€¦ i would take this chance.
I am sitting there on the beach, staring at this beatiful view, the calming sea, thinkingā€¦ suddenly i hear a noise, i look behind me and itā€™s my friend, a bright smile appears across my face. He sits beside me, staring at the view, saying how much he missed me. ā€œI missed you moreā€ i respond, i rest on his shoulder, feeling relieved, thinking how happy i am my best friend is back, ā€œi thought i would never see you againā€. For a second there is silence, that silence that makes you start to worry, ā€œYeahā€¦ me tooā€ he said. sighs, ā€œBut i am not leaving again, i will always be hereā€ , of course i believe him, we are inseperable, neither me or him would leave each other, he has always been my rock, like back in elemenary school, when i got in a fight with a classmate, once he saw me cry, he quickly came to comfort me, saying ā€œitā€™s okay, itā€™s overā€. I really admire him for how strong he is. I tear drops down my cheek, i suddenly feel a weigh on me, i can no longer feel the calming sea, no longer see the beautiful view, i only feel the storm coming ā€œIā€™m sorryā€ i say while crying, i start to hold him tighter, ā€œi never meant to neglect youā€ i respond. He hugs me back ā€œNo, donā€™t be sorry, i am always here, remember?ā€ he says ā€œI know you didnā€™t mean itā€ he sheds a tear. And thenā€¦ his grip starts to loosen, ā€œyou are really strong, Maria, you got through a lot, i have faith in youā€ , i begin to let go of his hug, ā€œI never stopped caring, i wouldnā€™t want you to dwell in the past, i wanna see you move on with your life, just donā€™t forget meā€ and he fades away. It was all my imagination, suddenly i donā€™t rest on him, i only feel the sand, i was laying on the sand all this time. More tears drop down my cheeks, ā€œi wonā€™t forget you, trust meā€ i say and keep on laying on the sandā€¦

Iā€™m terrified that Iā€™m just alive
to try to survive.
But I want to be alive
to try and live my life.

This just popped into my head I looked for a thread to write it down :sweat_smile:

The bad poet with a love for poetry

The bad poet with a love for poetry

Iā€™m bad at writing poems and just come up with things that happen to rhyme.
Whether itā€™s only a few sentences or a 2-page, grammatical crime.
It can sometimes look a bit messy and some of the words, just seem very unfit.
But you know what? I fu*king love it!
As poetry is more than the rules in a book dictating how you should do it.
It can also be an amazing art form that lets you express intense feelings and emotions, in ways of you see fit.

Well most of my poems are usually dark and depressing , this one ended up strangely uplifting .

Hereā€™s an awful poem I wrote in 6th grade :joy:

My parents werenā€™t there
To take me to the fair
So then I got mad,
and then they got sad.
So instead I went to the park
But my dog started to bark
So I took my dog home
And gave him a bone.

I should write another poem hereā€¦
(A poem about healing)

Spring

The flowers bloom in the glowing sun
They smile at me as I walk by.
ā€œHello,ā€ they say.

I canā€™t help but be captured by the mere beauty of simple flowers
Theyā€™re just flowers.
Flowers in the spring

Little flowers, big flowers,
They want nothing from me
Just like I donā€™t want anything from them.

I breathe in the beautiful smell of nature.
Daffodils, roses, sunflowers, tulips:
Hope, beauty, happiness, and peace.

I hope to have beauty
For happiness to have peace.
Nothing but love, like these flowers.

I will grow like these flowers
Grow high to the sky
And have hope, happiness, beauty and peace.

Oh my god why did I post this Iā€™m not a poet I hate this

I post poems on Wattpad. My poems books are ā€œMeet Me by the Seaā€ where I just have poems on my experiences under an ocean aesthetic and ā€œThe Quiet Clubā€ which is all about introverts.

I want to share a poem I wrote last year from ā€œMeet Me by the Seaā€ about struggling to talk to someone:

Message In a Bottle
The words are stuck.
The pen wonā€™t work.
The speech is sharp.
To speak will hurt.

My message in a bottle,
I sent it far away.
In a sea of secrecy,
because I donā€™t know what to say.

Inside is the fear,
all those things I canā€™t say.
Consuming little bits of hope,
so Iā€™m sending it away.

Inside is the hate,
the words that burn.
Better to spark than to scorch,
a hard thing to learn.

Inside is giving up,
dismissal dressed as a lie.
I know youā€™ll never understand,
so I wonā€™t even try.

They say itā€™s just so easy,
to say what you mean.
The outcome unravels in my head
like a colourful woven scene.

They laugh but I donā€™t see the joke.
They hurt when there is no pain.
They are confused where the lines make sense,
and I have to repeat myself again.

So I sent these words in a bottle,
I sent them far away.
Head below the waves,
of an ocean of things Iā€™ll never say.
