My challenge is for everyone to write a short poem, or a long one if you wish, about your feelings on life itself. It can be anything from life being dull, and boring...to it being fantastic, interesting, and exciting!!! Good luck!!! I look forward to reading some great poems! ------------------ ~*JuLiEt*~ |

Life Life is only what you take it for If you don't it's like a closed door If you seize the moment, dreams come true Just remember that in all you do. Never take for granted what you've got And always shoot for the dreams you've sought If this you don't do, you're dreams will fade Like ice cubes melting in lemonade. Nothing is worse than a faded dream No matter how bad your life may seem So live and love and never forget All the goals in life you have set. I am a just starting off as a poet and this is one of my first poems. I hope you like it. [This message has been edited by Angel (edited 07-06-99).] |

Life is filled with wondrous sights Like falling snow and hot summer nights The crisp clear air that fill's the nose The songs of birds or turtle's crossing the road Then we have the fall and spring what Beautiful colors that they bring The brisk winds carrying autumn leaves The sound the wind makes in the trees The first real heat on a warm spring day Open the window's to let in the air `Tis spring the cleaning months we share When all around us comes new life As young love blossoms fill the air The sent of flowers everywhere As men and women go hand and hand And again new birth fill's the land As Son's and Daughters take their plight Off to war they go to fight To stand for honor and liberty To keep our country safe and free Red white and Blue old Glory waves In the land of the free and the home of the brave Yet in streets and playground war they play And they take our baby's every day As we lay them down to sleep Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall The season of pain is in them all Yes life is filled with wondrous sights Like the North Star that once burned bright And gave us twinkling colored Christmas lights We need to stop and see the light And love each other, wrong or right |

Memories can be both good and Bad Memories can be both happy and Sad So how can we tell the difference in These Unlock the question with gentle Ease Take a look and make a Choice With a listen to their Voice Listen to mine and you will See That I'm as sad as sad can Be No place to go, no where to Head Lies were believed by what the other one Said No case to present, no truth be Told Love was bought, stolen, and then it was Sold Through the clouds there is a Light That shows to me I'll be Alright So take my hand I'll show you Too That all you need in life is You! This poem basically says that in life no matter how many friends you have or how close to your family you are, the only person who is trully going to help you get over any pain or obstacle is you. (and a little help from above!) |

Life I loved that glossy magazine, Pictures of places I'd never seen, Captions explaining every scene, Large as life on a movie screen. Life I loved the stories in its pages, Grief and joy, sorrow, rages, Personalities of fools and sages, Loves and hates, and how they engage us. Life The price seemed high in my youth, How could I know the price of truth, The price of seeing visual proof, Oh glorious Life, how I've missed you. Life what?.... NOT the magazine??? You didn't mean the Magazine???? oops... never mind... (slinking off in embarrassment...) [This message has been edited by LngJhnAg (edited 08-21-99).] |

Life is life, what can one say? It's how you live and love each day. A bird's sweet trill, a rising sun. A kiss goodnight, a soulful song. It's what we do and how we act. It's not what "ain't", or what we lack. Enjoy you friends, your family too. Just be yourself, 'cause "life" is you! ------------------ Everyone has a photographic memory... ...most of us just don't have film! |

Day Blue Regimented aerials point the way to the world, As clouds scurry past, Past Offices and trees That seem to fall from the sky Rain spatters the window In denial of the sky’s brightness. Should I go out? I have no reason to But these walls crush me. Sometimes the only voices I hear Are on the TV and Radio ‘though I live close to a million souls The skyscape calls to me But I have no answer for it Perched between the suburbs and the city Spirit dampened by lethargy Buoyed up by imagination I live within myself. The air will do me good But signs of life will do more The room brightens as the sun Appears from behind the clouds And the city gleams invitingly In answer to my decision I will go. |

endless and wasting its way into a captive display of endless refrain. Misery is such grievous delight that much insight into the mind of mankind will surely find a longing for the night. Wisdom will always pay the price of an endless day that does entice the sight with heady lust and a longing for mistrust of the Light. ------------------ Shall I indulge in flights of fancy hampered by clipped wings?

dear DreamEvil, this is I think more in reply to you. read on Hey!! Just “SMILE” Smile - when all your efforts go to vain Smile - the returns are more than the pains Smile - when you know you are to win Smile - even when the losses are in Smile - when your heart is heavy with fun Smile - when every wish is as far as the sun Smile - when everything is found Smile - even when you are in doubt Smile - that’s all you need to do. You’ll find - how “many” of those woes become “few”. |

Life, As fleeting as a moment in a dream, Whispering secrets to use every day, Which we sadly choose to ignore. Resourceful and within the power of our molding, Yet we let it go on the winds of sarcasm, And constant pain. I'd be the world if I could, And have but one thought to be happy, Never wanting to ruin the mystery, By always needing to know everthing. I'd remove the eccentricity, So that could all be more open, To the possibilities of life's potential. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Okay, so it is rusty, and may not meet said challenge, but this helps me release some of my clutter at the least. Thanks for the challenge. |
