Flourishing green in its prime of life
Spinning down a drain pipe
Restricting it
Inspecting every shrewd piece
Its senses alert
Fully focused
Soaking in the suns flaccid rays
Yet at its peak it spirals up even so
Despite obvious dues
To reconcile all important details
And speak
Spite all of the emeralds around
Only technically really
But it still bares down
Pain strikes with repetitive chorus
Of sweet singing voices that let up
And you hear the bang
Feel it
Does it inspire the green grasses?
No
It kills
And it's entirely the ivy's fault
For being there
And not protecting it
Not alright yet
But close
Just good for now

Foreverwithyou: I have been writing stories and things such as that for all my life. Writing has always interested me I guess. But as far as poetry goes, yea, this summer is when I started to write. Thanks for your reply!

I always wanted one of those houses with ivy creeping up on the sides... then again- i'm far from owning a house.

Good write.

Hmmm... I like it, but I do think that a bit of punctuation would make the impact of it even better To me it kinda flowed all together without any punctuation. :/ *grins* Keep at it hun, you can only get better the more you write!

I'm so cute!

Oooh... I love it.  I would just change the one line, "it's the ivy's entire fault," to "it's entirely the ivy's fault," which would sound better.

Punctuation.. blah, who needs it.  Not you, Miss Riley.

Riley~
You never cease to impress me.
This is yet another wonderful write from you,
and as always, I enjoyed reading it.
Very nicely done.
Hugs,

No, you're not a prep. I liked the poem, and the title is a really good way to draw people in.

Howl at the stars, whisper when you're sleeping, I'll be there to hold you, I'll be there to stop the chills and all the weeping.
