If I were a poet, Would I speak in rhyme Would my friends tell me To shut up all the time? If I were a poet Could I find my muse Would it be just mine The only one I use If I were a poet Would it fulfill my wishes Would I have to do laundry And wash the dishes Ok…listen up! I’ve got TWO challenges for you! ONE: Everyone write a verse or two to follow this poem..it must begin with the same line I’ve used – If I were a poet – The second challenge is to go to the Announcement Forum for a very important notice about a new feature we are testing at Passions! The first 5 teens who sign up for the program will be the testers!!! So….on your mark…get set..wait! don’t forget to come back and write a verse!…….GO!

If I were a poet Would I be in a book To live forever on a page For all to take a look If I were a poet Would life fall into place Would it be perfect? Would I be a famous face If I were a poet Would I get my bug My beautiful dream car A car I would hug Or, if I were a poet Would I get something more Something money can't buy Something I would die for If being a poet Got me to this Well, I'd better start writing To get this bliss! OK, that was stupid, but that's the best I can do right now... I rode in a VW Bug for the first time a few mins ago!!!  "To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world" |

If I were a poet, Could I speak of bold things Like love and justice And princes and kings? If I were a poet, Would I then understand The mys'tries of nature And the workings of man? If I were a poet, Would I know how to count stresses Or how to write verses that were of a proper length and not too long or short? Or learn how to rhyme? sincerely, jerome the non-poet A savage place! as holy and enchanted As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted By woman wailing for her demon-lover! ~Coleridge |

If I were a poet Would anyone see How much poetry Means to me? If I were a poet Would life be complete? Would I have my answers In rythym and beat? If I were a poet It would be so divine To write a poem And call it mine If I were a poet I would surely not be A person washing dishes That wouldn't be me here's my poem..same line "Superiority to fate is difficult to learn. 'Tis not conferred by any, but possible to earn"--Emily Dickinson-"Superiority of Fate" |

If I were a poet, Would my blood not be red? Without words to be put in verse, Would I, on the inside, be dead? If I were a poet, Would life be made easier? Or with comedic poetry, Would it be only cheesier? If I were a poet, Would my words be more profound? Would my speech move mountains, And would fanfare abound? If I were a poet, Could I think of one more verse, To submit to a magazine, To help fill my empty purse? So how ya guys like it? I am not a poet, I am merely one who speaks in emotion |

If i were a poet Would my words come alive Like the dead walking in night For the stars, would i still strive If i were a poet Would the world see me the same Or through the eyes of another Like it were just a game It i were a poet Would i be armed against pain Would i earn a reward Would i have something to gain It i were a poet I would no longer be blue For my heart would have it's desire And now i bid all of you, Adieu. "It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh it's my mouth that pushes out this breath..."-FTE |

Hey! You did great with this challenge....NOW for the good news! I've decided to allow the nine teens who've signed up in the Announcements Forum to participate in the test of the Mentor program! A Lounge forum is being set up for the Mentoring teams to use for whatever purpose you choose...(It should be ready by Sunday)... If anyone else wants to sign up, please do so! In 3 weeks when the test program is done, if it's a success, everyone will be invited to join. We'll be posting the official rules soon (you knew there had to be some didn't you?! LOL) and since this is a test, we will probably fine tune them before we are ready to officially open the program. At any time if you have ANY questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact one of the Moderators here..or you can email me at [email protected] Thanks!

If I were a poet Would I swim in infatuation? Write love poems to my dear What a cuase for speculation. If I were a poet Must I gloat in my happiness Dream of my many rainbows and saturate myself with bliss? If I were a poet What extreme sensations must i feel? What brilliant fantasies must i live? What sudden inspiration must attack me? Regret for things you did maybe tempered by time, regret for things you Didn't do, however, is inconsolable... -------823------- |
