This is from the Poetry Workshop. It should have been something called "personification". LOL,I didn’t succeed, but it still is a poem.  Icy cold blood like a river a bitter heart dark as the night the sunshine’s making me shiver no diff’rence between wrong or right Falling from heights beyond measure into the Devil’s lurid ache such pain in finding a treasure a universe made of real fake Yet the rain purifies my soul and innocent laughter my heart begone with all pity my goal for living itself is an art So I’ll let the sun embrace me and peaceful waters flow inside from now on I’ll see life’s beauty accept life as low and high tide Life, precious and full of delight gift from the Almighty above with all that is in me I’ll fight for it’s life itself that I love Munda  |

Great poem, Munda! I like the imagery...kinda downcast intro, but that's okay, there are no rules in poetry (and I take that to my advantage too). Really great piece!  Little Spyro T. Dragon "Weird?! No, 'weird' is when you apply your human rules to where they shouldn't be applied. That's why it seems strange to you." --Ttark |

"Life, precious and full of delight gift from the Almighty above with all that is in me I’ll fight for it’s life itself that I love"...... Munda, this is so beautiful, I dont know what you were "trying" to write in the worshop, but the end result is a lovely piece of work.

Loved this! My favorite line was...."a universe made of real fake" The ending was so inspiring too! Joy "To you, my children, These lovely flowers I give. Prune ye my vines and fig trees, With care my flowerets tend, But keep the pathway open, Your home is at the end." -Robert Frost (from: God's Garden) |

If your purpose was to go from "black" to "white" or evil to good, or cold to warm, you succeeded quite well. Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

"...with all that is in me I’ll fight..." I really like that line Munda. You did a great job of reeling me in!  "...at night I cling to you I'm so afraid; afraid the day will come and I'll wake up and find you gone. But you promise that you'd not abandon me and kissed my fears away but I woke up to that day..." 'Waking up Beside You' by Stabbing Westward |

Munda, this is not just a poem, it is a very lovely one! I like your conclusion, too. Life is a pretty good thing, despite the dark times. And I don't think Dutch are weird. I've met some very nice ones.To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Wikket, always a pleasure to see your name. Thank you. Kaile, I'm sorry to hear life gave you such a hard time, but I'm glad you love life enough to continue. kcsgrandma, thank you for your kind words but.. uh...I am a little weird. I happen to have multiple personalities, but thank goodness they stay in the 'Stute.  Time to let this oldie go folks. High time for a new poem |
