ok peeps... here’s the deal I've been saying I'm going to be a round more, and I have a little but haven't really been able to read a whole lot of poems, but in about a week and a half my life is going to become a lot simpler and I shall have the luxury time to spend here. Anyhow it's good to reunite whit all the friends I made earlier but there are so many new faces that I don't really know so I'm bringing back an old challenge. It's called I am. Someone started it in the Poetry Challenge forum, and it spread through out the others. Anyhow the challenge is to write a poem in the following format: ---------------------------------------------------- I am (two special characteristics you have) I wonder (something you are actually curious about) I hear (an imaginary sound) I see (an imaginary sight) I want (an actual desire) I am (the first line of the poem repeated) I pretend (something you actually pretend to do) I feel (a feeling about something imaginary) I touch (an imaginary touch) I worry (something that really bothers you) I cry (something that makes you very sad) I am (the first line of the poem repeated) I understand (something you know is true) I say (something you believe in) I dream (something you actually dream about) I try (something you really make an effort about) I hope (something you actually hope for) I am (the first line of the poem repeated) --------------------------------------------------- Well if you got writers block some times this is a good way to get out of it too, but if you don't like this format or are just struggling with it don't waste your time trying to conform, simply write a poem titled 'I am'... any how here was the one I wrote back in the day when I had the time and creative energy to write poems: ~ I am ~ I am a dreamer, I am a realist too I wonder if my dreams, will ever come true I hear my dreams, silenced by my mind I see my future clearly, also undefined I want to choose, one of two I am a dreamer, I am a realist too I pretend that I am destined I feel I should be questioned I touch the edge of my desires, but they're always out of grasp I worry only I, will hear my dying gasp I cry alone, without a clue I am a dreamer, I am a realist too I understand, that I'm duplex I say that life, is too complex I dream my dreams, all come true I try to conquer, and subdue I hope that I, will come through I am a dreamer, I am a realist too [This message has been edited by IsGona (edited 04-14-2001).] |

This sounds like a pretty cool challenge.. I'll start working on it  Great idea --Marie subconsciously, i think i can eat so much to make my stomach hurt, instead of my heart. |

I was hoping to get more unfamiliar faces in here, but I'm very interested in hearing the takers I already have |
