How about a poem about being Vulnerable
with out using- the word Vulnerable, weak, pathetic,need, dependent. others will be fine.


Using-free style

(the shorter the better)

Have fun...

Lying, apathetic
the cool breath of 'morn
awakens my spirit
to go traveling, traversing
along city streets, tramping  
over people and life itself -
I think that I
should retire to sleep
again
because
the daylight crowds my brain
while the night embraces me
with soft kisses.

That is a good poem I liked it alot.  You used the show don't tell technique, which is great for setting an mood or atmosphere. I liked the clear symbols too. well done.

Walking this way i met myself
i looked into my eyes
i looked deep into my own soul
at what lay beneath the skin this skin
i saw my weakness
that eats away at me
i saw the wolf at my door
I saw the darkness deep within me
and how on my life it did draw
i saw a future devoid of hope
i saw a past of wasted dreams
that my friend that was the day
that i reached my end

Take a good look at my face
Well, don't my smile look out of  place
look a little closer its easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Very nice poem I liked the end.  


Kinda dark, but oh well.  I would change the word weakness. The reason I listed those words is that those words are over used. I garentee if you change that word it will make youre poem even better(:

good job,

Far from where I am going

Wandering aimlessly
through a field of black
hovering on what appears to be soil
a crimson tear of terror
streaks throughout the sky
falling to shards
among nothingness
It was the day of my birth
I have deteriorated more
this year than most
as weights of responsibility
have been tied to my throat
It was my birthday today
and never have I been more lost.

(an attempt playing off of my recent birthday on the June 17th. I hope this fills the criteria)

nice use of muffin

No light pours in through tainted glass
This love of woe has come to pass
Though darkness grows with every hour
My heart does seek the one with power
To shine through darkness baring light
Who fights for me with all their might
Who's love is true and stong and sure
Who loving look is all the cure
and though I wait and though I look
What sun does shine upon this book?
It pages old and worn and sad
But inside all will make you glad
Just take a chance to look inside
For all the wonder it can provide
But many looked for just one page
Some saw two but didn't gage
The life there hidden in the words
The life they sought amoungst the birds
Where song is sung and joy is near
But they just couldn't fight the fear
And so the book with aged face
Forever waits there in it's place.

took a journey
my soul and i
above it all~
as spirits
wings kept
sights afar~
when near to heart
the lights grew dim~
as life and love
and truths
never given
all came tumbling in~
    

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~
