I'm old and cold and rather unsold
Bold is my mold as I've been told
Good as gold, and rolled to the fold
Set in my hold, and untold, in the wold

3 AnswersPoetry9 years agoHow close would my poem be to an actual rap song?
I got chills and a fever and my knees wobble bad,
The thumping noise in my head is making me sad
My hair stands on end and my skin is warm to touch
I'm sweating all over and it's getting all too much.
I can't sleep at night but I'm dozing all day long
My mind is unclear so there must be something wrong
I can't stand the light that is shining in my face
I feel like I'm stuck somewhere out of place
My appetite is gone and I'm thirsty all the time
I've tried the lemon tea with a single slice of lime
My stomach growls angrily and aches like a pain
It's getting so much now that I think I'm now insane.

5 AnswersPoetry9 years agoIs it possible that anyone can relate to this poem, comments please?
I wanted to learn I.T. so i went and bought a computer
The software was hard to learn so I also hired a tutor
Studied many hours till dawn but all to no avail
And now I lie in my bed writing about this sad tale
I tried and tried and tried and tried and got no where fast
What the heck is a variable and does it go in first or last?
i wrote a sub routine but the concept didn't really sink in
I tore up all my study notes and threw them in the bin.
I played a PC first shooter game to ease all the frustration
But as the many hours passed I felt very little elation
Where is the exit to this level and how do I find those secrets?
It's all enough to give you that syndrome, that is called Tourettes.
I tried out the printer for some other notes I wrote last night
What is that noise the printer makes that gives you such a fright?
It whirrs and whizzes so much, it made me a nervous wreck
Finally it stops, ready to print, I almost rang for the Tech.
Printer Jam! What the ... WHAT? I really don't understand
This is all way over my head and is not as I had planned.
I've rung the local Charity shop to see if they want all my gear
And when it is all been taken away, I doubt that I'll shed a tear.
5 AnswersPoetry9 years agoIs my poem scarey, silly, or just plain goofey fun or none of the above (rate and comment)?
Twisted and creepy, the troll he does snarl
He lives with his mother and his name is Carl
His mother is pretty and his father is long gone
But has a pet gator whom he calls Ron.
Carl wanders the street but mainly at night
He likes to scare people into a big fright
They run and scream and cry and hide
As carl shakes his fists from side to side.
One time ago Carl came up to an old man
The man wasn't scared, his name was Stan
The old feller had his seen a lot of scarey things
And Carl wasn't as bad as a dog with bat wings
They both became good friends, two peas in a pod
Stan liked lamb and chicken and Carl preferred cod
One day Stan got sick and died a few days later
And Carl, like a good mate, fed Stan to his gator.
7 AnswersPoetry9 years agoCa you rate and comment on my new poem that I wrote just now?
Birds of a flock, they gather in droves
Too many at once, they smell of cloves
Droppings all over, splatting the ground
Nothing is hidden but nothing is found
A sudden pop and there is a flutter of wings
They jump up in fright droppinf all their things
Scared and lost, they scatter so quickly
Leaving behind, a scene so sickly
Through the air they rush wild and free
Flying at speeds as if no one could see
Stopping only to rest when they feel safe
To cleanse their body from dust and chafe.
3 AnswersPoetry9 years agoCould you please comment and rate my new poem?
Oh joy, the flowers are blooming once more.
Sunshine is out and the rains no longer pour.
Clouds have cleared and the wind is ever so mild,
The plants show praise by swaying in the wild.
Animals abound like the deer and rabbits and birds,
They squawk and squeal as if it's their way with words.
The stream flows briskly with fish and other life
None of them wary of the recent wintery strife.
5 AnswersPoetry9 years agoDo you really want me to write a poem as most know I'm not very good (comment)?
Do you really want me to write a poem as most know I'm not very good?
I suppose I could do one about the people in the local neighbourhood,
Maybe I could create a rhyming piece that would amuse you one and all,
But it might turn out rather awkward-looking as my timing is fairly dismal.
I do like to criticize poetry written by other people who think they can write,
And though I'm rather clever about it, not many agree with my insight.
I do give good comments but sometimes a poem is not to my liking or taste,
It seems that people spend too much effort on works that is a time of waste.
Let me see, how should I start? Do I begin with a question or a simple line?
Perhaps I could just write along a bit and all will turn out fine.
I like to write about inanimate objects rather than romance or hellish things,
It is easier to define a landscape than to explain my emotional upbringings.

3 AnswersPoetry10 years agoDoes my poem about being a teenager makes any sense?
Times are tough for teens anew
Life is long and very askew
Social skills do bring new friends
And foes do not make any ammends
Learning lessons takes much time
Right through life into their prime
Looks and beauty are shallow needs
But flowers are nicer than ugly weeds
Thoughts of issues can turn their mind
To wastelands of dread so very unkind
Passing puberty can be distraughtful
For the unwary, it's so unthoughtful
Later teens think they are mature
But really are just so simple and pure
Heading for that start of adulthood
May stop some, if only that they could.

6 AnswersPoetry10 years agoDo you like my short story that has a sort of rhyming pattern?
"Where is Kate?" thought Mrs Tate "she is very late for this date." It's ten to eight, should she wait or leave it to fate for her to meet Nate. She opened the gate then sat on a crate, in a bit of a state as her teeth did grate, Will she exonerate if she brings a plate that will sate the new guys' palate?
He was a good mate, that guy named Nate, for her daughter called Kate. A man who was straight, danced with a gyrate, and could also skate. She had a bit of weight, but did highly rate, even though was often late. There is much to deliberate when arranging a date, using food as a bait.
The clock chimed eight and just arrived is Nate, He walked through the gate, past the crate, as Mrs Tate stood up and greeted Nate. There was not a sign of Kate, she was late!
Look, here comes Kate! Sorry to be late. But she did bring a plate. And they all sat down and ate.

3 AnswersPoetry10 years agoDoes my poem have a sense of not wanting to be outdone (please critique)?
Woods fly in darkness spreads and birds ease their wiles,
Sparse the land as dusk does spawn, keep the simple styles,
Lifting sun and moon between and many a noise does spark,
A single breath of clouded sky, the scene does show its mark.
Around the sea and in the depth, a shadow crawls silently,
Eyes are wide and rounded squares, not so intently,
Shifting sands and dust aloft sparring with the rocks,
Lapping waves of raging sides sets the rigid locks.
Mounds deplete the gentle roll, slaying the folding tide,
Stars are brisk and piercing, calling for a gentle ride,
Enlightened smiles of harmony bearing the sailing leaves,
East is West and North is South, neither have their grieves.

1 AnswerPoetry10 years agoIs my poem about meal preparation good enough to eat?
The hint of mint is succinct to the taste of meat
Much ado is for you to prepare such a feat
Spice is nice, once or thrice, and add a bit of salt
The cook must look so there is not to be a fault.
To be sure, the temperature, must not be overly high
Otherwise the meal just dries and everyone will sigh
Dinner is a winner when it's made to a perfection
Win or lose it's best to use an oven with convection.
