[glow=white,9,900]This poem is, umm, appropriate, for some people.

Much Madness is Divinest Sense

"Much Madness is divinest Sense--
To a discerning Eye--
Much sense--the starkest Madness
'Tis the Majority
In this, as All, prevail--
Assent-- and you are sane--
Demure--you're straightway dangerous--
And handled with a Chain."

--Emily Dickinson

Why did you have to copy someone elses poem for one on madness, just talking to some on this forum is madness of the purest form

[glow=red,2,300]StormBreakers[/glow]

[glow=orange,2,300]Bursting from the sea they rise

Bringing forth the force of Storm

Breaking the waves rolling the Sky

Spinning on an eye unto the center

Shaking thunder from the voicless clouds

Showing a storm the way to form

Queit they lay awaiting their turn

When set loose the uncontrolled fire

Released in flight strikes the soul from those who do not fear

The Storm they break, for they ar the Storm

Bringing life and death, showing an outer fury and an inner calm

Born between water and air they have mastered both

They are fey and wild moving with a life none save God can control

They are the StormBreakers[/glow]

...I feel much better now, knowing next time someone is on they shall have to suffer my awful poetry alone, for this is what happens when a brain is given too much time to wander

Can we post any poetry here?

[FlightsRelease]

I guess so, I'm assuming thats why the subject is Poetry

[glow=white9,900]Umm, Flight? We live in Florida, did we really need that poem?[/glow]

[Aranel]

Everyone go to the Ent thread and read the poem! I'm so happy with my self! I barely ever write things that ryhme. I will post something here, once I find something I want to post(if that makes any sense at all)

[Iure]

I had to write a riddle for school, and it's rhyming, so I thought i put it up here to see if you know the answer. It still needs working on (especially the third part), but tell me what you think:

When leaving the cradle
From which I was born
I travel the country
Like a wanderer forlorn

I'm place-bound yet running
Not able to stop
Though sometimes I fall
I never get up

Help you live or end your life
To me it's all the same
A friend or a barrier(Not the right words yet)
Tell me, what is my name?

Sounds great, but I'm not good at riddles (they have to be easy for a toddler to solve or I don't get them)

Here is the satire poem i had to write for english (yeah, it's kinda long, and pure tolkienists would really wanna kill me) I put spaces every other line to make it easier to read,

~*)~*~)~*~)~*~)~*~)~*~)~*~)~*~)~*~)~*

Once, on a day far, far long ago,
There lived a hobbit on Bagshot Row.

The hobbit owned a beautiful thing;
It was thought to be an evil ring.

That’s a lie as you will see, the object
Was not just demented project.

The hobbit’s Frodo Baggins, they say.
Frodo was a little bored one day.

He took two friends and a servant
To go with him on a pointless errant.

They wanted to see most of Middle
Earth. The used the prize of a riddle

Contest to plan their journey long.
They went to Bree and sang a song.

There, they kidnapped a poor ranger;
This ranger was total stranger.

The trip was secret all the way to
Rivendell, the home of the elves who

Strongly believed in small magic rings.
They made new friends and packed many things.

Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Strider,
Legolas, Gandalf the Grey Rider,

Boromir, and Gimli were the nine
Who soon would not be completely fine.

The nine pretended that the ring had
Powers. The tale from here is quite sad.

Their path had led them to Moria,
Where Gandalf Grey had hysteria.

Gone he was, so they continued on,
On to Lorien where they did pawn

Gandalf’s luggage, for they were very
Greedy. Then robbed the elves, the hairy

Elves who had gave them a place to sleep.
For their crimes, they did not ever weep.

Frodo and Sam, however, did not
Approve of what the five had not bought.

They went their way and thought no more of
The dishonest members who could’ve

Left the good elves alone at their homes
To continue to write their satire poems.

Now, do you remember that riddle
Contest where Frodo got a middle

Finger ring? Well, now Sméagol Gollum
Really wanted to say to ’em,

And wanted to show them how to get
(First had to promise not to forget)

A high price for the ring on Mount Doom.
Mount Doom is like E-Bay in a room

Full of volcano artifacts from
Volcanoes. They needed to eat some

Lembas, and rand into the leader
Of the band of Spider-Speeder.

The big leader’s name was Old Shelob.
(She wanted to eat a shish kabob.)

They stole her new car and drove on
To Mount Doom, and there they did pawn

That worthless ring to Molten Fire,
Who broke the ring atop his tire.

The two went home and on the way,
Met their companions who did say,

“Where did you go? Why did you leave us?”<br>The two will never tell because

They lost the money they made to orcs
In a gambling game of tossing porks.

Frodo then sailed away on a ship.
Boy, he thought he was really quite hip.

The moral here is do not gamble,
And never trust a hobbit’s ramble.

*rolls on the floor, laughing and hiccoughing* HAHAHA that is awesome!! *starts laughing again, falls of chair *

[Aranel]

I'm only sometimes good at riddles, so sorry Erui.
as for Orangeblossem . . . LOL That was great! It's like what someone might interpret LotR to mean! LOL ;D

[Iure]

In case you wanted to know the answer: it's a river
I know, it isn't very clear yet, but I've got more than a week to improve it,so...

[Aranel]

Pretty good, but I don't understand the cradle part. That's what threw me off. Is it allegorical or literal? I get most of it now that I know what it is! Makes sense, actually.
