1.1 English Type Poems
CINQUAIN
Fire
Deadly, powerful,
Flaming, exploding, overwelming,
Ultimate element of destruction,
Danger?
COUPLETS
What I do, What I like
On the trampoline, I just love jumping,
As for letters, my hand can?t stop writing!
Gymnastisc is so fun, it?ll make you flip,
But becareful not to fall, that?s about my only tip!
To write a letter, my dear friend,
Pick up a pencil, or a pen!
LIMERICKS
The owl of a man, His future in his hand
There once was a man who knew but no courage
Until he meat an owl who showed no discourage,
It showed him the way,
And little, day by day,
The man was dying, with in hand, his new courage.
SOUND POEMS
Fall
The rutling of dead leaves,
Hanging on hollow trees.
The flapping of wings,
Coming from birds going south.
The water drops on the houses,
From cause of too much rain;
The sound that will soon transform
Into the crounching of crisp snow.
The tweeting of birds that was
Becomes the blows of wind.
And day by day,
Winter sets in?
Scary Halloween
The screeching of nails on a grave,
The screamings of scared kids running,
Some of many sounds that covers Halloween.
The ripping sounds of dead leaves on the ground,
The clacking of windows through the crisp wind,
Enough to make bones to bones shiver.
The owling of a warewolf hiding in the forest,
The scary shreeks coming out of Jacko-Lanterns,
The disturbing sounds that will send you to your death!
ALLITERATIONS
Kojiro is a name much like many oters.
Although I wish it had more meaning,
Maybe it?s just meaningless.
I?ll live forever until I discover
About my name?s meanings and so much more?
1.2 English Poems
A Legend
When the sun sets,
And the moon rises,
Once the stars shine bright in the skies,
And violent winds blow towards the ground,
The scorpion speaks:
A legend is born?
Created by the elements,
Brought to life by gods,
Forged by heat,
Experienced by cold,
The awakening of this being,
Will corrupt all power,
Peace is near,
But as always,
Battle comes first?
The Legend
In the gates of time,
An old book speaks the truth,
The legend of a man,
The future of our world:
At the end of time,
The apocalypse will arrive,
Destroying the land
And all of it's habitants...
When the moon covers the sun,
And the land screams of darkness,
The chosen one will rise,
The legend will be heard...
With the pure heart of a warrior,
And a mind as clear as water,
His powers are the elements,
And his energy is unlimited.
He will bring back hope and faith,
And restore light to the land.
He will end the war of blood,
And heal our damaged souls.
But if we don?t believe,
He will always stay a legend...
A myth
A myth is created
When someone is scared.
Once told up front,
It can never be erased.
As scary as it is,
Nothing can prepare you.
For the fear it brings up,
Is like nothing else.
One cure is possible:
Confront it
And destroy it,
Before it destroys you?
This battle might be
The last you will fight.
One may use no weapons
Other than the mind.
To defeat such a beast,
One must control it,
But not with chains
Nor weapons.
But with the mind?
Creatures of the night
Totally black,
With red piercing eyes,
It looks through your mind
Taking forms of your fears.
It awaits it?s victims
Silently hiding
In the deep of the forest,
Waiting?
Once you are caught,
It will replace your soul
And you will never die
As it would be you
And you would be it.
If it is caught,
It will disappear
As if never existed
Because it never did?
Revenge
There once was a boy,
Who couldn?t care less,
Making fun of everyone
For his own pleasure.
Respecting others,
He never did,
As his heart disappeared
A long time ago.
The boy was shameless,
He never gave a damn,
But his luck was running thin
Without him even knowing it?
Not far from that boy
And his greedy old home,
Lived another young boy
Not older than the first.
He had a huge heart for other,
And manners of a king.
He respected life
And life respected him.
Until one day,
When he saw the other boy,
His heart broke in half,
Scaring him for life.
The boy was so mad,
He couldn?t think straight.
His heart was filled with hatred
Unlike never before.
Later that night,
He was seen running in the dark,
Running so fast,
He could barley breath.
He was out for one reason:
To seek revenge?
By the next day,
The shameless boy had disappeared.
For the reasons were thought unknown,
We really all know
Why all of this really happened,
But if we don?t admit it,
It will happen again?
Dreams
Stuck inside your head,
They decide who you are
They remember what you did,
They build your future,
And trace your path.
To take away the dreams,
Is to take away your future,
Your memory,
Your fantasies,
Your faith?
If you take away the dreams,
Life becomes a nightmare
That kills you at the end
And sends you straight to hell?
Nightmares
The nightmares come,
When you are sleeping at night.
You never know how,
You never know when,
But one things for sure:
It scares you for life?
From the depth of a dream,
It slips in unnoticed.
Proving chaos and terror,
These aren?t weekly friends?
Once in a dream,
There?s no turning back;
Unless you wake up,
You?re stuck on your own?
If you wake up,
Your mind will be scrambled,
Like a dream in a dream,
None of the less.
Reality becomes myth,
History becomes legend.
But to put all back into place,
You must end the dream,
By killing the nightmares,
Or by killing yourself?
Hell
Hell is a place
Were hope doesn?t reign,
Hell is a feeling
That drives us insane?
Why do we say
That hell is away,
That one will only find it
Shortly after death?
But half the people
Say we are there,
But is this true,
Or just another lie?
But for what I think,
Hell is everywhere;
For what one can live
Can be another?s opposite
For what one can live
Can be anything we imagine,
For what one can live,
Who can really say?
I ain?t so far,
For my life has just began,
Soon I will know
What path I am on,
And if it?s the one
I was meant for all along.
But for the time being,
I will just continue,
Not knowing if my path
Was the one meant for me,
Not knowing if my path
Will drive me to hell;
I?m just a regular guy,
Following the road
And enjoying the ride?
Life
Some think that god created us,
Others hope for scientific explanations
But I,
I don?t give a damn
For we where created to live
And living is what we shall do.
It is a gift
That needs to be cherish,
It is a privilege
That needs to be appreciated,
It is life,
Everything a soul can hope for?
Some people think
That living isn?t worth it,
But if this is true,
Why are we here?
Why are we the only race
That has the ability to love,
To anticipate,
To choose,
To think,
And to appreciate life?
Think about it?
Death
Death seems like the end
For a person who never lived,
When all it really is,
Is a thin separation.
Death ain?t the end,
It?s more like the beginning,
The beginning of a new life,
One where hatred dissipates,
Where pain is extinct,
Where freedom is welcome?
I have no goals in life
Except to be remembered,
Remembered as a guy
Who never stopped living,
Remembered as a gymnast
Who never stopped trying,
Remembered as a poet
Who never stopped writing?
Rest in peace
As tired as he was,
He couldn?t stay awake.
His eyes where closing tight
As a single tear ran down his face.
His heart was slowing down,
And his conscience was floating away.
It didn?t take too long
For this old man to collapse
As his legs where now like rubber
And his strength was gone forever.
Lying on the floor,
The man was thought resting,
But really,
He was dead.
The man died alone
With no one by his side
When all he ever wanted,
Was to be loved
And appreciated.
His family never knew
How special he really was
But now,
It?s too late to tell him
And he will never know?
America
A continent of liberty,
A homeland of choice,
America,
A land of opportunity.
Even with the presidents
Who say they never lie,
Even with the laws
That create so many conflicts,
Even with the cops
Who don?t always do their jobs,
Even with the criminals
That are not always sent to jail,
And even with the cruelties,
That so many ignore,
America is from far
The best land for one to grow in.
America,
Where freedom reigns,
Where honor has a name?
Nature
From the deepest of forests
To the clearest of water,
Nature holds many beauties
Each more precious than gold?
It?s been here for ages
And tries to stay
But with growing cities today,
It just doesn?t pay?
It brought us life,
It brings us joy,
But with no respect,
It will bring us death?
Nature?s all around us
But disappearing fast,
Help our environment,
Make something last?
Water
Seems blue like the skies,
But clear as a crystal,
It keeps us alive
And gives us pleasure.
As fun as this may look,
It could also be deadly.
When you start drowning,
You?re already in too deep?
We have reasons to believe
That water is the base.
Water brings us life,
Water brings us joy,
But if we don?t respect it,
It won?t be here for long?
But we don?t respect it,
And it?s still here.
But it doesn?t take a genius
To figure out what we have here.
We do have water,
But far from pure.
Would you go swim
In a brownish fluid?
Didn?t think so?
Freedom
From the skies up above,
To the deepest of the waters,
In all it?s beauty,
It holds many secrets.
To truly be free,
You must abandon your body.
Once as a spirit,
There are no more limits.
You feel no more pain,
But partly insane,
You?re free as a bird,
To explore the whole world.
You do what you want,
You go where you please.
You?re now totally free,
Enjoy the time you flee?
Forgiveness
I know I ain't perfect,
And that I'll never be.
I tried to be good,
But I can only go so far.
I always tried to respect you
The way you respected me.
It's a little to late now,
As I never meant to hurt you,
I will carry this sin
For the rest of my life,
Remembering what I did
To an innocent soul like yours.
After all that I've done,
I really don't deserve much,
But I ask only for one thing
Hopping you can give it to me:
Forgiveness?
I am who I am
Some think I?m crazy,
Others say I?m weird,
But I was born as I am now,
And I will die as I was born.
Why should I change,
Into someone I ain?t,
Just to make you happy,
If I know you?re bound to leave.
I?m not perfect,
And neither are you,
But I won?t change for anyone,
Not unless I want to.
If you can?t accept me as I am,
Than it wasn?t meant to be,
I am who I am,
And that will never change?
The word of a statue
Standing on a stone
With honor and pride,
It remembers old times,
Good ones and bad.
Forced to watch
Mankind?s cruelties,
We respect it?s symbol,
Either peace or war.
Just standing there
It regrets being mounted,
But we are to blame
As we are creators?
Creators are shadows
Of the artwork they create,
But are often blinded
By the secrets of their dreams.
?The true beauty
Lies within
The lurking darkness
Of an untouched soul?.
When time comes?
When time comes,
I will rise from the darkness
And awake my soul
To show my true face,
To reveal my true self?
When time comes,
I will accept my position
And do the best I can
To protect my honor,
To hold it for eternity?
When time comes,
I will admit my real feelings
And step forward in life
To become my shadow,
To become myself?
When time comes,
I will decline from my thrown
And become free of chains
To live my life in peace,
To live it with my love?
Valentine?s Day
Pink hearts, red kisses,
Little cupids, signs of love,
Couples here, couples there,
Another day, I?m still alone?
Celebrating love,
A well known fact,
But on this day,
I don?t give a damn?
Once again,
I stand alone,
I raise my eyes,
But don?t see home?
I turn around,
And there you are,
A real friend,
You proove to be?
On this day,
I take the time,
To tell you how,
A good friend you are?
Happy Valentine?s Day,
And may you find true love!
What friends are for
A friend is someone you can trust,
Without asking any questions.
A friend is someone that respects you,
Just like you rspect him.
You can always rely on a friend
Because he will always be there fo you.
A true friend will share his life with you,
Hoping you will do the same.
When you?re feeling down,
He will always cheer you up,
And whatever you do,
A real friend will always forgive you.
What is love
I thought I knew
What love really was,
But for me to say so
Is saying I?m immortal :
It?s impossible,
It just is?
Love is an experience
That needs to be lived,
Love is a feeling
That grows all around us.
Love is everywhere,
It just is?
I can?t tell
How love really happens,
But on the other hand,
Neither can anyone.
It happens for a reason,
It happens at a time.
It happens,
It just does?
I don?t understand love
And I guess I never will,
For it?s a feeling
Much too complex,
To be understood?
Love
In moments of grief,
Love can be so difficult;
In moments of heartbreaks,
Love can be so cruel;
But in moments of joy,
Love can be heaven.
In whatever path you take,
Love will show you the way.
In whatever decision you make,
Love will make it easier.
But in every heart you break,
An angry soul will regret it,
And in every tear you shed,
A new door will open?
I love you
As a human being,
You gave me a helping hand.
As a stranger,
You?ve always been there for me.
As a friend,
You?ve done more than anyone ever did?
You always showed up
When I needed someone.
You brought me help
When no one else did.
You kept me company
When I was alone?
The day I met you
My life changed completely.
You gave me hope,
You gave me faith,
You gave me a reason to live,
You became my inspiration?
I know I?m not
The man of your dreams
But my feelings are real,
And so is this poem.
I love you,
I always did and always will?
How much I love you
I loved you from afar,
I loved you from close by,
When I needed you,
You where always there for me.
You always respected me
Even if I didn?t always respect you.
For all that I?ve done,
I?m terribly sorry;
I never realized
How much I really loved you.
You?ve been a good friend,
The one I tried to be;
I did my best,
But it wasn?t enough:
I failed miserably.
You have no idea
How much you mean to me.
But I never had the courage
To tell you how I felt.
But now,
My love is stronger than ever,
And I really don?t want to lose you.
I would really like
If we were more than just friends?
My feelings for you
I thought she loved me,
But she didn?t.
I thought I loved her,
But I didn?t.
I said I loved her
But I lied?
I was stupid to be blind,
To not have seen
What was inside,
To not have known
It wasn?t love,
To really think,
She was the one.
I was stupid to be blind,
To not have seen
Who was in my heart,
To not have known
Who I really loved,
To have ignored
My feelings for you.
A lifetime without her
Makes no differences,
But a day without you
Is a lifetime in hell.
Beauty is one thing,
Personality?s another,
But one without the other
Doesn?t make the perfect girl.
Beauty you have
With a whole lot more,
I would truly be honored
To hold your hand,
But at the only condition
You?re willing to hold mine?
You and me
I was all alone
In this crazy world
Until you came along
Like a peaceful bird.
You showed me friendship,
You showed me love,
So I jumped off my ship
And became a dove.
I dreamed of this day
Since the first time we met,
Now it?s the only way
And I?m already set.
I will live in the present,
And forget what to do,
Yesterday is past,
And tomorrow is with you?
My eternal love
I loved you since the day we met,
And will love till the day I die.
I proved to you
How much I cared,
But anyway
You broke my heart.
I don?t know what
You possibly want more,
But looks like in
Whatever I do,
There?s just no way
I can give it to you.
Since you can?t accept me
As I am,
I can?t accept
To be with you.
I?ll treasure the good times
We had together,
And bury the ones
Who led us apart.
I?ll always remember
Who you were,
But not as someone
I fell in love with,
But as someone that
I?ll always love.
I know that no matter what I do,
My future can never be with you?
A broken promise
I promised you my heart,
And you promised me yours,
But not long ago,
You left me and took both.
You left me with no memories,
You ripped away my heart,
You destroyed my hope and faith,
And even hurt my soul.
I promised you
My love would last,
You did the same,
But broke your promise.
Why are you leaving?
Why don?t you stay?
What did I do?
What did I say?
A perfect world
When I looked into your eyes,
I saw a perfect world,
One where we were free,
One where it was just you and me?
When you told me you were leaving,
I saw my world collapse;
I saw the end
Before it began?
Now I must live
Knowing I can?t be with you,
And you ignoring
How much I miss you?

� comprendre?
J'ai beaucoup de paroles, mais si peu de courage,
Tellement de d�tails, mais si peu d'entourage,
Quantit� d'exp�rience, mais si peu de voyage,
Tant de plans, mais sans ouvrage.
Limite d'amis non-respectable,
Arr�t du temps qu'� l'imaginable,
Grandeur �troite qui n'est responsible,
Suicide en vitesse qui est non-qualifiable.
Sc�nario difficile, un premier plis,
Aucune issue, retour de la malchance,
Perte d'amour, perte de vie,
Gain amical, seconde chance.
Rempli de surprise, d�bordant de joie,
Avis de l'externe, encore une autre proie,
Aide demand�e, personne n'occupe de moi,
Longue amie retrouv�e, de nouvel estime de soi.
Le Nouveau Mill�naire
En l?an 2000, j?ai quatorze ans,
Mais en fait d?attention, je n?en porte pas autant.
J?esp�rais plus, je voyais diff�remment,
Mais les temps n?ont gu�re chang�s, je suis encore adolescent.
Tant de technologie, tant de capabilit�,
Mais si peu d?ouvrage, et sans culpabilit�.
Je croyais mon avenir, quelque chose de diff�rent,
Mais au lieu je me trouve, dans un monde indiff�rent.
J?aurais voulu faire de grands changements,
Alors que je suis toujours �tudiant.
Mais m�me si je vis dans l?ombre,
La terre ne verra jamais ma tombe?
� une tr�s ch�re amie
Une jeune fille au caract�re complexe,
Elle ne cesse de nous impressionner.
D?un coup machinale, elle vous pointe de l?index,
Son regard braqu� sur vous, une situation embarass�e!
Tr�s observatrice, et toujours tr�s patiente,
Dans vos gestes les plus normaux, elle vous trouvera des erreurs.
Malgr� ses d�fauts, ses talents artistiques ne mentent,
Avec ses dons de paroles, des blagues font vite rumeurs!
Elle n?est pas blonde et n?a ni yeux bleus,
Mais au premier coup d?oeil, elle semble parfaite,
� C?est un ange descendu des cieux! �
M?a dit un ami po�te!
Elle ne sera jamais c�l�bre,
M�me si elle le croit.
Mais elle restera sans doute amie fid�le,
Puisque tous le voit!
Mon � Chez Moi �
Seule est ma maison,
Que je peux appeller chez moi,
Car parmi les saisons,
J?y trouve confort sous son toit.
Au soleil, je me r�veille,
Les rayons entrant par la fen�tre,
La clart� du jour qui �merveille,
Dansant dehors avec les petits �tres.
Doucement dans ma demeure,
Je m?endort en toute confiance,
J?y trouve toujours bonheur,
Parmi les � tic-tac� en cadance.
Soleil levant, soleil couchant,
Mon logis dans la nature,
Des fois derri�re, des fois devant,
Elle brille sans cesse comme une br�lure.
Seule est ma maison,
Que je peux appeller chez moi,
Car parmi toutes maisons,
�a restera toujours chez moi?
1.4 Poems by various artists
Down to you
You came into my life,
I felt a stabbing knife,
You were always there,
And you always cared.
You were my boyfriend,
I was your girlfriend,
Nothing serious at all,
Sort of like a trip to the mall.
We eventually broke up,
I didn?t really give a fuck,
We went back together,
But that obviously didn?t last forever.
We tried it one last time,
Tht definitely wasn?t worth a dime,
Today, they set me on a blind date,
It was none than other than my old soul mate.
We broke the date;
We knew it wouldn?t have been great,
Now I don?t know what to do,
But I feel that I?m damn back down to you?

Falling Fear
My falling fear
Is but not to cry
My falling fear
Is saying good bye
For you to leave
And not come back
Taking with you all your strengths
The strengths I once again will lack.
For me to fall
To something unknown
A shallow obis
With nothing shown.
A place to cry
With no one to listen
Where I look all around
But still have no vision.
Some place that with you
I had it all
Some place that I fear
Tomorrow will fall.
If to fear is heaven
And to cry is hell
I'm stuck in between
With all to dwell.
I'll fear for what's coming
And cry for what's been
Letting go of the one you love
Is nothing short of a sin.
I'll pay for this sin
For the rest of my life
Wondering with each moment
If you would understand my strife.
But I'll live for today
And cherish our time
Thinking of only your smile
And the peace you bring to my mind.

My Faith Returned
I went to bed,
And all was well,
But by the next morning,
My life was hell.
I slept soundly
With my dreams at hand,
But then I heard a noise
That ripped me from my dream land.
I walked out of my room
Only to see
You were lying on the floor,
Looking at me.
Daddy picked you up
And carried you to bed
You said your heart was on fire
And a jackhammer hit your head.
I knew right away
What was going on,
I just prayed to God
That the ambulance wouldn't take long.
You called out my name
And I walked to your side
You asked me not to be scared,
I said ok, but I lied.
I sat by your side
Trying not to cry
As I listened to you pray to God
To please just let you die.
I begged and I pleaded
"Please mommy don't die"
You said for me not to worry
And asked me not to cry.
I wanted to be strong for you,
I wanted you to stay,
I wanted to see you tomorrow,
I wanted you to be there on my graduation day.
The pain was only worsening,
The ambulance was no where nearby,
You again squeezed my hand
And begged for God to let you die.
You told us all you loved us,
You were saying your good byes,
You asked us not to tell Taylor,
How painfully you had died.
They finally arrived
And took you outside,
You said everything would now be all right
I said that I knew, but I again had lied.
That night I prayed
For the first time in a while,
I felt once again
Like one of God?s child?s.
I begged and I pleaded
For God to keep you safe,
But now I had something new to help me,
I had faith.
I told him how much
We all needed you,
How much you hadn't got to live,
How much you had yet to do.
I told him you had a granddaughter
That needed you here,
I said that I needed you,
But I was being selfish I had to fear.
Then daddy called
And said you would be o.k.
I cried I was so happy,
You would be here another day.
God answered my prayers,
He knew we needed you here,
He said it wasn't your time,
And I once again felt him near.
He had saved my mother,
And in doing so saved me too,
He restored my faith in God
And kept my faith in you.

1.5 Words Of Wisdom
Words of Wisdom:
He who shall win,
May take all he desires,
But will forever live
With a guilty conscience inside.
He who shall fail,
May have lost what he cherished,
But with the glory of a new day,
May a beaten battle become a won war.
He who shall fight with honor,
Has already won,
But he who shall fight for the show,
May find boundaries for mistakes.
He who shall try,
May risk humiliation,
But he who shall watch,
May never find the courage.
He who shall remain blind
Will see but no wonders,
But he who shall look
May gain all rewards.
He who shall go
May have half the chance,
But he who shall stay
Has no chance at all.
He who shall quit,
May lose fame and glory,
But he who shall keep going,
Hasn?t lost a thing.
He who is strong,
Can take whatever thrown,
But he who shall brag,
Is already beaten.
He who claims the world
Doesn?t own a thing,
But he who claims life
Already has all he needs.
He who claims money
Will end up in debt,
But he who claims friendship
May always have supplies.
One may look without seeing,
But cannot see without looking;
One may touch without feeling,
But cannot feel without touching;
One may listen without hearing,
But cannot hear without listening;
But,
One may think without speaking
And speak without thinking;
A spoken thought
Can be more cruel
Than a flaming knife
Right trough the heart.
It is better to have risked and tried,
Than to have stood and failed.
Through pain and sufferance,
You earn strength.
Trough fear and confusion,
You earn honor.
Through endurance and determination,
You earn your goal.
Through love and hatred,
You earn inner peace.
With hope and faith,
You get the courage.
With wisdom and knowledge,
You get the power.
Trough risks and with speed,
You get anticipation.
But with freedom,
You make your destiny.
Everything in this world
Lives for it?s opposite,
Black for white,
Day for night,
Peace for war,
Summer for winter,
Fire for ice,
Water for air,
Life for death?
