This is a thread for authors, whether amateur, professional or just plain atrocious (like me) to discuss literature and submit samples of their works. I have written five terrible poems, none of which, of course, has actually been published. One is of a political nature so I will omit it, but here are the other four:
"Illness of Time"
Time is ill,
Carved in ice,
Sorrow kills,
Worth no price.
Feel the chill,
Painful spite,
Not undone,
Never won.
Time feels pain,
Pain is old,
Acid rain,
On your soul.
Time is ill,
Pasts won't die,
Let us will,
Let us cry.
"I am One"
Don't approve me,
I am one,
You won't move me,
I am one.
Persecute me,
I am one,
You can't mute me,
I am one.
Just accuse me,
I am one,
You can't use me,
I am one.
You despise me,
I am one,
Not divide me,
I am one.
“I Ask Why”
Evil’s lurking everywhere,
I am good if I despair,
Evil works are everywhere,
I’m so hurt but I must care.
Ears that never hear the sound,
Eyes that cannot see the ground,
Feet that are forever bound,
Hearts that beat but never pound.
Shaking hands that never tremble,
Do we know whom we resemble,
Nothing is so incidental,
Nothing is inconsequential.
Trapped within a lion’s den,
Some ask where and some ask when,
I am now the one they send,
I ask why with pointless pen.
“Isolation”
Isolate the mind,
It will lose its way,
Trap it in its kind,
In a cabin gray.
Shouts are never heard,
Tears are never dried,
Live in the absurd,
Cry at that you’ve cried.
Watch each hour pass,
On a worthless clock,
Longer than the last,
Now my mind can’t block.
Time itself has stopped,
Hurt yet there’s no pain,
Trying not to drop,
Move yet make no gain.
I did warn you that they were terrible, but perhaps you have some better examples to submit.
