[Dark Cloud]

Welcome All!

Who is your favorite poet or the author of a poetic piece of literature? If you'd like to share the poem, please do!

---

The day you left and gained your wings
My heart just broke in two
I wish you could have stayed with me
But Heaven needed you.

You left me with the memories
And I love you dearly still
No matter how much time goes by
I know I always will.

You were a very special person
With kindness in your heart
And the love we had together
Grows stronger now we're apart.

I know I cannot bring you back
Although I wish it every day
But a piece of me went with you
The day you went away.

In dedication to a friend.

Oh, dear.

I haven't fucked with poetry in many moons but...

This is certainly tempting.

[Dark Cloud]

Ah well at least I tried.

Once upon the end!

@A Ticklish Ralt This is supposed to be a discussion of favorite poetic literary works.

@Dark Cloud oh, sorry! hehe *hugs you*

Well, I remember reading this poem once about a parent watching their child riding a bicycle, but it was meant to be symbiotic of the child growing up and thus getting further away emotionally too. I also recall many poems that talk about flags, trying to showcase how willingly people kill and die over nothing more than fabric. But I always find poems to strange, just make your point clear... that or I'm a dim dumb dumb hehehe

[Bork Lazer]

I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings;
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

I personally like Dante's Inferno which is a poetic piece of literature.
