I would love to take the credit but I roughly translated from a Vietnamese song.

I climb blindly
But not over this sadness
I search blindly
But only found disappointment
My youthful dreams I haven't fulfilled
My life's goals are still illusive

Have I wasted my years with the nonsenses?
I'm longing for a day of sastisfaction
What purpose do I serve?
Surrounded by sadness and disappointment
Where is the joy?

Once you lost it
You learn to appreciate
Once you feel pain
You learn to love
After winter mud the sun is brighter
After tough times life offers lessons

Lol, don't tease him.

wasn't meant to tease him :o

more like something that's on a subject he recently had to deal with, pain etc.

From a different poet

Let's talk about life
After I cease to exist
What is there to bring
Into the afterlife?
But emptiness, lonliness
Dearest Thuy my love

Like a kingfisher
On the tree of hundred years
I seek the love I've lost
In the puddle of life
In the puddle that is life
Dearest Thuy my love

Let's talk about life
Love is a blade
Love is a dagger
Silently and sweetly
Splitting the first love
Where's my Thuy?

Songtext I like as well;

Savin' Me - Nickelback

Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you
Well I'm terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin'

Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me

Heaven's gates won't open up for me
With these broken wings I'm fallin'
And all I see is you
These city walls ain't got no love for me
I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh I scream for you
Come please I'm callin'
And all I need from you
Hurry I'm fallin'

Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me

Hurry I'm fallin'

I like the tone. Thx for sharing snudge.

Yet from another poet/song writer.

What dust became me
So one day, I'll become dust
Beautiful, glorious dust
The sun has shined
On my indulged life

What forrest with leafless limbs
Has heard a welcoming call
But dust that is my fate
Written ink will be erased
Gone is forgotten

For all the years of indulging
Suddenly the hair is white
Faded leaves are falling
A hundred years to meet death
One day

Sounds like the writer plays an MMO like Silkroad.

EDIT: They are excellent poems though. I like them. But ya, the first poem seemed like they were questioning what they got out of the time they put into their MMO.

I got an A+ for this one:

I once wrote a poem
but it was bad

I once wrote a poem
but it didn't rime

I once wrote a poem
but I didn't had an idea what it meant

I once wrote a poem
just because I had to

I once wrote a poem
AAH SCREW THIS, I'M GOING HOME !

I found this one in the closet of my grandmother, and I really liked it.

When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to a mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that man has to say.

For it isn't your father or mother or wife,
Whose judgment upon you must pass;
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.

He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest.
For he's with you clear up to the end,
And you've passed the most dangerous, difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend.

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years.
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be the heartaches and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass.

I like it. Simple, honest. Your grandpa made that?

and it rhymes, like a poem should, unlike mines.

I guess I could try to bend the words to rhyme but it would lose the original meaning.

RuYi · Post by **RuYi** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 11:42 pm

No idea who made the poem, it's probably on the internet also.

A poem doesn't need to ryhme. Not in any way, shape, or form. I didn't know we had people who appreciated writing. I'll post some of the poetry I've written - which is kind of alot. And make some new one's.

TBH my writing is comparable to or better than the ones posted. Not that they are bad.

But ya Ahn, if poetry were limited by such a large, vague, and general rule...it would be far less meaningful. In fact it would kinda suck.

Anh_Hung_Rom · Post by **Anh_Hung_Rom** » Fri Dec 15, 2006 3:05 am

you're right. but I like it when a poet makes the wording rhyme seemlessly as if he/she wasn't even trying. I like good use of semaphores too.
