Poetry Game Anyone? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

ElvenVampiress · 16th Dec 2011, 07:57 PM

The idea is to write a poem using the word given by the previous author. I'll just give a word first, then take it away poets!

first word: sincerity

ESA3NZ · 16th Dec 2011, 08:39 PM

Sincerity brings me Clarity!

[Question for th OP-ElvenVampiress, how many lines(versus) does the poem have to be? Or are we creating a 'massive' poem, with each person writing a line???]

TWISTED

TWISTED

length depends entirely on the writer. part of the fun is that the only rule in tghis game is the word must be used somewhere in said poem

---------- Post added 16th Dec 2011 at 10:21 PM ----------

definately not one large poem since the next person to write will be giving the person who takes up the challenge the next word for their piece and so on

LdSlnce · 16th Dec 2011, 09:27 PM

Sounds fun!

Let's see...twisted, twisted...Got it!

Spin me in a web,
Wrap me in the cold,
Put your arms around me,
You better not let go.

Yes, this is twisted,
Maybe a little insane,
But this is too much fun,
Let's keep playing this game!

Closet

ElvenVampiress · 16th Dec 2011, 09:43 PM

Closet

Taken from the window
Left out in the rain
Shoved into a closet
Never just the same
One step left
Another right
Can you see some end in sight?
A single rose
A briar vine
Can you keep the perfect time?
Write a new beginning
Another pithy end
You take up the glory
When you grasp a pen
Movement through the shadows
Love in light of day
Kisses in the meadows
Wars' own bloody ways
You never know whats comming
You cannot see whats there
When you pull a story
From just one tuft of air
Take us to tomorrow
See us through today
Gives all the freedom
Of just one single day
Hope for some adventure
Lust for something more
Than just this empty closet
Behind the closed stone door.

next word: furrow

LdSlnce · 16th Dec 2011, 10:00 PM

Way to show me up! I mean that in a joking way. But you did! Yours is really good. This person here is jealous

Furrow:

Toss back my words,
Throw back my lines.
No need to say the truth;
The look on your face is fine.

Shove me back to the start,
Hurt me like all the others.
I should have seen this coming;
You acted as if I was a bother.

Furrow your brows,
Go ahead and act clueless.
You were never a good actor;
You always left behind a mess.

Watch as I turn away,
Watch as I don't look back.
The tables have turned;
I'm the master of this pack.

(This one sucked!)

Bare

ESA3NZ · 17th Dec 2011, 04:04 AM

Wow! The both of u r awesome, but I think I'll stick to jus a few lines!

Bare Knuckles,
Bare Skin,
I bare my Soul,
You keep it in...

Happiness

Hana Solo · 17th Dec 2011, 07:15 AM

What is Happiness, I ask
When I'm lost in the dark
I can't even see the light
I'm giving up the fight

A shard of hope drops down on me
I think I can be free
Through the mud and sticky mire
The Lord lights my soul on fire

And now I struggle to survive
Outside the collective hive
Of oppressive society
But I'm happy to know I'm finally me

Next word: Love

heatqueen · 17th Dec 2011, 08:26 AM

I love pie,
Pie is good
Put it on my plate
And eat it I would.

See

ElvenVampiress · 17th Dec 2011, 08:56 AM

See

Do you know?
Can you see?
Picking up gthe shards of me
Slivers here
And pieces there
Flashes showing everywhere
Turning tides of sorrow
Hoping that tomorrow
Will bring so way to put them back
Where at first they started at.
Running through the darkness
screaming through the day
Trying to find some kind of peace
to keep the world at bay
Collecting writhing shadows
And seeking for some light
Can you reach out a tender hand
To give some small respite
Delving through garbage
The tossed aside of time
Hoping to find treasure
Beneath the writhing grime
Can you see tomorrow
Hoping for today
Can you know the past
And still walk away
Who will see the darkness
Held with the light
Who will stay and hold them
Through the longesgt night
Never so we really have
The time we've counted on
And in the end the answer is
We still continue on
So those who can
And those who might
Will make this world a better place
Their way prepared by few of us
The last true Sacrifice

Disarm

Hana Solo · 17th Dec 2011, 09:13 AM

I tried to fight against you
But you disarmed me
Every weapon I brought up
You dashed to the ground
I no longer have the will to fight
Do as you will
I'm walking away now
Swallow your bitter pill

Next word: time

heatqueen · 17th Dec 2011, 10:37 AM

Five o'clock in the morning
Is a silly time of day
But alas, I have to wake up
Because life doesn't always go my way.

Riddle

LdSlnce · 17th Dec 2011, 01:24 PM

Feeling silly, so....

Riddle me this, Riddle me that,
What do you do when
You run over a cat?

Pretend

Hana Solo · 17th Dec 2011, 11:56 PM

You pretend all is at it was
But you and I both know the truth
So get out of my life right now
You outgrew the shine of youth

Truth

ESA3NZ · 18th Dec 2011, 02:15 AM

Have no doubt,
The truth will come out!
And when it does,
You'll feel tha Buzz.

Nxt word-- Body

LdSlnce · 18th Dec 2011, 11:11 PM

Is it wrong?
Maybe so...
I dream of sinful things
That will probably never be.
Is it so wrong?
That's what everyone seems to say.
If I utter a word,
Just a single word,
They freak out.
Is it wrong?
I refuse to belive it is.
So I want to feel her body against me,
So I want to be with her and finally feel free,
So I want them to understand that, hey,
This mixture of emotions I feel,
Is here to stay for every passing day.

Hurt

Hana Solo · 18th Dec 2011, 11:18 PM

Is that supposed to hurt?
I used to care what you think
But now I know what you are
Liar
Pathetic
Bitch
Is that the best you can do?
You can't hurt me anymore
Now I know what you are

Beast

ESA3NZ · 19th Dec 2011, 12:16 AM

I hunger for you,
For this to be true.
A beast in the night,
That brings so much fright.

Heaven

LdSlnce · 19th Dec 2011, 12:29 AM

If loving you,
Sends me off to hell,
To the flames I'll be immune;
Because while I'm being burned,
The price of the sin,
I'll be remembering how this was earned,
And I'll end up in Heaven.

Payback

Hana Solo · 19th Dec 2011, 03:25 AM

I wear a happy smile
While you scowl
And I'll admit it isn't happiness
That makes me grin when you're around
It's rather more vindictive
I know that its true
I want to get payback
I'm no better than you

Late
