Of all the public places, dear,
To make a scene, I've chosen here.
Of all the doorways in the world
To choose to sleep, I've chosen yours.
I'm on the street, under the stars.
For coppers I can dance or sing.
For silver-swallow swords or eat fire.
For gold-escape from locks and chains.
It's not as if I'm holding out
For frankincense or myrrh, just change.
You give me tea. That's big of you.
I'm on my knees. I beg of you.
Simon Armitage

If life is an open door, why am I always trapped on the outside. With all this space around me and no where to go, no one to share it with. The cruel and unforgiving darkness becomes a blessing and my mind blurs the lines that others have set in place for me. I am at one with my self. I am at one with others. I am at one with the darkness. I am at one with the unknown.
Camels are like cows, only bigger but produce tastier milk..
Knock on the sky and listen to the sound.
Those who show off who think themselves unfathomable soon grow careless, and make mistakes. And when they do their talent shall go to waste..
The best thing about the future is it only comes one day at a time... Unknown.
Don't leave me when I need you the most..
A person who lies is always listened to. A person who tells the truth is ignored..
A life is a lesson and only you know if you've passed, as pre conceived perceptions were never built to last.
One picture says more than thousand words, they say. So if thousand words is one picture, then showing you thousand images are equal 1.000.000 words. What a boring talk that must be.
@Petitpois22 it's not mine but I'm entering it as a quote for your competition. Or atleast I hope your judging the colour competition
Simon Armitage is one of my favourite poets. His piece 'I Say, I Say, I Say' literally changed my life π
@Davedave16 Just to let you know I have extended the results date to Wednesday, hope this doesn't cause any problems Xx
@Petitpois22 :D (just remember I didn't write this! It is someone else's poem that I have written down as my entry (they are a professional poet))
