The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. But still there is much that is fair. ~Tolkien

So, I thought about it, and now I've decided - yes, I'm going to jump on the bandwagon. 1. God 2. My family 3. My friends 4. Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit 5. Star Trek 6. Star Wars 7.
It was a rainy evening To youth group we didn't go After ballet, We got Subway, Then made our way back home.

"The stars are jealous. Everyone knows it." "I think they're beautiful." "Of course you do. As I've said before, you find the beauty in everything. No, stars are jealous.
Watch the stars twinkle Watch them fight For a place in the sky On this chill winter night.
I lay on my back on my concrete porch, Hearing the remote and distant cars I lay there, in the cool February dusk And watched the night sky fill with stars..
On the porch Winter night Feels like springtime's Evening light Dusk has fallen All gray-blue A white and shining Cresent moon A cricket chirping Far off clangs Of dairy-yard gates In metal frames A...
Yes dear, I see the plane Flying up there So high, in the blue sky Yes, isn't it high up, dear. Come here now, dear one We must go Where. Somewhere darling, somewhere away from here Why.
I wrote an open letter I said 'I love you' today But the target of my affection Was not a boyfriend.
When I fall off the beaten path I land in a canyon of razor-sharp infliction When I get off track I dwindle into nothing.
Your words When I pick up the book Dance off the pages And into my brain Creating images That flow freely As freely as a river running Constantly, surely, Smoothly, purely Swift.
"I want to run" So do I.
It's just science. It's just nature. It's just logic. Point A leads to point B. Cause and effect. Action and result. Like 3 - 2 = 1. You do it, and it follows. So I did it. It didn't follow.

My heart lies here It's been many an age Despite that, I would go back During the time before the change Long ago, when Elves still dwelt Ever safe the peoples felt Everything though, was soon...
I'm still trapped in this beautiful addiction. This painful love that I can't forget. Can't let it go. Can't cease to know. What it means to me. What joy it brought me. What pain was endured.
Music invades you But it is a beautiful invasion. Music takes control of you But it is a beautiful possession. It takes hold of you, catches you up, and transports you to places far away.
The other day I saw words said, Wise ones, when at first I read. "What IS a friend anyway.
A faerie at a waterfall With no name herself to call She wishes on the changing wind Her eyes the swirling leaves enthrall.
Spring of Youth From a cup Watch the liquid Fountain up Shooting skyward Sudden stop Watch the liquid Earthward drop.
Chasing the sun I'm out of luck I'm out of touch But still I keep trying Gonna find my way I swear I will someday It calls to me Who am I to say No way.
I am free I stand strong like a tree Arms outstretched Breathing in Eyes closed I rise on my toes And go where the wind blows..
Learning to fly is as easy as walking. But instead of your feet, your wings do the talking..
I started this poem a year and a half ago and haven't touched it since.
I believe this is the best one so far.
One day I met a guy And I don't quite remember how, But he added me on facebook And we're rather good pals now.
Once upon a time I got sat next to a guy. "Mrs. Huff, what did I ever do to you?" "Oh, you like it," he did say As we took our seats that day He was wrong, but at the same time was right, too.
Days passed in classrooms Are the days gone by Realistic artist Rather seems shy Ever mysterious Little I can say, but the Live Long and Prosper sign sure made my day.

This is a response to @jackalice 's "In A Man A Bird Flies". (What can I say, you inspired me ;]) Strange rhyme scheme, may be a bit hard to follow.
This one is just for fun ^_^ Because every journey starts with a small step Every time I've tried, I've failed Guess why. I didn't change my lifestyle.

To me they are always kind Really, I should pay no mind Unless I'm being stabbed in the back Still, I'm not; so why do I feel attacked. That hasn't happened in a long time.

A polished stone sits among rough stones. At a glance, it blends in with the others. It's nothing special. But if you take a step forward or backward, it catches the sunlight.
A revision of my earlier post "Recently". Man I really needed to try harder. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Some dark things I see Remind me I'm not alone. We all run for cover and hide From the demons in our home.
The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. But still there is much that is fair.

He lifts the flag above his head With bloodstained fist, and bloodstained brow The gunshots resound And out the window his lifeless corpse leans.
I have nothing to write about, is my life empty. Who am I. This isn't a poem. Why do I think I'm writing. They say don't doubt yourself and your abilites Maybe it's time to doubt.

I push it down. I learn to deal. Put on a front. Try not to feel. I wont forget. This hurts me too. But I'll put up with it. For you. I don't want to be. One of those girls. With her claws out.
Sorry I forgot about this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yeah, you read that right.
I wanna retreat inside. Go hide. In a place my own. Be alone. Not be seen. It feels freeing. I'm in my mind. Retract from time. Hide in thought. Buried and lost. None can see. The hidden me.

Sleep deprived and draining out,. Lost my mind without a doubt. Up at night. And up all day. Want to sleep, have to play. Work on school, go to dance. I'm busy, never had a chance.
#beginningline #nightdwellers I apologize that this is so long. A week before the winter solstice, a fire crackling merrily in the hearth and hot chocolate in hand, she sat down upon the sofa.

#10wordchallenge A Chevy on a corner on a Christmas night The buildings behind us covered in lights With a Christmas tree in the window near Shining out its jewel lights in the rearview mirror.
"I still can't believe you're doing this." The first words out of Kyle's mouth the next day, and all I had heard him say since.
A picture's worth a thousand words Or so I've heard them say, But I've never seen a picture do what words can anyway.
I'm living in a dream The sky is blue By day, Then indigo by night. Emotions surround me, The red of love and fright, Gorgeous in every way.
"Once upon a time" And that's the end A story that's finished before it's began. I've done my best, and I'm still going. When will the fruits of my efforts start showing.
A slender black leotard, silky in the light It looks so thin and delicate on the hanger. Take it and slip it on, or maybe squeeze it now encumbers my figure. It doesn't look so slim now.
#nightdwellers #beginningline I was stood frozen, facing the old ornate mirror, and too scared to open my eyes... That night had been a dark night, but it definitely wasn't stormy.
I saw a waterfall Go cascading down There were rainbows sparkling on the mist Dancing on each rounded drop I watched them go And thought to myself, "how much I would like to do that too!" Tumbling...
Herds of drops rushing Over wet rocks and green plants Cascade, shining, down.
I've just got to say something... There's no such thing as "true love." There is only love. If it's not true, then it isn't love!!. OK?.
I looked ahead and couldn't believe What I saw - do my eyes decieve. There's a box, wrapped in ribbon that's ravish me red. I open it up and look inside.
What's this. I'm lost in your kiss. So many places to go, But this I can't miss. It's like the world's not there, We're so far from there, Caught up together, Our only care.
I thought Opuss erased my first try. Golden rose in morning light, glowing shiny early bright.
Star Light. Star Bright. Dark Blue. Midnight. Silver Flecks. Night Sky. Up Above. So High. Twinkle Here. Twinkle There. Starry Shapes. Everywhere. Stretched Across. Velvet Sky. Midnight Blue.

If you want to escape, hop into a book. I promise there's more here than how it may look. Torn cover, tattered pages, some wear and some tear.
"What?" I gasped out, laughing and clutching my tea tightly so I wouldn't drop it. My neighbor, Kyle, just looked at me.
