Debut of The Poetic Rabble
 

Greetings and Salutations, Poetry fans! Welcome to the thread. This thread's purpose is for any and all collaboration poems. All entries are welcome. The 5 Minute Poetry thread is for all individual poems. Of course, any comments and/or praise is welcome for any poem placed within. We look forward to it, and you can expect more from us soon. I'll be starting things off for us with a poem from tonight's first meeting. Enjoy the poetry, folks! And remember, we are in no way some form of exclusive group.

The order in this poem went Cloud, BMG!, Demon, and Druid.

The four of us met for the very first time.
Challenge in hand, waiting to rhyme.
A swordsman, a spy, a time mage, a druid
All four refuse to be muted.
So, working together, they forged a great plan.
Their poem will be known throught the land!
Though without pleasure, a miasma of light or sound.
From the heavens above come our words to the ground.
From the moment they started, they knew it was right.
And lo! In thinking so, they forged the poem this night.
And while only one could say he was hotter than Ren,
The Druid stepped forward and put the contest to an end.

Yes, and we are going to flood this thread with our collaborated poems!

And without further ado, my poem!

The order is Me, Demon, Druid, and Cloud.

I look in a mirror, and I see you.
And I wonder, If you'll be the only one I can see through
You are the focus of my dreams
Without you, I just can't live, it seems.
I stare at the looking glass, reflecting my longing.
Miles away, though you are, I know you can hear me
I place my hand on yours, I can feel the warmth of your touch
I want to say those words to you, but I don't know if they mean much.
My heart is crying, not wanting to lose this.
You see my tears, watching me from the other side
I wipe away the tears, I must take things in stride
I look over to you, you make it all become clear.
Before I was broken, helpless, a hollow doll...
Today I am raidience, warmth, soul, and love
For our love for each other is as a hand to a glove
And we are together, now, and forever.

Today this thread, tomarrow our own site!
(Maybe not tomarrow but soon)

Order goes Me, Cloud, BMG, Demon

I looked through new eyes, my flesh had gone cold, my bed beneath ground
I was but a ghost now, no flesh to speak of, not even a pound.
The earth swallowed me, her arms solid, her features plain
No breath escapes my lips, no pants line my legs
Dressed for display then hidden from view, I rise again
Ready to take my revenge for what was done to my family.
They thought that they were free, safe from harm
They will learn to fear. Fear my pantless wrath!

Great guys! Just excellent!

Now I don't want to be intruding, but...Is there anyway I can join or is this your own inside thing? Cause I'm fine with just reading these too if thats the deal.

Thanks Oster! You're not intruding at all, we just plan on sticking with the four of us for now until we have ourselves established. Your interest is a good sign though as we are hoping to expand.

Fair enough. And might I say again...Great poetry.

Very good, all, very good indeed! :)

I must say, I'm impressed with these. Heh, I especially liked the last one! "Fear my pantless wrath!" :D

Hello, hello! This one is another BMG! and CS collaboration! She did the odds, I did the evens.

I looked at the alarm clock, I'm too late too late!
I scrambled, got out of bed, post haste!
Ran out the door, and I just now missed the bus, oh great!
All that rushing for nothing, what waste!

I walked back inside, and made my decision.
I had no choice, I had to go to school.
I saw the trouble of skipping, not a happy vision.
My mother would ground me, that's just not cool.

And yet, walking all of those miles of concrete sidewalk,
I realized that that I could've gotten a ride,
Just thinking about it made me balk.
And I would've avoided any tanning of hide!

I guess I should face it, this is going to get bad.
Now, I have to hurry, or I'll miss my first class!
No matter when I get there, the principal will be mad!
I am certainly doomed for detention, en masse.

Here's one Cloud and I did. I'm odd, he's even.

I peered into the unmarked tome
Since the master was not at home.
Within held secrets for no mortal man
But I now see them, I tell you, I can.
I shut the book, a tear in my eye
For my master's orders had all been a lie.
Ranting and raving, I stormed around
Stomping my feet, I heard a hollow sound.
Naturally I stooped to peer into the ground
What could it be, this hole that I found?
I tore open the boards and lept down inside
I saw, once again, my master had lied.
For below lay something so unlike himself
There were piles of treasures, untold in wealth.
He had always told me wisdom was golden
I took it to heart, and am now emboldened.
I gathered the gold and ran for the hills
For patience is a virtue, one that can kill.
My patience was thin, I'm sick of the lies
He's my master no more! I hope that he dies!

Whooooaaaaa!!!!!! BMG, did you really do that poem???? You and CS really work well together! That was awesome!!!! Much better than a few of BMG's previous ones eh heh heh heh....*eyes dart around to make sure BMG isn't nearby with a knife* Well, I'll see ya later...*slides sideways out of the thread as quickly as possible*
