I posted them here, because I tried once in Showcase (But, I figured that Poetry is more of a musical thing, plus I figured the Showcase should have more editing stuff in it, then poetry)

Clue!

"My poor son has died"
said Mrs.Green
"He was only thirty five"
She said with a scream

But the detective barged in
With a magnifying glass
His pants were all wet
And his shoes covered in grass

The detectives wet shoes started to slide
Into the crime scene waiting inside

The detective spotted a bloody wrench
And next to it, Mr.Green lied dead
"I think he was MURDERED
It was a bash to the head"

A footstep of blood was seen on the floor
The prints matched the ones that lied at the door

The detective asked "who's shoes are these?"
"There mine" said Mr.Plum as he reached for his keys.

But before Mr.Plum could get to his car
A child stood up above the house
And shouted loud and far
"Mr. Plum, in the Kitchen, with the wrench!"

The child had won, and the mystery came to a halt
He picked up the house and put it in a vault

The child and his parents went up to sleep
The game of CLUE, was one to keep.

Directions

Up down all around
Left right out of sight
Here there everywhere
Follow This Copy that
Wipe your feet on the mat
Clean your plate take out the trash
Eat your eggs finish your hash
Sweep the floor Take off your hat
Do us a favor and clean the cat
Vacuum the rugs Buy my CD
After that you may break for tea
Join a band then write a song
Do your math but don’t get it wrong
Go to school and get good grades
Drive to church, then sit and pray
Another break this ones an hour
Then make your bed and take a shower
Now call your uncle on the phone
Thank him for that gift from Rome
Fix the light and start the grills
Mow the lawn de-weed the hills
Record my shows take my calls
Get my groceries at the malls
Shine my lamps read a book
Paint a picture learn to cook
Design a building wire a car
Get some money and open a bar
Well Today has ended what a pity
And yet the house still looks gritty
The sun has set but soon will hatch
Tomorrow I guess well start from scratch

Boundaries

It stops you from progressing,
But it can save your life
It separates my half from yours
But it does it quietly
It will stop a dog from being free
But it will save the nine lives of a cat
It cant be stopped
But it can be broken
It restricts you and me
But it helps you and me
Its called boundaries

Cixelsyd

If money lived in the sea
Would we all swim in banks,
Or would water be our currency?

If you could smell the phone ring and not hear it
If you could eat your own shirt but not wear it

If a ship would sink and a plane could float
and you wore a shower and washed in your coat,

The World would be sdrawkcaB

Government

Orders taken from slave to slave
"Destroy that ship, blow up this cave!"
With one swing of an iron fist
The hospitals and churches become malls
This is his world and these are his halls
Looks like an animal, thinks like a brick
World War III is going to be fought with sticks
Our president the hero, the menace, the bad guy from hell
The only one I know, that you can defeat with a pretzel
(THE LAST 2 LINES ON THE POEM GOVERNMENT WILL CHANGE, I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY)

Nine 1 One

A little boy went out to play
On this normal, sunny, summer day
But the sun went down
And the rain clouds came
But the little boy continued his game
Soon the rain began to pour
And the little boy played some more
The rain soaked the ground
And the little boy slipped
He tried to get up
But all he did was trip
He hit a rock and cut his face
The cut was to deep for a band-aid to be placed
The little boy stitched his wound
And forgot about it all too soon
But even now, after long and far
He looks in the mirror, and sees his scar.

Out of Sunblock

Out in the sun
Out having fun
Out on the grass
Out for the pass
Out from the hit
Out for a mit
Out with some ice
Out to feel nice
Out of your bed
Out to look red
Out of all luck
Out from a truck
Out like a rock
If only I had sunblock

Posted

You've always been a foe
A locked up john doe
I said I'd let you free
But what's in it for me?
You made a toss, I made a swing
You tried to hit, I had to sting
You're locked away, It makes you mad
That you are good and I am bad
They thought it was me, but i can fake
They threw it on you, you took the cake
Well...I'm off to play..You, just stay!

Question Marks

A club to the head
A fall to the ground
If it happened in a forest
Would we even hear a sound?

A book never read
An adventure locked away
I didn’t read it last week
Ya’ think I will today?

The paths are long
But the roads are longer
Why get weaker
When you could get stronger?

A question to be asked
No wait that’s two
Oh..damn that’s three
Anyone here gonna’ answer me?

Tree and Paul

Started as a seed
Ended up on fire
My Story is a sad one
One Hundred years I stood
Just to end up as fire wood
I was planted and watered
But never ordered,
to fall over and burn in a pile.
A metal wonder, and a guy with an axe
His ox was so big, he shoulda' been paying tax
Anyways my friends got cut down,
and the blue beast came over to us
with his knees to the ground.
He picked up all my friends,
well as many as he could,
and chopped all them up into fire wood,
then came my turn, the fire getting low,
i knew this tree was never again to grow.

I enjoyed these. The only problem I have is that couplet is a very elementary rhyme scheme. It doesn't take much extra thought to write a sonnet. I encourage you greatly to explore other rhyme schemes, or free form, as they might help you enhance some of your ideas more.

Thank you. I tried makeing complicated poetry once..but I didn't like it much at all. It isn't hard, just I disslike it. I don't like people to think, I want them to say "That's spiffy". All though that sunblock one is a thinker :P

Also, my favorite is Nine 1 One. It is IMO my most complex. It was my September 11th poem for school. So I had to make it in like 20 mins. I seem to do better when I rush. None of these took more then 5 or 10 mins maybe. But like I said, simple is what I like. I don't really have a style, I just do whatever seems to work.
