A Bit of Two Minute Poetry

[LDF]

;D Even though I suck at poetry, I thought I'd give it a shot... I'll be sending these to Shing, as soon as I've got time... like right after I finish typing this!

Plus, I named myself Dintelle ;D I always have liked that name... So don't laugh

8:29pm-8:31pm - I'll Never Be | dintelle

I'll never be a popular guy,
I'll never be a jock.
I'll never be an actor,
Or a dancer in a play.

I'll never be a movie star.
I'll never get to pay.
I'll never be a punk rocker,
But who cares anyway.

I'll never be a goofy twit.
I'll never be a stone.
I'll never be a stupid git.
I'll never be alone.

8:35pm-8:37pm - Talking Shadows | dintelle

Dark shadow creeping up the wall,
I'll never forget that day,
Where the shadow in the hall,
Came and spoke to me.

I'll never forget that time,
When I was a bit afraid,
Of the shadow upon the wall,
Making me feel a bit stupid.

I guess I was hallucinating,
Or probably just asleep.
All I know is,
That I remember what he said.

He said, "Don't be afraid of me,
If that is what you think.
I'm only a shadow,
So what is there to be afraid?"

I blinked and stared,
Then asked him,
"What is it like to be a shadow?"
But he only disappeared.

8:39pm-8:41pm - Dreaming | dintelle

Strong wings flapping in the gust,
That bird, he came to be,
One of the least known of them all,
But that's hard to believe to me.

It was more of a gryphon then a bird,
Or at least that's what I say,
Because it look part lion,
And feathers sticking in all direction.

He had blown away some leaves,
Then sat upon a branch,
Then stared at me,
With turquoise eyes,
They seemed to be like ice.

I froze in my spot,
Sweating profusely.
I choked a bit,
Before waking up in dismay.

[LDF]

Oh yes... and I'm bored ;D Even though I have so many other things to do... I'm bored.

I tried to rhyme on some of them,
But I stink at rhyming things,
So just read 'em and criticize,
That's all I care about today.

EDIT: I know this should be on the "Two Minute Poetry" Board above, but I'd like to have a seperate board where people can criticize me... ;D

[Smiley]

Well, if you think about it, it is impossible ot critisize 2-minute poetry, since you have to consider how short it took (two minutes, I believe...). Very good, though. Interesting. I especially like the last one ;D

8:55pm-8:57pm - Time Is Running Out | dintelle

Starting fast,
I slowed some down,
I looked around,
Seeing no one was staring at me.

I typed faster,
But slowed down again,
To think a minute or two.

I looked at the clock,
'A Few minutes to go,'
I wouldn't let myself down again.

'Oh no!'
'Only a minute to go,'
I thought to myself in dismay.
I better do this quickly,
Half of the time has gone away!

I typed faster,
Pushing the keys harder.
The time edged on,
Ticking,
Ticking,
Ticking away.

10 Seconds to go,
What would I do?
Oh no,
My time is up!

I like this one, because I kept looking at the computer clock, sweating a bit because I only had two minutes ;D

[Smiley]

Here's some of mine...

7:05--7:07 by Smiley

I watch my TV intently
Never turning away
Except to write...write...write...

Writing is my joy,
Writing, my passion--
Nothing can turn me away,
Not even TV!

But I love TV.
But I love writing.
I suck at two minute poetry
This is not turning out good

7:06! Woohoo!
Okay, um, I have a mintue left of this torture..
Maybe there is something good on TV
*click*

Yay! Woohoo!
Not sure what it is...oh well...

***

Okay, how was that? Um, not good, I know...hehe

The more practice, the better. Here we go again:

7:09-7:11 by Smiley

I look out the window
Into the dark worl outside
And I think--
What if the sun doesn't rise tomorrow?
What if it is dark forever?
What if we never see the beloved daylight again?

'Tis a scary thought,
But one must ponder
What will happen...
What will become of us...

I am not sure,
I may never know,
I hope it never happens,
But only time will tell

***

I think that was better...shorter, I couldn't think of anything to write about when it turned 7:09, but oh well...this is fun! I'll do some more later...

[LDF]

I like two minute poetry. I'm getting a bit better, and I'm into poetry this week, because Friday is Young Author's Day. Maybe I could share some two minute poetry with my friends!

They'd all go, "WOW! You wrote that in only two minutes?! Astounding!" They wouldn't use 'astounding' because only one of my friends actually uses that...

[Smiley]

Well, at least one of them would use it though, right?

I like reading poetry, but I never saw myself writing it. I kinda like it It's fun!

7:32-7:34 by Smiley

I look at the sky
What do I see?
I see a rainbow
Shining beautifully

I look at the ocean
What do I see?
I see a dolphin
Swimming so free

I look at the land
What do I see?
I see a little bear cub
Climbing a tree

Now I look at the mirror
What do I see?
I see my younger self,
Smiling at me

***

I still have time left, but I am done. (it was only like 15 seconds, anyway)

I love two-minute poetry! ;D

[LDF]

I did another one. I'm not too pleased with it, but it was fun to write. It took me all of the time. It's sort of alliteration; I was having trouble thinking of words that started with 'p'. This does not rhyme at all ;D

9:38pm-9:40pm - Perky Purple Penguins | dintelle

Perky purple penguins,
Playfully prancing,
Picking up pancakes.

Perky purple penguins,
tinkled at some pink petunias,
For who knows what.

Perky purple penguins,
Playfully packing,
Purple potties.

Perky purple penguins,
Peeping through pouches,
Putting holes in pockets.

Perky purple penguins,
Poking peoples pockets,
For no apparent reason.

Perky purple penguins,
Blushing perky pink,
No longer purple penguins.

Perky pink penguins,
Waving good-bye,
Perky purple penguins.

~~~

I love penguins. But not pink penguins oO;

[Smiley]

Hehe I like it!

[roselladestiny]

Here's mine (don't laugh!):

Wind-whipped,
Wild and untamed,
Fierce, capricious,
Water that quenches but also drowns.
A rapturous sunset reflected by blue,
A jewel-bright mirror veiled by white lace,
A sapphire stone of elfin-wood make,
A wild frontier with cerulean plains.
Sister to sky; mother of lakes,
I hear its calling-
The sea.

[roselladestiny]

A mirror of bronze,
A circlet of gold,
A marigold blossom
With petals untold.

A rapturous fire
Of vivid red flames.
Queen of the stars,
Wild and untamed.

A fire that warms
And yet also burns.
Tends to the rice fields
But scorches the corn.

A capricious candle,
A wild-hearted flame,
A bright-burning jewel
In a sapphire frame.

[roselladestiny]

A quiet, calm meadow,
An emerald plain,
A haven of nature
In a green lion's mane.

Mother of flowers,
Birthplace of songs.
Heaven where one and
All may belong.

The stars shine above,
The diamonds below.
The soil untouched
By pick or by hoe.

The eagle is flying
Above in the sky
As I look I feel
My soul rising high.

[sollunaestrella]

You seriously wrote those in just two minutes? Let's see...my best poetry was written in...like...um...I don't know how many minutes. Maybe fifteen. It's still pretty bad, though...my rhyming isn't very good.

The Elfin Gold Rose

Amber rose, hazy bells
Whisper in the fairy dells;
Purple violets in their vales
Bow to the gold that doth prevail.

The petals softly reminisce
The blushing time of soft pearl mist
When crimson gently kissed the light
To each other love they did plight

As dulcet trills danced in their souls
Together with emerald, by children extolled;
The summer, she sighs, has been divine
Her ecstasy as she and Scarlet intertwined--

And now, all left, are haunting wraiths
Of laughter, sunshine, promises saith,
And lone Gold Rose, her heart with fears
And bliss, she gladly sheds diamond tears

Of dew and lovers' remnants of weeping
For soon, Golden knows, she shall join her love sleeping--
For she is alone, in the midst of heartaches,
As summertime dies, her elfin heart breaks.

[Smiley]

Oooh, everyone's is so GOOD! I think that the less time you have, the better your poetry is. Your energy is moving, you have adrenaline (just a little) and you think quickly. Some poems that I wrote in an hour can't compare to my two-minute poetry.

*gasps in awe* Oh my gosh! It would take me years to write that, if ever! I'm a hopeless poet.
