Here's some of my two-minute poems.
Breakups are Heck
It’s late at night and I’m confused. He says this She says that He’s clueless She’s mad And I’m lost. I can’t take any sides. He’s my brother She’s like a sister And I am desperately hanging on to my sanity.
To Rachel
I hurt when you are hurt, And I wish I could make things right. Like angels with broken wings, We struggle – the two of us, And I wish I had the strength to carry us both. It’s a foolish dream – I know. But dreams do come And I still cry.
And a non-two minute one that I recently wrote:
A Dream of Mine
I know how to fly. An angel taught me how. He had brown eyes and brown hair, And a gentle smile. “Don’t be scared,” he told me, so I took a breath and pushed off – over the edge. There was water below me. I spread my wings and fell, But the angel caught me and carried me back up. “Try again,” he urged. And I did.
It’s hard to fly sometimes. My wings aren’t there when I look into the mirror. Late at night when I can’t sleep, I sit and think. Will I ever amount to anything? Will I be happy someday? And most of all: who and what am I? I think it’s all hopeless. But when I close my eyes the angel is there. Try again. So I spread my silver wings and let go.

You are all great...don't put yourself down. The great thing about poetry is that everyone has their own unique style and outlook of it. Everyone's is different, yet everyone's is beautiful.

Part of the reason that I wanted to create a site for just two minute poetry is that there is something inherently poetic(and human) in poetry, that is often lost after one too many revisions. Yes it is possible to evaluate two minute poetry, but my intention was to bring out what people had to say in the least amount of time, and with as little superficial "additives" as possible.
That said, I love your poetry, guys. Email me if you'll like me to post them. I'll be updating the site tonight.

Moon, in her sorrow grieving, Stars, of their laughter singing, Sun, with his almighty strength, Sky, that great blue endless plain.
Earth, enshrouded in green veils, Sea a great sapphire trail, Fire, warms and burns as well, Rock, a fort, a great stone bell.
Eagle, flying ever faster, Squirrel, with her contagious laughter, Dolphin, leaping through the waves, Hound, his master's life he saves.
Iron, changes, bends and shapes, Copper, adorning velvet capes, Gold, its luster shining bright, Silver, a subtle, gentle light.
United, they become A hero of a silent poem. Many single sparks unite To form a ring of endless light.

A silvery orb On a blue velvet throne, A giant's tea saucer The color of bone.
A silent poet With a sorrowful tale An orbiting traveler On a star-studded trail.
A circular vessel On a sapphire sea, A mystical jewel That tantalizes me.
The celestial duchess, The universe's dame, A wild sky lioness That no one can tame.
(I know that dame is pronounced dom. I'm just a really bad rhymer!)

I like 2-Minute Poetry. It is sort of hard to write, I mean, in the barrier of only two minutes. But it expresses what you can think of in only two minutes. <- Makes no sense alert!
12th
7:11pm-7:13pm - Spring Turns into Summer | dintelle
Frogs hopping, Bees buzzing, You know that it's spring.
Flowers blooming, Dragonflies flying, You really know that it's spring.
Water splashing, Kids laughing, Summer is almost here.
Ducks quacking, Birds chirping, Spring is almost over.
New borns appear, Eggs begin to crack, Spring is coming to an end.
Frogs croaking, Flies flying, Summers around.
I didn't think this poem made any sense -.o But I still like the 'Ducks quacking' part ;D
Note: All of my poems are in Eastern Standard Time ;D

My poem didn't make any sense! It made perfect sense. You talked about a lot of things we see on earth, in great beauty and detail. Then, you united them altogether onto earth..."an endless ring of light". It's beautiful! Really!

I started a poem, but it got cut off for dinner.
I gotta re-start it -.o
*waits a few seconds, then starts typing*
3 minutes later
Okay, I re-did it.
8:11pm-8:13pm - Penguins All About | dintelle
Penguins waddling to and fro, Slipping on thick ice, Looking around, Protecting their young, Penguins all about.
Penguins diving into the sea, Splashing all around, Looking for some fish, Avoiding other animals, Penguins all about.
Penguins feeding their young, Watching new eggs hatch, Sitting upon their eggs, Defending the young, Penguins all about.
Penguins staring at approachers, Defending at all cost, Protecting their young, Penguins all about.

I was getting kind of bored drooling over everyone else's amazing poems, when I realized that I want to do some more! So... 6:09-6:11 by SmileyFlowers opening To the brightly shining sun I feel the dewy grass Beneath my feet Fluffy white clouds Swim in the azure sea above me The creek flows on Into infinity I laugh and I smile But then the sun sets; Dusk arrives; Twilight is ending... The sun is gone The stars shine brightly And I smile *** Okay, that was weird, it didn't rhyme...but oh well. I still like it. I appreciate all poetry, even if it goes on forever and doesn't make sense. The feel is always there; that happy feeling. Here goes me again: 6:13-6:15 by SmileyThat little yellow dot Smiling up at me I can't help but wonder What helped make it be Sometimes it is crying, Sometimes it wears a frown And sometimes it cheeks get red Sometimes it feels down And although it's always cute I just cannot turn away The little smiley face Can brighten any day! *** Obviously, this is the BEST poem ever! It's about a smiley face! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
