Story line poems

[exterminator]

I love such poems .. one that we had in our english literature course was the The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1798). Here's the link to it - Rime of the Ancient Mariner... Some lines from it..

The ice was here, the ice was there,
The ice was all around:
It cracked and growled, and roared and howled,
Like noises in a swound! 

And every tongue, through utter drought,
Was withered at the root;
We could not speak, no more than if
We had been choked with soot.

Share the ones that you have come across and found nice... Cheers...

This is one of my favorite poems (in English). It's called 10 Things I Hate About You (and is taken from the movie with the same title).

I hate the way you talk to me,
and the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car,
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots
and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick,
it even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way youre always right,
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh,
even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when youre not around,
and the fact that you didnt call.
But mostly I hate the way I dont hate you,
not even close
not even a little bit
not even at all.

Self composed??? What's better than that...??? Pour it in...

Here's one of mine.. but please don't laugh at it.. it's miserable... it will remind you of a similar poem...

Xena is big .... knowing what i give a gig
the question was sick .... and the answer she couldnt pick ...
She beat the packet with a stick .... trying to mimic the old freak ...
The old freak said -- hold on! U need to write in bold on...
codeguru Group discussion and chit chat... but the cat.. oh the smelly cat 
she was fat ... with a hat .. looked like a rat...
climbed on his head ... looking for some rotten bread ....
but who knew there was nothing .... but Xena had to give something...
She picked the beaten red packet ... filled in money she made out of the drug racket...
and cat was happy... cause the incident was totally crappy....
thinking of which I remind you all ... you will get a call ... 
call from the big Xena ... telling you about the legend of the fall...
And now I am tired ...and now I am very tired ... 
because the cat bought classy food ... and i am no good ...
I am no good at making poems look funny.... but u have listen carefully sonny....
things aint easy... and the place aint cozy....
run out of this hell.... ring the bell ... 
You have got to excel .... take things pixel by pixel...

Just one thing:

My poems are usually quite morbid ,and sometimes too difficult too understand.

Oh, don't laugh, I'm shy

Thanx Abhishek!

I'll post another one, if you guys don't mind - I don't want to hijack this thread

Poem Title: Regret

Regret

I regret
to have loved you,
I regret
not letting you go
when I should have;
I regret
I miss you so,
- I regret
to love you, still

[ideru]

In the theme song of Beauty and the Beast The TV series,

"The first time I love Forever" the poem of ee cummings titled "Somewhere I have never Travelled" was recited , its so beautiful

somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully, mysteriously) her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands

-- e. e. cummings

@cilu: I like that too!

@exterminator: Really funny poem, just reading the very first word made me laugh so hard right away.

@Hannes: Nice poems. What's morbid in those? It somehow reminds me of Haikus, though.

@ideru: Oh, I like that too! Good find. I especially liked the very last verse.


I wonder if you guys have heard of Haiku? Basically its a three-line poem written in 5-7-5 syllables respectively. Example:

Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.

Here's my share:

What makes CG tick?
codes; but most especially
kind, helpful members.

I'm sorry if its lame.

Hannes : this one is realy good.....

And here is my contribution..

Patience is a virtue.
Virtue is a grace.
Grace is a little girl,
Who never washed her Face.
