I gave these poems to my english teacher for a poetry folio we had to do and got a 100percent. I dont think there actually that good. what do you think? (if you hate emo poems dont read on)

poem #1 (i havent named the poems so im just going by order)

beneath the moon white
bathed in its light
stands a man more a beast
whose self now he fights

the hunt that was won
had come at a price
the wolf that they fought
now corrupts the mans sight

as the people awaken
they see their plight
and what they dont understand
the kill in fright

after the change
his mind anew
he sees the threat
of these people few

as he flees
the wolf minds might
tells him why be hunted
when he can fight

the time to fight
the time to kill
give them wounds
that will never heal

the time for fang
the time for claw
time for their death
by my maw

the blood, the thrill
the people fall
for all their knowledge
their weak after all

the last one standing
his fellows dead
his sword in hand
the ground ruby red

as i prepare for the kill
he charges at me
the fear in his eyes
so easy to see

as i strike
he slashes at me
now he knows
that he should flee

as i wound him
he stabs me
we both hit
the price to be free

as i die
the man now sees
what ive done to him
what hes done to me

now the hunter
sees in his mind
that he is now
his hunteds kind

as he changes
he now has no friends
he will be hunted
the cycle starts again

Poem #2
the bright green grass
the beauty of the plains
the blades of life
so far unexplained
yet where it grows tall
wild, untamed
it hides that which can
cause both fear and pain
creatures of land
of death that rend
small parts of your flesh
that cause your end

Poem#3(yeah this was a free verse)
the crack of the whip
the seering flames
the harsh voices of our masters
the screams of our agony
if this were not hell
i would wish for death

poem#4(another wolf poem)
as the moon rises
so the sun sets
on a world that forgets
all of natures surprises

during the harsh night
a young boy of twelve
in darkness he dwells
until the end of light

upon the cold beach
through the wind and rain
he will never think again
of those gods he did beseach

through nature ploy
its cruel might
all through the night
turned him more beast then boy

poem#5
The ruby roses
the subtle green
conceals the danger
the blood unseen
below the beauty
lies only pain
the only clues
washed away by the rain

poem#6
the autumn world
the end of the summer beauty
a dead world
the fall of the greens
the stretch of time
the bleak brown
even though the sun shines
we still wear frowns
through this dull world
we are not in fright
for the coming of winter
means a new dead world of white

poem#7
in blackes night
the brightest light
shines through the trees
an endless white

the smallest ant
the creatures free
the eternal fire
the flames to be

behind the light
the darkness grows
the world of grey
the world we know

the trees of metal
the forests of steel
cause the destruction
that can never be healed

yet though the builders
black or white
they bring destruction
and their death brings life

poem#8(this ones a bit less emo)
give them life
and they bring death
give them light
and the ruin it
give them power
and if that they abuse
give them poverty
and they get in the news

How come they all sound rather bleak, and filled with despair?

What's the difference between poem 2 and poem 5 ?

i know they are rather bleak. i guess that would just be me. poem 2 was supposed to be about grass and poem 5 about a rose.

Really? I thought they were both about how love can break your heart.

2.
the beauty of the plains...

it hides that which can
cause both fear and pain


5.

below the beauty
lies only pain

The colours of my mind

White is life
And death as well
The clouds of heaven
Deaths' hound's of hell

Black is darkness
What we canot see
When the prey hide
When the hunter's roam free

Blue is the ocean
It's calm and it's rage
It's mysterious motion
And at night it's rampage

Red is blood
As crimson as dawn
For those it comes from
It is forcibly drawn

Yellow is light
The bringer of day
The shinging sun
And a new today

Orange is fire
The greedy flames
Who to feed must destroy
But all in vain

Green is the balance
Nature and it's gale
The towering forest's
Whose growth we impale

Indigo is order
Society and law
Whose meaning we destroy
And whose warning we ignore

Violet is chaos
That comes before the fall
Spreading fear and destruction
Whose presence cant be ignored

The rainbow is a truce
All colours lie there
All but black and white
Too proud a pair

The broken son

A lonely death
A simple thing
To draw last breath
And hear angels sing

But to live alonde
And dide one by one
Destroys the soul
A broken son

A child lost
Left home to fight
A war amongst
Those whos lifes ingnite

The souls, the hearts
OF everyone
All those except
The broken son

The war grows old
Its over fast
but its scar
Will always last

As he grows old
And wars go by
He still feels cold
He knows he will die

To fight and win
But never know
You cannot win
Against lifes foe

A life lived empty
Still torn by war
His only friends
Shot down by the fours

His life now over
He cant have won
His fight against death
A battle unsung

To fight with death
To protect someone
Still breaks your soul
The broken son

And now the end
His life over and done
The man pretends
That he has won

But a life so empty
So un-forfilled
Cannot be forever
No matter what is killed

And now deceased
He has not won
Hes lost his life
A life broken and done

There ive finally come up with two more poems for this. I know its a quadruple post and im sorry but its going to continue to be that unless other people comment.

They are nice, but could use some punctuation and better structure. Also, you are changing from one type of poetry to another in the same poem, only lines under the other type.

If noone is commenting then you don't post until someone does comment. A double post is bad, quadruple is very bad. If you keep it up the mods will lock the thread.
