Write all you want. Additions are welcome.

The Amazon Tree
Deep in the Amazon,
a tree stands tall.
It thinks to itself,
âI'm not important at all.
They don't care, they don't think.
People come and cut us down.
They turn us into paper,
and we're spread around town.
I've seen it happen to us,
at so many times.
We're turned into lumber,
and sold in packs of nines.
They'll come for me soon,
I know it's true.
but when my time comes,
I'll have nothing to rue.â

Poem of a Poem
I like writing poems.
I thinks it's fun.
You can fill them with rhymes,
and maybe some puns.
You can write all day.
Writing through the night.
Some poems are scary.
They can give you a fright.
Poems don't have to make,
a whole lot of sense.
My mom just gave me,
five dollars and ten cents.
We are coming to the end,
of this very fun poem.
My hair is messy,
I need a comb.

Pardon the weird symbols in 'The Amazon Tree'. I copied it from a word doc and they are supposed to be'' marks. Also, I'm only accepting original poems. No classics allowed.

I figured I'd comment, seeing as though nobody else will; maybe it'll spark something.

I really like The Amazon Tree. It flows so well to me; and not just because it ryhmes.

Pardon the weird symbols in 'The Amazon Tree'.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while.

Conversation Poem
My teacher wants a poem.
'I can't write a poem.' I told her.
'It's impossible. It would take forever.'
She smiled and said 'That's okay.'
I'm afraid that I might just get an 'F'.
So I took out my paper.
I sharpened my pencil.
I wrote our conversation down,
and now I already done.

Stork
When I woke one morning,
a stork was on my head. I
asked it 'What are you doing there?'
He looked at me and said,
'I'm here to hide from a bear.
He gave me quite a scare.
I was flying in the sky,
When something caught my eye.
Large and brown I wanted to see,
What it turned out to be.
It was a bear, mighty and tall,
I fell and hit him, I barely made it out at all.
So I flew to your house, so I could hide,
and so the bear thinks I've died.'
I looked at the stork, has was a crazy as a clown,
I said 'There are no bears in town.'
He looked at me and said, 'Your info is poor,
the bear is standing right at your door.'

My Dog
My dog's fur is white
and his eyes are brown.
He likes rides in the car
that take him around town.
I had him when he was little.
I have him now he's big.
He is quite mischievous.
He just ate the figs.
He is now gnawing on the table,
and chewing my shoe,
He gets sick all the time
and now he's turning blue.

Sanity

What is sanity?
Is it being like everyone else?
Following a routine?

Or is it something different?
Being different from the rest
Releasing pain through your arms
Secluding yourself from the living

Or...
Is sanity a figment of our imaginations?
Does sanity define a persons well being?
Does sanity affect every aspect of our lives?

To me being insane is a lot easier than being sane
Easier than being like the rest

Insanity is sanity

Scars

All these scars
They tell my story
Of how I became
The monster I am today

All these scars
They keep ripping open
Tearing me apart
Eating me from the inside out

My problem
Is I care too much
I let them walk
All over me

Use me
For all I can
Then throw me aside
It destroys me

My sanity is slipping
I can't handle this much longer
The pain
The suffering
Of it all

It eats away
At my insides
Slowly destroying
What's left of me
This monster I am

All these scars
Serve a purpose
To remind me
Of what I've done
To get this far
And lose it all
Over and over

Promises

There's part of me
that wants to give in
break those promises
destroy everything I've created

There's part of me
that wants to fight
keep those promises alive
Stay strong for those around me

There's part of me
all of me
that's dead inside
and can't find a purpose
scrambling for help
those promises bind me to this hell

I Can't Write a Poem
I can't write.
My head feels like it is going to explode.
My dog is barking.
My mom is nagging.
My sister is bugging me.
My computer is crazy.
I can't stop snacking.
My keyboard is sticky.
My chair is too hard.
I'm running out of time.
My ideas are running away.
Time's up? Finally.
My brain can rest.
Great, my teacher gave me an 'F'.
Thanks a lot.
The next poem won't be much better.

Thanks for the addition Fallen950!

My New Haiku
My new Haiku is,
What I am writing right now.
I am having fun.

Just An Acrostic

Alyx you're my saint
Love is in the air all around you
You are the essence to me being
Xylophones play in my head when I see your face

(it's impossible to start with an "X" -.-)

Living it to the fullest.
