How about a Poetry Thread?

[chad]

Here's my contrib to revive this necro-thread...

Time

Vacuum and blackness surround
infinite eyes of the night.
Millennia of change abound
as massive bodies take flight.
The celestial playground expands
disclosing waves we scarcely detect.
Glorious incomprehension demands
our attentions toward vast effect.
Zealously, to satiate our wonder,
we label its intriguing face.
To comprehend the continuity we’re under
we misinterpret this entity—Space.

Chad, you should send that to the moon.....literally. It's beautiful.

Thank you so much Kate51! It feels good to have such a nice compliment.

Very nice Chad!


This one is a bit silly but I wrote it this morning and more so thoughts than poetry really....

I wish I was your cat

So I could curl up in your lap
Demand your attention
Ignore your rejections
Keep coming back
Revel in your affections
When it suits you...

I wish I was your cat

And when you annoy me
Pretend to ignore you
Turn my back to you
Peeking round to see
If you notice me
Not noticing you
Noticing me
pretending
Not to love you
When all the time I do!

And when you don't notice or seem to care
I could swat at you to remind you I am there
Leave me alone for a few days at a time
Then put up with me bitching about it when you return
And you give me a little snuggle to ease my mind

Tease me with a string on a stick
Dangle it to watch me pounce
Tease me then deny me by jerking it
out
of
reach
But once in awhile
Let me catch it

But I'm not a cat.

Long held affection
Self-induced frustration
Some kind of wonderful
Based on reflections
Of observations
and
Inner computations
Recursive emotions
Deep rooted devotions


I need to get away
From those moments
That bring me joy


I already know what I have to do


The things I have been doing
To get my mind less
Focused on you
Are just not working
Are only hurting me
And recently others


And so I realize I need
I need…


To stop feeling
To cut off the limb
That keeps me connected
The one that began to grow
The moment I met you


It all adds up in my head
But my head is distracted
Cause my heart just wants
To be your cat
And swat the **** out of you
Till you never forget
I need you


Life stands still for no one
yet here I stand
Waving like a lunatic
With a smile on my face
Hearing a buzzing sound in my head
Like the sound of a can-opener
Whenever I hear your voice
Or even think of you


I’m so totally fscked.



I wish I was your cat.
