I wrote this stuff when I was 12, and I thought I was the shiz (still do). I think they're pretty good, but then again, I'm supposed to - it's my own. So, let me know what you think and tell me what's your favorite.

Haiku No. 1 - Music

 

The beat is so loud,

And the music flow through me.

Then I start to dance.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Haiku No. 2 - Movies In The Beginning

 

The bright pictures move,

The film reel clicks in rhythm,

Making people smile.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Haiku No. 3 - Evolution

 

It happened slowly,

Throughout millions of years,

To where we are now.

Haiku No. 4 - A Homeless Violinist

 

He plays for money

On his tattered violin

On the lonely street.

Cinquain - Eyes

 

Eyes

Unique, Penetrating

See, Watching, Judging

Windows of the Soul

Peepers

Limerick No. 1 - On The Dock

 

One day I sat at the dock,

In my new baby blue frock.

A fish jumped out,

And started thrashing about,

Which gave me a really big shock.

Limerick No. 2 - School

 

I sit in class and wonder why,

We waste our time learning Pi.

It's obvious me peers can't learn a thing,

That their lightbulbs don't go off with a ding.

Or, I suppose they're just shy.

Free Verse No. 1 - He Is Dead

 

He is dead.

Nothing matters.

My life is done.

We shall mourn

He is dead!

Cry with me,

Pity me,

Feel my pain!

For, he is dead.

And he will never come back.

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Free Verse No. 2 - Loves Me, Loves Me Not

 

Does he love me, or not?

Will I ever be sure?

I love him, that I know.

But does he feel the same?

Can the flower decide our fate,

Or is it just a hoax?

I'll give it a try; I've got nothing to lose.

I'll pick off the petals

One by one, chanting:

He loves me, he loves me not.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rhyme Scheme (aa bb cc dd) No. 1 - Out The Window

 

Looking out the window,I

wonder if I'm in limbo.

I feel as if I'm suspended in space,

As if something wiped out the human race.

So high I fly,

Just me in the sky.

Suddenly, the teacher calls for my attention

and I'm given detention.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rhyme Scheme (ab ab cd cd ee) No. 2 - In The Jungle

 

I run in the jungle,

Pursued by a bloodthirsty beast.

I curse and I fumble,

And I try not to become a feast.

I scale a nearby tree,

In hopes that the creature cannot climb.

I thought that I was free,

But it leaps, and I'm out of time.

I'm about to die,

With no time for "goodbye".
