Well I suppose it rhymes lol
My first poem:
It was a long night
and the moon was so bright.
She held my hand and read me a poem
at the Coca-Cola Dome.
It was full of steam,
It felt like a dream.
When I woke up
I won 25 Steem.
Nice one. I like.
That's obviously your first poem, husband. Lol.
I like it!
:)
Great one!
I've been losing momentum with my poetry writing but the 'first or worst' theme turned out to be the prompt I needed to keep going (thanks🙂). Here's my entry: https://steemit.com/runawayrhymes/@elementm/runaway-rhymes-entry-first-scrabble-tournament-2017627t0933153z

My Entry: Continuous Cycle of Life

First love
I saw her in front of lab
I felt a feeling fab,
I did a little dab
And took her number slab,
Than we did some talking
And went on a little walking,
Ocassionaly did some stalking
When my heart went on hawking,
Then I took her on a date
Omelette was that we ate,
We got a little late
As we let the clocking blate,
We went on travels together
sharing moments we will miss ever,
The Love the feelings will last forever
But she can't be mine ever. 😖
Love all... All of this just came out in a flow :)
Nice flow, keep on flowing, you have the knack.
Thank you very much.... :)
Wonderful I also love when poems come to me in a flow.
Thank you.. .. I Would love to read some of your poetry :)
Here is my entry:
WORST
I know I wanted to say something,
I wanted to write the best poem ever.
With an eager heart I took my pen and paper
Only to think of sly memories of you and how from here, somehow, you did sever.
Your absence leaves me like am curst.
Everyday, for your fatherly guidance, i do thirst.
I will never again feel the atmosphere of those days when you were alive.
And that's the part that's worst.
Maybe I should just walk to the Hearst.
Is that where you rest?
I need to see clearer,
This is no song of happily ever after.
And like every good song we did sing,
From here, someday, it'll sever.
I need to walk again...,
Close my eyes and wish you were here again.
My eager heart feels the pain.
But this is what I have gained.
My poem, for a longtime, will reign.
Worst Summer
Instead of the seaside,
I'm taking a mere ride,
to the nearby creek,
my fortune to seek.
I slept on the sun,
with Native skin awoke,
dragged home to run,
yoghurt on my stroke.
A brilliant little poem. Thank you for entering.
