All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players:They have their exits and their entrances;And one man in his time plays many parts,His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.And then the whining school-boy, with his satchelAnd shining morning face, creeping like snailUnwillingly to school. And then the lover,Sighing like a furnace, with a woeful balladMade to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,Seeking the bubble reputationEven in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,In fair round belly with good capon lined,With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,Full of wise saws and modern instances;And so he plays his part. The sixth age shiftsInto the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wideFor his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,Turning again toward childish treble, pipesAnd whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,That ends this strange eventful history,Is second childishness and mere oblivion,Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. 1 Like |

A SONNET Distance without notice grasps you again Hence my cold countenance on this warm day Heart accustomed to this erratic pain Constantly longing for you where I lay Illusions of you fog my sight these days Every woman I see walking is you Why can you not align with me always? Don't you ache for me as I do for you? But if always our shapes do tesselate And these my ears ceaselessly house your tone What will be to miss you I won't relate And your value to me will be unknown Thus, as heart grows fonder at your absence Greater will I cherish your short presence I tried following the rhyming scheme and the ten syllable per line ish |
| Re: One Poem For The Road by princesa(f): 11:15pm On Aug 27, 2013 |
You see, its the rhyming scheme accompanying the sonnet that puts me off such poems. Poetry needs no inhibitions unless it won't flow  nice poem anyways |
| Re: One Poem For The Road by badmusace(m): 11:35pm On Aug 27, 2013 |
I agree with you, but that was what defined poetry in those days and in a way they made the poem look beautiful, although they tend to restrict the flow of a poem. However, one can just experiment with them old rules as a way of self development. Thank you. |

Troubled in many ways, He stumbles from day to day, His conscience tries but fails, To keep his demons at bay, His head, on a pillow lays, But he struggles to sleep today, Until he bellows with the force of a gale, Forgive him, Prince SA |
| Re: One Poem For The Road by princesa(f): 9:48pm On Aug 28, 2013 |
You sir, are trouble impersonified! But no P. You can sleep and rest easy, prince SA forgives the one who must indeed try to keep his demons at bay |
| Re: One Poem For The Road by princesa(f): 9:53pm On Aug 28, 2013 |
badmusace:yeah self development is good...but am still a fan of 'as the spirit leads' anyday |

Alright, let me try. This is 10 minutes freestyle (can't do well o). ______________ He meets she. She meets he. From the wells of romantic emotion, Their hearts wander around a notion. Could it be love? Or lust hovering like Noah's dove? Ay! Cupid laughs wickedly, Ready to shoot his arrow speedily. He chases, And she responds in phases. He withdraws, And she fidgets like a market woman who lost her purse. Cupid pays no heed to the pause, He fancies no loss. Stretching his bow, He unites she to he's marrow. ____________ Tried using aabb rhyme scheme (hope I'm correct ni). Hahaha. I'm out.  1 Like |

JESUS, KILL DA COCKROACHES... http://www.poetfreak.com/text/250288/jesus-kill-da-cockroaches.html They have ruled us with their treacherous rulers Soaked us in plenty pins amid cactus plants Interred our fates alive with aught afore-warnings They'd sent us to go looking for the sepulchre of Moses Whilst they and their families, relatives sit tight munching our sugars The governers had killed us all God the father of Jesus Now Jesus Kill all these crockroaches We all need to sight their sick butts Burried in hell alive for the things They'd done hence they merit that so Jesus Kill da cockroaches Flit their asses with viruses or cataclysms Kill da cockroaches Kill da cockroaches Kill da cockroaches Jesus is killing da cockroaches. An airplane loaded of looters crashed yesterday what a sad tidings Indeed but I think nemesis is doing his works So Jesus is killing da cockroaches Kill more of those cockroaches But who's not a sinner among us? |

[b]I USED TO DIE... http://www.poetfreak.com/text/249635/i-used-to-die.html Like last nice night Right after I was done with my night meal which was sweet I read this topic called mining in some text It was defined to being the extraction of Mineral resources from beneath the solid surface of the earth I squeezed the definition into my brains To recollect it whenever it's needed Yes, it was a success Afore I went to bed to nap. I napped but couldn't remember even if my pen-is works like a tap My mumsy said I was gibbering like a disc Joiky madly mixing some rap Music was said to be played closed to my nada ears but wouldn't wake up To dance to the tunes sweet enough to invite some hoped hype, News had it that my new nephew did a hot shite in my new neat glass cup One if I was not asleep I might guillotine him for, with a sharp rope But I was down there in my mat, scattered. I was sleeping but I was dead For even the I definition of mining seemed faded But the mo the breath of life was returned I got up and saw with my ears what had happened Whilst aslept or should I call it dead? The truth, no need to keep I used to die if... I used to sleep What can you remember whilst asleep? You can only remember nothing whilst dead and buried Liken So, if people do really sleep Then people do really die And if people do really sleep and wake again That means the the end time is real Hell fire is real Resurrection and eternity in the kingdom of God is also real Too titchy is the pain and mimsy of this dark world Not to fail to be amid the passengers of the kingdom of God On board in the end I know this cos I used to die And you are reeling this too cos we all used to die.[/b] |

princesa: I'd try and join... [b]The chillying air surrounding me got up and became hot Resulting my fingers to bourne shoulder-high waters Salty ones to be precise My bulbous eye balls became to become bigger and bigger For the fact is I know of a state of squalor That knowledge was what compelled water-falls to fall off my bushy arm-pit Dirty and malodorous when likened For those leaders to be blunt Had make the worlds of all seem too hard Sun shined too much perhaps she was showing signs of empathy who knows? Rain enjoined to dust away the pain caused but The muds wouldn't wobble away It was so serious That even earth opened his muffled mouths to quicken my death Dug for me a big hole to lie in and then full-stop the Pain caused by them. My heart arouse on his feet and jabbed up his short head Wooshed via the white wools that move up there And began to weep gnashingly to the face of Heaven in heavens Pleading to intercede For the wee ways had submerged the right ways in our state A thunder clap clapped And I termed that as an endorsement with a thank you Lord...[/b] |

TRYING TO BE APPRECIATIVE, LEMME 'ACROSTIC' THE WORD 'PRINCESA.' Patching around erands like a prying puff-puff Reverted me progressively to this party, a poetic pitch herein Ingenious freaks with pen in their hands used to Nicely shrink this big cosmos into a self contained room but Cinderalla, am talking to you Princesa Emotion may seem lost but believe my believe it shall flutter back So keep this beauteous beauty of yours like a useful bark Appreciate the love in camaraderieing by skipping like a glad shark. |

[b] ENCOURAGE BY SOME GOLD FISH... http://www.poetfreak.com/text/252077/encouraged-by-some-gold-fish.html It waking up when after the clock Kept running The second it wobbled toward and nudged to life with rings So surprised How many rings to be put on a lonely finger The cab was possessed The journey led to a competing site Justin was later embarrased and Gold Fish took the charge The dance steps was sick but who cares! As long as it's of owning the mights Who dare think about a threatening opposing faction? That mode had been deactivated Gold Fish at the end ended up jubilating So it was adduced to nought is ready to fail Should be surprised? Do you not need success? Why working as if you'd never fail all ready? See whether failure or success Remaining an epitome of success counts Mentality counts That's why you read the profiles and shake your head This is all being mad Is seeing freedom in forever to-life bad? Mad? If that's your mind then make it your sugar dad...[/b] |

The road this night is painful and sad... I feel like the world caved upon my shoulders My eyes hurt from unshed tears It feels like am swaying in circles Drawn by a pool of wet whirlwind I don't know what I miss But i feel the ache in every breath I don't know what I miss but i know my heart is sad and empty Blurred emotions that cuts deeper than knives Every turn is strength sapping And kneels obstinate for a single word of prayer I need angels to draw out the hurt Put smiles that can last for a single while This world ain't friendly Just a haze of painful emotions I don't know what am missing But i feel like I've lost a precious thing  1 Like |

DEFINING MY DAY... To make a start let me say... The sarcastic hail was what changed the hot channels My channel was okay, Okay? Damn calm before Wait, The marks seen afterwards, the marks made by aimful minds The soccer shoes signs and the denude of 'em signs The soccer pitch On The wills by me to amount to being of an apple of discord The archs in sixes had been appearing afore the teasings, yes The outcomes unbelievably defaulted 6 - 6 For the both goal posts, yes Was that for a purpose or what, who cares? At the arrival My arrival Won't you laugh when some drab learner tells a guru he isn't learned? The sky was snapped I saw serrated beings Those dinos that extincted a few milleniums ago Then some snooping lizard-like thing o'er there Just in the sky where you see clouds I saw seeing seas So then they asked what was up Nothing was really really up But but me no butts, it was something that brought nothing up. |

princesa: The road this night is painful and sad... Good! But it seems you write from deep emotions and pains. |

princesa: The road this night is painful and sad...awwwwwwwsomest... Let out the long legs of those lone-some lines The archs are not that further apart from thy thighs Belief in the belief to loving the force of heaven For the shape of this silly life is like one plastic ball played by kids Though it keeps running o'er and o'er when kicked That is why we are all sad yesterday perhaps Happy today perhaps Sad tomorrow perhaps Happy in the next tomorrow, perhaps We can't excape that, perhaps Just of circle, the world is The God of grace's grace Sure pass we used to say in street slangs And I think my Bible told me no state know s permanence That is why you'd see me grig always In fact to say the fact, with my teeth that look loose... |

Good morn to all and sundry... And harp wick-end loruko Jesus... JESUS'S CROSS, EVERYWHERE... http://www.poetfreak.com/text/254259/jesuss-cross-everywhere.html ...and it was written that he died on one Cross but I keep seeing him died for more than one Think of every aspect of life as everywhere Wait, he died on the cross of cause of the chores Of dealing goodly with good and evil From heaven first haven, earth and then the seven sopors in the beneath So if you try and see the passion of Christ on everything I don't think you'd be able to eat anything So even whilst am weeping like with the light on, then see crosses by the eye brows. |
