MORE TO WHAT WE SEE

Told to watch and learn
But kept repeating the mistake,
Cos I didnt observe the errors.
To fly high was in my imagination,
In reality I am soaring high.
The shoes I wear,
Determines my steps to greatness.
Have got to keep it shining.
Just like the sharp pain in the heart,
So also, Like a Stain that needs to be erased.

A smile can make you furious,
Anger can led to death.
Everything has a second phase,
Even the Universe and Life has.
To possess is our property,
Also to lend is your possession.

The Sun is great,
But still have to humble itself every night.
The moon shines brightly,
But still have to give way to the rain.
Stars are breath taking,
But will have to be mute,
When the cloud pass by.
Even High Mountain get scared,
they can suddenly become plain.
No matter the number of years I have,
A day old Angel is to be respected.

Nice one merit12

But make sure all your poems are in one place
Also you forgot ur punctuation.
You didn't give your poem a title.



It will always get better pretty

Scrypt:
Couldn't sleep decided to write this...

Somebody Lied

Somebody Lied,
And we ate the words as feeds,
Lies they told us as kids,
Beautiful lies that tasted like sweets,
An assurance of tomorrow.

A tomorrow which may not yield,
And even if it did,
In abundance a bounty of seeds,
Seeds not from weeds,
In large bags and not quids,
Such viewed with raised eyebrows.

Eyebrows of the jealous with deeds,
Deeds carried at heart like beads,
Beads which has blinded them with greed,
Asked they'd refute it,
Refute it with words as shields,
An offspring he is.

Somebody lied,
When they said we'd reap,
Reap a plethora of sweet smelling mint,
Mint in multiple bundles the size of pints,
Accrued for days longer than a stint.

We believed,
We believed these lies,
We swallowed them like tea
They turned out to be expired pills,
Pills causing discomfort not just to the teeth,
Stomach rumbling to the scars from these seeds,
Now nauseated we fall sick,
And with regrets we should't have believed.

Somebody lied,
Ruminating we wonder who did,
The red coats who created the deed?
The men in opulence wearing fine prints?
Or the FEC sharing the seats?
Expectant we wait we sit,
We do not care whose head it fits,
The axe of justice must make its hit,
The liar or offspring must pay the fees.

whenever you are chanced. good night

Infomizer:
I get but since the acronym is usually a word, then the length of the poem will be equal to the number of letters in the acronym. I'm tryinna confirm if it can have more than 1 verse, say if I'm looking at a phrase as the title.

AfricanApple:
mr leki10, I know bits late but forgive me, I have a question: I don't understand renga poetry, its confusing

Infomizer:
Apparently, an acrostic poem contains just one stanza, yeah?

AfricanApple:
I just did that. what's the dead line to submit the assignment
Amen. thanks, mr lecturer. lol

AfricanApple:
what do you mean by on your thread, does that mean we will all create different threads if not where are we to submit the assignment

AfricanApple:
Jesus! I missed class today

Vibra:
Like this?

Vibra:
LOYALTY


Love is your brother
Or should I call you loyal?
Yearning for you
Admist even imposture
Lying is your foe
Till death always truthful
You seem difficult to find these days

HARSH

How can I keep enduring these pains!
Always, the word patience lies on human lips,
Ready to dish out advices.
Seriously, words are mere and cannot soothe
Helpless is the word.

You didn't answer my previous question

Ghostlady:
Mr leki10 I have a question
Please anytime we write a poem,since we are just learners..can you let us know what type of poetry it is? Sometimes we just write without knowing the type,it should help us improve...
Thank you.
