LOL!!! Yeah, but in this case you've got the poet here to tell you whether you're wrong or not.

Passing by the shore one day,
By happenschance I did so stray, To walk along a rocky bay, Where it's said mermaids dance and play. Drawing near I saw a sight, Which to some might be a fright, And lead them to a hurried flight, But I walked on in calm respite. What I saw no man shall know, For I know how his thoughts would flow! For man's brain is but flashy show, A'fixed 'twixt mud and snow! To tell a woman would not be wise, For she would laugh and roll her eyes, Because though her wisdom she might prize, Her and Man's brain are both the same size! And so the sight that I did see, Shall be known only to me, And though my thoughts some might try to free, I shall remain firm as the oak tree! |

Neat! (That was 'instant'?) Good rhyme!
I shove a hat down on my head The mirror is my enemy This is my constant dread That I or someone else should see me Oh, tape it back on Use a hot glue-gun if you must-- But it is all gone I suppose this is just I love the internet Isn't it great? With you I do not have to fret You cannot see my state If all people were so kind To listen, only hear How I wish that all were blind But I won't shed a tear It grows, it grows! That's my theme It'll grow- it grows! But I see it in my dreams

A bad hair day
Will go away If given enough time. A bad hair cut Becomes the butt Of poetry and rhyme. Imagine, if you will, a day You do not have to dread Your comb, your brush Or any such Device upon your head. This I vow Right here and now... To say a little prayer That Rosie soon Will change her tune And grow into her hair. (Sorry Rosie!! I know a bad haircut can be traumatic. I once had a perm which literally burned much of my hair down to my scalp. It came out in clumps for a week!! Awful!!!)

Pain-shaken fingernails
claw at an impossible escape they fall, defeated. Church bells scream out their death symphony a ballad for those mourning. A glimspe in a tear-stricken eye of a grey with death thin knuckle. Not my best work, but, hey, it's instant. Much like coffee.

That's a cool little poem, Syle but why do you type it so small? I could barely see it.

Chrys, both poems are very good -- moody, almost brooding. The second one is particularly good. The construction and flow are great, especially for something off the cuff. Writing is a great outlet, isn't it?

smile for me
you hypocrites. your love is shallow; you laugh. take your frowns and turn them inside out save it for youself. take your laughing and leave me be. but only smile for me and I will be happy.

Don't dare look at me,
my dear little friend, for to prison I will send thee, for your life to mend. Trifling tiny roaches, race about the floor, in your dungeon they poaches, and crawls through the door. Soon you'll be out, and will go about your bussiness, Unless you I clout, and your head spins with dizziness. You'll run and I'll pursue, through a mob of angry men, fighting for country O so True; Soon after you'll find a pen, not of writing but of pigs, and then I'll force you, to do a little jig. Jigging can be so much fun, If you take the time, and you my friend, my son, will do it for your crimes.
