I know that there was one of these started already, but here is a new thread of it. All you have to do is pick a topic for the next person who comes on to improv. (write a poem off the top of your head). The topic can be anything. I'll start.

bored
sitting in front of the television
waiting for the time to go by
not knowing what's happening in the world
The programs could tell me what time it was
so I don't have to keep track
As long as I am able to see my favorite programs
I can be lazy and bored, as long as I want


I may have got off the topic, but the next topic is Dream

peace,
Yuka

Whenever somebody feels like a fuck. I feel. Like a...................Screw up. Mother and father and family loved me. I fucked up. Drink my coffee alone now. in a cafe far away. They haven't heard from me. I am alone. I have a picture of her my good friend. she tried to save me. from an end. she succeeded I failed. Yes, I failed. This is all bullshit now.



Youth screams HELLO!

Lost am i, so make me found
You knew my scars
and deliberatly caused more.

i took mine self in.
Locked tight my caged heart,
and pulled close the curtains
against day, and light.

Why the bother?
'Tis a simpleton
who doesn't know when
she should quiet herself away.

Peeling back my onion skin
You'll see the rot beneath
i'm the broken one,
doomed to poil the rest.

Next: grace

A certain shock,
not quite settling in,
I don't get how this could have happened,
You were here,
I talk to you,
Laughed with you,
And now you've left me alone,
And this feeling is so confusing,
I can't grasp reality,
How could you be gone?
I'm so lost...

Next: lost

Fear

It's gaining on you, is it not?
That feeling that slowly creeps in, in the dark.
It doesn't let you think, wouldn't you agree?
It's taking over your body, it wont let you breath.
Your heartbeat is rising, you find it hard to gulp?
Nothing you can do about it, don't feel bad or sulk
Try to fight it inside of you, overcome your fears
And don't give up even if it makes you cry tears


Next: Grief

Sickness,
Consuming me from the inside,
Keeping me dark,
Wishing i could
End it all
Sickness.


Next Topic: Fear

Along a road
Far from here
Amidst a summer's heat
A little girl
Stands near a stream
Staring at the infinite
Possibilities.
A man walks by
And tips his cap
Wondering what such a girl
Is doing.
Before his eyes
The girl disappears
Leaving behind a butterfly
That the man catches.

Next: Being sick

Can you please tell me why?
no you won't understand.
Then please tell me where
no you can not find this place
then at least tell me when
no it cannot be said
what is stopping you
you are stopping yourself
-------------------------------
next: searching for myself

Ashes,
to ashes,
we all fall to dust,
Forgotten promises,
and missplaced trust,

Roses,
so pretty,
But covered in thorns,
Like love,
thats not love,
but the coldest of scorn.

Next: Mystery

Mirror mirror
on my face
etched in time
that won't erase.

Tell me quick and
tell me slow
what I am,
I want to know.

Forged past dreams
made of dust,
cast of death
and filled with lust.

Next: ashes

Dream
The flicker of a candle and i'm home
back to reality I realize I'm alone
What happened to better days and hope
stuck here pulled back to wars and dope
I want to be free thoughts leave me alone
the flicker of a candle and I'm home...

peace out, the next topic is Mirror

If your soul is lost,
deaparate and cold
are you dead,
or simply living?

Are you seeing what is there,
laying dead for
all the world to see?
Imperfect and impaired.

The color green

There it lies.
Take it.
Or leave me.

Next:Green leaves

Eyes

Loot at me; don't be afraid
I will not hurt or cause you pain
I only wish to be of help
I promise you I will not tell
And if your eyes have shed much tears
I'll be right there, you have me near
And if your fears make you go wild
I'll walk with you a thousand miles
Until you get to that one place
That you've been searching all this days
Let's walk together hand in hand
I'm here for you, my sweetest friend

Next: Soul

Your world and mine could never meet
A tree of light stands in between.
It doesn't change your world too much,
But it makes mine seem like a dream.
The branches of light stretch toward me,
Begging me to come nearer,
But the nearer I come, the more I fade,
Losing all hope that you can help me be saved.

Next: eyes

So cold,
your stare,
As if your eyes are dead,
Staring into the nothingness,
That has always been your life,
You desire the warmth,
Of someone or something,
Love,
seems to Holy for you to grasp,
For you are stained black by your sins.

Next: Tree

OMG, I miss this thread so much, glad it's been revived. =]

I dream in a sea of oranges.
The scent reminds me of better days.
When I was a child,
when I was timid and mild.
I wouldn't care for what anyone would say.

I say, give me an orange,
Give me better days.

Next: Holy Love

Out of control,
I feel the heat,
Radiating closer,
I curl up,
And dissolve into ash,
After crying,
I am a leaf on a tree,
Can't you hear me crackle?
As I burn into nothing.

Next: Orange

Rolling off my skin,
My hair damp,
Rain falls,
Sooths me,
Droplets,
Thousands fall,
Quenching my thirst,
And giving new life,
But I have not seen the rain,
It has not come for a long while,
And I miss it,
I wish the clouds would come,
That the world wouldn't be so cold,
And the ice would melt,
So I could smile in the rain again.

Next: Fire

History

We don't really talk anymore, you and I
Even though we said we would be friends
Perhaps we weren't meant to be, you and I
Being quiet is now becoming a trend
And we had history together, you and I
That's why it's so hard to let go
Who knows what destiny has for you and I
But this process is painful and slow

Next Topic: Rain

Waldo,
Where's Waldo,
Red and White striped,
Searching and searching,
And looking in vain,
Is it that he's not there?
Or are my eyes deceiving me,
His devious hiding,
Confounds the brightest,
Waldo,
Where's Waldo?
Why do you hide from me?
