My least favourite?

Hmmn... well, villanelles can be a *beep* sometimes, but they are still on the upper end of my favourites list....

I just like poetry in general.

...though I'll admit that heroic couplets ANNOY THE HELL OUTTA' ME.

I like Whitman better than Dickinson, if you catch my drift.

The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

No reason but curiosity. :)

There once was a man from Nantucket. I'll tell you the rest when you're 18.  ;) >:D ;D 8) ::)

haha, that one is classic.
the original was:

    There once was a man from Nantucket
    Who kept all his cash in a bucket.

        But his daughter, named Nan,
        Ran away with a man

    And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

Goom, lad, that's not the version I was thinking.  ::)

I know two other versions... and only one is remotely appropriate to tell here:

There once was a man from Nantucket
who got his head stuck in a bucket.
'Twas worse than it seemed,
and he hollered and screamed
until his wife came and un-stuck it.

Lullabye
---
Hold me so I don't fall apart,
There are too many pieces to keep them all together.
I'm so tired,
and it is so warm and so dark.
Will you stay with me,
and watch me while I'm dreaming?
Can you see me bleeding?
My heart is still beating,
but only for you.
All for you.
Will you kiss me in the morning?
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
Close your eyes,
have no fear, my dear one.
I'm here now. I'll keep the darkness away.
I'll keep you from the cold....
Can you feel me breathing your name?
Rest your head on my shoulder,
and let your soul fly away.
I don't know how to fix you anymore,
but I can stay with you.
Winter wraps around us like a song,
and I will wait here while you are sleeping.
Dream of me....

Please don't ask. I needed to write, okey? Thanks. *sad smile*

Thanks, Demos.
Hey, as a matter of fact, I think I'll go ahead and write your RAFpoem. :)

Demos

The only thing left to fear
is fear itself, they say,
so I'm going to become fear.

Be careful,
or I might hurt you
if you get in my way.
The only way to be free, they say,
is to let go of the fears that bind you,
and to take control of your own life.

My life is my own to control,
and if you think you can change that,
you must be very fond of pain.
Turn around and walk away,
because I don't need you anymore.
I don't need any of this.

I'm stepping outside myself,
outside this world
to find something better,
something more than the chains
that you've made for me to wear.
Love changes people, and I don't feel like changing.

Even if I don't find it,
a world or a life to my liking,
I may just stay away.

You can't touch me,
you can't hurt me,
you can't change me,
you can't own me,
and you can't make me fear,
'cause I'm not here,
anymore.
---


I try to write these as words that the people themselves could say in a relatively normal setting, or in a way that they might think. I'm trying to capture their 'voice', so to speak.  Lemme' know, please, what you think, Demos, good or bad, okey? Thanks!
