General Art Its Raining Poetry

[Raindrop14]

Hey, I've been expanding on my writing interests and have gotten into the art of poetry. I'll admit most of my stuff is pathetic but I feel poetry comes from the heart, and speaks volumes if you can find the meaning. It may rhyme or it may not, all that matters is what the poet feels while writing it, and that is what puts life into the work. So, here's some poetry from Rainy, enjoy reading it or don't enjoy, I know I enjoyed writing it. =)


This is a poem I dedicate to my little sister, whom I love very much, and I wrote this about a year ago when I hurt her.

This Veil of Tears

This veil of tears,
Be it anger or sorrow;
Has strengthened my fears,
Of broken friendships tomorrow.

Friendships are broken,
When you quarrel about nothing.
But friendships are strengthened,
When your love bond means something.

The decency to say sorry,
To say I forgive you;
Is just a special way,
To say I love you.

So to say I am sorry,
Is to say that I love you.
To say I forgive you,
Is to say I’m your friend.

Something I wrote for the new year of 2013.

The New Year

One year come and gone,
And what have you done?

You’ve squandered your time,
And the gifts that you had.
What’s left is a dime,
Of the things that were bad.

How lovely you treat,
This upcoming year.
You’ll take up your seat,
And have some good cheer.

But it wasn’t the same,
It wasn’t even real.
It’ll be a real shame,
While they eat their meal.

You’ll sit there and watch;
They’ll be joyful and happy,
Whilst you light like a match.

They’ll never notice,
How you weren’t there.
They’ll ignore your very presence,
And go on to not care.

The time that you’ve spent,
Sitting alone,
Is the time you resent,
When you could have been known.

To be known as a myth,
Is to be killed with a cyth.
To be forgotten by all,
Is to be born not at all.

Wasting your time,
To end up like this;
Doesn’t feel like a crime,
Until they all miss.

When you squandered your time,
You didn’t realize,
That it is like a crime,
To be unwise.

With that thought in mind,
I hope you will see,
That there isn’t much time,
To reach the top of the tree.
​

Something I wrote because I felt aflame with the Holy Spirit!

Spoiler

Soldiers in Christ

Awake to another day,
The pain and the misery;
That’s all I ever feel,
Because you’re not very real.

When I go to my prison,
The one they call school;
I do my daily mission,
And try to follow the rules.

But what is the point?
To get bullied and scolded;
To have my life molded,
To what they call right.

I’m a Soldier of Christ!
I’ll fight for the Lord!
To make my life right,
I’ll rally the world;
For Soldiers of Christ!

After the day is all done,
I’ve still got some work;
I’ll work to the bone,
With chores and homework.

My chores are all done,
And my homework set aside.
My siblings have fun,
Whilst my dread must subside.

But what is the point?
To do work and be angry;
To waste all my energy,
For what they call right.

I’m a Soldier of Christ!
I’ll fight for the Lord!
To make my life right,
I’ll rally the world;
For Soldiers of Christ!

Now the day is done,
And I kneel for my prayers.
I ask only once,
Why don’t you answer my prayer?

Then the Lord spoke,
And he simply said to me;
That he does not provoke,
The anger inside of me.

He wants me to love,
And to go on with life.
He wants me to move,
The mountains of strife.

He said this to me,
“Be a Soldier of Christ.
And then you shall see,
The reward is so nice.”

It came to me then,
That I know I must be,
God’s very best friend;
And then I will see.

I’m a Soldier of Christ!
I’ll fight for the Lord!
To make my life right,
I’ll rally the world.

I’ll fight with the world,
And rally up hope;
For my light and my Lord,
I’ll follow the Pope.

I’ll fight for the Lord!
As a Soldier of Christ!
​

I wrote this when I felt I had really screwed up, but it allows me to look back on my faults and learn from them. I can smile at my past, believe it or not! Because I can see what I did wrong, knowing that I was being silly and stupid, and make myself better for the present and the future.

Spoiler

I Mucked it Up

I failed at making you happy
I failed at being a friend
I screwed up bringing you joy
I mucked up the time that we spent

It isn’t fair to you
That I had to ruin it all
I did it out of the blue
And didn’t think about you at all

I wasted your time
And I can’t even rhyme

But I want you to know
I’m sorry for my actions
They were thoughtless like snow
And I want to go back

I’ve done a terrible wrong
One I shouldn’t have done
It’s hurt you a lot
So if you like let me rot

I’ll do what I can
To make it all right
Just tell me right now
What you want me to write
​

So that's Rainy's lame poetry, I'll be updating this more as I have some other poems on my laptop. =P

Oh! Wow. I liked those. They had a nice flow and the rhyming didn't seem forced. Good. I can't wait to see more from you. C:

 

[*M i d n a*]

Not bad, Reina. I'd hardly call that lame, they're rather good.

Just felt like a poet tonight:

Spoiler

Rain, Rain, Go Away

“Rain, Rain, go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.”

It continues to Rain every day,
Should it go away?
“All the world is waiting for the sun,”
Has it been Raining too long?

Everything must pass,
Some things take longer than most;
But the Rain too, must sink into the grass,
Else it shall make everything lost.

The Rain creates a maze,
All the people see through a haze.
The fog thickens and confuses,
Leaving many cuts and bruises.

It can’t control its evil doing,
So what must it do to stop?
The Rain must leave in a hurry,
Or risk letting the people rot.

“Rain, Rain, go away,”
Cry the decaying people.
“Come again another day,”
It will leave, but it should not come back.

“All the world is waiting for the sun,”
The Rain clouds you in darkness.
When the Rain comes, you must run;
Rain will kill you, it isn’t harmless.

Rain, Rain, go away,
Don’t come back any day.
The world longs to be in the sun,
And the Rain seems to ruin all the fun.

------------------------------------

Waiting for the Sun

Rain, Rain, go away,
Come again another day.

But should the Rain ever come back?
If she hurts you, should she do it again?

The Rain rots the metal and destroys the shelter for the wolf,
In time she will erode the monolith,
And the burning fire will too, be gone.

The Rain creates chaos among the easy-going and mellow,
As ice she will disturb the polar bears,
And make the world more gray, than blue.

The Rain only makes matters worse,
Its been proven by the clever ones.
The Rain cannot help,
She destroys the kindest ones.

Rain, Rain, go away,
And never come back.
You bring evil and chaos,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

You wish to cloud the world in darkness and depression,
But the sun brings light and joyfulness.
Let your clouds of evil part,
And let the world see the goodness of the sun.
“All the world is waiting for the sun.”

Sad to say I didn't like this poems as much. The theme was a bit weird and they didn't flow. I think you have good word choices, but they don't fit together. The words just sit there, not working with the other words. I like the second one better, it flowed a bit better. The opening to the second one is better, it was so nice sounding. I am sorry I didn't enjoy it as much.

Thanks for the advice and for reading! ^^

I'm on a roll, I've got a high death toll!

Spoiler

Won’t Give Up

I won’t give up,
No matter what;
When the road gets tough,
I won’t let up.
I’ve fallen down,
So many times,
But I won’t back down,
I won’t give up.
I took on my armor,
And made a vow to fight;
I swing open my door,
To Jesus Christ!
The life of my soul,
I won’t put on hold;
I’ll follow my love,
Enter me now, O Divine Dove!
Because I am yours,
I will never give up;
I can never give up,
When to you I open my doors.
When the going gets tough,
The tough get going;
I will be tough,
My blood is boiling!
I’m sorry for my wrongs,
I want to do good,
That is what my soul longs;
Its Heavenly food.
So I’ll never give up!
When there’s danger or hardship,
I’ll never let up!
I’ll fight, or go down with my ship!​

that is awesome! The flow is nice, I loved the theme, very good in my eyes. Good job Rainy. C: I love reading your works.

For some reason in my mind, I read that poem in the tune of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song...

I don't know why, it just kind of fits...
