Welcome to the Poetry forum! To get things started, I'd like to post a few general rules:

1) If posting another's work please provide as much reference information for the author as possible.

2) Keep it clean!

3) Have fun!

Here's an example:

Alone, by Edgar Allen Poe:

FROM childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then - in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life - was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.

the end:

Being a couple,you and me,
Was always a thing meant to be,
It made me feel we got aroung that bend,
Only it turned out a big dead end.

I couldn't say i loved you,
But it felt something right to do,
Cupid had hit me with a big red dart,
And then soon i gave you my heart.

The times we had were so much fun,
Playing around, and soaking in the sun,
I always felt happy just see you smile,
But the time was short only for a while.

And now it comes to the end,
I guess you were meant to be my friend,
I feel inside my heart so shattered,
I just want you to know how much you mattered.

Now beside this poem i have something to say,
to all those girls being sad all day,
sometime you'll find that special one,
who will always be happy to get things done,
sometimes things will turn out bad,
but please you cant always pretend to be sad,
theres some things youl'l have to understand,
life cant always end on a beach with golden sand,
so always forgive the one hurt you,
lifes like that its what you do.

there is a dog with a big afro
that follows me around were ever i go
my daddy says it don't exist
but i have seen it in the sky
and even in my rice bowl dish

the other day i was at the park
when all of a sudden the sky grew dark
i looked above the conveince store
i saw it lumber round the corner bigger than a dinosaur!

this is the afro-ken theme song and its alot longer but my kebord doesn;t type japanese so i hope u like it. i guess it's just nonsence but the song is really good especally the japanese part!
