AllYouCanEat Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 (edited) Post some poems. I know you've all written some . Maybe about the mountain, maybe not. Maybe you will just write it for kicks and a laugh after reading this. Bring it on . I could use some entertainment. I always liked this one on the front flap of the book Aztec. You tell me then that I must perish like the flowers that I cherish nothing remembered of my name nothing remembered of my fame but the gardens I planted still are young the songs I sang will still be sung... ...And just to be fair and provide some fodder for the fire, here's one of mine I wrote a few days ago (and is at hand). Feel free to scrutinize. The moon dance the river lance my soul dives the turning moon cries The sun sighs tomorrow hides But now there is no foul This second descends the moment defends No time can taint This day I paint ---a picture of my adventure an instant not distant The mountain high the bird cry The thunder cloud the booming sound pounds loud My ears my fears all emotion such commotion Yes the moment a torment a mighty ship a journey leapt It all makes sense I'm not dense Everything rings And truth sings Give and take This life you make Good and bad Take and be glad edit to add a poem that is more outdoor related.
