Make The Change (Poem)

[Captainace$]

One of my many poems, Enjoy.

Fires of destruction, Buildings ablaze
People on street corners, wasting away their days
Bullies in the playground, picking on a kid
People beating others, just to steal a few quid
Neighbours checking in, helping each other out
Charities showing teamwork, thats what its all about
Friends chatting merrily, in the mornings sun
People saying sorry, knowing whats done is done
Only we can change the world, Unite us all once more
Make it a friendly place, where at night you can go out of the door
Stop the fighting, Stop the hate
Make that change, Instead of thinking it can wait

Another poem by me, Comments are welcome


Night time shadows creep across the floor towards your bed
Imagination working on overdrive, your eyes open wide watching the shadows with dread
Greenary in the shape of trees outside your window move their twisted braches tapping against the glass
Heart beats faster, you grip the covers until your knuckles turn white wanting night time to pass
Time ticks slowly by, fear grips you more, you shiver in fear
Many sounds are emitting now, you close your eyes tightly not wanting to know what lurks near
And when you do open your eyes, you see a black cloaked figure hover over you
Rearing up ontop of a horse, indeed the headless horseman has visited, your mind races wondering what to do
Even when you hide under your bed covers, the sounds still emit, the floorboards creaks and you scream in fright
Some hours later you awake to find that your covered in sweat, you now know that a nightmare had visited you that night

Another poem of mine, Enjoy reading it and comments are welcome.

Every harsh word that a bully speaks
Runs through my mind for years and weeks
I can never forget them nor ignore
Alone in this never ending war
Around every corner through every door
The bullies stand there haunting me more
I sheild myself as best as I can
Out of breath as I ran
Wanting this nightmare to end
Only wishing to be a friend
Not a target nor a foe
Not wanting no one to hurt me anymore

Its good but could I suggest changing;



Not a target nor a foe
Not wanting no one to hurt me anymore

to



Not a target nor a foe
Not wanting no one to hurt me no mo

[Captainace$]

Thanks for your comments, I think I'll keep this poem as it is. The only reason for not changing it is because this is one of my oldest poems and I like to compare my old poems to my newer ones to see how much i've improved.

[Laggings]

no mo

LOLLLLLLLLLL love that techno

Another three poems of mine, enjoy and comments are welcome

The old lighthouse
From the mainland an old lighthouse can be seen
Surrounding it are the seaweed covered rocks
The sea air is fresh, calming and clean
Boats bob about in the docks
The paintwork of the lighthouse is faded and pealing with age
Two of the windows in it are green with moss
Yet the lighthouse still stands when the waves lash out in rage
When the lighting flashes and thunder sounds as if its feeling cross
The lighthouse's oil lamp still remains as it was all thoose years ago
If you lit the lamp it would spark into life once more
In your mind you can see its strong beams across the sea it would glow
The best views of this old lighthouse can be seen from the shore

Across The Poppy Field
Across the poppy field as far as the eye can see
Thousands of red poppies upon the earth grow
The brave spirited soilders of the war from pain they are free
As wooden crosses stand row by row
We remember the great who fought the foes until the end
With wreaths of poppies in which we put onto the ground
Respect them, remember them, For a moment we spend
In silence without a sound
The soilders of the wars may in peace they rest
Forever and always, in a field which poppies sway too and fro
From the heroes to the great and onto the best
Across the poppy field the wooden crosses stand upright in the spring breeze, row by row

Sunrise
Midnight sky turns slowly light
Casting across the earth a golden glow
Awaken all to see the sight
Its the dawns chorus we all know
Sharp fast chirps emit to one and all
Hoping to wake them from their deep slumber
Flowing rivers, Animals great and small
Move around in a large number
Sun rises up in the everchanging sky
Showing a new day has been born
People awake, birds fly high
The sun beams both light and warm

You should write a poem book pls.

[Captainace$]

Trying to get your poems into a book is hard. I've emailed publishers and agents but none are wanting to take me on.

[Laggings]

start writing the poems on associatedcontent and make a little money that way + get known.

On A Horse
On a horse I will gallop free
Where bullies cannot hurt me
On a horse I will be strong
All the bullies words are wrong
On a horse I will grin
The bullies will not win
On a horse I will smile
As the bullies wait a while
On a horse I will fight
Until the bullies move out of sight
On a horse I will cheer
As the bullies are no longer near

Imagine
In the darkness of the night
Shadows lurk in the moon light
Loud short hoots can be heard
Now you see its only an owl, a bird
Creaking sounds you can hear
Are slowly sounding very near
You imagine the worst in your head
Its only the old floorboards under your bed
A claw like shadow you shall see
Its not that spooky, its only a tree
You imagine all these sights
To become spooky giving you a fright
In the darkness of the night
Shadows lurk in the moon light
Your imagination works on over drive
Where these fearfull images thrive

Thin Old Horse
I am a thin old horse
In a dirty stable I sleep
Life was not always like this of course
They had always said I was to keep
The water I now drink
Is from a pipe that leaks
Now I can only blink
As I long to speak
I wish to ask for food
Or even for a little love
I am now so frail and cold
Giving my water bucket a little shove
A passer by notices me
And feeds me a carrot or two
I am now let free
Into a feild thats new
I am loved and cared for
Eating apples and hay
I want to ask my owner once more
Why did you leave me that day


Another three poems by me, enjoy

GO ON:
www.associatedcontent.com (http://www.associatedcontent.com)
AND PUBLISH YOUR POEMS
FOR CASH

>:L

[Captainace$]

I don't want cash and I don't publish them on sites such as that.

[Laggings]

AC is a really good site tbh...

[Misawa]

They're not bad. Written quite sloppily and they're somewhat naive. You need to work on your grammar. Keep on writing.

[sLaggings]

I think he gets bullied irl because most are about bullys, but I deal with the same thing so I know how it feels.

[Blinger1]

The horse one is weird :S

[Captainace$]

I go horseriding, I've written it how I feel when I ride. If you think about it, When you do something you feel safe with and like, You feel as though no one can hurt you in that time. Grammer is not as important as getting your message through. I've got more poems not about bullies then I do that are about bullies, however, I do write the ones about bullies for the reason of to get others to understand what people who have or are being bullied are going through. Here are three more of mine poems, Thanks for commenting and keep the comments coming. =)

Autumn and Halloween
Trees with golden leaves sway too and fro
Harsh breeze encourages each leaf to fall silently to the earth below
Autumn is a season for trick or treating, perhaps carve a face into a pumpkin or two
Out in the streets, halloweeners create a perfect halloween night view
Tall old looking trees stand swaying in the breeze row by row
On the dim lit streets a loud sound emits into the still air, its only a crow
Leaves upon leaves pile up into great heaps
In which during the day time, the children run at the leaf piles, taking great leaps
Lanterns hang onto twisted branches belonging to the trees
swinging back and forth, shadows casting in rows of threes
Out in the dark and erie night
There will be a halloween sight


Spooky Forest
In a damp erie forest where tall trees stand
Row by row on a deserted land
Even on a warm summers day
The forest remains in a spooky way
Echoes of crows flapping are emitted into the still air
Twisted Branches move in the rythem of a strange cool breeze, leafless and bare
The spooky forest is a haven for many creatures both large and small
Listen hard, you may hear rustling or even an eagle call
Nocturnal creatures can also be heard, some hiding in the forest green
From fox's to hares, owls and bats all creating a magical scene
The spooky forest is a mystery and shall always remain as the creatures home
Where many animals lurk and are free to roam


An animals plea
You see this now a written plea
As an animal humans hurt me
I have a thinking mind like you
Feeling pain until the day is through
Look into my eyes, You will see the fear
I know now soon my end is near
Battered body, strong will
Broken ribs, i'm going still
Please listen, this is from the heart
Rescue me, give me a better start
All i've ever wanted is to be a friend
I beg you now, make this pain end

[sLaggings]

You certainly think you are good..

[sLaggings]

You certainly think you are good..
He actually is, he uses good grammar and has very good english. Why do you have to put everyone down? :S

[AgnesIO]

I never said he wasn't.

Just I hate it when people go 'Yeh I am the best' - you will find before you say 'you do it' I have NEVER and you could search for years, said I am better than everyone else at something.

I am sure he is good, just saying it about yourself I think is not right.

[sLaggings]

Wow, he said he was the best in his year! That soo must be a lie, because obviously schools don't keep track of those things!

God you naughty lier Cutbrakes you.

:rolleyes:

It's funny how hard you are trying to get in an arguement.

No wonder you're cautioned.

[sLaggings]

Yeah, like you have any idea why I'm cautioned :rolleyes:

And try looking back a page or two and seeing who started it?

[AgnesIO]

That's the problem with you isn't it.

You are the one who starts the problem, then you fal to see it.

I made a comment at someone ELSE, and you could not resist coming in for a little fight.

I am sorry, but you just can't realise that you cause arguements, without apparently, not even meaning to.

[Laggings.]

I couldn't resist backing someone up when you were personally attacking them, there's a difference.

[Teknequez]

You need to use punctuation, you can't have enjambement the whole way through.

[Captainace$]

Thanks for the comments everyone!

[IrishHero]

Believe me mate if i was a publisher you would be in my books :P

[Captainace$]

:D haha thanks, here are some more of my poems

Dawn Of Autumn
Autumn leaves flutter down to the ground
Creating a carpet of orange, yellow and red
Birds emitting soft soothing sounds
A few trees already looking leafless, bare and dead
In the early mornings light another day comes into view
The sun rises up across the dawns sky casting a golden glow
Slowly the golden glow vanishes leaving no clue
Trees move in the rythem of the breeze as it blows
Autumn turns into winter with each day that comes and goes
Weather becoming colder as the leaves continue to fall
People that venture out wear warmer clothes
While in the trees though leafless and bare will always stand tall


You know when christmas is coming
You know when christmas is coming when the weather turns cold
Robins begin to show themselves while christmas stories are told
Soon the decorations will be put all around the house
The night before christmas everything is as quiet as a mouse
You know when christmas is coming when frost is upon the ground
Appearing like glitter when the winters sun shines all around
The winter trees are standing looking leafless and bare
Your glad that your inside where its warm not standing out there
You know when christmas is coming when the snow begins to fall
Lying lightly on the ground, a happy feeling is felt by all
Houses are now decorated, christmas lights are turned on
Christmas is not far away, You dont have to wait for very long


Beautiful Storm
Grey clouds across the sky
As thunder rumbles through
Lightning flashes before your eyes
Rain comes down too
The storm has begun now
Its at its strongest peak
Horses, Mice, Birds and cows
All make no sound, not even a squeak
A storm is a beautiful thing
If you take the time to watch it
No one can predict what a storm will bring
So as one last time the sky is lit
With its lightning bolts
Charged with high volts
The storm fades leaving no trace
Thunder moving into the horizon towards another place

[Wig44.]

I don't like the fact that everyone seems to think that rhyming is necessary in every poem.

I've read a few of your poems, I don't like to put people down but I don't think they are that great, it's nothing personal! It feels like they have been written for the sake of writing them. You should brush up on your grammar, and use more powerful adjectives for a start. The poems feel a little drab to me, I can't feel an image behind them.

Sorry I couldn't be very positive, but it's constructive criticism!

[Narnat,]

Those are some really nice poems :) You have defo got talent :D:);):eusa_clap
