A poem I wrote for a contest :) Hope you like it :)
One day a child was bored by the rain,
Already her clothes filled with mud stains.
Her bike was rusted,
The computer had been exhausted.
Her parents could stand it no more
And made her do a chore
But still the complaining continued
Her whining only renewed
So they sent her upstairs
With a couple of pears
To find something to read
Hopeful to succeed
This war against boredom fit.
She found a place to sit
By a book filled of poems, What was in them no one really knows. She opened it and was startled To find them all untitled. But she red a few words Creating apparitions of swords! With a few more rhymes She managed to freeze time! But only for a little spell (After she'd raided the wishing well). The air chilled with a spoken line Another made a grape vine. Ecstatic the girl raced downstairs. Fire singed her hair. "Mommy, daddy!" come look With excitement her body shook. Now the whole world's startled, From a bunch of poems still yet untitled.
Amazing , the tone if you speed read it sounds like a riddle, but if you pause and reread it, then the ritual in the message is very clear. Great poetry, definitely for a con test.
This is amazing, and probably one of my favorites! I mean, at some parts it was rather sketchy, but hey! C'est la vie, right? :) ;)

"This war against boredom fit.She found a place to sit by a book filled of poems. "
Try this:
"This war against boredom fit. By a book filled of poems, She found a place to sit"
It makes the rhyme a little more noticeable, instead of having the two words back-to-back.
Also, you wrote "But she red a few words" I think you meant 'read'. Other than that, I like this poem, as it is the story of my life. Thank you for the good work, keep it up!! : )

Thanks :)
I like writing (duh), reading (double duh), tv (who doesn't?), school (weird, right?), martial arts, stargazing, superheroes, reading wikipedia articles... er, just living. I enjoy living. The small t.. more..
