Что � е поменялось

Все вдруг стали не такими, разочаровующими и злыми, будто что-то поменялось, будто нет а будто да, может просто показалось? Что здесь вдруг всё поменялось. в детстве не видал таких проблем, вырос сразу навидался на всю жизнь страх со мной остался...

Failing

I'm digging my own grave
With my bare hands
My life I'm trying to save
But I'm failed by my own actions
Let this be my epitaph
Lest I ever lay in it
Joy and sorrow in harmony
When my soul departs my heart
"Eureka" my soul will sound
In a...

Junior Associate in the big firm.

Made it to the big firm

New lawyer

Hoping to save the world

Right all wrongs.

That’ll be the day

Chucky Boy.



Instead a pile of neglected files

On his desk.

Office nice enough

But soon to become

His dingy sweatshop....

Separation

Our love was a sin from the beginning,
A foolish mistake which ended without any meaning...
I can see you drifting away from me ever so slightly, painfully I wait for our end which was destined from the start
It hurts to admit that I’m losing...

Eternal Echoes: A Divine Journey

You are infinite, O God, divine,
Yet I am but a speck of dust in line.
You fashioned Adam, and Eve so fair,
And vowed they would not fall into despair.

Now I know whence I came, my Lord,
And where further my path is stored.
Your sacrifice...

I want to steal your heart.

I want to steal your heart.

I saw a photograph,
you were standing under the pine woods
and the sun lit penetrating stealthily, through the conical creasts.

You were leaning against,
a thick shoot of a pine.
Your thick hair was kissing on...

Whatsapp DP

People often comment at whatsapp DP,
Be reciprocated with an exclamation-“Yippee”.

Adios destino

Te esperé, no apareciste,

Todo parecía correcto, pero no se sentía claro.

Mi mente estaba nublada, débil y frágil,

Tal vez fuiste tú quien interpretó la historia de la traición.

Deseaba tenerte cerca, para siempre cerca,

Pero me temo...

Trust Issues

Trust issues

Here I sit
So simple witted.
I trusted a fart,
And nearly shitted.

That's a gamble you take,
And soon you'll regret.
As you scurry for the shitter,
Your brow dripping with sweat.

You plop down on the seat,
In the nick of...

    Beginning to wonder about this site. I earned the 100 free views yet when I went to use it, I was told I had to pay $10. Figuring I missed something, I used the contact us form to ask for help only to find out that using the contact form costs $1. I am left wondering if I should bother trying for the free contest submission as I may not get that after I earn it either.

      Don’t fret just yet....Though these incentive bonuses are a brand new thing (and I don’t know much about them) I do know a little about the dynamics of the site and it just may be that the master site has not been fully updated to reflect your progress....in my experience, it seems that if you do anything new after 8pm (roughly) it won’t get recorded until the next day l, so just bear with them and be looking for a notification or email.

      Thank you. I will be patient. Though, I do wonder, is this site still moderated? I notice none of the people who run it have been seen for months.

      I cannot speak to the former owners other than they are just that, previous owners ....The poetry.com domain got picked up by the Stands4 folks in early 2021 and from what l gather, our running much better than the old rendition, --but it is different than probably what you remember, l’m sure. And yes, it is moderated....

    How can we "Subscribe" to an author, so that when they post a new poem we get a notice of it? That would be a really useful thing to do -

      absolutely! Under each poet name you can click the 'favorite' button. You will then appear on their fan page and be notified when they post a new poem :)

    This new set up of poetry.com is a bit difficult to understand. No views are visible . views encourage a person.

      HI Anisa, welcome to the site! If you scroll to the end of the poem you can read information including: date poem was written, date poem was submitted to the site, how long it takes to read the poem and also the number of views. It can take a while for your poems to get noticed - one way of getting out there is to promote your poem. It then gets featured on our homepage in the promoted poems section and you can enjoy your views rise there ;)
