The Writers Appreciation Thread

I once had a poem published in a poetry book.

Into the light of the silvery moon
Crept the toys, come to life, fox and baboon
They looked up into the starry sky
Leapt into the air and started to fly

Fox saw asteroids; baboon shooting stars
They passed planets Saturn, Jupiter and Mars
Then they fell back to Earth, pointing with their nose
And dived back home as the sun rose

As the morning of the new day dawned
The toys hit the dewy lawn
The toys come to life, baboon and fox
Ran back to the house and to the toy box


Before you tell me how shit it is, bear in mind that I was twelve at the time.

Thanks

Asterisk, those were phenominal.
I'm truly glad this thread got started because you all have floored me with your lovely words.
So i must thank you.
And MunchSack, for a twelve year old, thats awesome! Do you still write? Because if you could write like that at 12, i wonder what its like now...

My new poem is almost complete. I will post it on here when it is ready.

omg, omg, OMG!!! Asterik, your poems are AMAZING!! i can't even believe how beautiful they are!
Everyone's poems on this thread are wonderful, I really like this thread! XD

And DreaminQueen, I loved your poem too!! Another beautiful poem even if you didn't finish it! XD Be sure to let me read the final verse when you write one! You're an awsome poet! i'll put up another one of mine as our deal states, sorry for the delay, i had a computer virus so i couldn't use the computer for awhile.

No worries Dear, thats fine, i know how that is... Damn viruses... My computer had one for over 6 months before we did anything about it...
I'm glad you like it, but im afraid mine pale in comparison to ASTERISK's....

ASTERISK--- those are beautiful, touching so much that i actually have a tear.... gave me shivers....

Thanks very much. To answer your question, I still write, but not poetry. If you like you can read my novel and short story blogs (links in profile).

Everyone else, keep up the good work!

LIFE

Isn’t life just an interesting thing to own?
Sometimes it can be as stingy as an angry drone.
But other times it can be honey sweet
And it would seem it works out a treat

Sometimes life can put you through the wars
Whilst presenting lots of opening and closing doors
You have to be careful or else life will catch you out
And will throw you out as if in a drought

BUT (and I’ll say this quite clear)
Often life can work out a dear
It can often feel, deep down inside
That life is just one thrilling rollercoaster ride

It’s as thrilling as fight night
It’s as chilling as the dark night
It’s as rewarding as winning the race
And some great memories don’t seem out of place.

So my advice to you is this
Remember that life is not something to diss
Get out and enjoy it the best you can
If you do I will be your biggest fan.

Wow again, Asterik!!! I can't even believe someone can write like this! I had a chill down my spine reading your poems and my jaw literally dropped to the floor! I like that vilanelle! I always like a good love poem :)

And John Locke!! That was such a nice poem! Such a beautiful message. A nice feeling I don't get very often. If only I could write something like that! Definitely worth the wait! I'm almost scared to post anymore of mine now!!!

I love to write vilanelles, they are very seductive with the repeated refrain.
