This I hear and so much more
While working on computers, there're sounds galore!

Guess What?
MORE POETRY!
I'm having a lot of fun with this.
Can you guess what is being described in my poem?
Mystery Beast
The beast lies asleep in its cage.
With a rumble and a groan it escapes into the open.
The beast is hungry.
With a loud roar, it travels the greenery for its food.
Its teeth chomp and gnash as it eats.
The monster leaves a path through the green
As it crashes and crunches through.
It traverses the entire yard, not stopping once
In its vicious quest for sustenance.
At last, we herd it back into its cage.
Now, it sleeps.
But soon, our lawnmower will be hungry again.
Did you get it?

And Still more Poetry!
Nature
the orb of dew
left from last night
'neath the cool sheet of dark
with faint starlight
sits on a leaf
where it twinkles and shines
in the beaming sunlight
as a diamond from the mines.
nearby, a tulip
fresh from the ground
is a bright splotch of red
in greenery all around.
it stands out
from the dark of the dirt
and grows tall and proud
leaves perked and alert.
this beauty of nature
as you can see
makes people smile
including me!
Tell me what you think!

And More Poetry!
The day outside is warm and bright
But I still have this poem to write.
It takes up all of my free time
Thinking of words that could rhyme.
I want to go outside and read,
Yet to my will I shall not cede.
But look! My work is almost done,
So I may have some time for fun.
It seems my work's done for the day,
Now I'll go out on this beautiful day!
Tell me how you like it!

More Poetry!
This time it's some more original poetry!
What to Write
I have no clue on what to write.
For my blog post due; this is my plight.
What topic or issue should I choose?
My time is like a shortening fuse.
Do I rhyme, outline, or just write free?
Oh, what trouble this gives me.
A sonnet? A limerick? A haiku? A fable?
I can write all of these, I just am not able
To come up with a well-written poem
That I might not finish if I take it home.
Time’s nearly up, I quickly type that:
A submission that will possibly fall flat.
I hope you enjoy it, for this is my rhyme,
About what to write when there is no time.
This poem can be found here (and yes, StarGazer453 is my TeenInk name): http://teenink.com/poetry/free_verse/article/198291/What-to-Write/
I would love to see some of your original poetry!

Original Poetry!
Time for some of my original poetry. This one is free verse, a type of poetry that has no set rhyme scheme or set line length or meter. Basically, it's just writing about a subject!
dark when I wake
drowsy and half-asleep
shuffle out of bed
slowly getting lighter
things gathered and packed for the day
unlock the door
sun is rising now
onto the bus
hear all the chatter
higher in the sky
into the huge building
unlock my locker
can see it through the window
all my different classes
sit bored through long period
patterns on my desk
lunch with all my friends
continue through the day
lower in the sky
only last period left
finally I return home
clinging to the horizon
end of the day
crawl into bed
gone until the morning
So, how'd you guys like it? Leave any comments below!

More Haikus!
Over the past few days--well, day--, I've come up with some more haikus!
I also noticed that a user called "Jenn" had some great haikus that she left in the comments. Keep up the good work!
Labs
Furry, floppy ears
Like to chew on everything
Black and yellow Labs.

Dark as the inky midnight sky
Many different shades.

Haikus!
Here's post two of two, about haikus.
Haikus are short poems with a few simple rules.
Haikus can only be three lines.
There must be 5 syllables in the first and last lines and 7 syllables in the second line.
Here is an example of a funny haiku:
Haikus are easy.
But sometimes they don't make sense.
Refrigerator.
Haikus don't have to rhyme, but they should be creative.
Here are a few samples of my haikus:
An old pond sits here.
A stone falls in the water.
It makes small ripples.
The new leaves are green.
The sun makes them translucent.
Rus'ling in the wind.
The apostrophe there lets the reader know that a syllable has been removed. Haikus do not have to be about nature, but mine were inspired by leaves and a pond, as you can see.
Challenge time! I want you, my readers, to write your OWN haikus! Post them in the comments after this post. Looking forward to reading them!

Limericks!
Whoops! I didn't post yesterday! To make up for it, I'm going to do two posts today. This is the first one.
Have any of you ever written a limerick? It's a type of poem that I particularly enjoy. Limericks are usually silly or nonsensical in some way, but they don't have to be. Here is an example of a well-known limerick:
A flea and a fly in the flue
Were trapped, so what could they do?
"Let us fly," said the flea.
"Let us flee," said the fly,
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.
The rhyme scheme is simple and easy to follow. The first two lines must rhyme with the last line, and the third and fourth lines usually rhyme, but in this case, they don't.
Here are some limericks I wrote:
This skeleton is nothing but bone
That never talks, but will groan
He must run from a pup
Or it'll eat his bones up
And that skeleton will then be unknown.
There once was a pizza named Fred
"I won't get eaten," he said.
But a boy went *much*
And his sister went *crunch*
To two children poor Fred had been fed.
Now, my readers, I challenge you! I want to see your limericks! Post them in the comments and I'll read them. Looking forward to some funny poems!
