    Wow not sure if I can do this or not but really does sound like fun and something new to try.

    THEME =I thought of you again yesterday

    Variations ==

    I was walking in the park the very same way
    When the scent of your perfume blew in my face
    I thought of you again yesterday

    How do I write this paper anyway
    Too many memories get in the way
    I thought of you again yesterday

    If today was really tomorrow anyway
    Then it safe for me to safely say
    I thought of you again yesterday

    I don't understand...Do we have to use the theme at the end of the stanza or what? And is it one theme through the whole poem?

    Yeah...I'm definitely willing to give it a try...But I'm confused. :)

    Theme : Trying to kill some useless time

    Variations~

    Trying to rite, and make it rhyme
    My mind is deluded with pain
    Trying to kill some useless time

    I love you so much, the more I climb
    Lost love, staring at a blank wall
    Trying to kill some useless time.

    I love the autumn its so sublime
    Like a broken season, I just sit and wait
    Trying to kill some useless time

    Bulldozed Regrets (You Knew That You Were Wrong)

    When the last drop fell
    From the many-rained sky,
    And the last tear fell
    From your over-cried eyes,
    I was still standing there,
    Heart pounding too long
    Waiting for the moment
    You knew that you were wrong.

    My mind had crumbled
    My body fell, too.
    But my soul stayed waiting
    Hopelessly for you.
    My love was such a burden
    Because I knew yours was gone.
    Though impossible, I wished
    You knew that you were wrong.

    I had already waited forever,
    But still had eternity to go.
    I stood there, looking helpless
    And more hopeless than you know.
    Yet you looked into my eyes
    And saw that my will carried on,
    And with the choices that you had made,
    You knew that you were wrong.

    But it was fun. After I was done. :)
