Midnight Laughter (Nonet)
by: Angela

laying in bed as the clock strikes twelve
eyes open wide, covers pulled tight
haunting shadows dance on walls
the fear within causes
laughter to erupt
then realizing
it soothes my
aching
heart

lace curtains hang
in the open window
fluttering from the warm spring breeze
brings the feelings of peace and love within
white and pure, handmade from an old
forgotten wedding veil
once again hangs
pretty

My Hero, My Love (Acrostic)
by: Angela
CC&P

Match made in heaven
Yin and yang

Holder of my heart and
Eternally devoted for he
Rescued my soul from despair
One life we now shall lead

Makes me feel alive because
Youthful he'll always be

Loving touch so passionate
Opened my life up to new things
Valiant he can be
Everlasting love for him I've found

for my eyes of blue shall see crystal clear

Living (Rictameter)
By:Peter DeJesse
CC&P

Life to the max
Live like it's your last day

To be able to say, been there, done that
Your epitaph will ask to all
How did you spend your time?
My time was spent

Anyone can clearly see how
Naughty she can sometimes be
Gentle and warm is the woman inside
Even though she seems tough on the outside
Loving life and living a dream each day
All can see her beauty as she's walking your way

Teardrops (Rictameter)
by ♥Ann~Stareyes♥

CC&P

Teardrops
Each one that falls
Holds precious memories
That I will always recall
Just remember when you see a teardrop
That flows so freely down a cheek
I hope at that moment
You'll think of me
Teardrops...

The Heart Wins (Nonet)
by Ann~Stareyes

Sometimes temptation controls our hearts
Little voices start to be heard
Feelings begin to surface
Love speaks to us within
How do we control
Our hearts desire
Loves Spoken
The heart
Wins.

Grandma's Love (Etheree)

Gift
of love

Never will there be a greater love

Equisite Love (Hybrid - Nonet-Rictameter-Reverse Nonet)
By Steven Beesley
CC & P

Mesmerized by your every soft touch,
bringing forth exquisite feelings.
Each moment of bliss lingers,
enjoying your caress.
Warmth of our bodies
is so Divine,
heavenly,
we now
kiss.

Our love,
heated passion
escaping all of time.
We are lost within each other,
together bonded in our long embrace.
Have eyes only for each other.
Our minds communicate
without any words.
Our love.

Love
has bound
us now and
eternally
together as one.
We know of no beginning
and we cannot see any end.
This love, a gift from heaven above.

Math (Senryu)
Bill Turner
CC&P

I really hate math
Poems should not require counting
This is my protest

Senryu: Japanese style short poem of 3 lines with a syllable count of 5-7-5. Usually on a personal or funny subject (not about nature). Does not usually rhyme.

From The Mist (Rictameter)
By: Kim
CC&P

Falling
Ever so soft
Upon the jade green leaves.
She waits, forlorn, for the moment
That her lost soul is ensnared by the mist
And the branches dance in the rain.
Brought back to life by hope
And no longer
Falling
******************************************

Dark Mother (Haiku)
By: Kim
CC&P

Hauntingly the wind
Sings beneath the silver stars.
A child of the night.

Ageless Grace (Senryu)
By: Kim

Softly spoken words
And your gorgeous eyes convey
Eternal beauty

Soul Sisters (Etheree)
By: Kim
CC&P

Warm
And close
Your hands are
Always ready
To support my dreams.
Together we challenge
The world to do what it will.
For we will not falter against
Any mortal trouble for we are
More than mere friends and share more than just love.

“if there were no light, there would be no shadows” (Nonet)
By Marjan from EOP

When darkness come covers the brightness
When shadows fall on the ground
Some of us sad will be found
Not knowing that these are
The spice of our lives
The other side
Of light in
Disguise
Rise

My mum and dad (Double Etheree)

from
the first
Blessed was I
In their embrace
Learned how to smile,
To never cry when I
Fall and when plain am called
Soothing & gentle winds they are
Sent by God, so caring, kind, divine
Precious guardian angels of mine

Taking the time of their lives teaching me
How to open my wings and be free
Grown up by their side, been guided
Watered by their lullabies
Am ablaze with their grace
With a love that won’t melt
Mesmerized by
The look in
Their eyes
Shines

~Heres three of mine~ (EOP!!)

Reality of Dreams (Etheree)

Day
dreaming
peacefully
fading slowly
Gracefully floating
Blooming comfort settles
Withdrawing nightmares of day
giddiness flourishes throughout
Capturing happiness, so we think
disguising reality making dreams
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

God’s Angel (Double Reversed Etheree)

Immersed with a never ending pure gift
Embracing her father’s tender love
Imperfect unlike most her kind
God’s most favorite angel
Closest to his own heart
Created special
To show to all
Perfection
Is not
Love

Nor
Is it
Appearance
To show the world
This appalling girl
With tattered wings of brown
With riven tarnished old clothes
Straggly, gloomy, filthy black hair
With a sharing, loving heart throughout
God’s most favorite angel of true love
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heartless Fate (Nonet)

Gradually the meaning fades
Forgetting our peace, love and faith
A generation at risk
Blooming in no respect
Losing compassion
Growing stubborn
Heatless fate
Leaving
Hate

Tell Me (Rictameter)
By: Amanda Bee
CC&P

Tell me
Do you love me?
Or is this just a game?
Do you feel tremors in your heart
Whenever you hear the sound of my name?
Let the words tumble from your mouth
And roll off your sweet lips
Don't hold back, just
Tell me

______________________________________
Hopeless (Nonet)
By: Amanda Bee
CC&P

Can you not see that I adore you?
I’m hopelessly living for you
But you simply walk away
And leave me standing here
In the doorway of
Your selfish heart
Praying you’ll
Come for
Me
___________________________________
Puddle of Tears (Double Etheree)
By: Amanda Bee
CC&P

So
Here I
Lie in my
Puddle of tears
Wishing you were here
To wipe away these fears
With my head upon your lap
With your hand stroking me on my back
With things back to the way they used to be

When you’d comfort me in your arms and say
Not to fret ‘cause things would be okay
How’d you always know that they would?
As you’d kiss me on my head
Each time there to save me
From sinking in sobs
But without you
Mom, surely
I will
Drown

A Butterfly's Wings (Haiku)

Swirling rich colors

Soaring through the sky

The Affair (Senryu)
By: Amanda Bee
CC&P

So she'll never know
About this affair? Promise
Me you'll leave her soon...
_______________________________________
Pretend (Acrostic)
By: Amanda Bee
CC&P

Just hold me close in your arms for this one exquisite night
Until we can see the beaming of the sun’s glowing light
Seduce me with your eyes as we begin our lover’s game
Touch my body and caress me as you call out my name

Pretend that it’s only me that your untamed heart desires
Romance me with hot kisses and ignite my tempestuous fires
Enter my sultry softness as I nibble on your ear
Tell me those sweet lies that I need so desperately to hear
Even with the knowledge that I’ll never have you for myself
Now just pretend that it’s me you want; only me, no one else
Delude me with pure delight, if just for this one exquisite night

Fading (Rictameter)

Fading
are the moments
we once shared as lover's
youthful carefree and unaware
of the tragedy that lay before us
not knowing of the torment we
were destined to face as
our love began
fading
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Writer's Block (Nonet)

Words elusively step beyond reach
teasing me with avoidance as
I grasp for inspiration
only to find that my
ink well has run dry
leaving me to
overcome
writer's
block
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Left Among the Thorns (Etheree)

Hope
falters
gracefully
from within as
I watch love bloom like
a crimson rose between
my heart's desire and the
beholder of evil engaged
in a rhapsody of bliss while I'm
left among the thorns of what could've been
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Murderous Moon (Haiku)

Iridescent beams
from above mirror the stars
killing the darkness
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Faltering (Senryu)

Faltering beneath
the weight of my existence
as my spirit breaks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Indelible Flaws (Acrostic)

Incensed with anger
notably without cause
dangerously close to the
edge of madness
lost in a sea of
insane notions
becoming that which
leaves me terrified of
emotion

Forcing myself to
linger in oblivion
as I grasp for
what appears to be
sanity...but falling short

EOP......of course :)

That is a nice poem Aashtik

A hidden message behind an ode to the luminous young moon...

(Acrostic.. I'm losing you my love)
Katie.... the one and only CC&P

I'm losing you my precious love
Memories are falling from far above

Life flashes by in but an instant of time
Oh to be with you again for those moments sublime
Singing sweet nothings to you beneath the oaks in the park
Inside your body in the warmth of the dark
Near to your heartbeat which beats with such life
Going nowhere together, forgetting our strife

Your eyes twinkle gently beneath the candlelight moon
Our hands clasped so tightly, you're leaving so soon
Underneath distant mountains, over rivers and seas

My heart beats for you dear, my heart beats for thee
You are my ressurection my shield from each foe

Longing to be with you in each world where tears flow
Over the sunbeams and beneath the lies
Variations of moonlights reflect in our eyes
Everlasting I thought, but your love it has died

Winter's Cloak

Flurries of cotton fall from the sky
disguising black beneath white as
mother nature spreads her wings
spirits are lifted high
tis the time of year
when love descends
upon home
welcome
snow

Don't look back (Etheree)
By: Melissa
CC&P

Don't
look back
at her face...
You have to let
that little girl grow,
a woman awaits her...
Kiss the tearful past goodbye,
shake hands with the unnamed future...
Don't look back at her innocence lost,
stop serving time for olden days of pain...

-----------------------------------------------------------
Flower child (nonet)
By: Melissa
CC&P

The flower child breathes in harmony
and exhales peace through paper dreams.
Clouding the precious daisies
messied in her long hair,
with transparent smoke
from the fragrant
scent of hope
that still
burns.

-----------------------------------------------------------
She cries (Rictameter)
By: Melissa
CC&P

She cries
fields of daisies
a constant stream of tears.
Liqueur of pain washes the soil
bringing to life an innocent flower.
Shades of white caress the sunlight
a soft gleam of bright hope.
Cradling dreams,
she cries.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Pink fleshy heart (acrostic)
By: Melissa
CC&P

Pink bubblegum stain, filled with longing
Inside the boundaries of our skin.
Notice it's shape, constantly changing
Keeking at it's ever changing scenery.

Fact says it's oblong in fleshy structure;
Longing for hands to mold a home
Entirely made out of God given love,
Since the blending is no longer adaptable.
Happenstance occurs when shields are melted
Yelping it's okay to come out and play.

Hungry for the eyes of lovers on the street,
Eager for some familiarity of romantic movies.
Artful in bloody design thirsting for holy wine
Rearing it's voice of twentieth century poetry,
Take me, for I'm starting to blend into the scenery.

Heartache
tears burning hot
my fragile heart falling
a pain stricken soul lost,alone
my world broken,shattered into pieces
hide from the pain of memories
can't move on without you
crushing torment

Title: Fading Away To Forgotten

She's
grown old
tired, weak
forgotten soul
age her enemy
time passes in a blur
her once beautiful body
like a delicate sand sculpture
silky bronzed skin,one of perfection
washing away, fading, now forgotten

her painful cries of sadness,unnoticed
family has long now betrayed her
memories hold her fragile hand
comfort to her lonesome heart
tears fall from ancient eyes
flowing through a maze
of wrinkled skin
resting upon
frail ,weak
hands

Title : Honey I Do Love You

Honey I do love you
O handsome prince of mine
Never far from my thoughts
Every night in my dreams
You are my everything

I never wish to live without...you

Darling sweet compassionate man
One who forever holds my heart

Life and love we built together
Old and grey we will grow someday
Vital part of my life , you are
Every minute without you , seems forever

Years of happiness ahead
Overflowing love for thee
Until my last breath and beyond

Luanne I loved your senryu!!!!

Did I just hear someone say that CC&P is awesome?!?!?
