The Wrapper

With colors of pink and purple in swirls everyone can see
You wouldnt think a wrapper could be as beautiful as me

with a colorful zebra dancing from side to side
With bubble letters reading "Fruit stripe" im prettier than a wedding day bride

All the other wrappers stare in aw as i pass by
I cant help it is a beauty i just cant deny

There always fighting of who can sit next to me
I try and calm them down letting them know my beauty they will all be able to see

Just Yesterday Extra wanted to see so he knocked out orbit
Its a undenyable want that just wont quit

The bubble gum is usually prettier than its wrapper but not in my case
I have such beauty that nothing could even try to replace

So if you want the prettiest wrapper you have ever seen
dont be shy go ahead and pick up me..

Wow! I thought it was going to be hard doing the wrapper but u proved me wrong!

please reserve PENCIL LEAD for me...im gonna do it very soon...i gotta flashy idea ;)

Pencil lead is no longer reserved...People said that it should be a first come first serve basis and I agree 100% so Pencil lead and Fingernail is no longer reserved.

Hey could you please reserve a fingernail for me..

finger nail is no longer reserved

straw (like the liquid slurping device?)

ode to straws

a colored spindle
connecting water
to the oriface of life
that which carries liquid
of sweet nectar or burning alcohol
to the nourishment,
sustanence needing body
that striped cylinder
with lines of
roses or oceans blue
that pipe of love that
pulls your hearts desire in you
the straw is the savior
the sustainer
the life giving cylinder

~Bad Egg~

A bad egg, is an egg, that's made a wrong turn.
Leaving its family and friends quite concerned.
A bad egg is a person down the wrong path,
but they can be saved, if you do something fast.

People make decisions, that are not always right,
they'll drink or do drugs, and sometimes they'll fight.
People do deeds that I can't comprehend,
I wonder, what they think of the message they send.

The message they put out to the people they love.
They curse at the sky, as if it's something above.
They take no advise or responsibility,
for the actions they take, that seem so wrong to me.

But, people can always turn life around.
Making people surprised, is a feeling profound.
Getting back on track, can cost you an arm and a leg,
but in the end, there's no such thing as rotten eggs.

~Sean Dohr~

Rotten Apple
------------------------

Lying, lonely, in the rain
The greenish hue begins to fade
Droplets, falling to the drain
The apple core remains unswayed

To the naked eye, it seems
The apple core is old and dead
But in the world of countless dreams
The apple core is way ahead

Two-toned, colours blend
The dark green, and the lighter core
Twirling in circles that never end
Dancing, in the rain, on the floor

Apple cores are never the same
Individuals, red or green
They way they're bitten determines the frame
Eye-like pips that stare, but never see

The apple core is a beautiful fruit
For though eaten, it remains as so
Green and pale, mysteriously mute
And from this perfection, a plant will grow.

Life of a Hair Tie

Laying discarded
Against the cement ground
Trampled and walked on
But I make no sound

Once had a good life
I saw many landmarks
But got blown away
When the sky became dark

Once had a little girl
Was her favorite accessory
New, strechy and pink
Now forgotten and dirty

Carefully crafted
To make a girl smile
Among the trash now
Reeking of bile

Another day, another hair tie
Tis the way of society
Another day, another hair tie
But no luck for me

Hi,

This contest is really a cool one, very nice theme but to be honest this reservation thing is quite not fair, i mean contest should be done in an instant. First come first basis, i entered this contest and then looking at the subjects and finding one of my fav topic was good until i found that it has been already reserved.

Well this is your game and you make the rules, i just shared my opinion.

All the best with your contest..take care

yeah same here it isnt fair to do that but its your contest your rules

tab

yeah i know i already contacted those people and told them that the reservations are off...so if you want to write about one of those things you can...

Finger Nail

Sitting there right next to a window
and watching strangers walking by
i know the one you are looking for
the one living just a bit further from the end of sky

here lying on the bed all alone
and watching wings of my dreams flyin by
do you know i only think about you now
as i feel my dreams touching your skin at the end of sky

mirrors don't show the real me anymore
as every reflection has denied the truth
your face is now all i see everywhere
since i have fallen right on my face for you

standing there all alone in the darkness of night
counting stars till i make you smile and you have to start again
i know the one for whom you want these stars to shine
so you spread them along with your love till the end of sky

staring at my finger nail and wondering
if for once it could touch the edge of your hair
stretching as if i could reach to the end of sky
opening eyes and realizing no one is there

mirrors don't recognize me anymore
as every beat of my heart has denied the truth
your soul is now what i feel all the time
since i have fallen hard just to love you

oh damn, i had gone outta town. i already wrote a poem for the pencil lead :(
contest closed. see if u can gimme any consolation..lol...i'll just type out the poem

4 imp lessons 2 learn frm a pencil... 1st it tells u tht everythin u do will always leave a mark... 2nd u can always correct da mistakes u make... 3rd wht is imp is wat is inside u n not outside ... and lastly… in life u will undergo painful sharpenings which will make u better in wat u do…

WISDOM PENCIL

Every thing in our life holds a meaning
Every object, every omen hold words unsaid
White walls talk often, but we never listen
We can learn a little from every crumb of bread
If only we seek to know what lies beneath
Wisdom can flow from even a pencil lead

We never look beneath the outer beauty
Let our eyes drink but the external face
But now see what I show you, come with me
That black graphite beneath the surface
Dull and soft, captive in yellow paint
Tells a story from within its wooden case

Listen close enough; the lead will say:
Everything you do always leaves an imprint
Like each time the graphite marks the paper
So does every action decide our life’s tint
Though the lead may never say it aloud
Look beneath; you’ll get the hint

Dotted your Ts and crossed your Is?
Worry not, the eraser works just fine
This is where the second lesson lies
Mistakes get sorted, both yours and mine
So let us not be captives of our pasts
God gave us a life, but not to cry and whine

To learn some more you must visualize
So close your eyes and try to imagine
A pencil not of wood, but wrought in gold
Only this one lacks the lead within
The outward charm holds no value if
The heart rots beneath the veiling skin

Pain is a blessing, sometimes disguised
For then experience enters our door
And our lives get better and more sublime
A lead would teach this, lesson number four
As sharpening a pencil causes it pain
But better it gets, penning poems and more…

We humans believe we know it all
And that there is no superior being
But sometimes we must humble down
And cut off our imaginary silver wings
Because from bins of dust to pencil leads
A lesson resides in every single thing.
