Love (pleiades)

Lost in your eyes,
Living your lies.
Longing for one little true lullaby.
Lurking around
Like my life is planned.
Looking for someone to come hold my hand.
Love, however comes not.

i don't know if that's ok if not i can remove it

It's good Oscar, of course you don't have to remove it! =)

Keep them coming!

Alone {Cinquain}

..................Stained tears,
................From perfect eyes,
.............Can never hide the truth,
.....That she's simply crying for help,
........................Alone.

Our Sun (Sedoka)

Blinding horizan
Painting the sky with deep hues
Portrait of reflection seas

One day it shall fade
As time stills within a life
Merging like a Roman myth

Are we allowed to reserve? If we are, I want Pleiades....
I guess I'll try writing another one of those..To me they're very hard, though.

I wish you would have had an Ottava Rima or Palindrome up here.. I tend to have picked those up quite easily. =]
But I'll try, for you. =] Haha.

............Moonlight *haiku*

.....Soft, beautiful, glow...
Glaring down amongst us now...
.....Such heavenly light!

Finally {Pleiades}

Finally he saw their nightmares were his dreams,
Fire setting through his veins so bright,
Flowing feely against a midnight sky,
Forgotten are his dreams, he'll steal a nightmare instead,
For this is what the Sandman does.
Finite lines keep him away from the world;
Finally he'll take away your nightmares.

A Pleiades is a poem where only one word is allowed in the title, followed by a seven-line stanza. The first word in every line must begin with the same letter as the word in the title.
