Following are a few antecedents of my poetry and what These are some of the first poems I wrote, the headmost being the very first, from 8th grade (last year). I wanted to post them so that people could see the huge difference between what I write now, and what I wrote long ago (which wasnt long ago at all o.o). But that doesnt really matter because no one reads the dang poetry here >:O Ahem --- Through the open window there Out glassy window pane I know a little place through there Where Moon doth wax and wane (Theres a second half to this, but I cant remember it.) --- Fond illusions, reveries Visions of flight, And pipe dreams Golden skies, Silver waters Into my dreams, friend Dare not falter Break no spells Disturb not I For I sleep within the skies Perchance I fall You'd be to blame, Then dare not enter dreams again (I remember that I wrote this while trying to find another word for "fantasy"...I saw "pipe dream" in the thesaurus, liked it, and wrote a poem around it...lol.) --- Stolen from my Hallowed Ground A land of trees' and green Where the great birds, peaceful found Sail from coast to sea With life of joy, great happy mirth And air so soft, and fresh With celebrations at every birth All things caught, in lifes good net Yet soon enough do dark days come Clouds droop and touch the earth And even Golden Sun does run Evil ways now come to birth (I hate that one. Why did I post it? Who knows...its sucky.) --- Now I return to you, dear When the tides are high When the gulls are all a-sleeping, And the Moon is in the sky And now I return to you, love When the sea is all aglow When the birds sing softly in the wind And the Sun dances with the waves below So forever i'll be with you, child When the sky is full of clouds When the sea becomes a temptress And the waves crash large, and loud And forever i'll be with you, child When the sky is bright, and waters soft When the white shores are shining And when the wind holds our love aloft (Meh.) --- And there you have it
