[size="2"]To read about friendship is sweet devotion
To read about love is a powerful emotion
To read of passion opens your mind
To read of empathy is one of a kind
To read of evil, gives one a chill
To read of truth is always a thrill
But one of your own will make me smile
Settle down with a poem in Moo's corner for a while.
Hi all, this thread is all about poetry. Any poem, any style anything that comes to mind. Rhyming, non-rhyming, haiku, cinquain, lyric, limerick, sonnets, ballads, etc⦠The list is endless. Don't be shy. Join in and have fun.
Ok, ok... So you've heard one of my rhyming⦠Here's a non-rhyming. Enjoy.
[/size][size="2"]Online Writer
You arrive daily with an invisible smile
I'm touched by your heart and soul
We type, we chat, we laugh, we learn.
My wise one, you are helpful
Earnest, with ardent eyes
Believing and trusting
Nurturing; even the lowest of hearts
Your joy is spread by your words
Speaking only positively
Blocking all my negative thoughts
You've shown me truth
Though it hurt
In one honest lesson
You taught me friendship
Love and passion
If you were on paper
You'd be my favourite book
Online writer, write with me
Fill my heart with words
And live the writer's love

Hello Peter
Did you just compose the "On Line Writer"? The On LIne Writer was written a while ago...
May I be bold and suggest a title?
"I Love This Tram" Can I enquire, why Tram?

"Gold at the Olympics"
By PeterJ and MaggieMoo
The journey through customs was long
Searching each item for some sort of substance
"Sports legend, my foot!" Whispered one colleague to another.

Sue heard what was said and giggled to herself
She was just about to step out into London
Her life long dream was finally coming true
Other Olympians standing along side her smiling
Knowing these customs officers could only dream of such achievement.
An Italian Olympian winked at Sue as there eyes met

As much as she tried to quell the stirrings one was strong and new to her
She had dated before and never felt how she felt right now
Was it the excitement of finally winning a gold medal
Or love for a man she had not said two words too
Go Peter... Wahooo!

He recognised Sue as the pretty girl at Heathrow
Only then did she realise he was not alone
Hand in hand with him was a woman she knew instantly
She was the brilliant Russian two time gold medalist Gymnast
Sue turned and melted into the crowd thinking as she retreated
Dad and mum will be so proud of my gold.

So I'm thinking about Mary and Richard. Remember them? How can I forget Mary and Richard... Are they not the lovers of the century????
"For Seven Years I Courted Mary."
Cosa n' pensa Mooie? I love it... Great name for a poem.
Me at the Gym <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sports.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=' ports:' /> How'd that go... <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=' ' />
The one about rhyming. Maybe next time????? Sure I know you have your heart set on Mary and Richard.
Ok, shall I start
"For Seven Years I Courted Mary."
By MaggieMoo and PeterJ
Her black curls glowed under the moonlight
I look upon her, the same as I did the first day we met
What could she be thinking as she stared into the night?
Go for it Peter...

HI Peter,
Are you ready for our Arm Wrestling Championship Match? Best of three rounds. Right arm then left = one round. Capisce? Understand completely, but I am quite weak these days, give me a few weeks to up the exercise regime and I'll be ready for the match. That is if you can handle battling against a gorgeous blonde. I mean a radiant redhead... Alright a boring brunettte. But I bet you still can't handle the heat. hahaha

By MaggieMoo and PeterJ

What could she be thinking as she stared into the night?
Mary, do you know that tomorrow marks seven years to the day we met
Seven years of a beautiful loving courtship.
Does she remember the bumbling Richard of then, I wondered
Alas, she smiled at Rchard and nodded knowingly.
What was she feeling? Richard thought
Was her heart filled with joy and ready for a lifetime love?
Or could she be reminising about last summer's holiday.

Hi Mooie Mistress of all Poetry and Mysterious Dreams.
Yeah about the arm wrestle! Babe you can bulk up all you like it won't help when I apply the heat.
Sh** if you turn up as a blonde in a low cut thingo, I got no show, I'll be too busy oggling! Fine... I wear a wig and buy a new outfit... But don't be upset if some 80 year old muscle man sweeps me away
A tough poem I feel I'm letting down the side! Nope, you are doing fine.

Mary was starting to worry about Richard's mood
There was something in his boyish blue eyes that troubled.
Richard's eyes were radiating a thought that Mary had never witnessed
And standing in the distance was a familia figure
She knew that it was time to face the truth.
I'm getting closer. <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rundog.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rundog:' /> Hahaha, keep trying.

Oh quit whinging Peter... English-Sminglish... Just enjoy the fun, cheeky.
Ponder this statement: "Fine... I wear a wig and buy a new outfit... But don't be upset if some 80 year old muscle man sweeps me away."
Buy a new outfit! OK but no mention of wearing it? In fact no mention of wearing anything? Doh! What do you have against the naked body anyway?
And what's this about 80 year old muscle man? Do I have to bat these away as well? Oh well a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do. And so you should... I mean chilvalry still exists, doesn't it? Um, er, oh, maybe I have to fight off all the 80yr old chickies... Hahahaha. Ok, time to invent a new word for Moo's dictionary.... 'Chivalret'
Enough rubbish woman let's see what you got down here. I mean the poem not . . . Hmmm!

Mary's mind was starting to spin, did Richard know this person?
Does he know why this person is approaching?
Perhaps that is why Richard is being so apprehensive
Mary senses their relationship is at that elusive point of no return
And looks away shamelessly.
Richard moves closer and places a hand on her shoulder...
"It's him my dear... It's the vicar" Then down on one knee.
He pops the long awaited question...
I can't sit I can't stand, this feelin' so grand, I'm gonna get you yet! <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pacman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':pacman:' /> I'll bet!

Sir Peter
Hi there Maggie Moo. Poet of the Millenium! Hahaha, you are a comedian.
Thanks for the Mwah. <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wub.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' /> They are rather short on the ground at times! Meaning????
Mary married Richard and became Mrs. Jones.
Oh no! They cried, too skinny, both bags of bones.
Richard asks Mary, "Any ideas to put on weight?"
But Mary cannot cook, Richard found out to late.
Here's a beer! <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piwo.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':beer:' /> Oh lovely... Yummy,

There was something he did not want to confess!
But alas he knew that she must know
He's a professional chef with his own TV show.
