Welcome to my Poetry Thread! The newest poem is always on top. The Poem's title will be in italics. All poems are original by me. Hands
So, you're a handful? I'd rather have a handful, than an empty hand. I'd rather have a handful of your hand.
Words
Words are not insolent. Words are virgin vessels, adopted and sent by those with intent. Words are innocent. Intent isn't.
Grand ol' Man
We all lived with the grand ol' man. Grand ol' man's had a trigger happy hand. Staged the death of his own land, just to legalize his contraband.
Do you remember where you were on the day When the lives of our brothers were wished away? When we all had bowed our heads and prayed, to know if the sandman was predator, or prey?
We all lived with the grand ol' man. Grand ol' man had a silly little plan. Sent our children to a foreign land, to find the bombs that no one had.
Do you remember when they found black gold? When the grand ol' man, who be wrinkly and old, as the tell-tale bells of war time tolled, let his diabolical plan of war time unfold?
We all lived with the grand ol' man. The grand ol' man grieved for the land rebelled in anger against the sandman, now he's nothing more than a grand half man.

Bump. New Poem, Words. It's short, and sweet, though not as short as it was originally. I believe it's the best of all I've written. Tell me what you think!

I've decided I like to keep my poems short and sweet. When I start writing, most of the emotion goes into the first 5 lines or less. So if I keep them that short, the entire poem is true to my emotions, rather than the first few lines. I uploaded a new one, another short one. It isn't quite as romantic as it sounds, i don't think. It's more to any friend who is afraid of being a burden, which I'm sure some do.
