Poetry on Facebook

So Samantha and myself were talking about poetry over Facebook and we decided that we should try writing some together. I got on Facebook a couple days later and saw the first six lines down below waiting for me! I got excited and just started writing another verse. Since this was Samantha's first time, I gave her a color. Damon Samantha

(Untitled)

The waves were crashing,

Sails were thrashing,

The wood groaned,

The sailors moaned,

The rain pelted,

And hopes melted.

The waters rose,

The men all froze,

The dark blue wall,

Began to fall.

The roiling wave,

Beginning to cave,

Bent over the boat,

Just barely afloat.

And when it fell,

The men all yelled

And the timbers smashed,

As the waves crashed.

Greenberg, Idaho

Greenberg, Idaho

Bored, bored, bored

And the words pound me down

I write more, more, more 

It's the terror of the town

Greenberg, Idaho

With nothing much to do

Welcome to our town

With absolutely nothing new

The words are my waves 

In a place with no ocean

My stories keep me awake 

Keep me constantly in motion

In a town with low crime rates

but suicide rates so high

You always better mean it

Whenever you say good-bye

We've lost countless citizens

to the melancholy of being still

it takes effort to keep moving

lack of passion will kill

So I write to escape 

and I write to find joy

and perhaps I also write

To create the perfect boy

Because pimply, peeping Billy

And greasy, gross Todd

Are all Greenberg has to offer

I mean, for the love of God!

So I slide into my stories

Entering a magical land

With the elves and dragons

And Demetrius John Fredand

I love my mystical world

The gnomes are fun, surely

But it's handsome Demetrius who moves my pen

With his black hair long and curly

Oh Demetrius! Sweet Demetrius

With lips so soft and red

What I would love to do with you

In in a soft, feathery bed

So as my neighbors live in agony

Boring themselves to their end

Demetrius and I will spend the night

His love my stillness will mend

'Till I forget Greenberg, Idaho

A town with nothing much to do

Disappearing with Demetrius

Where there is always something new
