True love,
Who love?
You, love.
Sometimes it's not about pushing, you just have to enjoy.
Is there any way to become a mind reader?
Maybe if I knew what you were thinking,
I could do this better,
Because I'm not the greatest now.
Atticus is a perfect shot,
But wisemen don't shoot guns.
They advance through attrition,
With the power of their mind.
I miss the days in summer,
When cold rains didn't drown out the sun.
And cold winds,
Wouldn't make my dry skin burn.
I remember last winter being cold, not bitter.
Someday,
I'd like to,
Write,
A poem where,
Every,
Line is written,
By,
A different poet.
I think it'd be a cool thing to try out. Let me know if you guys are interested.
If you would like to participate, write up a line for the poem and email it to me at hardisonabbott@gmail.com. Make sure to include your name or pen name in the email that way I can credit you. I will arrange the lines in a way that makes sense to read.
Thanks guys.
Name of the poem is pending if you guys have ideas let me know, please forward this to anyone who you'd think would be interested, I want to make this a real thing.
Imagine reading a poem,
Beginning a comment on it,
Looking for the name of the author,
And realizing you wrote it.
I really did this! It's been a long week.
When did the sun start setting,
Before 5:50 at night?
Missing the sun right now.
I don't read poems off the front page,
I read the ones in 'recent.'
Why?
I like looking for new stuff,
And it makes sense that what comes hot off the press,
Cools down soon.
I've seen the popular poets,
But the new ones need some love too.
Seriously, the front page hasn't changed since I started writing here. Lots of love to the people on there though.
i like raP music,
it makes me feel like theRe are,
famous peOple who understand,
the poems that i pUblish,
even if most are saD.
Here's another writing style I wanted to try. It's kind of cool. Thanks for reading these. <3
Oftentimes
I'm the only one
In the way
Of myself
It's hard to get out of my head sometimes.
I trended for five minutes,
Not a single minute more.
And yet those five minutes,
Are the best five minutes,
That I've ever had before.
5 minutes, 5 lines, 5 words per line. Square like the dice of chance we roll.
I wish I was like a star,
And
I
Could
Shine
If
I
Want to.
Stars are so brave.
Eventually,
I stopped,
noticing the smell,
of burnt,
****.
It's first period and the bathrooms already stink of it.

This ones weird looking, very hard to write. If you read it left to right it looks like an alien language.
My dog can't see,
He goes under the table and paws at me.
Asking me to pet him, which I do.
But how does he know,
What hand is petting him if he can't see?
Sometimes I swear he isn't blind.
Excuse me for assuming,
That if I text you 'hi,'
Once in a while,
You'd want to respond.
I think it's hurting me more to love her, than it would to just let her go.
Someday,
You'll bury me alive,
And I won't care,
I'll smile way down into,
The grave.
It's a gray Monday again. It's hard to sit across from the person you love but won't love you back.
Somebody tell Tyler the Creator,
I want to write him a rap.
But when he raps it,
I want it to be the first time he reads it.
That way,
The emotional response will be original.
I love Tyler's music. He's a genius.
I miss the way,
She used to hold me,
When we were us,
Hope you all are having a great day! Thanks for getting Scrapbook Poem #5 on the front page.
I
used To
read My poems
in Talent shows
i Don't think i will this year
i Worry i won't come off as well as the singers and dancers
i know that They will clap the same for me
but Are they
really Listening?
I like writing secret sentences in these, it's pretty fun.
Did you know that,
The Earth.
Is a master chef?
Based off a metaphor I heard in a video about gemstones in science class. "The earth cooks gemstones over and over again."
When I went on vacation to Piseco,
I was exploring the rocky islands out on the lake.
I slipped and fell,
Cut my wrist against the black rocks I landed on.
My uncle said it wouldn't scar, he was wrong.
Everyone assumes I did it to myself,
But I didn't.
It's why I like my sleeves long.
Who gave you the right, little man,
To say slurs in the dark,
When the paper I write on,
Is the color of your hand.
I overheard a classmate saying a bunch of awful things today, it's sad to think that he probably believed them.
You're a gorgon,
You turn people to stone.
You set your gaze on people I love,
Just to spite me.
You turn them into monsters,
I can't believe I knew.
Anybody know the name of the monster from Greek mythology that turns people to stone? I don't remember it.
I had a dream last night,
Where I was singing Christmas carols,
With Bob Ross.
He didn't know the words,
To "Silent night."
It was a real weird dream.
Sometimes I'll be listening to music,
And the music will pause.
So I have to go back to what's playing the music,
To ensure it that it's playing the right song.
Everyone needs a little reassurance sometimes.
Sometimes
I feel
Like my words
Are just flavor text
There's a concept in trading card games, where cards will have 'flavor text' at the very bottom of the card. Each piece is a great window into the story of the game, if you read it.
Love knows
No; not so —used to express negation, dissent, denial, or refusal
Bounds so don't
Try; to make an attempt at —often used with an infinitive
To give it some.
Actually dictionary definitions of these words. Merriam-Webster if anyone is wondering.
Ofetn,
I spel wordz,
Awefully wong.
This one goes out to all the typos I've ever made. Some stayed that way.
Para hablar contigo,
C'est comme parler,
In così tanti,
Diversis linguis.
For anyone that's curious,
The first line is in Spanish,
The second is in French,
The third line is Italian,
The fourth line is Latian.
There came a point,
Where he no longer feared.
The endless stream of violence,
They faced him with.
I know someday this world will get better. Happy Tuesday!
Sometimes,
We do,
Things in the,
Dark that we so,
Desperately want people to see.
Happy birthday to anyone who's birthday is today. <3
Often,
Lust
Over
Veritable
Empathy
Doesn't work out,
The way we,
Wishing
Any
Numerical
Treasure
It to.
This one might be a little too confusing. Hope everyone is having a great day today!
There came a point,
Where the medicine,
Designed to help,
Started to hurt.
Flu and Cold season is awful. Got me feeling gray.
I have a drawer,
Full of poems,
I never want the,
World to see.
I feel like we all have poems like this.

This looks pretty cool, it's a few minutes late because I was having fun using this poems structure as a cursor rollercoaster. :)
Sometimes,
I write these when somethings on my mind.
Most times,
I write these when nothings on my mind at all.
"The Hurting Kind" by Ada Limon is a great book. If you're bored you should read it.
I'll write as many love poems as I want,
But the one person they're for,
Will never read them.
Maybe one day, just not today.
Latin is a beautiful language,
But it confuses me.
Ignis significat aquam.
I think I have to learn Latin.
This will be,
My One Hundredth poem,
That I post on here.

I never thought,
That I'd have the confidence,
Or support, to get here.
Thank you for all your positivity everybody, posting here has become the highlight of my days. <3
Explain to me how,
Going behind my back,
Is not betraying my trust.
It's been a long day. I hope it's been good to everyone.
I long for the ocean,
I long for the sea.
I long for the stars,
I long for the noise of passing cars.
Tonight there's a million places I'd rather be. But if I was in even one of those places, I'd miss the feeling of missing it. That's how you know you love something, when you can't bear to be without it.

Would no notice me.
At this point of the night, these are just what comes out of my brain, I hope anyone who's still awake is having a good evening. :)

I love how this looks. It took awhile though.
Why won't it let me,
Follow more than 38 people?
Am I not aloud,
To enjoy more than,
38 artists?
Seems silly.
I don't know if this is a glitch or there is a genuine limit. If you've followed me and I haven't followed you back, know that I want to, I just literally can't.
It takes an awful lot,
To know awfully little.
But I'll give up years,
If it means seeing you smile,
For real this time.
They smile like the brink of dawn. I love it.
Do not count,
On me if you can,
Not save yourself from,
Terrors you made up.

Don't try and trick me, I am not somebody to be moved,
Over or aside because you're addicted to attention.

Think about,
How your actions might affect me for once, after all,
I am your crush,
So maybe if you want me, you should care what I want.

After all the rest of your options are,
Gone they all walked away, maybe I should too,
And then you couldn't keep,
Instigating me into doing something,
Not as loving as it should be.
I'm in love with acrostics, what can I say. They are very fun.
When you give someone a poem,
It should make them blush.
But not redder than you,
Though, often when I give someone a poem,
They don't read it at all.
Sometimes I run out of things to say down here. Have a great day everyone. :)
Often,
I feel like,
I am a door,
For people to go through,
To get better off than me.
This has been the only one of these I've done where the lines count perfectly without any effort, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Am
I
  Truly
   As
    Unique
     As
      I
       Can
        Be
         ?
It's too early to be doubting yourself, have a great Thursday everybody!
