anise flavored love song

black as night unseen

fog fills tinting windows

bite me like I'm soylent green

I love you more than chocolate fudge
And even more than cheesecake.
Even more than the finest meal
A Cordon Bleu chef can make.
I love you more than Disneyland
More than my birthday celebration.
More then the most beautiful work
Of the very finest artist's creation.

I love you beyond the most distant star.
I love you best when we are together.
I love you always wherever you are.
And I am going to love you forever.

I love you more than a brand-new car.
So much more than fancy new shoes.
Multitudes more than a diamond ring.
I love you more than an ocean cruise.
Lucky is not a strong enough word;
More than fortunate is how I feel.
I love you so much my darling
That it seems almost beyond real.

I love you beyond the most distant star.
I love you best when we are together.
I love you always wherever you are.
And I am going to love you forever.

Like a magical romantic movie
Bells can ring and rainbows appear
And in the middle of it all will be me
Smiling widely from ear to ear.
This bit of my own poetry may be
Pie-eyed and even a bit sappy.
But I can find no other clearcut way
To say how much you make me happy.

I love you beyond the most distant star.
I love you best when we are together.
I love you always wherever you are.
And I am going to love you forever.
If it helps, I pronounce this Abee Ceebee! ~Brent

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm an awesome writer
and **** it to you

Laughing at you
I can break all the rules
And do what I want
don't you wish you could, fools?

Repetitive rhyme schemes
are my type of jam
A bad ABCB
All the way, man

Now don't you wish you could touch this
Or tear it apart
Well **** it up now
Because it is art!
I would like this to be the first poem on my page. I like to start with a bit of satire.
A The evil little voice still speaks… 8
B Says I can do it all alone         8
C Says I don’t need to call on God, 8
b That I can manage on my own. 8

A A twin to Job, I stumble on. 8
a The mental tools I need are gone. 8
B I cannot seem to find my way 8
b Or summon up the will to pray. 8

A I’ve lost myself along the way. 8
B I somehow didn’t read the sign. 8
a I cannot face another day 8
b With all these shackles on my mind.         8

A I need to fall on bended knee 8
a And ask the Lord to set me free - 8
B To give me back my confidence 8
b And help me climb down off this fence           8

A To help me overcome this angst 8
B And pity for the mess I’ve made. 8
C To help  me get back on my feet 8
b And get a new foundation laid. 8

The library had a poetry class one day. This was my effort.
In trepidation pain and angst
With three hitch-hikers on my back
All making progress difficult
And pushing writing off the track

With orders firmly in my mind
I pick up pen and go to work
I scribble letters on a page
Exactly like some office clerk.

I’ve monumental things to say
But they must only be in rhyme
That’s not my style....so i’ll just say
It will not happen at this time

So I will be the lesson dunce
Atop a stool in pointed cap
Because I couldn’t rhyme this once
And only turned in total crap

Each line is 8 pentameter beats with stress where it belongs. I got an "A" on it.

Each and Every person is
Entitled
To have an
Opinion

It’s your
Prerogative to
Disagree
With Any Opinion.

However
It’s Absolutely  
NEVER
Acceptable

To Humiliate
In any way,  
Shape or Form
Because

They don’t
Subscribe
To the same
Ideologies as you


Instead Exemplify
Love in Kindness
Humility and Honor
Respect with Grace

We need More
People Endowed with
these attributes
and qualities

If you READ a Poem
You don’t agree with, Don’t embark upon
A ****** Tale of Skulduggery
It’s NOT an Acceptable Endeavor

If your Thoughts, and Comments
Do NOT add Value
To the Poet’s Poem , Refrain
Scroll On By

Remember, The Old Adage
If you don’t have
Anything, Nice To Say
Don’t say Anything At All

FYI

A Quintain  is poetry in a series of four lines that make up a stanza.
QUAGRE means Four
A Simple RHYME scheme would be ABCB used in each stanza throughout the poem
But not a requirement., no rhyme stanzas are perfectly acceptable.  
There are eight different types of quatrains I am going to present them in the next couple of poems, that’s my goal.
