James Crow

Theme 31: Flower Rosa rosa, rosa, rosa.. Why do you tempt me so. Why do you show me beauty That I can not hold. rosa, Rosa, Rosa.. I watch you sway, I watch you dance, In the warm summer breeze You showed me romance. Rosa, ROsa, ROSA! Grant me a wish, As I slowly compose. A poem to win the object of my heart, And help me win her love with a rose.

Theme 30: Under the rain Park Ave. Rainy day outside no chance to run and play must stay inside. Garb an old board game I could play this all day Although it seems all the same Landing on Park Avenue Sister owns it, now I must pay. Man, do I wish the rain ends soon.

Theme 29: Happiness Red Sunrise Sailing into a red sunrise, paying no attention to your wife or the tides. Not hearing, Thunder nearing! As a great storm picked up pace. To the shore you decided to race. Not seeing, Wife fearing! Your boat gets smashed on the rocky shore. Returning you say “You'll sail never more.” No more crying, No more chance of dieing.

Theme 28: Sorrow Widow's Walk Standing on the widow's walk, you begged him not to go. Tears fill your eyes, As you watch him sail into the red sunrise. Clouds form overhead, you surely know that he is dead....

Theme 27: Foreign The Lone Violin Sitting in a corner by a chair, lies an old violin and a bow of horse hair. Every time someone plays, it takes them elsewhere. The place the go can only be described as a nightmare. Memories of places and people they loved, shatter like glassware. As tears fill the violinist eyes, people stare. Now no one will dare, play the violin of nowhere.

Theme 26: Tears Rain is a great thing though people call it the tears of the angels I now that It hides mine

Theme 25: Lurking Danger RMS Out at sea, no more danger surrounding me. Out of Europe, the captain says we'll reach America soon. Out on deck, I see large mounds of ice. Out by the captain, he says this ship is unsinkable. Out in the water, he said everything would be fine

Thanks for the hug Appy, I needed that...ALOT. I still got no sleep though, but I did get some rest But now onward, to the poems that I have writen. ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ Theme 24: No Time Hourglass Sitting on a forgotten shelf in the back of an antique store. Sits an hourglass that never moves, and the possessor has all the time in the world. Just because someone removed all the sand.

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I have not been sleeping well due to a lot of stress from an unknown source. I have been writing them, just not posting. Give me one more day and I should be able to post them all. Thanks for understanding.

It is short, and I would love to see more but right now I am left with confusion. What was his political veiws, why is he angry, is there an early post of this story that I need to read? ??? ??????

Theme 23: Cat Black Magic The night grew darker the wind picked up and we all knew I was out of luck! A cat came into view. As dark as the void and as mysterious too. Coming closer it morphed, into a witch! Then, I remember no more...

Theme 22: Family Father When I was young and scared of the dark. I would run to his side of the bed. He would take me back to my room, tuck me in and say, “Whether it be a tornado, a volcano, an earthquake, or a flood. I'll be there for you. No matter what!” As I got older, I was no longer afraid of the dark. No more need to run to him, or so I thought. My car broke down in the middle of the night. I called him up and he said, “Whether it be a tornado, a volcano, an earthquake, or a flood. I'll be there for you. No matter what!” Then the day came for me to become a father. I was so terribly scared that I ran to the phone. Talking to my father calmed me down. I told him I can't wait to have a son. Every time he needs me I'll tell him, “Whether it be a tornado, a volcano, an earthquake, or a flood. I'll be there for you. No matter what!”

Theme 21: Vacation Mother Working all the time to keep the house clean. Working all the time to make sure the children are fed. Working all the time, covering others so they can go have fun. When is it my turn?! Where is my day off!? Asking all the time, Could you keep the house nice? Asking all the time, Could you make sure the children are fed? Asking all the time, Could you cover me so I can go have fun? Why is the answers always no!? What would happen if I wasn't around?! Tired all the time, the house gets messy! Tired all the time, the children don't eat! Tired all the time, the others have to cover themselves! Who dragged her down this far?! US!! And we're sorry mom!

I QUIT!! *gasp* You think I am kidding but no. I have been bled dry by this challenge. If you don't believe me look at my last few poems. They...exist but have no soul, no emotion that makes all my other poems good. But damn me, I came up with a poem. I will continue, read my poem and you will understand. Theme 20: Fortitude Little Sister Digging a pencil in my arm to find relief in the pain. Taking way too many sleeping pills just so I don't have to see tomorrow. Finding a razor to cut my wrist trying to end it all. Then my little sister walks in and says, Big brother, what are you doing? Why is your life so bad? Can't you keep on living, just to see me have fun? I simply turned and growled, you don't understand a thing! She just looked at me and shed some tears from her eyes. But time passes and I don't die, but my little sister is lucky to be alive! I cry in her hospital room and my little sister says, Big brother, what are you doing? Why is your life so bad? Can't you keep on living, If I promise to fight to survive? I then wiped the tears from my eyes saying, it's a deal. After that she got up and we walked together out of that place. Now when life gets me down and I want to give up. I close my eyes and hear my little sister say, Big brother, what are you doing? Why is your life so bad? If you promise to keep on living, I promise to fight to survive. Every day is a trial or two, but to my sister those trials are few...

Theme 19: Grey Overcast The cement I see matches the sky. This all lit up by a black sunrise. I fear it has started to rain. Causing a flash flood, and a tear to slip from your grey eyes. As I say I love you and hold you tight for the rest of our lives.

Awwww, you making me blush. I'll Try to keep up the good work and thanks for the compliment. ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ Theme 18: Rainbow Pot of Gold As a kid your told about the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. As you grow up people saw that it doesn't exist. But even though they called me crazy. I followed the rainbow, trying to find its end. I lost it in the middle of a parking lot and saw you, standing in a black puddle. It was love at first sight, as the sun broke through the clouds. I saw that we where standing on a rainbow! So, that means the pot of gold, is you.

Theme 17: Blood Vampires! In the days of old counts ruled from a top hills. During day they were feared, and by night they would suck you dry. But eventually a peasant would stand, torch and pitchfork in hand. Screaming, Down with the vampire! And in the end, the peasants would win. Now is much like then. CEOs rule from on high. During business time feared, and by closing they have sucked you dry. Now all we need is an employee to rise, flashlight and baseball bat in hand. Screaming down with the vampire! And in the end I would say the employees would win.

Exactly as Madrax said. It is only bad if you completely stop posting. Especially with the great work you been doing, if you stop it would be a crime! But the biggest thing is if you have fun.

Theme 16: Questions Cinco de Mayo Just chilling with my friends. Having some tacos when, a lady with some curiosity says, “Why all the tacos?” There going to more people we say. Later on some more people come. Sixty tacos down. Now we see a lady, awful mad and confused. We all ask why? As she death glares us. Later on some people leave. Thirty tacos down. With a paper plane in hand. We say how much trouble will we get in if we land it in some cars? Not much if we offer them a taco! Just a few of us left now. No tacos are left! We are out of tacos! One of us says. To fix it is simple. Hand him some money and say. Get us some more tacos!! CHOP! CHOP! Now all these questions end only at one. Why all the tacos? Only two is how it started. With five years of questions. ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ This was my actual day today. Yeah, lot of tacos.

James slowly walks into the Mighty Pen, with a pop and a grin. But upon seeing Snypiuer he freezes with horror. He runs over, jumping and shouting with joy. Seeing Snypiuer's confused look James just say, "I thought you were dead!" James then stops, quickly looks to his right and walks like a zombie out of the room. After exiting James gives a grin and whispers, "That ought to confuse them."

I also hope you can keep this up. Your poems are....awesome! It is great to get another person for the challenge. Good luck, though it doesn't look like you need it, and see you at the finish line.

Theme 15: Silence Can't Think Mind a blur. Can't really think. Take another sip of pop. Wishing it was a stronger drink. Holding my head. Wishing the pain away. Holding back the tears of all my yesterdays. Trying to figure out tomorrow when I'm not even done today. And finally, I break! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ..... then there is only silence

Theme 14: Smile Surprise Left the house in a hurry. She said, I was not the right man for her. Boss called saying don't bother coming in. My dog ran away. And then a man jumped out of the bushes and said, Smile! Your on candid camera. Everything bad, never really happened! ....... God, do I wish that where true.

Theme 13: Misfortune A Good Day Got a flat on the way to work. Got fired for being late. Learned my parents got in a wreck. Got pulled over for speeding. Parents died before I arrived. Got mugged on the way to my car. But I guess it could be wor...... ring ring ring ring Found out my wife is leaving me. Turned out she was having an affair. The kid is not even mine. She is taking everything. My lawyer gives me the bill. As he takes my wife! But I say that it is a good day! Cause no way could it get any worse!

Theme 12: Insanity Goodnight Pillows always by my head. Pajamas making sure I don't move. Mom and Dad wish me goodnight. They say they will see me soon. Whispers I hear say, something wrong in my head. Mom says the pills will help. Dad says the pills will help. Little brother by my side. Daddy says I lie. Mommy says I lie. Although I remembered they all died.
