What Are We Doing?

(Acrostic)


Stupid. It’s what we are, even if we don’t
Try. Why are we so blind?
Understanding is just not a word we know.
Pollution. We know what it is. But why are we so
Indifferent? Why can’t we see the truth?
Death. Bringers of it to our earth, yet
It doesn’t bother us. “Why should it?” We ask.
Trying is something that was lost in the past. Caring was forgotten.
You say you fear death. Why should you, if life is what holds the terrors that are brought on by your own hands?

&

Destruction, death, devastation.
Each is full of horror. We refuse to admit
That we contribute daily.
Realization will come to late to the ones who are in charge.
Underlying is that we all know in the back of our mind, but
Change is something that we wince at the mentioning of.
Today is our only chance; tomorrow will be too late.
Instead of seeing, of listening, we turn our backs.
One mistake doesn’t seem like much, but it leads onto another.
No error, purposely or not, is too small to make a difference, and then CRASH. It’s all gone… it’s too late.

Fall into Winter

(Freestyle)


Outside one day in early fall,
I was at the beach.
I ignored the warnings
That were given to me,
And the clouds who reached.
Then the rain came in small drops
Down upon my head.
I sighed as it got harder,
And when the thunder came I fled.

The next few weeks got cooler,
Though the weather was very nice.
I was walking through a forest,
Where sunlight was little more than thrice.
It shone between the trees,
At least where it was able.
The undergrowth was sparse
It seemed like it was of fable.
The flutter of wings in the distance,
Eyes staring from a bush,
Although all these things were so,
It was peaceful and I was not pushed.

Within time not far,
Winter quickly came.
The weather once again
Decided to be lame.
At first it was alright,
Small snowflakes came in shifts,
But then it turned for the worse,
The sleet came not in drifts.
I went inside to watch
As the crops slowly froze.
The animals were locked inside the barn,
And I was warm and dozed.

The Air and Atmosphere

(Freestyle)


The air and atmosphere,
All around the earth.
Blowing, mixing gases, and many layers.

First there is the troposphere,
The layer closest to the earthy ground.
Living things don’t perish there,
And gases mix around.

Next there is the stratosphere,
Where the ozone lies.
The gases there don’t mix at all,
Instead they layer the skies.

Then there is the mesosphere,
The coldest of them all.
The ionosphere is at the top
And it is still on tall.

The last one is the thermosphere,
The hottest of the skies.
The particles move very fast,
Causing the temperature rise.
The ionosphere is at the bottom, near the mesosphere,
It stops around a little ways up,
Though the last of the atmosphere.

Those are all the layers,
Learn about them well.
For one day you may be
In the sky and
Through the layers;
Through them all may you fly.

Volcano

(Freestyle)


The temperature rises…
Faster, higher,
The steam rushes.

Not far behind…
Faster, higher,
The destructive magma comes.

Almost there…
Faster, higher,
BOOM!
The lava gushes out.

The sky is dark…
Closer, quicker,
Danger is near, it prowls in the darkness.

Destructive orange fingers come…
Suffocating, killing,
Everything seems lost.

Yet even destruction can have beauty.

A red glow is spotted…
Soft, serene,
Finally the soft red glow of cooling lava illuminates the darkness.

The Oak

(Nonet)


A person was walking in the woods
And then decided to sit down
Under a big old oak tree
Whose branches strayed out far
And housed many beasts
Who were climbing
Or flying
Hiding
There

The GIANT Tsunami

(Freestyle)


I rise as a mountain,
I crash to the ground.
I am like the Reaper,
Destroying mound upon mound.

Houses are broken,
Boats used no more.
The ground is a landfill
With possessions of the poor.

Crack, crack, crack,
Goes the woods as it splits,
Making a bigger mess
You people think it’s the pits.

I am here t tell you this,
That you need to clean up!
Things litter the ground now,
See that broken cup?

So get your brooms,
Get your dustpans too,
Pile the dumpsters
With junk that’s askew.

Careful of the glass,
don’t cut your hands,
Pick it up carefully,
Out of the sands.

Recycle what you can,
Put it in those boxes.
Just make sure
To keep it away from the foxes!

Put the cracking, creaking wood
There in a pile.
You might be able to use it,
After a cleaning up all the while.

Do what you want with the rest,
I don’t care.
Put it in a junk pile,
Or put it in your hair.

The rest I don’t know,
After all I’m just a wave,
Go on, clean up some more,
Though be sure what you can, you save.

You poems are amazing. They all seem to have some deeper meaning to them...

I second what Athie says!

[Icefire]

Hehe thanks. But thats what I'm saying, I wrote those for school. I always get writers block when I'm not writing for school. I actually wrote a poem/lyrics about not being able to write anything.
