Joyous riding atop one wheel
Down the hill I go
Sights and sounds and smells abound
Down the hill I go

Flying through the air I see
Ground rushing up to me
No more thoughts of sights and sounds
Ground rushing up to me

Blood and bruises on my legs
Limping up the hill I go
Joy is gone, replaced by pain
Limping up the hill I go



Okay, I have no idea how to write poetry. I have no interest in poetry. The above took about 10 minutes. Don't judge it too harshly.

Agreed!

You're pretty good Uni57. You should consider writing more. I know you have no passion for it, but you have got some talent.

I had a good laugh after reading it.

Ok here's one I just wrote rather quickly. It's based on my elementary school days. (Not very fun times for sure! )

"Be yourself" by Terry Peterson 5/29/07

So long ago, though it still seems aloof,
When we played after school, and smoked on the roof
They expelled me for joking, and riding my board
And tried hard to “mold” me, by quoting the Lord

And still to this day I remain an outcast,
In their eyes at least--but not mine…
If there’s one thing I’ve learned,
It’s to just be yourself, savoring life like a good glass of wine!

Thanks Bob, I "modified" it a bit at the end so you may not have seen that since I *just* changed it.

Oh sorry Michael. Ok here's another one that I just wrote, this time I purposely didn't rhyme and just kindof put down thoughts as they came. Kinda personal thoughts, but hey that's poetry sometimes, right?

"Look back no more" by Terry Peterson 5/29/07

Alone is my life, away from the crowd
Coming out of my shell trying to connect
How can I relate to a world so removed?
How can life find me when I can’t find myself?

I want so deeply to give love and be loved
I’ve been there before but can’t quite remember
Blocking out the pain of loss, and her beautiful face

I must resign myself to a lonely existence
Accepting that life is in its endgame
But I did have one true love, which has long past
And for the rest of my days I will look back no more…

Ok, a happy one this time!

"My playground" by Terry Peterson 5/30/07

The mountains’ my playground, a place to unwind
Where negative thoughts are left far behind
I’m one with my muni, and find strength from within
As adrenaline, ‘dorphins begin to kick in

We’re shreddin’ the trail all rocky and loose
Although it’s built strong, it can take my abuse
Muni’s engrained and a part of my life,
Without it I guess I’d consider a wife

But until then I say, I will always be here
Just me and my Muni, without any fear
Exploring new vistas and lush mountain sides
It's the best "high" by far, that nature provides

Haha, nothing personal, just having fun at your expense!

Damn, I'm good! Here, I'll start....+1!

lol Uni57 that was great for only ten minutes of thinking.

I used to like poetry untill i found out that there are poems that dont have to rhyme or follow rules. Then everything became a poem, i began speaking in verse and it all got quite our of hand. Now i seldom rhyme
