Grow Up (Poem by Mark Borne)

Image
By
You told me I was your best friend,
You told me we'd do great things,
You told me we were meant to be,
You told me our love would never die.
You told me we'd be Romeo and Juliet,
You never told me that one day we'd grow up.

Mark's Addition: Posted at the exact same time is Kyra's newest poem, "You Told Me". She basically plagiarized all of my unwritten poem ideas when she wrote hers, so mine isn't as closely connected to my emotions as I'd hoped to have it, but I think it all turned out fine.

    Well that was a stab to the heart and one of the truest poems I've ever read, w o w

      Lol Thanks. It's a release of a bunch of emotions that have built up over about a decade :P

    Your welcome for stealing your idea. I'll love to see your original poem idea, though.

    Your poem is SO much better than mine is. It deserves to win. It has so much more emotion and is way more realistic than mine is. And then the final blow is when you mentioned growing up. It ruins everything. A slap in the face. XD

      I don't have an original poem idea, anymore. I never got around to committing it to memory after I realized I was copying you lol

      You get, like, 10% credit, though. I was originally going to write a poem called, "You Told Me" which was an accusatory poem towards one friend I had, but after I saw yours, I decided instead to write a poem called "Grow Up" which is a mournful poem directed towards a different friend lol

      Yup! You were coping me, not me psychically seeing your idea and copying YOU. XD

      I'll take it. Does that mean I get 10% of your views for the contest. ;)

      "Coping" or "Copying"...? xD

      Nah. If you read the email I sent, you'd know I judged based off likes in the end, and we tied. If it was comments or views, I'd have won

      Maybe both! Maybe I was coping BY copying. XD

      lol, true.

      Even if I gave you 10% of my post's views NOW, you'd still come 1 view short. Back when the contest ended, it'd have been a bit farther away

My Talent (Poem by Mark Borne)

By
Many places, I've come to know, People of different cultures, too; They all have their thing, Something that they can do, But not me, not yet, My talent has yet to show up. I write and write, plots And twists and poems and Even the rare favorite of The readers I've lured And ensnared in my blog. Yet deep inside, I force myself To write the words that meet The lines of text and thoughts. Then I turn to run, and Find the wind upon my face As I escape my life, But it always catches up, And the worries I face Distract me, making the Outside world obsolete. Even in reading, I find Myself buried in stories That show misfortune in the Lives of fictional characters, Directly only to do as they Were told by the writer. And yet, in stories there is a Beauty unmatched by reality, A world that eventually Results in kindness and Peace and excitement. And being in those worlds, If only for a mere moment, Is my hobby. If only I could Be the character in the ...

Nexus Mad Libs

By
I assume most of you are familiar with what Mad Libs are. Basically, you're given a bunch of blanks to fill in, and you do so without knowing what the story is. Each blank has a part of speech labeling it, and that blank needs something that fits the part of speech. For example: Adjective: ________ --> Adjective: Explosive In the end, we usually have a hilarious end result that makes no sense whatsoever. One example is this (which is a real result I got once with my siblings): "Another way to help you fall asleep faster is drinking a nuclear glass of warm vinegar ." First, let's go over some rules. Obviously, keep it family friendly. This still goes for all blog content. Do not submit two words in a row. Submit one, and when someone else does one, you may do another. Submit through comments. That'll make it easier for me to assemble the final result. The category is Medieval Heroes . Here are the blanks: Adjective: Constipated (Kyra) Per...
