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

Would You Rather...? (#1)

By
These "Would You Rathers" are small, but they're meant to start debates. Debates, not arguments! Anyways, here's the first one: "In a mystery novel, would you rather have a friend by your side helping you while risking his/her own life... ...or would you rather have your friend safe at home counting on you to solve the mystery and come out safely?"

Nexus Mad Libs

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

Q/A With Shaly

This was bound to happen, like so much that the one that is probably next is I don't know... The Poet of Steel or Spitfire or Lady Knight, or just some other crazy. Plus, you guys know the drill. Mark's Addition : So...well...yeah, if anyone else wants to do one, let me know. Apparently, this is the thing to do on my blog right now, though I admit, I have no clue why.
