Watch Over Me (Poem by Mark Borne)

Image
By
I'm a coward,
I'm a liar,
I'm a cheat,
I'm a thief.
Watch me,
as I run
from Your love.
Watch me,
as I claim
to follow You.
Watch me,
as I act
behind Your will.
Watch me,
as I steal
Your holy name.
Lord, I'm a sinner,
So please, O Lord,
Watch over me.

    DANG. This is deep! I love the biblical ending. Poems like this traditionally "love poems", but I loved how you subverted our expectations

    You could consider using images so there isn't a gaping whole of grey depression above each post. Just an opinion :)

My Talent (Poem by Mark Borne)

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

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...
