Thanks for the entries!

Please forget my entry, I have a lot of things to deal with in rl and don't have time to write anything. So sorry.

I wrote this at school about war :

Walking onto the beach at Gallipoli,
My heart beating at an incredible rate,
Dieing people screaming for help,
Blood spilt on the pure whit sand,
Bullets rain down from the heavens.

Running down the streets in fear,
Playing a deadly game of hide and seek,
Death at every corner,
Poor people getting shot.

Getting into a plane,
Flying up high from enemies,
Zeppelins chasing rapidly,
Landing home to loving families,
We will remember them.



And here's another about slavery:

Among me they are screaming and crying,
Piercing th blood soaked air,
Above me i hear drunken sailors laughing with
bellies of my dream.
Behind me i hear footsteps,
Like the devil in his den,
Over me a sailor wraps his hands around my shoulders,
I am thrown on to the deck,
Like a coconut thrown onto the ground,
Above me my new white master waits with a cruel and
empty heart.
With a jolt of the boat we land hoping that
they do not whip us,
Cruelty tearing are souls to pieces,
In front of cotton fields and sugar canes we stare,
Thrown into years of harsh working and death.


Ok here's one more that i make up as i go along.

Pockets of light thrown into the cramped space,
And engine hums loudly in my ears,
I do not know where i am or who i am,
Memories flood back to me,
Sitting on the porch,
Master stroking my back in front of the fire,
Purring loudly,
So loudly,
Filling my ears,
Another memories come,
Eating strange food,
Not normal,
Feeling drousy,
A jolt stop the car,
I awake with a heavy heart,
Master takes my "cage" out the the car,
I look and see a sign,
V.E.T,
We walk into cool rooms,
People stare at me,
The woman at the table greets us and says somthing,
Something that i can't under stand,
Master carries me into a room with a man,
He takes me out and places me on the shiny table,
Master pats me and kisses the top of my head,
Why me?
The man takes out a big needle,
He slides it into my body,
I take my last breath,
Death takes hold of me,
All for the one small bird.



I wrote this explaining that animals a killed for a death of a mouse or a bird. People don't give them another chance.

Beautiful poem Nos1. Just had to say that as I was reading them. I might enter.

[Charlie1]

Ok, this poem is on animal abuse. This might be a little dramatic soo......

I huddle in the corner
crazed and confused
so frightened
so used.

My skin
strapping my rib cage
my big brown eyes
wandering with hope.

Next to me
lay
a mass of fur
breathless and motionless
another dog down
one about to go.

Drunken and Dizzy
my "owner"
straggles in
stick in his hand
Smirk on his face.

Cries pollute the air
then everything lays
silent
silent like my friend
and now silent
just like me.

You see
too late for us it was
and too late
it is for others
Why did we deserve this?
All we wanted to do
was love and please you.


But I guess the please
wasn't enough
now we just lay
like a pile of "stuff."

[nos1]

thanks charlie

My Fall

I run toward
My home,
Suddenly
I am sruggling
In a trap that
Has caught me,
I see that it is
My foot that is
Stuck,

I grow weak
And hungry
As hours,
Days go by,
Soon when
I think there
Is no hope that
I will die in this
Evil trap,

A human steps
Out of the shadows,
He cries out in joy
And points somthing
At me,

I know at
That instant
That I was
Going to fall,

I take a deep
Breath in and
Hold it until
Somthing
Makes me fall,

I soon feel it,
And I think,
I have fallen,
I have failed,
I should have
Never done this,


If I hadn't I would
Still be at home,
Safe and warm
With no worries
Or fears that I
Will fall...

This is about an animal that has been trapped and killed for fur. It's sad how cruel it is.

Love is a myth

A fairy tale

A good story

In real life

Hate is the currency

Traded back and Fourth

From You to me

Why should we care

I've got bigger nukes

To kill your weak, innocent, poor

Golden streets are the

Blood price we pay

For a chance to be an empire






For Jessie An Angel

She sits waiting patiently

For someone to love her

The bars all around

Keeping her here

The barking din

Numbing her mind

The people walk on

Rending her soul

Everytime the footsteps approach

Her heart soars high

But each time they pass her by

"Too old" cries one

"Rotties are mean" the next

"So big" a third

Something is always wrong

So here she waits

For the darkness to claim her

Because she's

"Unwanted"


Rescue Me

When you see me here

Trapped in this cage

Now don't you fear

I'm not mean or misbehaved

Just not perfect

Or strong or brave

It's because I'd rather spend my day

Loving and learning and wanting to play

Instead of working or biting or fighting

So i was dumped here to die

By those who "loved" me

Won't you please give me a try

I'll be good and loving

Faithful and true

I've got a big heart

To give up to you

If only you

Keep me from the darkness

That comes to claim me

So that another

Unfortunate soul

Can come and wait

And slowly die

Wanting for nothing

But your love





Punish The Deed, Not the Breed

I am loyal

I want to be your best friend

You are my love my life my everything

So I don't understand

Why you left me here

In this cold, loud, bright place

With nothing left to do to please you

I wouldn't have hurt the little one

I would have been her protecter and friend

But your mother saw me

And one of my breed

Nowhere near me

Hurt her once long ago

Why didn't you save me

Just because I'm a Pittie

Don't hate me

I won't hurt my family and friends

I will been loyal to the end

It is 6:05 p.m. and it is closing time! All of the entries that have been submitted have been wonderful but I have chosen first prize to go to LeopardStorm for her story Faithful. Thanks to everyone for taking the time and effort to enter your poem or story. They were all wonderful!

Fireflake:

Those were really good, I enjoyed reading them..
Especially the first one you submitted, touched home base although it could of been referring to a pet.

I wish you luck with getting these published, you'd go far. Keep up the good work, they have a lot of meaning.. that is always interpreted differently for each individual. Expressive and thoughtful.
