You have until Saturday afternoon to post a poem on here before the Topic changes. Please post it directly onto this topic, rather than posting a link. You're welcome to discuss poems on here also.
This week's Topic is Beauty. If anyone has any objections to this topic, please go to the Poetry Topic Objections post.
Poems can be as long and short as you want them to be. This is not a contest, it's just for fun and to show off our own poetry.
Hmm, my dear hairdresser, what shall I do? My hair is long and gold, With dark streaks in it too. Chop it off! I say. Take a razor,buzz it all, Beauty is overrated, and is our downfall!
Her eyes were big and brown, Her hair was black and tangled, Her clothes were out of date, And her glasses thick and round. She stared across the room at the girls with golden hair. The skinny ones, the "pretty" ones, she saw perfect everywhere. But when she stared at her reflection All she saw were imperfections And I wonder... Why?
Beauty of COFFEE!! (wow, poems are coming outta my ears now! XD This one I actually used in my Cuppa Joe group)

Coffee, O beauteous, wonderful thing! Fit for a peasant, fit for a king!
Chocolate, treats, pizza and tea, None of these compare to thee!
For your brew, people will wait, Risking being half past late.
Around the corner, lines do wind, Leading up to your shops of every kind.
Take our Espresso, Cappuccino, or black, We’ll fight to the death to get it back!
Add some sugar, and add some milk, Drink it down, feels just like silk!
Ooh and aah, the pleasurable sigh, Everyone’s addicted, do not deny.
If you give us coffee, you’re a sun ray, Take it away, and we’ll make you pay.
But SAD is the day when coffee’s like water, Made so weak the balance does totter.
Only three spoonfuls for twelve cups full?! A pathetic taste, it’s bad for the soul!
I won’t point fingers at this unsuccess, Cough cough, it was the Neumann Press!
But strong and lovely, I can’t get enough, To put down my cup is oh so tough!
But stop I will, of all this praise. Will I ever get over the Coffee Phase?!

Note to everyone who doesn't know: The Neummann press is my Grandmpa's book making shop. I work there, and I love the fact that I make one of my favorite things in the world, but they make their coffee PATHETICALLY weak... it's quite sad really....
Every morning, I am awestruck by the palette of colors from the rising of the sun. They are brilliant and bold, yet soft and gentle at the same time. There are reds,oranges,blues, yellows, pinks, and purples sweeping across the sky.
The mountain peaks are of a purplish color. The mountains stand there majestically daring anything, except astral objects in the sky, to be higher than them. The peaks stand with a snowy layer that lasts most of the year.
As we head grocery shopping, the car gets closer and nearer to the mountains. The ride is a crap shoot whether you will come back alive. It whirls and twirls like girls throwing a baton. The thoroughfare also undulated like a roller coaster. Some guy is passing us on the path at a much too dangerous speed.
As we go further and further up the mountain, we see a beautiful green covering of trees. Pine trees abound, with their sharp, little green needles in a swirling pattern around the trees. There are also the pine cones with tan layers upon dark brown undercoats in a somewhat triangular shape. The aroma will make your sense of smell purr. These trees go higher and higher up the mountain, but they are not near the peaks.
As we head back to the house, there is the sun going down. Once again there are a multitude of spectacular colors. There were blues, purples, grays, pinks, oranges, and reds. They form a swirling motion much like stirring the dough for cookies.
We returned home safe and sound. I did what I have been trying to do all day: respire. It is hard to inhale from higher elevation, and as much as I try, I never find a good breath of air. I loved seeing my sister. It was really a blast, but I'd rather breathe than stay.
Falling gently to the ground are the tears Tears of pain Tears of hurt Tears of death Sing so sweetly my beauty girl Oh so strong Oh so calm Oh so precious Gently you are so perfect Head held high Grace so great Love so warm Stand tall my angel you are you. Forever love my beauty you.
