The Writing Challenge

I have a challenge for everyone. I want you to write something for every day of this year. It has to be original, and it doesn't have to be a novel, it can be a word if that is what suits you. Let the games begin, and may the words be with you!

    Tears and Reasons
    anger
    pain
    frustration
    Disappointment
    sorrow
    These create tears
    forgetting
    falling
    ignoring
    leaving
    dead
    these are reasons

    Anger
    fiery in your eyes
    fiery in your heart

    watching the rain that goes all day

    Trochaic-Car
    Fast and sleek
    slow and dirty
    these are the qualities of a car

    under tunnels and over briges
    you are going in a car

    Anapestic-football
    Have you seen football
    if not go down the hall
    take a left then right
    isn't that just a sight
    the stadium is fulled

    hear them when the bears score
    watch them run
    isn't football really fun

    I am going to get my way

    an I-pod a cell phone
    (Huh apperently didn't finish this one)

    Spondiac-Summer
    In the summer having fun
    running running in the sun
    jumping jumping in the pool
    trying to keep cool
    having fun all day long
    singing a funny song
    In the summer with long days
    going going on our ways
    searching searching for some shade
    with a blanket tattered and frayed
    In the summer having fun
    running running in the sun

    Concrete-Whirlpool
    (it is supposed to be shaped like a whirlpool)
    Whirl pool whirl pool going around and around
    whirl pool going down
    sucking taking every thing insight
    whirl pool going down

    Limerick
    There once was a girl named Dawn
    her hair was as brown as a fawn
    she ran all around
    jumping up and down
    now she's laying on the lawn
    There was once a boy named Bill
    who had a bucket to fill
    he look up and down
    and all over town
    and finally came to a hill

    Simile-Animal
    Lion standing brave and tall
    with mane like fiery flame
    with roar as loud as thunder
    and tooth as piercing as rain
    waiting for his game
    with claws unsheathed
    and teeth shown to all
    Lion standing brave and tall
    with mane like fiery flame
    pounces on his unsuspecting prey
    eating before the scavangers came
    running in the dusty wind
    never to be tamed
    forever to be free
    and never comes when called

    metaphor-love
    Love is my feelings for you
    if you're the sun I'm the sky
    if you're the moon I'm the stars
    forever
    Love is the sparkle in your eye

    Onomatopoeia-Shoes
    Clip clap
    goes a flip flop
    tip tap
    goes a tap shoe
    all the shoes make a different sound
    Stomp stomp
    thump thump
    goes the boots

    Alliteration- boys/girls
    Betty bakes brownies
    Benny bounces a ball
    both bake
    both bounce
    Betty believes Benny
    Benny lies to Betty
    Betty belongs behind bars
    Because Benny is gone

    Ballad- Knights, princess, etc
    Knight with shining armor
    galloping down the streets
    ready to face danger
    and any thing he meets
    Far away a princess lays
    waiting for her knight
    to take her to a castle
    hidden in the moonlight
    under starry skies
    the knight is galloping on
    following the hidden path
    to the tower found at dawn
    closer now a princess waits
    looking toward the sea
    hoping the knight in shining armor
    will find the missing key
    Shinning in the morning sun
    the tower apoun the hill
    the knight is approaching
    with the morning chill
    In the tower the princess sees
    the knight coming up the path
    without the missing key
    he must face the dragons wrath
    the knight in shinning armor
    is coming on his way
    ready to face teh dragon
    and slay it where it lays
    the princess watching over him
    know the dragon lies in wait
    is unable to do anything
    except to believe in fate
    the knight he sees the dragon
    laying in the afternoon sun
    readies his sword
    and soon the dragon is done
    the princess apoun seeing this
    let in the knight
    so he can take her away
    to the castle in the moon light
    (I don't have 13-18 yet I'll post them when I am done)

    Haiku
    In the starry night
    the wind whispers its secrets
    making all fearful
    in the pale moonlight
    the flowing water splashes
    the fish jumping high

    (and here is number 23 the worst of them all so far)

    WHAT DO YOU SEE
    look around
    what do you see
    I see magic every where
    in the trees
    in the grass
    in you
    and in me
    look around
    Do you see magic
    in the cars or the street
    No
    only in nature
    only in rocks
    only in dirt
    look around
    What should we do
    We should
    help the magic
    We should
    play with it
    have fun with it
    Then let it go
    Look around
    What now
    Now we have to go
    go back to the real world
    back to where the magic isn't noticed
    Isn't appreciated
    We go back to where
    we have to protect the magic
    in every possible way
    back to the real world
    look around
    What do you see
    I see no magic

    What should I do
    When I feel so blue
    When you know me
    Why stand there and watch me fall
    What should I do
    When I want to strangle you
    You hate me
    I hate me too
    you pretend don't care
    but I saw it today
    You love me
    I love you
    I want you to know that
    When I blue
    You never make me feel better
    when I'm blue
    you should know it's because of you
    you my brother should always be there for me
    and I should always be there for you
    When we are old
    we'll look back
    And see the good times
    and the bad
    I love you and you me
    even if I don't show it
    I love you
    My brother made me cry today so I wrote this to express what is in side (3 months ago)

    Killers
    What is it with
    people and killing
    What is it with
    murder and violence
    why do they
    do this
    why do they
    want to scare us
    I am not scared
    I am not afraid
    I am mad
    I am angry
    You decided to have
    a killing spree
    you ruined peoples'
    lives and killed their family
    you disrupted mine
    and many others
    you struck fear in some
    but others just laughed
    I did not laugh
    nor did I fear
    For it is not laughing matter
    when some one is killed.
    For there is nothing to fear
    you would be stupid to come here
    running just running
    that is what you do
    you run and you kill
    you ruin peoples lives
    yet you expect to live a happy life
    with no worry or regertts
    well you were wrong
    now you are caught
    Now there is no fear
    now there is laughter but not because of rumers
    You are caught
    but the lives you took will not be forgotten
    the lives of people
    who had families and friends
    Now my life and that of others
    is back to normal
    but what about those families who lost some one
    I greive for those
    I knew them not
    but I grieve while their town grieves
    I grieve when no one here will
    I have felt lose so I know the pain
    yes I will grieve
    for those three that were lost
    and i will hope the wounded will
    live
    I wrote this because there was a killer lose near my town no one was killed here but it affected the entire northern Indiana. Three people were killed and yet I am mad because I could not fly my parachute. I have felt lose and know how those people feel. So will my classmates will go back to the way things were before I will know there are families that will never feel normal again. To any one that lives in Lowell IN. this is for you

    K here is one of my best friends poems It isn't one of here best but it is o.k
    STAIRCASES
    She walks down the staircase
    looking for the one thing she knows is out of place
    she slows her pace
    and there she sees him, her one thing that is out of place
    his place is with her up the staircase
    not sitting there looking out into space
    she stops at the last stair
    waiting to see if he'll turn
    and see her standing there on that last stair.
    He looks up from his daydream
    and snaps back into reality
    out of the corner of his eye he sees
    her standing there
    he smiles
    and turns his head and smiles for he knows he is in trouble
    they've been married
    a little more than a year now
    but he can already read her mind
    it is time for bed she says
    he just looks at her and smiles,
    then gets up out of his chair
    She moves up a stair.
    He takes a step
    up another stair.
    Step. stair. step stair...
    their dacne countues till he's at the bottom of the stair case
    They each share a smile.
    She turns to run but before she turns he's there on the stair she is about to take.
    she looks up at him
    a mistake she shouldn't have made
    his red eyes glisen
    she tries to scearm but to no prevail
    for he has her traped in a world of darkness
    it's to late..
    and on that stair her shall stay
    Forever on that staircase.
    Sorry forgot that this is about vampires she is the goth/emo type chick but is to hyper to pull it off. And she is a big vampire fanatic. When i first read it I thought it was a love poem. well aperently not


    A new day

    a new day
    awaits many things
    new loves
    and loses
    A new day
    holds mysteries
    A new day
    is for changes
    and for choices
    and for decisions
    A new day
    will bring
    happiness or....
    sadness
    It may bring
    loneliness and sorrow
    It may bring
    Love and Happiness
    A new day
    has come
    and will bring the gift
    of new oppertunites

    I usually write depressing poems so I thought I would try to write a happier poem. I think I pretty much failed. O well I hope u enjoyed it. :)



    This is another poem by by friend
    The Reunion Heart
    Since heaven has become your home,
    I sometimes feel so alone;
    and now though we now are far apart
    you hold a big piece of my heart.
    I never knew how much I'd grieve
    when it was time for you to leave
    ot just how much my heart would ache
    from that one fragment you would take.
    God lets this tender hole remain
    reminding me we'll meet again
    and one day all the pain will cease
    when He restores this missing piece.
    He'll turn to joy
    my every tear
    and it will become my simple way
    to treasure our Reunion Day
    Her Boyfriend died in a car crash and she loved him For the last five years she has never forgot him. She dedicated this poem to him

    Remember
    When life gets tough
    Remember
    When you feel down
    Remember
    When Your afraid
    always Remember
    This
    You are always loved
    by some one
    there are always those type of days
    that make you wanna go away
    But always remember
    those happier days

    DESTINY

    When you lose your path
    When you can't find your way
    Look at your mistakes
    WHen you find
    that you need some help
    Follow the path
    to me
    you'll find your destiny
    When your lost
    you can always find your way
    you'll be able to see
    if you look the way you came
    but don't look
    to often
    for you'll regrett
    ever turn you took
    This is not the answer
    this is not the way
    you must find your path
    a different way
    take the path in front of you
    and do not stray
    If you follow these words
    you find that you have
    come to me
    I am your
    desnity
    I wrote this as a song. hope it is good with out the tune i sung to it
    --------------------------------------------------------
    I AM 13

    Think just think
    What this feels like to me
    You never cared
    And never will
    You say you love me
    Then what
    You never visit
    Never call
    Go to jail
    And never told me
    I am 13
    I should be told
    When my own father
    Doesn’t care to call
    You say you miss me
    Then come see me
    You have to ask
    What my favorite color is
    You have to ask
    What foods I hate
    You have to ask
    When my birthday is
    I am 13
    I should be told
    When my own father
    Doesn’t now me
    Do I care
    Not any more
    Did I care
    Very much
    Then you broke my heart
    That day
    The day when I was already sad
    You left with out saying hello
    You left with me crying into my mother’s arms
    You left that day when grandma died
    You left that day
    Then I knew you loved her more than you loved me
    You raced back to her without even a hello
    I am 13
    I should be told
    When my own father
    Loves my step-mom more than me.
    this is my favorite of all of the poems I have written. It is what got me started.

    WE LIVE
    We live
    We die
    But how do we live
    But how do we die
    We live in the past
    We die in the future
    When you live
    Do you make the best of your day
    Or do you mope
    Like there is no care in the world
    We live in the past
    We die in the future
    When you die
    Will you think you had a good life
    Or will you regret
    Regret the way that you lived
    We live in the past
    We die in the future
    You should live not on the past
    But in the present
    You should die but not until
    You have lived a full life
    When you are depressed
    Think how you will feel about this time in later life
    Will you like it
    Will you hate it
    It was your choice
    We live in the past
    We die in the future

    I'M SINKING
    I’m sinking
    Going to a bottom less pit
    There is no one to help me
    No one to save me
    I am sinking
    There is no light at the bottom
    I see people around me
    But no one is there to save me
    I am sinking
    Going to a bottom less pit
    You saw me there
    But you didn’t help
    I am sinking
    And still you do not help
    You stand there
    Watching
    I am sinking
    But do you come rescue me
    Do you come and comfort me
    No
    You stand there watching me
    I am sinking
    I have reached the bottom
    Now you try to save me
    But It is to late
    I am gone
    I have found someone else
    To help me
    To save me
    and now he helps me
    while you have lost me

    WHEN YOUR LOST

    When you are lost
    when your alone
    you aren't
    When your sad
    and think no one cares
    your wrong
    because some where
    some body cares
    some where
    there are people to love
    When you feel lost
    Don't look back
    When your sad
    try figure something out
    If you need help than ask
    You are never alone
    you are only as alone
    as you feel

    DAY 1
    WITHIN

    within your heart
    there lies a mystery

    within your heart
    lies your soul

    within your heart
    it tells a story

    for within your heart
    lies your love

    Day 2
    Flying

    In the sky with bright blue expanses above
    Flowing green plains lying below

    You fly above it all
    Watching the ground soar past

    The weight of the world free for the moment
    Until it it comes crashing down

    You fall and fall close to the ground
    But do not crash

    For you gained your wings
    You keep riding the wind

    Flying through the winds of life
    You never quite touch the ground

    best friends
    thats what every one saw
    doing every thing together
    best friends

    i had to go
    leaving was hard
    but it was for my own good
    i had to go

    trying to talk
    i would spend hours waiting
    to see if you got my message
    trying to talk

    dissappointed
    you answered once
    then i heard no more
    disappointed

    trying to understand
    why didnt you talk
    why did you stop caring
    trying to understand

    no longer friends
    i was upset as can be
    that my best friend was
    no longer my friend.

    ~ To my ex-best friend should you ever read this :'(
