Subject: New Poems for a New Year

Posted by: MarchHare007
Date: Dec 31 07

Well, the pressies are opened, admired or dispatched
And Santa has settled for a long hard earned nap!
The reindeers are playing-up, out in the snow
The elves are all yawning and packed to go home!

All over the world there are tired happy faces
As well as some sad ones in some other places,
But Christmas has come, and has galloped away
A small pile of tinsel left in Santa's sleigh.

So if you enjoyed it then let it be clear
And welcome the season the same time next year.
If it wasn't so happy, and a duty to bear
You could find something special to help you with cheer.

For now as the snow falls up in far Northern lands
and the hot sun beats down in the more Southern stands
A new year's beginning - it's just 'round the bend
The Old Year retiring, a faithful old friend.

Say 'Goodbye' to the old year, and Welcome the New!
And celebrate all of the things you can do,
All the new friends I've met, over all this last year
And I'd like to wish everyone Happy New Year!

With the New Year upon us,
or just round the corner
I'd like to say thankyou
To the mods at Fun trivia!

To Terry 'Our Leader',
and his vast motley crew of volunteer helpers,
Who have helped us all through with Poems and Stories
(and Yes - Chatting too!)

I'm completely addicted to completing the quizzes
My 'life' has become a whole new existence,
With Challenges Hourly and Weekly and Daily,
Games on Team Chatboards and Forums as well
Knockout, LOS, and now the Most Brains….
No wonder my non e-life has gone down the drain!

So To Each Special Person who gives of their time
Whose own special knowledge is passed down the line
To you All that are keeping Fun Trivia Great
I wish you a Wonderful Two Thousand and Eight!

...Though you barely know this lonesome fellow
I still post this reply, On reason All need not know
March Hare, in FT, you are popular
I even heard on fellow quizzers dying just to see you "score", everytime...^_~

Nice poem you have here, Nicely wrote
You have a knack for this "sweet" stuff, you have your own boat
You should write more and post it here
Who knows, maybe someday, I'll see you on reel...

...HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND TO US ALL!...

...^_~

Well no one seems to want to play
This little thread's been here so long
It's almost ready to leave home
Why doesn't someone come along and add a little
POEM?

I wrote this incredibily long and perfect poem to post here, but then I minimized it and went to go get some coffee. I ended up taking a nap and when I woke up I completely forgot that Funtrivia was minimized and I shut down the computer :( I'm so mad.

How I wish I could contribute
To the amazing talent assembled here
For Shakespeare and Keats and Browning
Pale by comparison to "Gem" and "Hare".

I've racked my brain for ages and ages
To come up with a suitable rhyme
But wait a minute...I've got it!
Oh drat...I've run out of time.

Oh dmac..thats' so unlucky! Why don't you rewrite it?
You maybe won't manage all the same words but the idea still grows.


Bennieben - your verses make me laugh! :)


This was never meant to be just MY thread
for me and me alone.
I expected those who liked to write
To come and share their pome!

I'm happy that dmac and benniebenbennie
dropped in to leave a line.
Maybe there's others who just need a prod.....
I've been waiting a Jolly Long Time! lol

Well, hellooooo Bunny! I've just spied, your brand new poetry thread,
I've not looked in here, for quite some time, I thought it was quite dead.
We've had lots of fun in here before, writing our sweet prose,
I hope that this time it continues on, but then, you never know...

I'm sure the old gang will come soon and add some rhyming here,
Creative thought put down in words for all to read, I swear
That talent here in fun trivia, is amazing to perceive,
This site is something else, you know, it's one I'll never leave.

There's good friends made within our teams and on the Chat boards also,
The chance to play games and quizzes, write verse and stories, Bravo
To everyone that contributes here, it's great to see your flair,
So lets see some more of your genius and cheer up that March hare.

(LOL)

Well thank you kindly Elven Child
So nice of you to call!
It has been such a long time since
we've met and talked at all.

So pass the word amongst the Boards
there's somewhere new to play,
And have them prime their virtual pens
and write the night away!

It is getting quite vexatious
for me to see a blank,
Instead of lines of prose and rhyme;
It does give me the Cranks!

If only everyone would stop
and add a verse or three,
Then everyday would surely find
A Very Happy Me!

(LOL)




LOL

I've surfed FT forever
I've surfed FT a bit
I've found it boring never
I've read the prose and wit.

The few who post are clever
The many we await their lit.
There's talent undiscovered ever
There's so much left unwrit.

So without delay a lever
I encourage all...do it!
Make happy "Hare" endeavour
And say to Benny...please quit!

Why benniebenbennie why shouldn't you stay
and enlighten us all with the things that you say!
I find your accomplishments many and varied
enjoying your writings and lines of fair prose!

So you can not just leave if others should post,
for you are a writer of notably most of the lines that have started to grow on this thread,
And I would be sad if you packed up and left :(

"The Darkness" By Shane Walling



Darkness.
Is it safe to come out yet?
This place that hides my feelings.
Here I stand. All alone. Scared. Broken.
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worse.
I haven't seen the light in ages.
My thoughts and I trapped in silence.
Can someone rescue me? Please?
Show me that you care. Show me the way.
I'm lost. Walking alone, arms stretched out.
Hoping to find an exit. Nothing.
Darkness.
Can anyone hear my cries? Anyone at all?
I press on, but my strength weakens with every passing step.
The silence is deafening. Memories crowd my mind.
Pain fills my empty heart. I cannot continue.
Time to give up. This is the end.
My final serenade. I close my eyes.
Darkness.
My heart beats. The pain is gone.
I awake. My eyes need not to adjust.
For there you are. Whispering, "Take my hand."
A single match, struck on the wall.
Shadows dance on the ceiling.
We walk along the path. Hand in hand.
Light.



I wrote this a couple of weeks ago for a good friend of mine. She helped me get through the hardest thing I've ever dealt with in my life, my divorce. She's one of the sweetest people I've ever known. She's been a good friend since we met here at FT. I'm honored to have her as a friend.

Thank you AnneBonney, I love you.

A friend in need, a friend in deed,
This is precious thing.

For if only everyone
would have a hand to hold
The world would be a gentler place
in which we could grow old.

The special warming feeling that is sent
from those who care
can lift the veil that holds the pain
and help to live again.

For the all friends that I have found
in this special virtual world
my heart is always open -
my hand is there to hold.

Far beyond this world we know
There is a place where I often go

Where friends abound and arms reach out
To hold our hands when we’re filled with doubt

This place has wisdom, love and care
Where we all meet, from everywhere

No matter how our mood might be
This wondrous place sets us free

A family who does not judge at all
Whether we stand or whether we fall

This place does offer what no other can
A bond of friendships from every land

Together we help each other grow
Especially with the love we show

I’m thankful for this place, each night.
Our family here on The FunTrivia site!

If you hold your dreams inside you
And never set them free
The things you hope to do in life
Shall never come to be

Trust your aspirations
Treasure all the things you feel
Emotions pave the roads we walk
And teach us what is real

Forgive when hurts surround you
We can only control our own demise
Forgiveness breaks the chains of woe
And shapes the future of the wise

Share your dreams and feelings
Express what lessons you have found
For, through the hurts and sorrows
You create solid ground

Send bitterness and anger
A challenge they will lose
Your dreams of having happiness
Is a blessing that you choose

...Pause...

Why don't you pause and take a break
Well you should not break your neck
Working from morning 'til evening
Take a respite and dream a little

Cover your face and share a laugh
To yourself of course,... your face is covered...duh...
Release your hands and stand to spin
Off you go... There...like a wheel...

Manage to maintain your pose and stature
And refrain to vomit...prevent explosion
Now sit back again and relax
Drink some soda or some pop...

What's the point of all this weird stuff
It's about coming back and living it up!
You spend the day puffing and raising funds
So I made you silly so you can Smile...^_^...That is what this is all about...
