ayoubIf you get sick and tired of these challenges, tell me :)
#one
Write a NOT poem in which you describe something and then give a lot of examples of what it is not.
#two
Write a List Poem...
A list poem is a poem that is organized around a central idea: things of the same a colour, about which you have the same feeling, or things that go under the same label.
#three
Rewrite your current favourite song, and if you borrow lines from it, then put them in italics
Do any one or all... I'll do them when I get home :D

ok for challenge #one i cheated
Date: 2005-11-09 04:11 pm (UTC)I'm not
I'm not sadistic, or masochistic
I'm not flippant, I'm not gay
though I may have a tendency
to be lazy, not watching what I say.
I'm not overly fantastic
not too picky, not demanding
though I may special order
just about anything and everything.
I'm quite a shop-a-holic
quite a spender, a pretender
many pairs of shoes to wear
with my red suspenders.
I might be a christian,
but I know I'm not a jew
I don't fit in with wiccans
who draw in monthly moonjuice.
I can read your fortune
in a cookie, or a tarot deck
but I can't read your palm,
just one more skill i lack.
I'm not hyper, I'm not shy
yet I'm quite reserved
taking things for granted
that I don't even deserve.
Lacking motivation,
an education
I'm viciously unambitious
but deliciously nutritious.

Date: 2005-11-09 04:13 pm (UTC)ok... a quick example
Date: 2005-11-09 04:32 pm (UTC)Hue of blood
Colour of danger
Yet it draws me in
Darkest apple
Heart's light
Strawberry lips
Leave me breathless

Date: 2005-11-09 11:08 pm (UTC)sanity is not mine,
it is not my lover,
infact, when i walk by,
sanity runs for cover.
#2 (roses)
Red for our passion.
Pink for our grace.
Withered white for virtue never to waste.
Dark crimson in mourning.
Lavender for love at first sight.
Yellow for jealousy cutting through my heart like a knife.
A single leaf for hope.
Coral for desire.
A young rosebud for love’s youthful fire.
A bouquet of blooms for thankfulness.
Burgundy for inner beauty.
Orange in fascination absorbing me completely.
Roses to say I love you,
Roses to say I care.
Roses that you send because you’re never there.
#3 (Hellogoodbye, Shimmy Shimmy Quarter Turn)
The wilted flowers that I gave
Were not as nice as your bouqet
All the lyrics that I wrote
Not as smart as the words you spoke
The starlight above my hometown
Aint as bright as the star ive found
Every drawing that I drew
Was never ever as cute as you
Serious as a heart attack
I'm looking in my almanac
Ive gotta find out all the things
And find out where she got her wings
Shimmy shimmy quarter turn
I feel like I will never learn
How can I check lost and found
When I'm too busy getting down
Gotta get it back to
A back up plan to find you
Start acceleration
Take it back to square one
I swear that I'm not kidding
We're just looking to fit in
With all the other answers
Questions never confirmed
States that keep us far apart
Track the beating of my heart
Mark the places in my book
With photographs we never took
I swear that I'm not kidding
The night time is so pretty
With all the stars above your eyes
I'm sneaking out and making ties
States that keep us far apart
Track the beating with a chart
Mark the rythyms that I shook
Everytime I caught you look

song: safest place to hide, backstreet boys. I did number 3 first.
Date: 2005-11-09 11:23 pm (UTC)When this whole world gets too crazy, yeah
And there’s nowhere left to run (nowhere left to run)
I know you give me sanctuary
You’re the only truth I know, you’re the road back home
Can you see me? Here I am
Standing here, where I’ve always been (I've always been)
And when words are not enough
I climb inside your heart and still find (you're my)
You’re my safest place to hide
My safest place to hide (hide)
I know I promised you forever
There’s no stronger word I can use
To reassure you when the storm is raging outside
You’re my safest place to hide
my version:
This world is too noisy
And all I seem to do is run
No place to hide
Except beside you
You give me sanctuary
You are my real truth, my road back home.
Can you see me?
I’m standing here as I always have
When I can’t feel the words
I touch your heart and stay
I still know
You are my safe place to hide.
My safe place to hide (hide)
We talked of tomorrow
Promises of forever
No other way to show you
To make you believe
When the storms are raging
You are my safe place to hide.
My safe place to hide.
~ I didn't change it overly much. Not much of a song writer, I'm afraid.

Date: 2005-11-09 11:26 pm (UTC)It's a surprisingly deep set of lyrics...

Date: 2005-11-09 11:38 pm (UTC)I am not what you would like me to be
I am not picture perfect
I am not good with speaking
my own truth to your deaf ears
I am not calm
when storms rage outside and within
I am not smooth waters on still lake,
waiting
I am not politically correct behind faded eyes
I am not trophy you place on dusty shelf
I am not a heart taken for granted
I am not punching bag
when your insecurities get out of control
I am not designer label walking in pretty shoes
I am not mindless vessel waiting to be filled
I am not dead waiting for you to revive me
I am not
Everything you expect me to be.

Date: 2005-11-09 11:53 pm (UTC)Lost in your dark eyes
Polished onyx I swear I fall
Helpless, eager, embracing oblivion
the void swallows me whole
My mourning shroud lifted
on the spectres of my past
My funeral pyre smokes no more
The night embraces me-
Lover, co-conspirator
Black cat on a hot tin roof
on sleek satin paws
I crawl
My way
into your midnight passion
And we fuse
Two new universes merging
without the help of the stars.
