[spoiler]I am just beginning to get into poetry. This one is from my personal life. [/spoiler]
[quote][b]The best time of our lives [/b]
Unforgetful
That’s what they remind me of
The gentle knowing iris of the owl
A sort of calm chestnut, with hints of
Mint and rain.
Alight with a playful flame
Like the bonfire at the summer camp
I hated when I was nine
What I would give to be back there.
No one ever stopped to say
Hey, this might be
The best time of our lives!
Maybe we should try that now.
But would that be a lie?
A brave colorful barrier
Blotting out the poignant sorrows of adolescence?
They’re entrancing.
A sort of ancient spell lies on them
Passed on through a meaningful glance in a classroom
Or a wink from the piano when the seconds sound like garbage.
You and I probably aren’t
Meant to be forever.
Is anyone, really? I have yet to meet a two who all their troubles tamed.
But who knows? This could be
The best time of our lives.[/quote]

This is actually really good. Usually the poetry on offtopic is -c level, but this hit me hard. Keep it up, I love this post

This is really good, especially for just getting into poetry. I’ve been doing it for a couple years now and it’s a really great way to vent emotion
