There is a star I cannot reach
There-
High up in the sky.
As the lonesome traveler I can preach,
But my soul’s to weak to try.
Each step I take is not enough
It flies only further away.
I’m no...

There once was a clever young kitten
Who read anything that was written.
But she said "Deary Me!
"This simply can't be!
"There's more then my mind can fit in!"
----------------------------------------
Dreams are born on dragon's wings;
The wind on lover's sighs;
And a host of splendid things
Because the hero tries.
--------------------------------------
Oh, I whish I had a Pizza!
What a glorious dream that'd be,
'Cuz if I had a pizza
It'd be all for me.

Blue is the Raven,
Black is the Sky,
No soul is left cravin'
No man shall ever die
---------------------------------------
Society's like a house of cards
Where criminals leave their brand,
But if you remove the bottom
Where are the rest left to stand?
---------------------------------------
If wings were made of silver,
If hearts were made of gold,
How could their souls hope to bare
Such a heavy load ?
----------------------------------------
Blue is the Raven
Black is the Sky
No soul is left cravin’
No man shall ever die

If wings were made of silver
If hears were made of gold
How could their souls hope to bear
Such a heavy load?

Gray, gray, gray, gray
Today’s a very boring day
Too late for snow
Too early for May
Skies were blue, but now they’re gray
-----------------------------------------
Ah-kree-lee, Ah-kree-lee
What’s the price of your soul?
A ticket to heaven or the devil’s pay toll?
Maybe we humans have no place on this Earth
But to supper with worms
And sleep in the dirt.
-----------------------------------------
I wanna be a kitsune,
But I don’t have the ears;
I wanna be a warrior
And face my darkest fears;
Any life worth living
Is worth living it in style;
To give yourself and inch
You’ll take yourself a mile.

A book of poems
Is easily bought.
Writing poems
Is easy not!
Especially when
Your writing is blocked,
And inspiration
hasn’t knocked
In a very, very long time.

Some people are like the wind…
The time we meet them is as brief as a summer’s breeze;
But they whisper words of comfort in out ears.
Then as sudden as they appeared ,
They are gone.
And we are left with the sweet nothings they promised us
To tuck away in our hearts
--------------------------------------------
Some people are like the Sun…
They light with world with the light of their wisdom-
Without such brilliance the earth would seem dark and unwanted.
But without the earth to shine on
Their light is obsolete
And they would have no purpose in life.
--------------------------------------------------------
Some people are like the Rain…
They are sometimes soft and gentle
Or they can wield the wrath of a summer storm.
They are realists
who bring us back down to earth and cool our heads.
But that peace can become gloom
And after a while we long
For the limitlessness of the blue sky
------------------------------------------------------
Some people are like the Earth…
Steady as a rock,
We know we can always lean on them
They are stubborn too-
And as easy to sway as moving a mountain
But at times they can wield with
Enthusiasm as powerful as a landslide.
And we end up both at their mercy and in their care.
---------------------------------------------
Please Gentlemen, oh gentlemen-
Be prudent with your word.
A lady’s heart isn’t fragile-
But like the hawk on the wing and
Yet still like a song bird.
-----------------------------------------------
Do not weep, Do not despair,
There’s nothing time can’t repair-
Or destroy
-Or so it seems-
Of life’s many wondrous things.
------------------------------------------------
Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I,
Without a form or face?
In the mirror’s a reflection that
My mind can’t seem to trace.
Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I,
If life’s a candle’s flame?
When all my dreams have turned to ash
Who is there left to blame?
Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I,
Can no one tell me so?
If love’s gaze does not turn my way
I fear I’ll never know.
Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I,
The one they see me as?
Shaped by the blueprints in my blood
That everybody has?
Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I,
A phantom trapped in time?
The days well spent upon this earth
Will some of them be mine?
Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I,
Just memories that passed?
My drunken visions glossed by time
Who knew they wouldn’t last?
Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I,
Is there for me a place?
Before I’m captured by death’s hold
I must prepare my case.
As the Title says, these poems are Titled and slightly more...formal? perhaps of my twittles.

These beauties are only one stanza long alternating 8/6/8/6 syllables with an ABCB rhyme scheme. I stumbled on this style accidentally when writing the first poem "Kitsune-san, Kitsune-san" Perhaps I just read to much manga?
Red Panda girl, Red Panda girl,
Your Face is brightly flushed.
Who is it you think of under
The flaming locks you brushed?
Oh, Panda boy, Oh Panda boy,
Tread lightly in the snow.
Down the path your ancestors took
You too must surely go.
Cherry Blossoms, Cherry Blossoms,
Were once as white as snow,
Until a corpse's tainted blood
Had turned their color so.
Oh butterfly, Oh butterfly,
Dwell not on the past,
Or the dreams you dreamed of back then
Will truly be you last.
Oh fox, Oh fox, Oh Clever fox,
You dance within a flame.
But no matter how they twist your words
You'll never hold the blame.
Dandelion, Dandelion,
I’ve a wish locked in my chest.
Oh, seeds that scattered to the wind
Do now what you see is best.
Anemone, Anemone,
Both on land and in the sea.
Too long I’ve waited as time slipped pass.
How forsaken must I be?
Lovely Aster, Lovely Aster,
Your name is like a star.
But before I knew of my mistake
I’d fallen just as far.
Azalea, Azalea,
Take care of him for me?
There’s not a promise he can make
That I can’t disagree.
Acacia, Acacia,
There’s a secret you must tell.
It is the one I cannot speak
As you should know quite well.
Cyclamen, Cyclamen,
I’ve resolved to my fate.
It seems “good-bye” is set in stone
All that’s left it the date.
Daffodil, Daffodil,
The sun will shine again.
Do not hang your head so low when
It’s filled with thought of him.
Daisy girl, Lazy girl,
That is just who I am.
Hollowed wit and wasted words
But less then half is pointless spam.
