I wrote my first when I was like 13 - I have it put away somewhere so I dunno if I'll be able to find it. I'll post up if/when I do find it. Share your first poem or another early poem with us!!

Ok. I guess I'll go first. This isn't my first one (have yet to dig it up out of who knows where), but it's one I wrote abt 6yrs ago (when I was 20).


Confused But Yet Confined


You are in my mind,

Confused but yet confined.



Thoughts cannot hide,

From the pain that lives inside.

Always wondering why,

You rarely ever tried,

To love me unchanged.

There are times with you,

I now and will always miss,

But still content to be relieved from,

The constant that is you.



You are in my mind,

Confused but yet confined.

Well it's not just for poetry writers - it's for readers too! Anything on the subject of poetry (ideas, comments, opinions, recommendations, etc.) are welcomed!!! I'm glad you're a part of the group, and I enjoy your writing BTW! I'm sure you've got some valuable insight.

My first 'published' poem (in the elementary school newspaper) was when I was in 3rd grade...


The only 2 lines I remember were:


I write about the morning sun,


In the morning when night is done.


:) I do believe that I couldn't do much better more than 3 decades later!!!!

FINAL


In the darkness of my mind


a candle sits alone.


Searching, searching, cannot find


that final stepping stone.


To be determined by a glance,


with nothing more than fate.


Pointlessly given one last chance


when death's entreaties wait.


Blind and deaf to all.


This is one of my first ones. My mom has the rest at her house. She keeps publishing them, though I wish she wouldn't because I don't think they're anywhere near good enough.

Alyssa, that's really good! I can't blame your mom for publishing your work. I bet you have more great poetry like this. It's not just cause she's your mom that she publishes your work...it's because she sees a REAL talent there! Keep writing!

I've been writing poetry for years and years.  I've actually written and copyrighted several books of poems, but have never published.  I did let people read them, and they did like them.  I really should get back into it, and this may be a great place to start!

This one is recent. Would appreciate feedback.  Have a great week and thanks.



A VISION FOR EACH OF YOU

by: Laura A Warner

If I could wish one wish for you,

It would be a big one from my heart,



A vision so strong and safe and right,

Of how much I believe in each of you,



Learn from your mistakes and challenges,

Be kind and help each other.



Always do what you feel is right in your heart,

Using common sense.



And you will see that the vision,

that I have for each of you,

Will be one of pure and true happiness.



Filled with love and good wishes,

From me to each of you.

I don't remember my first poem but oddly enough I remember the first one I sent someone. I don't know who published it but when I hear it, it reminds me of childhood and how innocent we are when it comes to love at a young age. I probably sent it in 6th or 7th grade to my first crush...


Always together, never apart


Wishing always in our hearts,


That your love and mine,


Will withstand the test of time 


It's not who you are that holds you back. It's who you think you're not. - Unknown

The first poem that I have written was about a year ago.  I nervously posted it in the news and columns to see if there would be feedback.  It is called Fly, Fly Away.  I have written over 80 poems at this point and they are very free style.  They are the writings of a buried person who is struggling to deal with the awakening of her life.  Sounds very heavy but it is just the inner speaking of my heart.   Candy

The first poem that I ever wrote was about two years ago. Just about everyone in my immediate family had a talent for writing, and I always thought that I just didn't have that creative part in me. But then, I went through a very trying time in my life, and one day when I was full of anger and despair, my first poem, "If I Could Take the Pain Away", just came flowing out. After that first one, everything else just came tumbling out, and I have since written over 20 poems. I haven't had much time to write recently, but I try to take note when inspiration hits. One day when I get more time I would like to publish my works...

I don't remember my first poem. One short story that always makes me smile is one I wrote in middle school. That was the day, I know I could paint with words.

I starting writing when I was very young - I wrote poetry to express myself -- wonderful outlet -- painting pictures with words.  I lost quite a bit of my early stuff but here's one I can share:


Trust


I surrender to the day


all my hopes and dreams of love. 


All my fears. 


I stand alone with my heart in hand


and proclaim my trust


in you -- in me -- in Life. 


I embrace the moment


and actively seek comfort 


from my faith and my willingness


to Be.

The seasons of my life; come and go without a trace


It seems like everywhere I go; It feels just like a race


I want to take some time


Alone, to just unwind


To feel the breeze the wind and the rain


To feel the love, the joy and the pain


I want to remember the many little things


That being in this world eventually brings


The laughter and tears


All my hopes and fears


Are drowned in the race


I come and go without a trace.


 


I just wrote this, I couldnt find my book. I know this was supposed to be my first poem, but I cant find it and I love poetry..hope ya'll dont mind

oh my gosh it was in the  fifth grade when the teacher went over all the different type of poems and made us make a book of poems one of each kind.  The only one I can remember was Fall


Leaves falling to the ground


turning orange and crispy


Apples falling all around


turning brown and squishy!

I can't find it... my first poem, I wrote in a college creative writing class.


The basic premise was artistic proof that God is a woman... Where did i put it?

This was one of the first poems I wrote back in 2002.


 


The Castle


By Leslie S Moyer 2002


The darkened castle stands on high


While time quickly passes it by


The ocean wind blows strong over its other walls


While lost souls roam its lonely halls


A solitary bird sings it's lonesome song


But no one hears
