yeah I think this is a great idea! Edgar Allan Poe is really good. Here's a bit of my work,I am not finished yet,I might add some more here and there:


It was a night of rain and clouded skies. A night when mists hung low in corners where willows huddled in hushed conversation, their heads bowing close and low. Water dripped from leaves, from gutters, slithered down window screens to come together in puddles where worms would rest. Everything was silent, and I was missing you.

I looked down, only to notice the reflection of your face staring back at me. I could feel a tear running down my cheek, and I wiped it away with the back of my hand. I lifted my head, and walked on.

Every puddle I splashed through spoke softly of the next time we'll meet. Every rustle of leaves that brought a shower down upon my head whispered the echo of your laugh. Your voice was running down the sidewalk, begging me to follow its winding path in the darkness. And I searched for you.

I was looking hurriedly, trying to find you fast, because the darkness was getting thicker, but somehow my shadow still followed me. Scared now, every so often I would feel like giving up and to just go home. "What home?" I asked myself.” you’re the reason I got out of bed in the morning, the reason I would EVER go home".

Beneath the floppy branches, heavy with water, I looked. I followed footprints left in the muddy ground hoping that they were yours. All night I hunted for you under the starless sky, the rain never stopping, always falling, falling.

I could feel it landing on my bare skin, wishing I were a jacket. But that was less important than me finding you.

The morning found me lost under the soggy willow tree, seeking out your hand to lead me home. As I brushed past the limp leaves into the first rays of sunlight, I realized with a smile that you never really left me at all. The night had been gloomy with rain clouds and doubt, but now morning was here, and our friendship was still in the breeze

May I join?

I write a lot of poems (most in German, but also a few in English (or Quenya *lol*)) and love it to read them. My favourite poems are those of Tolkien...
Still round a corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate
And though I oft have passed them by
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun

*sigh* Woooonderful...

May I please join?
I love poetry and also love to write myself (mostly in German).
Here´s one of my English poems:


The day will come

For Frodo and Sam


Don´t go
where I can´t follow
you cried
And yet you know
this time you have
to let me go
But I promise you, dear Sam
This goodbye is not forever
All souls pass and
This world shall fade
The day will come
when you shall hand
the book to your heir
The day will come
when you too shall sail
across the sea
following the call
I will be waiting for you
on the white shore
of Valinor
Tha day will come
when we will meet again


Yeah I know, it´s not very good, but I was sooo proud of it because it was my first one in English :-D...
