Now the poem can be about anything and it dosen’t have to rhyme or make sense. Good luck. I’ll go first.

Kiss the Sky

When an eye cuts through you
like hot fire
think not to hide
Curve your mind
so they can see the youness
Swing your words
the way you always do
Don’t ruin your soul
Bite back if challanged
but not too sharp
Hug every person as they pass
Don’t bruise feelings
if it can be avoided
Surprise the rain
by standing still
The clouds
they scream hatered
but you shall not be blue
Soft yet tough
your outer skin
You’re like a tree
that grows in a forest of sameness
Kiss the sky with all of you

 Message  That boy has always been there.
The boy who cried under the tree because his parents had beaten him again.
The boy who stood alone in the rain, when all others were warm inside.
The boy who lay on the flat rock in the forest, praying that God would take his life away.
The boy who’s eyes were wild as a dog.
But his face told the real story.
The boy who threw pebbles into the stream as he ran blindly across its banks in a rage.
The boy who floats like a cloud through the lives of most.
With only a simple wisp of air as he darts through their destinies
Unnoticed.
The boy whos face is grimy from mud.
The boy whos hands are caulused by hard labour.
That boy who has never known a kiss, never known a mothers loving face.

 Subject  Unnatural 
 Message  The tree that gored her,
An unnatural bruise lies with them all.
She the rain licks and makes them all moan
To see the eyes of mud gurgling forth to invade their roots.
A bite of surprise makes the trees waver and enclose themselves from the cut of red leather,
A hole of escape, so sharp and so hot that
Inside she is all blue,
And just a hide outside,
So soft and detestable to all of nature
Which she hugs to say how it cools the hollowness she feels.

 Subject  kiss 
 Message  <i>and then it happened
sooner than she’d expected
better than she’d hoped for
soft
hot
and as cool as the night</i>

kiss
on the bench under a tree
kiss
on red leather couches
kiss
under the influence of booze
kiss
to heal the cuts and bruises
kiss
on cab rides at three am
kiss
after a hug to say goodbye
kiss
and say nothing at all

 Message  Such a hot night.
Clouds stained the wide-eyed moon like bruises;
My throat’s sweat drizzled down my shirt;
Incandescent fingers rained down on gutters
That had lain thirsty since February.

City unwavering,
This defiant hive spits on a curse that,
To our grandfathers,
Was ruin.
A million mouths to bite this spiteful air,
A million hands to cut out a vein of the earth,
One blessed explorer to tap us an aquifer.

Smoke-dark rocks bow black overhead.
Storm-drain slots snatch my heel; I narrowly avoid a fall.
This city would not catch me if I had.

 Subject  I miss her deeply 
 Message  As I sit under the lone tree
I look down at the paper
And blood is all I see
Thinking if I never see her again will she remember(me)

Like the taste of her sweet kiss
And the hug of her desire
I sit longing for this ,
Pain I miss to fall unto the hot fire...

Like the fall of the rain
These tears fall so deeply
Missing her soft touch which kept me sane
And looking into her blue eyes just freed me

Like the death of a brokenhearted animal
When his soul mate is no longer with him
My heart cries for her to make me full
Once again and no longer so empty

Lost in words I could never say
Here I sit alone in ruin without your love
In the taste of sorrows’ deep bite, I lay
Within the shadows of hate as my rage rises above

Like this bruise on my heart which discolors the pain
I think of love and can’t help but hate
Like sharp cuts on a broken man
Under the tree I sit just wanting it to end...

 Message  little frog cold and lonely
sitting in the watery mud
each eye brightly dark like wet pebbles
gleaming in the moonlight
as the cloud wanders over the moon
all you leave behind as a reminder
of your presence is a sharp non-wavering
ribbit echoing in the dark
little frog remember this important thing
as night fades to day
don’t kiss the first dog that
comes along unless she’s dressed
in red leather.

 Message  Lonesome memories ring in my head.
As rain falls down upon me.
Like a rock,
Unmoving,
I stand still,
And watch the innocents,
Mere pebbles,
Drift away, overtaken by the storm.

An eye from above watching me
From within the clouds,
Threatening me.
The wind curves away from me
And the stars fall down to bite me.
In my heart I know,
I was warned,
But my heart has been cut.

The gray ruins the sky,
And in surprise I watch
As a soft, cool breeze passes through,
And the storm starts wavering.

With this sharp change
The tough setting passes
And a beautiful blue takes its place.
The wind here hugs me
And the hot sun seems to bend down to kiss me.
This change at last sets me free,
Though still left with a bruise,
I can move on.

 Message  Wavering on the importance of tough hugs
after saying sharp red leathered words which
ruined the soft blue cloud kiss
under the cool rain saving tree,
nothing more was said.
Her biting rock eyes cut
the hot mud from my mouth
turning words to stolid pebbles.
The usual bruising backlashes had no return,
instead a surprise swing curved coming down
upon my frowning dogged look,
knocking the frog out of my throat
and into her hands to disect.

 Subject  I like swimming 
 Message  The clouds looked bruised to my surprise.
Then a rain drop fell and kissed me on my eyes.
It was cool, then hot----by my raging emotions,
the sun was supposed to be there, nomore beach,
nomore sun tan lotion.
fog moving in, mud being made.
trees getting showered on, sparkling like jade.
A sharp wavering blue then cut through.
This was very important but could it br true?
"Can I go swimming now? " I wrote in the window
within the morning dew.
I knew the answer, sadly enough.
I made a bad desicion yesterday,
and was put into cuffs.

 Message  I remember I used to throw pebbles at frogs.
Should have used a spear.
And I climbed trees higher than you could.
One night I bit through all my chicken bones and sucked out the marrow.
My mother never kissed me, so she never smelled the wild mushrooms on my breath,
But she taught me how to mend my bruises--
Years after that, clouds ruined her crisp eyes,
But though I tried, I never hid my limp from her.
Surprise--
On my birthday I fell in the ravine
And learned how soft my ankle was--
The water is always cool,
But too long touching, it freezes.
You forgot your fear of mud.
You slid down unwavering as the bank grew teeth to bite your hands,
And I almost had to carry you out when you landed.
But you struggled up, trying to carry yourself if you couldn’t carry me,
Smearing blood on my arms until Pa came to Alf’s whining,
And we collapsed on the Chevy’s red leather.
