Matt's Poetic Portfolio

[Matt & Vulpix]

This is where I will post all of my Poetry. Note that this isn't only the rhyming kind, it's various types of poetry, such as Haikus, shape poems (if I can upload them) and acrostics, to name a few. I'm seeing Poetry in English right now, and I am poetry pumped right now. So, I will post it here in my Portforlio.


Best Poet

Divine Platinum – Matt & Vulpix (5)

Not too many people voted here, but those that did definitely knew who to vote for. In all, Matt’s awesome writing and poetic ability is definitely well recognized as being some of the best we’ve ever seen. Outstanding performance Matt!
Best Poet of the Year - 2004

I will start with some of my Haikus that I wrote today. Here are two:

Panda Bears

The black and white bears
Are going to be extinct soon
Save my Panda Bears

[u]Flower

A lone flower stands
Surrounded by the city
Withering away

You CAN post feedback here, if that is thy heart's wish..

[Satou]

I really liked reading your poems, Matt-kun. I like the Panda one and the flower one. It's scarey how the flower one drew a picture in my mind so fast o.0; Now tell whoever does the Scarlet Pimpernal to write short things like that... -_-;;

Anyways, the Panda one was good too. Except Pandas are more raccoon then bear :oops:

[Matt & Vulpix]

Here are five of my poems in my Poetry Portfolio for my school. It was 50% of my English grade, and I got 100%. :D I may post the Shape Poem later, but it requires scanning so I'm not sure. And I can't post the acrostic, as it is about my school. But I can post my haiku, my cinquain, my quatrain, my couplet and my limerick.


Lonely Flower (Haiku)

A lone flower stands
Surrounded by the city
Withering away

You and I (Couplet)

You and I, better than the perfect match
You and I, baked in the same cookie batch

The Murderous Bee (Limerick)

There once was a bee named Jive
Who hated to work at the hive
So he plotted to drown
The Queen and her crown
But she knew well how to dive

Three Terrible Thieves (Quatrain)

Three terrible thieves decided to rob banks
They walked up, stole the money, without thanks
But our three terrible thieves got thrown into prison:
They told the teller their names, he decided to listen

Autumn (Cinquain)

Autumn
Season of death
Nature begins to sleep
Favorite season of them all
Fall's fine

[art]

I like the panda-haiku and the autumn one. me likes pandas.. keep it up! I really like it!

[Matt & Vulpix]

Thanks art! I appreciate it ^_^ I'll write some more slowly over the summer.

Maria Sharapova
Note: This is based on my real life experience today.

Sharapova
Sharapova
I was going to see you
Sharapova
Sharapova
I was hoping I’d hug you

I waited all day
Just to see you hit the ball
Across that tennis court
I would have given it my all

But I didn’t
And I failed to see you
You weren’t there
That I swear
But I wanted to

Then came the afternoon and I gave up
I watched other matches and thought about you

Sharapova
Sharapova
I was hoping to see you
Sharapova
Sharapova
I gave up on my dream

Then I saw you
Deal the opening serve
Twas a new court
Twas a new place
That needed a sacrament

Your serve, it missed
But I was blessed
To see you there
You were so pretty
So gorgeous and witty

Sharapova
Sharapova
I was hoping to see you
Sharapova
Sharapova
I gave up yet I saw you

It was just one serve
One ball missed
But you cannot know
How much I was in bliss

The match, it went on
You weren’t one of the two
But you were in my mind
No matter the smashes
No matter the aces
You were on my mind

The day, it went on
The sun, it set
It was time to leave
The day was over
The bus was waiting

And the cart, it came out
There she was

Sharapova
Sharapova
There you were
Two footsteps away
Sharapova
Sharapova
Right there in front of me
I didn’t move
I was shocked stiff

My friend, she shouted
“Sharapova , that’s her!”
My mind was made up
I was going to scream

Sharapova
Sharapova
That’s what I should have said
But my mouth was closed shut
And my friend was tugging for us to run
After her, after her, that’s what we did

Through the street, we chased her cart
But our mouths were shut
Then she checked her watch
It was five o’clock
It was time to leave

“Gotta go, Matt!”
My friend said
We left the site
We left that place
I left my dream

I came back home and went to dreamland
Where the only word found was

Sharapova

[Pidgeot79]

I love haikus,so...so....uhm...mystical and undescribable.I don't know they just seem soothing.

[Matthew]

Now that you are back Matt, are we going to see some more poetry? :silly:

[Matt & Vulpix]

Shut ur face - no more cake for you, fat boy

That is totally inappropriate. I don't want this kind of language in my portfolio, =/.

As for your question, Matthew, perhaps :P

[Matt & Vulpix]

Yeah, I know...I'm sorry. =/ I know you're a nice guy - you didn't deserve that. It's good poetry, by the way.

Thank you.

[Matt & Vulpix]

A few Haikus off the top of my head (not so soothing, though):

Vision

To see the world's colors
The fascination of art
Marvelous gift: sight.

Hearing

To hear the world's joys
To Understand pain through words
The gift of hearing.

Taste

More than fashion sense
Stuffing your face full of food
Using the gift: taste.

Scent

Good or bad, sour, sweet
Skunk: run fast, Fart: much faster
Good yet sour gift: scent.

Touch

To feel the world's shape
Unique feelings to all things
Feel the world: touch it.


Yes, I am seeing this in biology. So what, sue me.

Touch

Unique feelings to all things
Feel the world: touch it.

I won Best Poet in the MOTY 2004. Thanks to all who voted for me =) Here's a poem to show my appreciation.

Thank you for voting for me
You really are too kind
If you'd look around, I'm sure you'd find
Better poets than me

But thanks anyways
It really means a lot
To know that I'm appreciated
At least a little bit

This poem, I'm sure it's horrid
I'm sure you're throwing up
It doesn't rhyme all that much
But it shows what I want to say

Thank you, that's all I got to say
