The Turtles knocked the world out of her shell
with "She'd Rather Be With Me".
The band brought the album to her in a fancy, convertible
with their fresh looking hairdo's and tuxedos to match.
And she ran up to it, took off the cover, and hopped in with them for a ride.
When she got back she arrived with a bouquet of flowers in her arms and a smile in her mouth
as she sang along to "So Happy Together"
and headed to the nearest pay phone with a dime
in the hand that was eager to dial her lover's number
just to call and make sure he belonged to her to ease her mind.
So the sky would always be blue and the world would be fine, so very fine
and no matter which way the dice was tossed
it'd end up being her and him or him and her together,
not minding the weather, just so happy together.
Poem "So Happy Together"(i LOVE that song!!)?
♪Ｉｍａｇｉｎｅ me and you, Ｉ do. Ｉ think about you day and night,,.
♪Ｉ can't see me nobody but you for all my life.
Ｔｈｏｕｇｈ this song is very old, but Ｉ can't forget.
Ｉｔ reminds me of my good old lover.
Reply:the decorum is good . it is funny how music and romance can bring about the notion to write a poem....

girl in hiding
moving statue
an almost beautifully choreographed dance
stumbling around and around
she wobbles in her five inch stilettos
her knees collide with hard granite
and laying in pain, undeserving
pretty dress artfully arranged
on the cold marble floor
she preens into a tiny mirror
still beautiful
girls find your place
father looms, his nearness causes subtle hairs
to stand
save face
kiss his lips and dance\beautiful girls
blanket your pain with sweet smelling flowers
empty eyes, window for an empty head
mirrors show these child like reflections
childhood obsessions
grown out of filth, smothered with rot
she blooms into a beautiful shell
with nothing inside her

I like it, but line two gives me a little bit of trouble...
"an almost beautifully choreographed dance" would imply that the dance has been choreographed, but not quite beautifully. However, the rest of the stanza seems to indicate that it's not really choreographed at all, as the girl is "stumbling around" and "wobbles."
That would make me think "a beautifully almost-choreographed dance" would make a better line. I think this would be cool, as it would mean the almost-choreographing was beautifully done (which I kind of get the sense is what you are saying).
The idea would then carry over more clearly into lines 11-15; where the actions described in those lines could be considered the "almost-choreography." -- Seems pretty powerful that way to me.
Of course, I'm looking at the work from the outside -- and maybe I'm reading my own ideas into it by changing your line -- but I just can't comment on a poem here without making some kind of suggestion.
Still, it's just a suggestion, do with it as you will.
Nice work.

"Lonely Tears"
Half-sitting, half-laying
His hat in the street
A few coins twinkle there
Nearby, a drummers beat.
His eyes barely open
For what's there to see
A businessman passes
Throws two quarters, maybe three.
Out of guilt or compassion
I'd say the former not the latter
For his eyes never left his watch
As though he doesn't even matter.
But the old man doesn't care
He's already learned how to cope
What he really requires
Is for us to give him hope.
A bard in me, I say to you
You that cannot see his pain
For it does indeed show itself
Time and time again.
If you peer closely
At the corner of his eye
Ah, but first you must sit a spell
And let the sun creep through the sky.
Until time then rewards
It now begins to swell
A lone tiny tear
Has finally climbed the well.
Slowly it builds
Its journey long
Vibrating in rhythm
To the drummers song.
It finally falls
Sliding over the cheek
Pounding through the stubble
Gliding where it's sleek.
Hanging from the chin
Posing in its singularity
And showing all
In utmost clarity.
Only a man
With a broken heart
Cries with
Lonely tears.

"an almost beautifully choreographed dance" would imply that the dance has been choreographed, but not quite beautifully. However, the rest of the stanza seems to indicate that it's not really choreographed at all, as the girl is "stumbling around" and "wobbles."
That would make me think "a beautifully almost-choreographed dance" would make a better line. I think this would be cool, as it would mean the almost-choreographing was beautifully done (which I kind of get the sense is what you are saying).
The idea would then carry over more clearly into lines 11-15; where the actions described in those lines could be considered the "almost-choreography." -- Seems pretty powerful that way to me.
Of course, I'm looking at the work from the outside -- and maybe I'm reading my own ideas into it by changing your line -- but I just can't comment on a poem here without making some kind of suggestion.
Still, it's just a suggestion, do with it as you will.
Nice work.

"Lonely Tears"
Half-sitting, half-laying
His hat in the street
A few coins twinkle there
Nearby, a drummers beat.
His eyes barely open
For what's there to see
A businessman passes
Throws two quarters, maybe three.
Out of guilt or compassion
I'd say the former not the latter
For his eyes never left his watch
As though he doesn't even matter.
But the old man doesn't care
He's already learned how to cope
What he really requires
Is for us to give him hope.
A bard in me, I say to you
You that cannot see his pain
For it does indeed show itself
Time and time again.
If you peer closely
At the corner of his eye
Ah, but first you must sit a spell
And let the sun creep through the sky.
Until time then rewards
It now begins to swell
A lone tiny tear
Has finally climbed the well.
Slowly it builds
Its journey long
Vibrating in rhythm
To the drummers song.
It finally falls
Sliding over the cheek
Pounding through the stubble
Gliding where it's sleek.
Hanging from the chin
Posing in its singularity
And showing all
In utmost clarity.
Only a man
With a broken heart
Cries with
Lonely tears.

bravo!
Reply:It's prose with some words missing. Poetry is more than writing in sentence fragments.
Reply:This is a fascinating, well written poem, slightly disturbing and very moving. Excellent imagery. I really enjoyed reading this. Thank you.
Reply:Simply Beautiful, but I wonder about the meaning, what is the girl hiding from? Does the girl need help with something? Or is she writing about something she has seen? You do truly have a poets heart. Keep on writing, it is such a wonderful outlet.

What you have seen in your life?
a mother cat giving birth to her kittens, two whales diving up from the water to the sky interlocked together, tomatos turning red on the vine, rain storms over a costa rican bay, a small child eat chocolate cake with their hands and feet, a chinese fish market, two friends laughing simulatiously.
Reply:A cat jumping up and down, swiping at a doorknob, to presumably try to open the door.
