Here is my poem:

The White House

the white house is the right house to be living in

you'll never be hungry ever again

you'd think you'd be happy but with all this fear and doubt

all the people can do is jeer and pout

i can handle it you say with a pound

ha i laugh you'd be hiding in the ground

while we relax in the sand

they keep shrapnel from coming from Vietnam

[Thalia]

Is this based on an O Henry Story...coz I think I've read the story somewhere...but really well put in a poem

It sounds like "The Last Leaf".

@Aki- I really enjoyed your poem.

weeelll welll... look what i have dug up from the mountain of papers in my room. a poem i wrote last yr during class.. now it's rather melancholic but hey i was in class no surprise there right?

note: i wrote this as if being seen by the eyes of the grim reaper..

hours of the midnight red moon

through me pass the hours of deathly nights

where shrieks and terrors are my only delights

my soul can no longer find it's rest

thrown into eternity my existence takes these hours for the best

all agonies, all sorrows, all pass through me

all sins, all tumbles before me to see

through me they enter into the gates of woe

all with bashful acts uphold

through me they see what's truly instore

as their pleadings, their apologies, their wails roar

i know of no emotion to feel with these souls

sympathy and pity play no roles

all who are forsaken are forsaken forevermore

all mistakes considered not less not more

this void where my heart was once stored

has been deprived of emotions sweet nectar

at times i feel t'is better to be reaped

then to be responsible for the end of lives and what they hoped

but sins of all kinds increase by the passing of the days

and my time fills more with the sorrows of those who have lost their way

it's pathetic to see what was once pure as snow

grows to destroy all that he knows

there is no beauty in what i go through

only acceptance on what has been bestowed upon me to do

through eternity i pass

through eternity i endure

gods once greatest creation

has been sullied by the truth

hope you enjoy it
