Secret Poems
We all have our deepest darkest secrets. Try to write a poem that encompasses one of your own without actually telling the reader what it is. Here's a riddle to get you goin: Sometimes I feel as if I were a secret. That when I am out, there are eyes to judge my appearance. That when I am spoken, there are ears to misinterpret my meaning. And that when I am found, I am more than likely to be disliked. What am I?

Old Love, New Love

I hate this choice, that hangs above me

Her smile the cause of all this calamity

Her emeralds, roses, delicate skin

The face of an angle awaiting for sin

My heart aches with fear, love, anticipation

But the hands of love's faith plans my own execution

An eye for an eye, a love for a love

But who will I lose for the heart of a dove?

A simplistic request in my own relm of known

But hated by those in my mind, in my home

Am I just another Ophelia, is she my Juliet?

What is this but a young lovers lament

A centeries old problem, with a modern solution

My heart will but beat forever, I'll wait for personal seclution

Before I truely know, because if they do

I'll lose old love for a lover's heart I'm bound to

Lose, I miss acting in scripted normality

Loved by the ones who's faith doesn't love me
