My Poetry!

So... here's the deal! I'm normally very protective of my poetry and I'll only WILLINGLY let my mother and sometimes Jessica read it! So... this is kind of a big step for me, but if I want to write when I get older I getter get stop dreading it now!

Forgotten and Lovely World by Courtney

Aw, what a wonder is the world!
For this is my beloved home!
To look upon thy rolling hills,
To recieve in solice and to be alone!

There sings the nightingale,
And there blooms the flower!
Time for you stands strangely still
Yet, tis the illusion -
Suprisingly growing every hour.

With every moment you paint a picture
In places blurred and others more bright.
The artist of the natural man-
To be for them a golden light.

The Rescue of a Princess by Courtney

The woods were thick,
The briers prickly,
For never did I know I'd pick
To run into such a history.

For after much of wandering,
I nearby found a castle,
Guarded by a creature, fire breathing,
To pass would be a hassle.

But my will to fight began to climb,
For adventure roused within my soul.
Yet I waited for the unknown time,
My luck would take it's deadly toll.

Suprisingly the fight was won!
I slew the dragon's filthy heart.
And through the castle I began to run,
Not knowing the life my search would start.

In a chamber far above
I found the sleeping maiden fair!
I could not contain my passionate love
For her sky-blue eyes and golden hair.

But there she lay,
Delicate hands as cold as stone.
Years and years she must have stayed
In the tallest tower, sleeping alone.

I never thought her dead!
She too much a beauty!
But her frozen body lye still in bed,
Her rescue now my duty.

A tear came to my saddened eye.
I leaned to kiss the sleeping dame.
If it were, I hoped to die!
And sleep beside her lovely frame.

But came a voice so small and sweet,
I could barely even hear.
"Nothing more you need defeat,
You've rescued me my dear!"

Okay, Disclaimer: that last one was assigned! Believe me, I can't stand all that mushy gushy Romeo stuff! Yuck! Don't even get me started on Romeo! He's such a dipwad! See! I have no life! I vent over Shakespeare's characters instead of real people and situations!

ANYWAY! This is my way of putting myself out there and...not being scared to!
