I thought it was time I added to the poem section, so here it is.
Flame of Night
Run to the dark of the shadows
Come to the dark of the night
Bask in the warmth of the darkness
Run from the flickering light
The wind's rising higher
The fire is blinding
The river is flowing
The mountains are glowing
The shadow is calling
The flame of the night
Hear me call from the shadows
Hear me call in the night
Swirling shadows of darkness
Swallowing up the light
The wind's rising higher
The fire is blinding
The river is flowing
The mountains are glowing
The shadow is calling
The flame of the night
Join me in a nightmare
The torment of the mind
Wrapped up in a shadow
Hidden from mankind
The wind's rising higher
The fire is blinding
The river is flowing
The mountains are glowing
The shadow is calling
The flame of the night

Very nice, my good comrade!! It reminded me of both of those things that were mentioned, as well as a certain Clevwrith, if you know what I mean. ;D  |

Interesting enough, I wasn't thinking of Phantom or Jekyll and Hyde or Clevwrith when I wrote it, but now that you mention it it would work for all of them wouldn't it! Cool!
Okay, this is going to be a bit off topic but Chloe and I won't be able to send e-mails from Canada after all, because my aunts computer is blocking our e-mail account! We will talk on here when we can.
Alright, back on topic, thanks everybody who liked my poem!
Okay, modifying so I can add a poem without double posting.

Seem simple at first to write

I've never quite gotten Haiku poems. Perhaps its because I've never heard them out loud. I've heard the rules on writing them (17 syllables, with 5 in the first line, 7 in the second, and 5 in the last, right?), but I don't yet have a feel for them like I do limmericks. Must be because I've heard limmericks all my life, but only read haiku. And it's a different type of poem.
Anyway, good job. That seems to be true about Haiku.

thanks! yeah, Haikus are 17 syllables (5, 7, 5), and in traditional Haiku I think there is something about them having something to do with one or more of the four seasons and having something suprising at the end. Not shocking, but maybe there is a winter clearing and the last line is a red fox appearing in the clearing. Something like that. But modern Haiku goes in all different directions (within the syllable guidelines).
