Welcome to ~PoetryToTheMasses' weekly feature.

Star!Bullet; RedPLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CAN WE HAVE SOME MORE SUGGESTIONS FROM OUTSIDE dA! Bullet; RedStar!
I HAVE NONE LEFT!

Each week I will feature two poem suggested by deviants with some information about the poems and the poets. One poem is from deviantART itself, and the other is not.

Please +favlove this article and watch ~PoetryToTheMasses  or join #Poetry-To-The-Masses to show your support.





There is no poem from outside dA today as I have not received any suggestions.






This is All About YouThis Is All About You:
Most people giving you advice, might take a quote from a book
Most people giving you advice, have never had a real look
So from someone who's been watching, let me lay my heart bare
I want to show you all the special things, about the girl for whom I care
She always does her very best, no matter how tough the task
Even when she's struggling, she puts on a brave mask
She's always trying to learn new things, just for a chance to make you proud
She can be a little bit quiet, but I think that's better than being loud
She's not the very best in sports, I know she can be kind of a klutz
But she smiles and goes on anyway, now that takes a lot of guts...
She gets embarassed pretty easily and gets far too nervous to talk
But I know she'd like it if we held hands, whenever we went for a walk
She doesn't need a lot of pretty things, she just wants someone who cares
I bet she'd like to have someone, whom she knew would always be there
I remember when she tried to cook

I bet she'd like to have someone, whom she knew would always be there

I remember when she tried to cook...yeah that first time was really bad

Burnt toast and scrambled shells...man that was really sad

But you know she practiced every day, because she wanted to give you a box

That was full of all your favourite things, I guess that must have rocked

But in the end she never got to you and so I think I'll take this chance

To steal this lovely lady's heart if she'd simply spare me a glance

So tick your answer:
[] Yes
[] No
[] I just met you and this is crazy, but if I made you laugh then call me maybe?

Author's Comment:

Alright so, I'm a dark poet...in general...in fact the next pieces I'm preparing are 'Whispering to Lucifer' and 'Lamb of God'. Well those are the tentative titles.

But anyway, the point I want to make is this. Even if we are dark, there are times when we should smile and be happy and enjoy ourselves. So amidst the slew of dark emotions I'm seeing being constantly thrown head-first onto DA, I thought I would try to release a nice romantic piece, but...

IT FAILED DESU! :icondesuplz: I'M TERRIBLE AT ROMANCE!

So in the end, I turned it around using the one-line format and switched it up into sort of a cheesy comical love-poem which I would use if I were friendzoned around 6 years ago (when I was 16). Unfortunately now my style is very different and I'm very straight forward about things like love ^^;

Anyway, enjooooy the cuteness...or the fail...whichever you like best xD.
