I write poetry! From what I've been told, I'm not that bad (I'm bad at judging myself, I tend to overcriticise). But anyway, are we supposed to post poems here?

Rain of Fire
They did not deserve this fate, no one does. First their homes, then there beloved children, then finally them, they all suffered from the same fate. It came so swiftly that none had even the smallest fragment of time to prepare. But, even if they were ready, nothing could have saved them.
A rain of fire and sulfur came from the heavens. There was no source, it just fell. It destroyed everything in its path, more destructive than a tornado, more destructive than a hurricane. Nothing of the sort had ever happened, but now their fate was sealed. Their monuments to the great kings of old were gone in one massive strike.
It was never expected, it was never anticipated. This blanket of destruction was just unleashed upon this world. There was no mortal reason for this tragedy to take place. The only reason that existed was in the mind of a deity, located high into the heavens. There was no feeling of remorse in the eyes of this deity. His own people, the ones whom he had created, became heretics. They killed his only faithful servant…themselves.

Mountain's Song
The soaring peaks,
And dizzying heights,
A shadowed outline during the night,
The soft music of the mountain creek,
Always I'll hear their song
The rough stone beneath my hand,
Older then I can understand,
As I take in the beauty of the land,
Amidst the outcropping of rock.
Total ecstasy I feel,
As I fall on the mountain top and kneel,
All I can do is yell,
For the ancient giant I have felled.
As the joy dies down,
I sit and for the first time look around,
Take in the beauty of the virgin land,
Untouched by man's dark hand.
I cringe in fear and realize,
That one day this place might be "civilized",
And think how it's so very wrong,
How this mountain might no longer have a song.

I tend to write run-on poems... A lot... sweatdrop
Here's a poem-ish-type-thing that I wrote last summer...
Today
A lover's cry scribbled on the walls
My life it falls
On the ceiling on the floor
On the window on the door
It burns a hole through my soul
When I see it I grow cold
I think I feel I am the same
Don't ever call me by thee name
I am my own, I know this moan
I see my only dreams
Come to life and shatter
As I sing it grows fatter
I shiver, I quiver
I don't know you
Do you know me?
We see only what we want to see
Then how come my eyes are open
When things have been broken?
My dream has gone down the drain
I think, I feel
Have I gone insane?
Answers are all questions
Waiting to be asked
While the rest are all a pass
See me by the road
Show me where to go
To hide from all the people
Watching my every move
Show me what to do
I see a shadow at the bush
I love no one
I hate it all
'Gone home and there I fall
Down, down and deeper still
All I know is not my will
We see everything but what is there
How can we not try to share
Everything I knew is gone
Everything that will be is my life
My hope, my hate
My blood is black
I see what will make my fate
As I lie upon the floor
Wishing I am no more
I cannot feel nor can I see
All that is a part of me
I drown into the icy breath
That is my last
I shall confess
To all that is and all that has
Been a long inside my past
I see nothing but everything
I cannot be no more than I am
All I am is all that is
What I am is all I feel
As I lie you kneel
Beside me on my last
Breath taken from the past
As I call to you I say
"Everything we see is all that we want
All that we care is nothing more than lust
All that I've seen today
Is all that we must"
Know when to strike a blow
Know how to do the way the path
It winds behind and intertwinds
Everything that was
Everything that is
Everything that will
Is all but nothing still
"I have to go
I must flee
The winds are calling down to me"
As I float away
To face what is today
I know, it's shitty. Criticsm of any kind is appreciated.

Not bad. I didn't get much from it message-wise though... Also, I find it seemed like you tried to hard to rhyme it. I must admit, I really like this though:
All I am is all that is
What I am is all I feel
But those criticisms aside, it was pretty good.

Yesyes, you can post poetry here, but please... Try and keep the topics about wicca/paganism going. <3 However, I do love poetry. Anyone got some pagan-based stuff?

This one's all.. abtract ish. <3
~ Dream ~
* Dream Away *
An ebony abyss,
Yawning, opening,
To swallow me.
Reality fades and
I am engulfed in
Fantasy.
Smooth worlds woven
From an imagination.
Can you see through
The deceptions to the
Truth?
For strands of reality
Remain embedded in the
Fog.
