Green Garments

My garments are green shaded
Immersed in thunder and raided
By a pure symphony of lightning
That will forever shine, dancing

My garments, they bewilder
They startle in manners tender
Shock both common and bourgeois
They think me a fool in need of solace

My garments will not change
Not for my love nor for any range
I will carry my pledge to the grave
And I do not need anyone's rave.

^Thanks, Triplet!

And now here's my second poem:

Games and Other Things

It's always push and pull
First you like me then you don't
Then you can't and then you won't
It always feels like breaking rules
It's a tug of war, it's a marathon
Worst thing is, they're always ahead
And I know it's nothing I ever said
'Coz I said nothing and yet I'm lone
I don't know this dating game
What do I do, who do I trust?
All to all is nothing but dust
And everything is always the same.

Rainbows:

Rainbows:
A study in colour
A perfect picture
Life depicted
In lovely multicolour.

Rainbows:
One small deed
Split into seven
Physical phenomena
Prismatic in appearance.

Rainbows:
Sunshine and rain
Transcended light
No shadow apparent
Perhaps invisible?

Rainbows:
Different feelings denoted
Violet mystery and red passion
All colours made to finish
A human in its glory.

My Room

My room is a prison
A life behind rules
Where time is no fun
And I am only a mule.
My room is a castle
Strengthened by hate
Locked in with dazzle
Where nothing may sate
My room is a snare
Within all boundaries
To enchant all near
With the promise of a kiss
My room is a fake
And so am I too
Whatever I make
I can only rue.

Garments - I liked this one, I actually found there to be a lot of humor in it, like a sassiness meets formal "they bewilder, they startle in manners" the rhymes keep it light xD


Games and Rainbows - You do a lovely job with rhymes and flow, I like the end stanza of rainbow: all colors made to finish a human in its glory - that is satisfying!

Room - don't rue it! Keep it going, show us more!<3



I think the best thing about making it into the quote generator is when nobody tells you, so one day you're just scrolling and voila, some phenomenally inane thing that crawled out of your dying synapses and immediately regretted being born the second it made contact with the air has been archived for all time. Or worse, a remark of only average inanity. Never tell me when you've put me in the generator. Pride-tinged regret just doesn't taste the same without the spice of surprise.
