Question: Here are five semi-related words!. Can you write a poem using them!?
Tide!.
Sticks!.
Stones!.
Sand!.

Here is my attempt:

A tide drifts over,
stones and sticks
on beaches of sand!.
Doing quick tricks
they wash away,
into the tide
to dance!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The tide washes over,
taking away this sticks
and stones!.
No evidence left
on the sand!.
I begin
to wonder; will that
happen
to me!?
Nothing to remember me
by; no
achievements, no
memories,
just a momentary
imprint
that will soon be
washed away
by the tide!.

Well, hey, at least I tried!. I couldn't really find a good rhythm, so I decided not to rhyme!.

-Edit- Not trying to be mean, just wondering!. What does vaccilates (or however you spell it) mean!? I hate not knowing what a word means!. Thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like your poem and shall think about it the next time I am at the beach!.

Here is my own quick effort!.

A tide washes in
The tide rushes out
The stones they stay
The sticks go away
While the sand just vacillates

Good things come my way
Bad things they come too
I can be swept away like the sticks
I can vacillate like the sand
Or I can roll like the rocks
Sometimes pummeled
Rough edges smoothed by the waves
But I’ll still be here on the beach!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The sticks line the shore
like my fears line the stones
lain across the sand
is a painting of your face and more
its hers you and her hand in hand
make the tide come
and ill let it swallow me whole
I wont have to run away from this place
like ive left everything before
it will take me away


haha
I cant ryhme with those words!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm lost in mind, like a grain of sand in the tide!.

I wrote a message with some sticks and stones, hoping you would come and save me!.

I must be wasting my time waiting for you, instead I should just build a boat with those sticks and stones, so I could ride the tide and save me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is very good! also a great idea to list nouns befor writing a poem!. Not only is it good you can help others to get started!. I could only write something like this with the words!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Sticks and stones can break my bones!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.But words hurt far more!. The tides in my mind shall wash away as I lie here on the sand!. Letting go of past hurts as i lie here on the beach, watching the wind and waters carring them away , far far away!. Ha ha, see i am not a poet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The thunderous storm, and a crack of wood,
Our smashed boat lines an island shore!.
Days it’s been, and I’m almost used to the sound
Of my groaning stomach harmonizing
With the roaring tide!.
I lay in the soft sand, the water nipping at my toes
Reminding me I’m not home!.
A desperation had succumbed me into worry,
But now an apathetic role takes it cue!.
We won’t survive, why worry that last moments!?
I walk along the beach now, dodging the stones
That spell HELP
No one is going to help us!.
A crack yelps from under me, and below my foot is blood!.
A broken stick cries where it lies!.
I look to the other survivors, a vision of peace!.
Their worry left them before mine gave up!.
A low rumble shakes the ground, and I feel the cold rain!.
I let it fall and let it drip all over me!. Every stinging pinpoint
Reminding me that I’m alive!.
I slowly move my hips and arms, and dance in the rain!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Along the shore is the (sand)
one place for sure is the beach
As the rapids of the water increase
the (tide)
will come over
Damaging the trees of the branches
and the (sticks)
With the water over the beach washing
away the (stones)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hindered as the tide is low
I snipe at the swallow
A shot netted on it's head I land
And the swallow falls to sand
Challenging it's life I poke it with sticks
It is as still and silent as stones!.

Chilled I awake and think of her
Her shot as soft and silent as the archer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've been pacing this room almost like a tide rolling in!.
Which lets me now love's about to give in!.
So I built a statue of you out of sand,
And for your fingers I replaced them with sticks,
And A stone in your chest where your heart should be!.
It makes so much sense!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

First there was sand
on my feet
next the tide came in
a stone jumped across the water
i threw sticks

As hourglass sands
Call high tide low
The aged man sits!.

Watching stones
Roll mossbound hills
The aged man waits!.

A house of sticks,
Changeless weather,
The aged man sleeps!.

A peace has come
He never knew
Before he was aged!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

SON OF A BEACH
They call me B-U-Z-Z and I'll be your tour guide/Come aboard my love boat it's gonna be a high tide/We gonna skim across the ocean on my 40 foot ride/In the cabin there's a party don't go over the side/Aye yi crew let's head for the Waikiki Islands/Where the natives are restless and the woman are smilin'/Bikinis and thongs the passengers are stylin'/ All hands on deck cause Captain Stubing's profilin'/The sand is pure white and the sky's a pink hue/The luau is happenin' so what you gonna do!?/The hula girls are doin' there hula hula hoo/There's romance in the air, girl can you feel it too!?/The stones are molten lava the palm trees are thick/And we're so far out on the surf they look like sticks/Europeans jet skiin' in those tight wet slicks/A dolphin comes by often flippin' doing his tricks/You can be my Island Girl I'm your Samoan Joe/Pretty slanted eyes winkin' like you're ready to go/Fire twirlers, Bongo players going outta control/Be my Asian beauty woman from Tokyo!.!.!.

CHORUS: We're a long way from Chicago the Pacific is hot/With it's breath taking beauty givin' you all she's got/I was tropidelic hooked never out of reach/She made me a new man, no a son of a beach!

Paper, rock, scissors girl you lost the bet/Let go to Diamondhead Beach and watch the sunset/Watch the waves crash the sand Land Of No Regrets/You're worth a million sand dollars I forgot all the rest/What we gonna do today I would ask my darlin'/Rent a chartered boat to catch a couple of marlins/The weather is pleasant and the people are charmin'/Live life a slower pace no more fire alarmin'!.!.!.

CHORUS: We're a long way from Chicago the Pacific is hot/With it's breath taking beauty givin' you all she's got/I was tropidelic hooked never out of reach/She made me a new man, no a son of a beach!
