Hello guys!

I remember reading poems in high school and I just read a poem on the forums. I searched on the Internet on what exactly is the purpose of poems. I'll be honest, I use to think they were just useless and have no meaning. So being the curious person I am, I queried why people make poems. I read of all the answers on Yahoo! Answers (a place I visit a lot) and I really wanted to make a poem of my own. I've never got to posting a poem because every time I make one at night I fall asleep. I think at my best around night time, but I guess I can't make poems at night as I sleep without noticing. I'm not going to share this on the forums in my signature as I feel that, well, I'm a nub at this haha (maybe I will until I feel a little more confident about it). Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Suffocating Waves

A wave silently creeps over me,
Laughter and more laughter echoes around.
Distant on an island,
I stand.
I call out to those far in the distance,
Far away they may be,
No one notices.
Around I search on this island,
Spacious and sandy,
No one here.
Except me and the waves.
Useless waves and only me.
Another wave overcomes,
I sigh, sit, and stare with no expression and,
I squint at the soulless sun subsiding.
I dream to be with another to share the waves,
Laughter and more laughter,
No one here.
I survey the island once again,
Laughter and more laughter,
No one here.
I lay down empty.
Now thinking of days that shouldn't be,
Days that cannot be forgotten,
Days that always appear,
Days that I regret.
The waves start to recede,
I look in curiosity.
The waves rise,
Climbing higher and higher while gathering all the air,
Suffocating,
I cannot say a thing.
Down the waves crash on to me!
Water flows instantly over my body,
Mind,
Soul.
Laughter and more laughter, people are around.

That ends my attempt at making a poem. If you guys have suggestions for me to improve, let me know. Next poem will be related to Fiesta. I'll be posting my Saturday Update soon!
