Well, here's some of my songs and poems. This song is based on a story that I have made in my head for a character I have made up. It is sort of like Brenda's extended version of "Menolly's Running Song".
Here's my first song:

The Journeys of My Fair and Me
My travels are long and far, ment only for my fair and me.
Dragon, fire lizards, canines too.
My large fair and I,
traveling by land and air and sea.
Watch-weyrs, felines, herdbeasts too, to our friendships I must be true.
Running far and wide, my fair and me must be there too.
Runnerbeasts, queenrider, and harper too.
Misfits we are through and through.

Challenges of thread and food, to survive we must be true
to our friendships through and through.
Many feet running, with throats so dry we almost choke.
Thread we face and fires, too.
Plaque and flood and lack of food.
My fair and me with burning feet,
too cold, too hot, too tired true.
To each other we must be true.
My fair and I, run fast and true.
The sight of Cove Hold makes us blue,
for our journey is yet long still.
Caves our shelters, fish our food.

We stand together, through and through.
We run so swift, it's hard to go on.
Runnerbeasts are tired, watch-weyrs are hurting.
Fire lizards coughing, felines should quit.
But we can not quit, my large fair and me.
We run and we run, are feet start to bleed.
Canines, felines, watch-weyrs, and herdbeasts, too.
Fire lizards, runnerbeasts,a dragon, and me.
Through jungles, rolling hills, and hot sands too,
we help each other true.

The seas are calm, the wind is too.
Nothing is a brew.
Distant clouds approach, my queen rumbles a challenge,
the fire lizards do too.
I tell my fair to wait, and slithers start to fall.
Thread!
I cry to my queen and fire lizards that we won't fight thread today.
My fair and I run fast and true.
Our feet burn and bleed and our stomachs turn.
We run and run and run, so fast that we can not stop.
Our goal is none, but need is great.
My queen sweeps up me, some felines too.

Watch-weyrs take the canines, the herdbeasts and runnerbeasts too.
My dragon sweeps up the watchweyrs in her claws, some of the creatures on her back.
Suddenly we're swept by the cold of between.
We're over the beach, thread straight over our heads.
We land and we run, straight toward a cave high in the cliff.
Our feet burn and bleed as we climb so high.
Through the opening we go, without even a single sigh.

The times they pass, the thread it stops.
My fair and I run and run until we reach a tall, tall hill.
We climb and bleed, ourselves in need.
Over the hill we go, to where we don't know.
We see the roaring sea, boats going back and forth.
We know we are closer to where we need to be.
My queen rows us across the sea.
The shore we see, the shore we cross.

We finally run until we see the Harper Crafthall.
I looked at my fair, glad that they were there with me.
At the feast that night, I sang a song won't be forgoten.
In the turns to come, our tale shall be told by Harpers as blue,
but we will remeber it as gay.
They will tell of our journeys,
the journeys of my fair and me.

Here's a poem of mine, it's an extended version of, and includes this verse, "Speak softly to my lizard fair Nor raise your hand to me. For they are quick to take offense And quicker to champion me."
Well, here it is:

Do Not Offend
Do not offend or threaten,
those with lizards obidient with every deed.
Talons cut the skin, and make a person bleed.
So stay in fair good temper, around my lizards and me.

This is the original verse.

Speak softly to my lizard fair
Nor raise your hand to me.
For they are quick to take offense
And quicker to champion me.

Softly others speak,
Softly others act,
To make no offense to my lizards,
For quickly they will act.

Talons on skin bare,
Or clothes that they shall tear.
Make offense to my lizard,
And blood and scars you shall bare.

Be kind you see, in word and deed
And friends we shall be.
Lizards can be kind,
Or can be vicious to man kind.

To be soft in word and deed,
Is very smart indeed.
For offend me,
And my lizards will take offense.

This a love song that I think you will really like.

Holder, Hold Me Tight
Young holder, hold me tight,
Young holder, hold me true.
Young holder, hold me tight,
And I will forever love you.

Young holder,
You are not well liked.
But I see what others don't,
I see another side of you.

Holder, don't let go.
I don't ever want to leave,
For to you I am true.
Holder, don't let go.

Shy I have been,
But my love is always true.
'Round you I am shy,
And you are always sly.

Holder, hug me tighter,
For I will hug you tighter, too.
If you leave me behind,
Then our love is not true.

Young holder, don't let go.
I won't let go of you.
My love too true
To let you go.

Others think you're mean,
But I find you quiet sweet.
I find you smart and strong,
And I find you quiet kind.

Young holder, hold me tight,
Young holder, hold me true.
Young holder, hold me tight,
And I will forever love you.

Young holder,
Young holder,
Young holder,
Young holder.

Criticism
I used to enjoy writing,
Until I got feedback here.
Now I hardly write,
My ego really bruised.

I tell them I'm just a kid,
But they don't ever listen.
When I told them I was a kid,
They hit me ten times harder.

Now I just don't write,
Only on paper late at night.
People tell me to live with it,
But some people just aren't that way.

I should treat others
They way they treat me.
Remember the saying,
Treat others they way you'd want to be treated.

Criticism,
A real ego bruiser.
So no more checking
Feedback for me.

Why Must The Past
Why must the past
Haunt us like a bad dream?
Why must the past
That happened before us
Hang over us like a dark cloud?
Why must the past
Of our family
Make our hearts sink?
Why must the past
Of the world
Seem like it was so close?
The past,
A long-time memory,
Why must it
Haunt us so?
That is what I'd
Like to know.
Why must the past
Haunt us?

A Mile In My Shoes
Go ahead,
Put on my shoes,
Walk a mile and then
You'll see,
It's not easy to be me.

Some are smart,
Some are fast,
And some are both,
But to me I'm neither,
I just have a hard life, you see.

Hard, harder, hardest,
That's how my days go.
Shy, shyer, shyest,
That's how I get.
Angry, angrier, angriest,
That's how I seem to grow.

Walk a mile in my shoes,
And which path would you choose?
It's hard to be me,
Soon you will see.

Homework,
Grades,
Chores, too,
Everyone expects much of me.

Walk a mile in my shoes,
Then she why I'm
Angry or cranky.

I'm Sorry :sad:
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry,
I'm really really sorry.
My allergies made me cranky,
And my day made me upset.

I'm sorry,
I'm sorry,
I didn't mean what I said.

I'm sorry,
I'm sorry,
I didn't mean what I did.

Please, please
Forgive me!
I didn't mean it!
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry. :sad: :cry:

This is a song I wrote for a character I'm role playing at Southern Weyr, and I hope to write a Pern Fan Fic for this character in the future.

Shawant's Miracle
Shawant the singer,
Shawant the blind,
Always singing,
And never hides.

Shawant always won,
He couldn't loose,
He loved all games,
He couldn't choose!

Then one day,
With a sparkle of green,
A dragon landed,
For it was a search day!

Around and around the rider went,
Searching for candidates,
And then she stops upon one boy,
The blind Shawant!

Yanked away on the dragon green,
Soon in the sky and not seen,
The rushing cold of between,
And then the sky reappeared.

And then a hum,
To the hatching sands they go.
Crack and crack,
Hatchling by hatchling hatch.

A blue walked 'round
Until his eyes layed upon Shawant.
He ran over and said You're mine!,
And started to wimper and cry.

"I can see, I can see!" was Shawants cry,
No longer Shawant but Sh'want,
On the hatching grounds blind,
Blind but not blinded.

I hope you like this, and will remind you of someone. I will always remember myself, and my best friend, as the small-town girls. But I doubt that I will be the one to make a name for herself. Here it is:

Small-Town Girl

:note: Grew up in a small town,
Never alone.
Dreaming of something bigger,
Something out of my reach.

Don't where I'll end up,
Or if I'll end up alone,
But one thing that I do know
Is who I want to be.

A scientist, an artist, a doctor, too,
Anything will suit me,
As long as it's true.

From sunrise to sunset,
I'll work hard, but never forget
The girl from the small town,
The girl I used to be.

The people I used to know,
Will point at me.
They will say I knew her,
Our small-town girl.

And others won't remeber
The small-town girl
That I used to be.
Some won't even know of
The girl I used to be.

Some will say
I used to live in a small town,
And I was never alone.
There used to be a girl
Called the small-town girl.

One label I will live proudly,
Will not be a title.
Not 'Professor' or 'Doctor",
But small-town girl
Small-town girl. :note:

This is more of a description poem, sort of not.

Jewel of the Sea
Deep blue sea,
Dragon green,
Lone butterfly boat,
Rider in coat,
Dark, gray skies
Tell no lies,
It's going to be a stormy day.
