3RROR404's 100 Themes

Dear readers,

My name is 3RROR404. I am an aspiring writer, and I am partaking in the 100 Themes challenge to improve my craft as a writer. This will be an interesting journey for me and all readers who stick with me until the end. As difficult as it may be, I want to complete the majority of this challenge using poetry. I don't expect it to be easy, but I will do my best to have this done in a year after I make this post. Please feel free to comment and offer critiques for all of my work. I don't mind if you post in this thread or send me a PM. I always enjoy hearing feedback from my readers so that I know what I have done right/wrong.

Happy reading,

3RROR404

Mother Nature

Untitled Haiku

The Arctic winds howl
Snow shrouds the barren landscape
A dark winter night

Light & Dark

Starring into the starless sky
Looking for a light
Watching time as it waves goodbye
It's another silent night

Watching the tide pass by
Following the light of the moon
Pondering while time flies
It will be daylight soon

Across the sea in the darkest night
Beyond the depths of the ocean blue
Through the heavenly skies a light
Emitting a radiant hue

Staring into the starless sky
Now there is a light
Watching time as it waves goodbye
Grasping for the star so bright

Watching the tide pass by
Following the light of the moon
Pondering as time flies
Morning came too soon

Waiting

Time, just passing by
Milliseconds, hours, or years
Time waits for no one

Not sure what the theme for this one is

My name matters not
For I have none
They watch me fly by
As the moon yields to the sun
Unquiet silence filling the air
The cries of lost souls
Their deathly wails
The clocks keep ticking
Echoing a name
Tis a shame
I claim no name

For all I have
Are the souls of the dammed
Dammed fore'er
With such a vile name
Tis a shame
I ne'er wished for that name

They call me death
Only then do we part
They call me end
But, only then
My job starts
Just another chapter
Upon a blank page
Blank like the faces
Crying out my vile name
Tis a shame
To bear such a name

Swift as the wind
I see the world decay
Lacking color, Just gray
Crumbling all around me
The shrieks of lost souls surround me
Incessant like the ticking of the clocks
Echoing a wretched name
Tis a shame
Is it my name?

Blazing sun shine bright
Banish the winter moonlight
Cast away the cold

I've been searching for the right words to say.
Only to find that one day
they would just appear
like snowflakes.
Only for a moment
Just to vanish right away.

Pain from all the tears.
Why, why does love hurt so much?
Because it is real.

Recollecting memories
Recounting the years
Remembering the serenity
A river of tears

With you now
As the colors turn grey
Reminiscing now
Please don't go away

Kaleidoscope of colors
Their dazzling light
Radiating hues
The melodies of life

Recollecting memories
Recounting the years
Remembering the serenity
Of moments so dear

Reminiscent smile
A smile so blue
Chasing the colors
Right back to you

Black and white
The melodies of life
Transcending the test
Of time

Recollecting the memories
Recounting the years
Remembering the serenity
No more tears

First black, then red
So many colors
Spinning inside
My head

Whirlpool of emotion
Full of doubt
Wanting to hold them in
Needing to let them out

A starving beast
Inside a rusty cage
Awaiting a feast
Only to remain contained

Gasping for air
The cry of the beast
Resonating inside
My head

First black, then red
All those colors
Flying out
Of my head

No longer in doubt
The beast is out
A river of emotions
Outside my head

Words, words, words
Sharpen your knife with
Words, words, words
Dual ended daggers
Leaving marks on me and you
Words, words, words
Dulling my pencil
As I write words

Cue the trumpets.
Sound the gong.
This is war.
Men, to arms!

Thousands of men
Lined by the gates
All neat in files
Men, don't break rank

Target acquired
Enemy in site
Archers at the ready
Defend with all your might

Shields at the ready
Archers drawing their bow
Men hold steady
Brace yourselves for the blow

A rain of arrows
Hinders their advance
Men be ready
For a counterattack

First come the horsemen
Then come the knights
Now for a battle
To test our might

A clash of swords
As foes meet
Echoing cries
Of their enemy's defeat

(Work in Progress)
