Isn't that just the most imaginative thread title I could come up with.
I don't pretend to know much of the technical aspects of poetry writing, nor do I have much experience. Really, I just use it as a way of concentrating random thoughts and bits of muse. Gentle constructive criticism would be marvellous, if anyone would be so kind. :) Will be updated whenever I write something new.
(Be aware that nearly everything I write is very, very personal. If anyone wants to ask where the idea for something came from, feel free to ask!)

LUGHNASADH MORNING
Bring me a warrior's tongue,
So that I might learn to speak.
Two fingers tied with a wolf's hair, coarse
Not a sword arm, broad; I sent them back.
Ears of heaven talk of gunshot dreams,
And of sharp footfalls by dun-soul strangers.
Tumbling, saffron flames, bright, bold
Stories sold of old haunts and dog days past.
Eyes of earth plucked in a sooty birth,
Live to see rolling landscapes of rainbow worlds.
Soily skin of fellows, burnt
The plastic sheen of soft-hide foes.
Not even feet or hands carved by a sun's mastery,
Nor moon's sea-stuff orchestra or a fruit farmer's harvest.
Bring me a warrior's tongue,
So that I might learn to speak.
STARRY
lay down
give me your sweet smile, be isolated
it comes out best then
pale arms, spinning
the colours i wear are that
of your night-sky eyes
i want to revise you
no, i want to revise the rules
you said i never could
one day i'll lay them out for you, and
and, and you'll realise, how far i'll f-fall
just to find your heart.
