Welcome to Gaia! ::

About contest: this contest is to test your skills for the darkerside of poetry(while not breaking anyrules.) I will not give you pictures to go by for I think it limits creativity. I honestly don't enjoy happy upbeat poems(no offence to anyone) so if you want to win this contest you must write a poem with sad or depressing mood. It could also be a what if poem, as in would the cat still be alive if her owner didn't leave the door open. (if your confused on a what if poem message me and I'll give you an example)

The deadline: If you want to enter you must do so before october, 13th. I will be judging the poems on that day. I wont exept any poems after this date.

To enter: I' to nice to charge an entry fee ^^ lucky you. You must post your poem here then PM it to me right away IF YOU ARE NOT A MEMBER OF The Guild of Competitive Writers then you cannot post, so only send the poem to me and I will post it on here for you.

DISQUALIFIED

EVERYONE WHO GETS DISQUALIFIED WILL END UP HERE!

Yes! Depressing poems! My fav! I got a whole bunch of these, though sorry to say a bunch of them suck! But this one I likey a lot!

Bleeding Moon

In the wavering darkness,
In the utter blackness,
In the pitch black sky,
The moon is bleeding.
Crimson red blood
Flows down upon the earth.
Upon me
And my upturned face.
Staining my skin
Covering my tears
With its own shame.
So I cry out into the night
Searching for the one
Who will heal the moon.
But the moon is bleeding
And no one is there.
So I’m left here standing
All alone
In the darkest night.
My cheeks are stained
With tears and blood
But still no one has come.
So, I continue to pray
That one day
We will all be saved.

Waiting for You

Deep in the depths
My heart aches
For you to return, to
Correct the mistakes

Where are you now?
Could you be near?
Are you thinking of me,
Through the unclear?

Come back to me
Through blood and gore
Return to me,
Lost soldier of war

But keep up the fight
Though I'm alone
Waiting for you
It chills to the bone

Desperate for feeling
Unsure of fate
Willing to cry out
The entire wait

But a letter came
Today in the mail
It said you were gone
Dead as a nail

So I'll join you now...
The wait was too much
Missing your warmth
At your hand's touch

After all,
I never could tell:
Was war worth it,
If they sent you to hell?

Although things were bad
And getting worse
Sending you to war
Was my eternal curse

Yes! I made a place! Delayed response, but I never checked. I'm too pessimistic and thought I lost! xp
