Honorable mention- 100 gold

If you would like to donate I would be VERY grateful.


3. DESCRIPTION

This contest is all about creativity, really, I don't think anyone will ahve a problem with it. What you do is close your eyes and write about the first thing that pops into your head. Even if it's this site, or if it's love, or a pair of scissors, I don't care, just write a poem about it. Yes, I said POEM. I don't want any prose. I wil grade it by how much I like it, (which includes word choice, flow, and "sylaballic tempo") For Example:

I like flowers
Flowers are cool
I like flowers because they are cool.

Do you notice everything wrong in this? The repetative word "flowers" and the unmatched "sylaballic tempo" in the last line. You know what I mean. redface AND the rhyming of the word cool with itself.

4. ENTRANTS
Entrants will be posted here.
1. xx_Forever_Lost_xx (paid and entered) xd
2. halogal (paid and entered) xd
3. Howlet Bohemian (paid and entered) xd


QUESTIONS:
When does the contest end?

My answer: Sorry I forgot to add that, but usually I just wait until I have a fair amount of entrees, but I realize that it's not fair to you. I will close the contest on February 20th. biggrin

Why

You try and try
to make my life
full of misery
but do you have
any reason
any idea
of what you do to me
I sit I cry
day by day
And here's my reason why
It's what you do
things you can't see
like the pain inside of me
And so, I ask and ask you Why
Why, still, do you try
Try so hard to make me feel
that it's all my fault
and always was
that I've felt this way
Thus I sit I cry
Day by day
And you're the reason why

I'm entering just because of this:

CAT
Won't stop walking in front of me,
Meowing like a birdie's tweet.
Tufts of fur fly off of you,
Landing in something that I'd chew.
You make it impossible for me to walk,
When you spread out in the hall at 2 o'clock.
You tiptoe across my piano, too
My ears ring as I listen to you.
When will you shut up? I ask,
Though I know you’re just a cat.
Finally I follow you to your food bowl
Finding that it’s as empty as your little kitty skull.



*NO OFFENSE TO MY CAT!!!!!* sweatdrop

Indigo

Dong of the Iron-Bell, humming
Tranquil every-blowing winds, that
Whip wildly throughout the soul’s labyrinths.

The wondering inner child, never
Spoiled from greed or prideful ways, pure
Untarnished, steadfast invulnerability.

That innocent smile, untouched hands
Reaching out and clasping, cradling
Coddling all thoughts of malice.

Sweet and lulling, lavender fields
Fresh with young white sage, damp
And warm soil’s musk.

Peaceful astral meadows, vast
Expansions of dew soaked earth, filled
With the serene hums of harmony.

Clarity of mind, an absolute
Though knowledge, dormant
Till spark of need sings recollection.


(And if anyone remembers, I used to be TheBeanBag sweatdrop )
