Welcome to the almighty Poetry Contest! This is the continuation of the last contest I held. If you are looking for the previous contest to retrieve your entry, or review the winners, the old contest can be found here. Check out my Profile!Deadline:July 12th (Two weeks) -More specifically, 12:00 pm Eastern Daylight Savings Time Zone- The winners should be announced within a couple of hours, if not instantaneously.Prizes:1st Place: 1000 gold
2nd Place: 500 goldEntry Fee:0 gold. As in free.Rules:All pieces must be entirely original (In other words, plagiarism is illegal -- not just morally, legally.).
You may submit a poem that was previously entered in another contest, unless that piece won (It would be unfair to the other contestants if there was a poem submitted that was proven to win another contest). And it has to fit the outline!
Keep the poetry within the pg13 boundaries (If your little sister couldn’t read it without suffering permanent trauma, then it isn’t allowed)
Post your entry here as well as sending me a copy via PM. If you make any alterations to your poem, send me the revised entry and I will accept it provided the contest has not ended. Entry might be missed if you don't pm them to me
Do not flame, degrade, or talk rudely of another contestants entry.
On occasion I might include a required word or a few in the outline that must be in the poem.
Please do not forget to include a title for your poem!Those are the basic rules for the contest. Here is the outline for this specific Contest:Outline:Poem can be no more than 40 lines.

I sleep with an angel nightly,
to catch a glimpse of a man as he,
for he is in my dreams you see,
a love i feel eturnally,
expressed only as dreams can.
I dance with a man daily the same as my dreams you see
for surely as my heart beats he wanders faraway streets.
I slkeep with an angel nightly,
he laughs and jeers and holds me
for that angel is faraway you see,
yet not so far at all.
his voice it rings like a bell
the only sense untouched is smell.
eturnally i shall avow
that i love the angel in my dreams.
E.W.

Cold fingers dance across my skin
Leaving trails of fire in their path.
Gently whispering his apologies.
Asking me to forgive his wrath.
Kisses placed lightly across my skin.
Kissing every bruise, every scratch.
Professing his undying love.
However there is a catch.
Tempers will rise.
Along with his fists.
Raining down on me like a storm.
Just another scar to add to the list.
Apologies will follow.
Along with tears.
I’ll forgive him again.
Like I have all these years.
