This here is very simple, all you have to do is submit a self-written poem. Since Valentine's Day is approaching, the topic should be either about love, relationships, happiness, friendship, or special occasions. The poem does not need to be of any specific length, it just has to be written by you.


You must submit your poem by the 20th of February if you want to be included in the contest.

The winner will be announced the last day of the month when the prices will be given out.

The winner will receive 5000 gold, but everyone that submits a poem will receive 500 gold.

Everyone will chose the winner with a poll that I will make after all the entries have been made.

February, a season cold.
They gather in pairs, for traditions old.
Lovers and losers, lost in the snow covered malls,
and hearts are bought with merchandise of pink and red.
I sit alone, waiting on no call,
for I need not love or Valentines dread.
I've outgrown such things I've grown old.
It's February, and my soul is cold.

The Ugly Wool

When I saw you, I had butterflies,
When our hands touched, my whole body shivered,
When we kissed, I tasted pure heaven,

When we made love that first time we burned like flames upon a candle,
The world stood still and time seemed as if to revolve around us,
I laid my head on your chest and I could hear your heart pounding,
I could lie like that forever,

I would've climbed the highest mountain, swan the deepest sea for you,
Then you left, gone as if you had never been there.
My heart ached for you, the world lost its colour,
We had been so happy?

When I read how effortlessly you tried to express how "sorry" you were in that meaningless letter, the words taunted me, laughing at my despair,
I would have given you my love, my soul, my all, but you didnt care,
You had after all gotten the One Thing you wanted.

c1lyfe #1

Remember that day?
You and me?
Me and you?
Sitting there in the school yard?
Just hanging out?

Remember that week?
The first week of school?
Just us. Together.
You took me around.
Showed me the ropes.

Remember that year?
Our second year in High School?
You found out I loved you.
I was madly in love with you.
You knew.
I told you.

Remember that night?
That very special night.
You and me.
Me and you.
We stood there.
The moon shining down.
And we kissed.

Remember that moment?
That special moment we shared?
The one that will never be again?
You and me.
Me and you.
Maybe someday...
I love you

c1lyfe #2

As one thing ends, another begins.
You never know how valueable time is
until it's all gone.
How you don't realize how much you enjoy
the moment... til it's over.
You say three words that mean the world to one
person and nothing to the next.
Only you decide whether you mean them
and if so... how much?
Three little words.
It's all it takes to make a bad day good
or vice-versa.
Never take those words for granted.
It will come back and bite you in the a**.
Three little words... I love you.

Wish_on_a_Cloud

My cat
long tail
loud wail
furry paws
sharp claws
cute face
fast pace
sound sleeper
night creeper
sleek back
hide in a sack
bird for supper
mouse for tea

this is my cat is your's like that?

Me 4laugh

The first time I saw you,
My cheeks turned red,
My heart pounded,
And my body shacked.

We lived many things together,
We passed through thick and thin,
I can't believe we don't talk anymore,
This must be some kind of sin.

I thought I missed you,
But now I know,
That I can't live,
Without your love.

The sun is bright,
The sky is clear,
This makes me wonder,
Why aren't you here?

Hey even if you suck at poem writing you should still try it. Trust me I'm horrible at it and I'm going to TRY to create one just to encourage others. Come on, you can at least write a haiku or a limerick. Those are pretty easy to make.

Oh and I thought about doing that but I don't think it would actually fit in the main forum, but I did put a note on the February newsletter with a link to this page.

i wrote this ages ago, it is a bit jumbled and its more about a lost first love than virginity whee

When I saw you, I had butterflies,
When our hands touched, my whole body shivered,
When we kissed, I tasted pure heaven,

When we made love that first time we burned like flames upon a candle,
The world stood still and time seemed as if to revolve around us,
I laid my head on your chest and I could hear your heart pounding,

lol i think everything about me is cold razz it like friggin' -40deg celcius here, but i don't really believe som of this soul stuff anyway. i see it as one of these symbols, similar to virginity it has value to me, but a symbol cant be cold or hot just strong or weak. anyway thats a differnt rant.

It starts hot then gets cold, it's sadly common how infatuation leads to unmeasurable disappointment and disspare.

I really like this even if its a horrible thing for it to happen to anyone, unfortunately I know that it has happened to many.


p.s. This is my old account which I thought I had erased but I hadn't. My normal account got banned and I'm trying to get it reactivated.

I wrote this like two years ago and I just found it. I'm sorry that I didn't use a great vocabulary but when I write poems, I normally have to use the most basic words. And lets just say that I'm not the best poem writer. (I stink at it) biggrin



The first time I saw you,
My cheeks turned red,
My heart pounded,
And my body shacked.

We lived many things together,
We passed through thick and thin,
I can't believe we don't talk anymore,
This must be some kind of sin.

I thought I missed you,
But now I know,
That I can't live,
