Poem Of The Week

[Abnegation]

No no it's no problem.
Well, I'll havae to end the competition now as I've got little time left on the net.
I will annouce the winner tomorrow. Good luck everyone.

 

[Abnegation]

I'm sure Asty wont mind if I double post here but I shall announce the winner!

I've been busy deciding on the winner so without further ado, this week's winning poem is...

Winner!

Jealousy

I'm green
I feel it all over me
but I feel her all over you
Whenever my hands meets yours
I know they've met hers too

I must be so insecure
To think she gets to you
like she gets straight to me
I'm not even sure if I'm right
This could all be in my mind

But your eyes follow her
when she walks across the room
and I know that I'm green
Not like the leaves on the trees
I'm far from sweet I'm sour

When she's talking to you
Do you see straight through her
and see me?
Or when I'm talking to you
Do you see straight through me
and see her?

Maybe we're too different
You're the free spirit
and I'm the rusty cage
I want to keep you locked up
Where you just want to fly

Maybe I should let you
If you're not happy with me
But selfishly I want you to stay
So I'll let myself be this way
For as long as you don't mind

By Ineffable.

Closing Notes

Sorry this week may have seemed like somewhat of a rush but all the hosts seemed to be busy, including myself xD

So, Ineffable will join the judging team this week and choose the new theme.
Seeing as in a I was late today, next week's competition will begin tomorrow.
I will post the details then.
Well done to all contestants! A great week of entries once again!
​

 

[Alexithymia~]

Thanks! ;3

Uhh, well I've decided this weeks theme should be about 'Imagination'.
You use it every day so it should be interesting. [/noideawhattosay]

 

[Abnegation]

Okay
Week 7
Theme: Imagination
This week ends, 28th of October.
So little over a week.
Good luck everyone!

Games of the mind

I can hear you whisper my name
I can't see you anywhere
I shout out and realise it's you whose to blame

I reach out into thin air
Trying to hold onto you
But you aren't there

I remember all the good times and smile
But that time has gone
You're now twisted and vile

I grab my head in frustration
I twist turn and shout as my thoughts give way
As you envelop the whole of my imagination

 

[Abnegation]

How imagination, can lead to uneeded procrastination.

Broken.


Broken, now, I know I've gone to far,
Sinking, now I know why this has led to despair,
Feeling undone, what have I become?
I feel my mind twisting, my thoughts are racing.

My memory has shaped mountains into imagination,
My thoughts had dried out seas of theories,
What once was or going to be, is now surreal,
I feel it tearing at my bone, guilt, cannot be undone.

Getting lost in thought, has caused the discord of my relationships,
Imagining what this could unviel, I've lost your life,
I no longer breath air, all I know is smoke,
Smoke from the fire that is guilt and wounds.

I bare these scars because I thought too much,
I broke a promise and now, imagination has broken me.



I need to contact Splatty about judging also XD

 

[Sydian]

Good thing Gavs reminded me. I'm dumb and don't read posts that say it ends tonight! xD

But the subject of imagination getting only two entries? That's a little shocking. Oh well. But guess what? It's time to announce da winna mahn!

Dramatic music, please.

Nothing's here, procrastination...

[Samme!]

This is going to be interesting xD; I suck at poetry... but here it goes:

Winter's Eve
​

With the candles in the window,
The lights strung in the trees,
I still trudge through the snow with it up to my knees.

The chimney puffs out curly swirls,
against the dull gray skies,
warming up their spirits with no need of a guise.

A few crystalline flakes,
drifting lazily to the ground,
urge me to pick up the pace and look towards the sound.

I hear a few ballads,
and the joy in their tone,
making me wish even more that I was back at my home.

The work I've performed,
not always so great,
just increases my desire to not get home so late.


By Samme!

Autumn Blues​

Leaves fall to the ground,
Brown, yellow and red,
The pavements covered in the different colours,
Everywhere i tread​

A tall figure sweeps the leaves,
The leaves stick together,
A bird flying high above.
And then suddenly drops a feather onto the grass.​

Grass and mud are wet,
Claw marks from a badger that had dug there,
Discarded flowers that used to be violet,
Now brown and slowly turning black.​

Autumn can show a change of events,
At old age things can die,
Though new things can be born,
And then Autumn ends with a sigh.​

Toada! Yah that's my poem =3 [shabbeh effort much? =/]

Spoiler:

Made you look XD

 

[txteclipse]

Ah what the heck. I might as well enter. This is a quicky, because I have to get to class, so try not to lash into it too hard.

Life's Litmus

Green
the grass in spring
a newborn's eyes
and candied things

the road to walk begins in green

Umber
the wheat in summer
a sun-kissed tan
on youthful lovers

the soul's flower blooms into umber

Brown
the leaves in autumn
soft nostalgia
and skin like parchment

the spice of age matures into brown

White
winter's bite
the blank of death
and heaven's light

the litmus of life fades into white​

I'm just typing a bit here to help separate it from my sig.

 

[Abnegation]

I've been very busy this week so forgive me.

Though now I shall announce this week's winner.
Without further ado, our winner is...


Txteclipse with thise fine poem entitled "Life's Litmus".
Once again thank you to all participants.

[PokemonQueen]

hey i have a question: can the theme be pokemon?

i'm entering a pokemon poem:
My Piplup and Me
My Piplup and me
We really do enjoy tea
We work together as a team
Please Ivysaur don't use Solar Beam
I love my Piplup
My Piplup loves me
My Piplup and me

If it fits the theme I'll allow, but this doesn't. Sorry.

 

[aurevesque]

Hey, haven't been on in awhile, but this is cutting close again... but...

Glass

The tears slide down the windowpane
The bullet breaks through the steel.
The water reflects on top of metal.
And it some ways it's not real.
Yet there's your reflection
And it's shining through,
The ugly hard, truth,
The seeing of you
It's all together
In a mirror.
Whether you
like it
or not

 

[Logan]

the mantelpiece shines above
the opaque pot only reflects the love
through the window, does light reflect
as I look on what I expect

a rainbow slides through the panes
when it touches eyes above, only action is to feign
then the panes intertwine until black
blocked out and made of flack

as the world moves around
nothing comes through, but bare sound
as the sun arises, outcomes the shining light
something that would give a vapourish fright

I had nothing else to do

 

[Abnegation]

Okay, I couldn't announce the winner with only one entrant so I've waited for a second entrant to come along. It does state in the rules that I wouldn't reward a poem unless it was an oustanding entrant, if there were no other entries. So without further ado, I shall announce our winner.

Potw #9 Winner

Manipulation! With his poem "I had nothing else to do".
