Poem of the Week 5

Fear? Oh boy, fun!! I like writing about dark stuff, even if it's harder in poems. So, can I submit an old poem from this forum or do I have to write a new one?
 
It can be an old one or a new one.
What matter is if it's your poetry and not someone else's.
 
I'm, once again, postponing the entry period.
Two entries is no doubt enough.

Anyone who wants to enter is still welcome to.
 
Spoiler:


I don't know where this really came from. The title is from the My Chemical Romance song. It's supposed to be about a girl's sister getting taken from her. The fires and Gods are metaphorical to her.
 
Your poem qualifies for the theme.
I hope there's still more.
 
The Dangers of Tomorrow

Everyday you ready for bed,
There's always a risk that one must take,
Everyone fears it,
No one is safe from it,
Not even the most religious man, not a bit.

And when you've passed the dark night,
There's another danger, yes that's right!
But you need no fear,
If you are brave, my dear,
Because no-one might even hear.

So through life, this you must remember,
Never ever pull down that lever,
Or one day you'll die,
You'll never taste anymore pie,
And everyone will leave you with a sigh.

xD Made this on the spot. I just though that the theme was good and had some ideas that needs application and wham! I hope I'm not late, though.
 
Your poem is in. And it's not too late.
Until I announce the closing, entries may come in.
 
The entry period is now over!

The judges and I will announce a winner as soon as possible.
Good luck.
 
The judges and I have made our decision.
It was pretty difficult to choose our favorites this week, but have came up with a solution.

For the first time in the Poem of the Week contest's history, it is a tie!
Our two winners are Meerfall's Once Upon A Rhyme and Daydream's What Am I.

congates to you too daydream! I though your peom was good too! :)
 
This week's theme shall be the beautiful thing that is always around us - Nature
Can you write a poem on such natural beauty?
Well, lets find out!

(Go to the first post of this thread for more info)
 
Well, I am quite happy with this weeks topic. If allowed, I'd like to use a poem I ave previously shared here on PC.

Beautiful Ice

The cold icy bed,
Laying in a pool of water.

The mistress struggles for survival,
Struggles to keep her children alive.

A cold-blooded predator in the night,
Stalking and readying for attack.

A swift motion of the beast,
Tearing her blanket in two.

The mistress sinks lower into her bed,
Feeling no shame nor guilt.
 
This is an old poem I wrote long ago for an older potw (with a minor change), but I really want to enter again and my mind is blank right now so here we go!

Waiting On Answers

How lofty are your limbs that tower over me?
How subtle are your tears that fall into the sea?

What secrets do you whisper in your howling breath?
What anger do you hold in your stone covered chest?

Will your waves ever cease to flow?
Will your fields ever cease to grow?

All these questions I ask because I do not know.
All these questions I ponder until you tell me so.
 
Both poems are just close enough to qualify.
And yeah, it's okay to enter a poem you have already posted.
 
Storms Never Ending

Wind through my hair as I drift away,
Current growing stronger, cast to sea astray,
Body rippling through the dark blue wave,
Clouds overhead, keeping from me what I crave,
Sunlight gone for ages, only storms remain,
A boiling anger inside me, nothing left to gain,
Yet the world accepts it, I hope it changes for its own sake,
Ocean takes me under, an embrace I must take
 
Alright!
Three entries seems good. So now it's time for us to pick a winner.
Good luck to everyone! :cer_wink:
