I will edit that into the main post now.

Also, here is my entry. Not my best work but I want to see how this will do. It's a plain ol' sonnet.

Remember, I am not judging nor hosting this week.

Defiance

Lying in this smoking grace,
It's fun just to see the look on your face,
I can't say why but this is a fun game,
One which will grant me fame.

Nothing you say can take this away,
I'm sorry darling you've lost your chance,
your defiance was the end of our romance.
one which raised me above you.

Forgiveness is lost for you now,
I'm happy to see you follow the crowd,
Individuality sets me apart from others insanity,
The way your heart melts, makes you just like everyone else.

Let's make this a night to remember, Cast others away,
Because after this our love will never last another day.

I suppose I have an entry. It's a few tankas strung together with a repeating formation.
If I think of a title I will let you know, but right now it remains nameless.

My heart was once whole.
Who knew words could hurt so much?
Like a dagger's strike,
yet your words left deeper wounds.
I was cast aside, alone…

You struck so quickly.
Were you always this heartless?
Now I understand,
this was your plan all along.
You wanted my heart, broken…

We still aren't the same.
You truly thought this would work?
I am stronger now,
and your intentions have failed.
I still have my heart, intact…

This pain cannot hide.
Is it obvious I lied?
Of course I have failed,
I didn't believe myself.
I always loved you, still do…

My heart is no more.
Where will your plans take you now?
To another sap,
who you will "love" and then leave.
If only I knew, sooner…
 
Omega

The hour before the world wakes
and the birds start singing
The sky is red.
(and in an empty room my alarm clock is ringing)

I press my nose onto wet park bench and pretend
I was the only one to survive
I play ghost news-reporter and ask,
How does it feel to be the last man alive?

Bored Poem​
It can't possibly be this hard, to think of something to write.
As lines grow before me, I erase what I've typed.
They seem to shrink and grow again as they come to mind,
then disappear and leave me, with just a pitiful line.
It's hard to write without much thought, idea or persuasion,
only a simple verse to start on and no strict foundation.
One last attempt at what is a whatever;
nothing much, just a boredom buster.
One last verse to this pathetic poem,
only four more lines to go,
and I'll be finished
this thought will diminish
and I can get on with this day.
Thanks!​
 
SUPERHEROES

There are many superheroes in my life,
That gave me strength and hope.
They never leave me alone,
Especially when I need shoulder to lean
on.

I really love them all,
Because they show me how much they
care.
They don't want to see me crying,
Because it makes them feel like dying.

For me, they can climb a thousand
walls,
Compared to Spiderman.
They can fly higher than Superman,
Or even stronger than the all-known
Batman.

All of the superheroes in me life,
Are kind and lovable.
They are always there guiding me,
And loving me most of all.

Superheroes are hard to find,
Because they only show up sometimes.
But I'm thankful 'coz I'm lucky,
For having them in my life.

I don't want to lose them
'Coz they're a big part of me.
So that I am always praying,
That God will never take them away.

Like Peter Pan, superheroes are only
fantasy,
Found in Neverland.
But for me there are some superheroes,
Living in our native land.

=P

already made thread of this, so I wanna enter this stuff.
 
Okay, all the other poems have been added to the main post, good luck to all you guys who have entered so far this week!
 
I'd like to add mine please? 8D
Paint the stream

As the wind softly brushes on my clothes
I'm reminded of how the water flows
So gently rushing down the stream
Each step I get closer to you it feels like a dream​


Moving slowly apart again
Each step away I feel this great pain
So many colours for how long will they hold
Some hiding away, others standing out bold​


So many things and so little time
Right now I'm just waiting for a sign
Everything around me makes me think of you
There's only one thing I can say now and that's; I love you.​
 
Okay, Edam your poem has been added to the main post.
This weeks competition ends on Saturday night, so if you plan on entering it will need to be before then.
Silver Smeargle Splatter, is this weeks only judge as I am exempt due to entering this week.
 
Having two judges is better because it's hard to decide. Anyway, this week's winner is...is...IS...Spearow's Omega. :D

Omega

The hour before the world wakes
and the birds start singing
The sky is red.
(and in an empty room my alarm clock is ringing)

I press my nose onto wet park bench and pretend
I was the only one to survive
I play ghost news-reporter and ask,
How does it feel to be the last man alive?

Congratulations to Spearow, and a big thanks to everyone else who entered. I hope to see more from you! Next week, Abnegation will be back on the judging panel, and Spearow will also be a judge. As of right now, we haven't decided a theme, so pop in soon and it should be up.
 
congrats Spearow! good judging SSS!
one question, for the entries, do we have to make them up from scratch, or can we submit one of them that's already on here,that's ours?
 
Just wondering what made you choose that entry as the winner, you didn't really explain it...

Once the poem is yours & it fits the theme (will be announced tomorrow) it doesn't matter.
 
This weeks theme: Love

Love, may be family, friendships, partners, whatever the case may be. Love in all meanings.

You may enter. This weeks competition ends on the 4th of October if I'm not mistaken.
 
Hm... love, I can think of something for this(but probably not ever write it.) I guess I will try.
 
Oh snapz?
I can haz entry?
Sliiiick~

Broken Hearts and Shades
I sit down in the cooling shade
Sitting next to me is you
In a little imaginary world of our own
Sitting there doing nothing just us two

I look at you and how your hair blows in the wind
My eyes close as I can't believe we are here
And I know we'll have to go
And on my face lies a tear

Why can't they see I love you so much?
They'll split us apart and take our hearts away
I want to protest I know it's not right
As we break apart as I don't know what to say
Only one sentence breaks out from my lips
As I give you my last kiss.

I love you so,
And I'll never let you go.
 
Even though I did pick the theme this week with S3 I might enter if that's okay?
I want to write a sestina, something which is a challenge for me, but I will try it no less.
S3 & possibly Spearow will judge.
