POETRY CONTEST!!!!!!!!

Chatterbox: Inkwell

POETRY CONTEST!!!!!!!!

POETRY CONTEST!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

Ok, rules: 

No criticizing other works.

I reccomend you do rhyming petry, because I really dislike freeverse poetry.

Has to be at least two verses long (except haikus).

 

Have fun! Random poem:

 

White sun rising in the east

The ground the color of mottled yeast

The sand whistling through my hair

The sun unrelenting in a hot, hard stare

 


Can anyone win this survival race?

Water, water, in front of me, but not a drop to drink

Ah, what a mirage can do to my brain, to make me stop and think.......... 

 

I'm drowning, drowning, with no water to drink

In the midst of the mirage, my bloodshot eyes blink

It's gone, it's gone, gone with the wind

What have I done to deserve this sin?

 

My father, my mother, they're waiting for me

Beyond the pond, beyond the trees

In paradise, my true home,

At last I'll rest my tired bones

 

I walk with them, and hand in hand,

We walk away from hard, hot sand,

The desert, a thoughtless, selfish place.........

And no I'll have no weary back to bend,

Well, that is how this story ends..........

 

(Tell me if you like it!)

Didn't we all agree on no more deadlines? I would've entered a poem, but I wasn't able to use my computer before. I don't like this idea of "you have to enter this by such-and-such date". It really excludes others. :(

 

You can still submit a poem. A date was just set for choosing winners, because otherwise they never would be announced.

Yes, I was never good at poetry.

 

I'm not at all good,

I'm hiding in my hood,

cause my poetry stinks,

like a couple of minks.

I know Winter won,

As I'm not number one,

in poetry moetry doetry.

so congrats to all,

I'm gonna go to the mall,

to grab some dall,

whatever that is.

 

tut tut to me,

I shouldn't be seen,

and I feel green,

cause I'm horrid.

I'm gonna say Morrid,

and I'm gonna say Zorrid,

and Orrid, and Yorrid, and Porrid,

as they all rhyme with Horrid. 

But that doesn't really matter,

As I'm going to Hatter's,

for a cup of tea,

and to say "wee wee!",

like I'm French.

Goodbye to all,

I am really gall,

but does gall mean anything,

everything, or nothing at all?

 

I know I said goodbye two times,

and I really should be going, 

But does it really matter,

that I'm going to the mall,

or going to hatter's,

or not going at all?

I'm sorry, I can't write rhyming poetry that well, so I'm just going to write free-verse.

I

      I am 

I am a dreamer

I am a dreamer and imaginer

   I make peace and hope in the world 

I hear the bird's song floating on the breeze

   I see the colors of the sky and the beauty of the sunset

   I want everyone to notice what I notice, because the world would be a better place.

 

      I

    I am 

I am fearful and fragile, but brave all the same 

  I use my imagination to show the best of me 

I feel sad when the world spins around

and time wisks away

I touch a flower and feel its warmth on my fingertips

    I worry that someday, hidden magic will unleash itself into the world. 

 

   I wonder 

I wonder why I came into this world, in this body

     I am small and delicate

       I understand what the wind and waves say just before a storm 

I say what seems best, no matter what

I dream that someday, earth will be a better place to live 

I try to express my feelings through my words

         I hope I am not the only person who notices the stars

For the stars are beautiful.

 

Just so you know, that was one poem.
