Poetry Contest
Well, we haven't had one of these in a while, have we? Time for a new one, I say! Welcome, resident poets!
The rules are pretty simple. I am the first judge. I will give you a theme, and you must write a poem relating to the theme. Be creative with your interpretations! I will then judge the entries by a set date, and the winner will then be the next judge, and set the next theme. And so on, and so forth.
The first theme will be... *dramatic drumroll*
Stars! Whether you chose to write about the kind of stars you wish on, or the kind that take the stage, I will be eagerly awaiting your sparkly, shiny, beautiful poems. Have them in by... Saturday, March 18. Two weeks. Sound fair?
I hope to see your poems soon!

Falling Out of Love
i cannot catch you when you fall
i cannot right your wrongs
i cannot always be there for you
i cannot live for your songs
this love we share is forbidden
we must never let it show
i cannot be your saviour
it's time you caught yourself, you know
i say these things and many more
and start to walk away
but deep inside my heart i know
i need for you to stay
i need for you to walk beside me
and hum a lovely tune
i need to know you'll catch me when
i fall from upon a bright moon
but my remorse is too little, too late
i find you've already flown
and when i stumble on my fear
i have to keep going on my own
(November 9, 2021 - 2:06 pm)
i. i walk facing the ground, though i don't pay attention to the sidewalk and i stumble
ii. you catch me, and, surprised, i look up into your eyes
iii. i wrench away, keep walking, too embarrased to say something
iv. you keep walking the opposite way, i know because i turn around to watch you
v. why does it hurt that you just keep walking, even though that's what i did too?

Once again could not think of a title? But I like this one, hope you do too!
I feel like I’m being crushed
Trying to hold up my world
Save it from falling apart
(But I can’t do that if I’ve
Fallen apart, can I?)
I guess you kind of
Helped me run away
But now you’re gone,
And I stumbled
And it all caught up to me
(But it was harder,
Because now I had my
Everything gone)
You used to tell me
“Smile, that’s how the night goes away”
But what happens if the sun has gone
And left the poor moon alone in the dark?
(I don’t blame it—maybe the moon
Was always just a cold, useless rock)
Maybe I’m just silly
I went and loved someone
And now I’m stumbling over myself
(Over you)

Stumble
Over the Ridge,
Stumble
Through your day;
Stumble
Into bed, and a couple hours later
Stumble
Out again
