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!

Hi, sorry it took me so long. Such spindiddly writing from everyone! You all are probably going to be famous writers when you grow up. Or even before then. Drumroll, please! Here's the judging, (finally):
Honorable mention: Ayles
Ayles, your poem is fantastic! The description is perfect. I love how each line is going back and forth for each person involved. First, it’s the other person, then it’s the narrator, then back again. Also the word choices were phenomenal. “Icy glare”, “my heart starts to twist”? Absolutely beautiful. Keep it up!
3rd: peppermint
I adore the way you say all these different descriptions for fear, then at the end, there’s the lines “bravery is recognizing my struggles, feeling the fear, and persevering anyways.” which is very true, and such a great message. Your poem describes fear perfectly. Beautiful work!
2nd: Peri
I love how there’s two sides to the poem. How the eyes are beautiful and unique, but also frightening. Sort of in the first half, there’s order and structure, but the second tears it down so that all that’s left are ruins. I think it describes how one character feels for another in such a way that it feels real and believable. And the last line (“But all the cure’s ever been is a little taste of the disease.”) is gorgeous. I can’t describe it. It feels like there’s a war going on between the two halves of the poem. It’s awesome.
1st: Jaybells
I love how you used the concept of fear as being stuck in a room and bravery when you open the door. Your word choices are spectacular. Also, it rhymes, which adds extra flair. The last line, “Not after what happened before” leaves me wanting for more. Like, what happened before? I love how you described the feeling of fear in such a beautiful, unique way. Spindiddly writing.

Thanks, Rainbow! I cannot take credit for that last line, however, because it's a reference to Moon Knight, a show I like. I should have been more specific about that--sorry!

Oh my gosh! I never thought my poem would ever get a mention! Thanks for making this thread awesome!
