Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

Poetry Contest

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!

back to the Pudding's Place

I really do not know if this is too cryptic but I wanted to submit something so there you go.

~~~

I was lost, a little boat cast adrift on the wild sea,

tossed from wave to wave among angry storms,

fighting the cold winds and the spray tossed at me -

and then

I heard your voice in the wind,

and felt your kiss in the spray,

and I looked into your eyes and they were my North Star -

 

and I'd give anything to go back to the days when I was lost,

when I didn't know which direction I was headed,

or where my North Star shone,

when the universe hadn't given me a place -

because at least then there was no star laughing,

laughing in my face.
