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!

Hopefully I didn't completely butcher my Spanish in here heh
-Translate WATER
Staring in
El muy bonito Azul
The ocean and
Your eyes
I always dive right in
Your laughter drowns me
Yet I'm buoyed by your smile
When I'm in your
Presence
Everything feels so
Perfecto
I'm liquid around you
Going with your flow
Is that wrong? It's just
It's hard to stay afloat
When you're gone
You are
My life source, my more than a
Bueno amigo
I see you holding back
Can't you just try and
Take a chance
Por favor?
Come swim with me in
El aqua de amor

I wrote a narrative poem~
Out of eternity came forth Aqua,
The beautiful water goddess.
She looked over the Earth along with
The other deities, with a loving care
For the humans, the inhabitants of Earth.
In those days, Earth was drying up
From the heat of the sun, and the people
Begged Aqua to draw forth water upon the land.
She agreed, flowing water from her fingertips
And onto the Earth, creating lakes and streams,
Of freshwater for the humans to drink,
As well as filling oceans to make homes for
Marine animals, for the humans to admire
Or to take as food if they so wished.
The humans began to thrive in the land,
Spreading to every corner of the Earth.
They began to industrialize, turning
The sky gray with smoke, the land
Dry and poisonous, and waters polluted.
The other deities were angry, understandably so,
Yet they could not do anything, for they
Loved the humans too much to discipline them.
Aqua knew that it was up to her—otherwise,
The humans would never change if they
Were never told that they had to.
So she called up her friend Terres, who ruled
Over the land, and Terres shook the Earth
With their grand might—creating an earthquake.
Aqua then caused ocean waters to rise up,
Crashing them into the humans’ civilizations—
A tsunami—flooding their dwellings.
Soon the humans came and asked the deities
To never again flood their homes—
Knowing that a future situation of discipline
Could arise, Aqua came up with a promise—
As long as the humans did not cause destruction
Upon the Earth, the deities would leave them
In peace for them to go on with their lives—
And although the humans would forget
From time to time, a little discipline,
Aqua knew, would cause the humans to
Remember again their promise.

This is a short one, but I'm quite proud of it!
