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!

Aw, thanks. Exclamation points are great, btw! XD
Okay, anyway, I forgot to post the deadline. So I think January 1 will be the deadline for the new contest. If anyone isn't done or we ave only a few submissions, (or if I forget) I will extend the deadline. But please try to get your submissions in before the deadline if you possibly can. I know this season is a very busy time of year, so I'm going to say January 1 is a loosely planned judging day.
Carry on!

Cold
Cold eyes
Cold face
Cold heart
Cold soul
Towards me
Warm eyes
Warm face
Warm heart
towards them
If you are capable of warmness
To everyone,
Why are you cold
To me?

Ice Crystal
Ice crystal
Frozen thar
Ice crystal
On the car
Why
Do we have to scrape
Why
Can't we just escape
Gonna be late
A few minutes late
Gonna be late
You made us wait
You can be pretty
Only sometimes
You can be pretty
But now, you cause whines

Good job, Leeli! I'll post one if I get a chance.

Thamk you! I'd love it if you entered one. :)

So, tomorrow was going to be the judging date, but since there are only two poems in as of yet, if we don't get any more by tomorrow, I will be extending the deadline until the fifth of January.

Okay, so I know this is bad, but can you extend it more? I just got back into school and have been super busy, so I haven't had time. If you don't want to, that's fine, but I get the feeling that other people are probably busy too.
(January 5, 2018 - 8:06 pm)
Sure, I'll extend it an extra week. So judging will now be on the twelfth.

Hi, so I haven't written any poetry in a while and I'm not entirely happy with this (maybe it's just the somewhat-rhymes, I'm not used to thinking about rhyming...), but I don't want this thread to die (and if anyone feels like giving some helpful critique that'd be nice too) so here ya go:
Winter.
White on black on grey on white
your breath so cold it freezes sound
silently the darkness steals
our laughter, songs, our warmth and green
Blind, we wait and hope for light
and ev'ry morn we think of spring
buried deep, asleep, unheard
forgotten, like the birds that fled
'Cross a frozen waste of night
the wind blows powder-snow like dust
forming strange and shifting shapes
and we see naught but shadow-flakes
High above, the sky grows bright
the clouds retreat and ice reflects
summer colours, ribbon ghosts
they snap across the starry dark
White on blue on black on white
a crow cries out for sun and mate
winter cracks and sunlight steals
up from its prison 'neath the frost
Thaw.

Thanks for posting! I like the 'white on blue on black on white', and your use of interesting words. And the last word being separate. And the transition from winter to spring. And, well, I mean to say I like it. My poems are far worse. :)
