Re: Poetry Contest by macalurs(m): 12:35am On Nov 10, 2006 |
MIDNIGHT When roses shed pearl-like tear drops And the moon instructs the bat it's dart And the quantized snores of croaking frogs Keeps the toddler afear the dark; When cheetahs hide their young in rocks And wolves howl prayers at the moon And starving snakes opt chewing dock That grows around man's ancient tombs: I'm awake, the world's asleep. |

[center]'And the Contest Begins[/center] [center]The very fearless lead the lines, On horses in front of their destiny, Trampling on humans like swines, Those who run after their destiny. The contest shouldn't be about that struggle, A battlefield for some struggling creative warlords, It should be a fluid war, An enigmatic display like the fatality of Arabian swords. A mercenary christened Franc, An imaginative poetic painter with lots of flair, The numeral uno among your rank, A genius with the artistic sight of a seer. These really aren't lines, My fatal introduction with rhymes, a Samurai pulling off his mask, An honourable way to victory as you slum and bask. Ain't gonna strike with your back turned champ, I let you see the face before the stamp, Just hope you don't switch camp, Cos you're in for the tramp. [/center] |

The hunt |
Re: Poetry Contest by mukina2: 1:57pm On Nov 10, 2006 |
sorry for offtopic o i'll put up a poem later my king |
Re: Poetry Contest by Genial(m): 1:59pm On Nov 10, 2006 |
Er, where's the judge? Nilla? Somegirl? |
Re: Poetry Contest by franc1982(m): 2:35pm On Nov 10, 2006 |
You are trying to be good, So don't go making noise, We're on recess and it'll soon be good, Till then, play by the rules. |
Re: Poetry Contest by franc1982(m): 2:58pm On Nov 10, 2006 |
@ somegurl hey sis, u sound real good and creative. u belong here and no where else. i love piece from experience, and it's what u do best. keep it up. where is ChiluvGod? just found out she's a good critic, exactly what we need here. come back in, we need u here real bad. |
Re: Poetry Contest by nilla(f): 3:26pm On Nov 10, 2006 |
franc, macalurs, and Genial you have all really outdone yourselves. now your all confusing me cos i dont know who to choose as the best. macalurs, simple, but straight to the point. franc, nice introduction, i see you've already made youself numero uno Genial, I love the way you play with words. The flow of your poem is unique to you. I can now see your poem without your name and know its you. For me the winner out of "midnight", "and the contest begins" and "the hunt" is The hunt but the others are still very good. ok guys come up with some more, while i continue to think of my poem |
Re: Poetry Contest by Genial(m): 3:48pm On Nov 10, 2006 |
Thanks Nilla. I love the way you make your point. Somegirl? ChiluvGod? |
Re: Poetry Contest by nilla(f): 4:00pm On Nov 10, 2006 |
Genial: sure. ok come up with more . I didnt really pay attention to poems or fancy them, until i stumbled on this thread. now i can't get enough of good poems. |
Re: Poetry Contest by somegirl(f): 6:09pm On Nov 10, 2006 |
No judge am I, each poem's great in its own way. Franc1982, thanks. I took your compliment as a justification to write a poem for myself. Probably, when a girl is good with words herself, guys are to shy to write her love poems. So I just wrote one for myself! |
Re: Poetry Contest by macalurs(m): 6:40pm On Nov 10, 2006 |
Genial boo, welcome to franks thread But hey I'll give you that one. I liked it. The new challenge for me is writting about mundane topics, and cutting out all the enigma for now. Frank's really pissed, he's cranked two poems for "champ" already. . . . I'm in for some gore. |
Re: Poetry Contest by nilla(f): 7:23pm On Nov 10, 2006 |
macalurs: yup it was nice. the competition is getting tighter. |
Re: Poetry Contest by Genial(m): 10:04pm On Nov 10, 2006 |
macalurs: Thanks Macalurs. Nilla |
Re: Poetry Contest by nilla(f): 10:20pm On Nov 10, 2006 |
Genial: i 'm at loss for words. i dont know what to say. i need to recover. |
Re: Poetry Contest by nilla(f): 10:21pm On Nov 10, 2006 |
while i think of what to say. THANKSSSSSSSSS. thats hoping its not some other nilla |
Re: Poetry Contest by Genial(m): 10:29pm On Nov 10, 2006 |
I don't know another Nilla, Nilla. My pleasure. Waiting to hear what you have to say, judge. |
