    Oho, this one is a day early guys. I haven't mixed up my calender, I just need to get this done out of the way before I leave for a month.

    There was an inviting range of entries submitted last month as the topic proved popular. Good work guys! However, there can only be one winner, and the title goes to Plums Vi Britannia with his poem, seen below.

    The poem sought an alternative to the usual rhythms used and whilst reading it the flow of words came easily. Overall it just struck me as a beautiful piece with a great variety of vocabulary; not as colorful as other entries but suitable for the topic at hand. Well done Plums!

    This month's theme is perhaps a little different from the usual. Poems submitted must be in the form of a haiku. For those of you unaware of what a haiku is, your poem may have any number of stanzas, but each stanza must be three lines long, with each line respectively having five, seven, and five syllables within it. Definition Here.

    Closing date is the end of this month. Good luck everyone! <3

    I just added more to this one, so that I could show more of what I meant by it

    Oh the end is near
    and I am in tears for you
    for you, Sora, for you

    We have done it all
    all that we could do is done
    the end is near now

    When you died for me
    I was heartbroken for you
    I was heartbroken

    Now I know, we know
    that we will be together
    now that I shall die

    Oh at my last breath
    when I see your face comming
    for me finaly

    And we will rejoice
    because we are together
    at last, forevermore​

    It is really hard
    To fit a good poem in
    This amount of space.

    A sweet dream
    I sit back and laugh
    Looking to the shining stars
    I can't help but laugh

    Admiring the sky
    A silent giggle escapes.
    How can you not see?

    Look closer there's more
    Everything's written there
    It's all in the stars

    Let me help you see
    Look at those stars there, you see?
    I need your open eyes

    You see more than stars
    You finally see the world
    The way it should be

    Now close your eyes tight
    Catch your dream remember
    Always this night.

    Good night, morning's here.
    I may be gone but always
    I will be with you.

    YAAAAAAAAS I love this topic, haiku is about the only form of poetry I can do ^_^.

    The summer wind blows,
    Shimmering the scarlet rose,
    Perfume to the nose.

    ... I did not intend that to rhyme as well ^_^;.

    The Sky

    The sky has become
    darker than black, I've never
    seen this before now.

    What is falling down
    from the unforgiving sky
    that's holding us down?

    Is it that the sky
    is angry with us, for the
    torture we gave her?

    Or is she crying,
    To save our very souls
    from our destruction?​
