Poetry Contests.

Thansk Destiny, I wish the same for everyone! ^^
THough I don't think i'll win either, just wanted to say whoever wins it better be happy! XD

 

if i do another poem does it count in the competition? oh well i'll post another anyway i like writing poetry and this one is actually how i feel about someone but i'm just not ready tosay anything yet

already taken
you make me feel warm inside whenever i see you even the dullest grey becomes bright and beautifull but when you turn away all colour fades
knowing your taken makes me upset especially when people tease me about being in love with you when they have no idea what is going through my head
i love you i really do i become overcomed with happiness as i think about about me and you together forever but i suppose its one of those don't touch what you can't afford things
i don't care who you love you'll never change my mind you can easily blow me away with your good looks alone without anything else​

 

IMO you can enter only one poem in the competition, that way everyone has the same playing field.

 

ok im good with that as i already said i don't care about winning

 

Helo, umm, I am a knew poet, this is actully one of my semi-new poems that I hve written, and I was told to put it on the contest! Well here it is and I hope you like it! its called Hidden Love. BTW, alot of things that I talk about is things that pertain to people that happens in real life... so enjoy!

"Hidden Love"​

I want to tell you my feelings,
I guess I'm just too scared
Afraid of what you'll think
And say when I'm not there.

My love for you must stay hidden,
Behind the barred cage of my heart
Our friendship is just too important
My feelings can't be smart

The destruction of my love,
My heart is a battlefield
To tell, or not to tell
My feelings have got to yeild

Since we were born,
For, all these long years
I know what you could say to me
My eyes would swell with tears

I want to tell you how I feel
But what if you dont feel the same?
This deciscion bouncing back and forth
Its just like some child's game

My hidden love is killing me
Its like a gun is ravaging inside my heart
I start to gag, a feeling I can't shake
Then the pain begins to start

So I just let go, of all I feel
In my heart grows a kink
I want you to like me
But i'm just too afraid of what you think.....

 

Very good, but you made one spelling error

in section 5, line 2, you spelled "Don't" incorrectly, you spelled dont, when it should be don't.
But except that you did a good job!!:)

 

Cool! I'll give it a shot hmm lets see.



Many Times


I have lied many times.
But deep down inside I loved.
Through my heart I am not a bad guy.
Put your hands in mines and let us become one.


I have hurt you many times.
You cry every night alone.
Through my heart I am not an abuser.
Put your face to me and let me give you a kiss of dreams.


I have cheated on you many times.
You never notice it, but I did.
Throught my heart I am not leaver.
Put your arms around me and let this be destiny.

I have cried many times.
You always noticed and tried to help me.
I push you away until I realized.
You loved me and will always be there for me.


I have smiled many times.
You make me laugh at times like this.
Through my heart your a blast.
Press your lips against mines and be with me.
All the time.

Many times we have trouble.
We'll try to solve it like a puzzle.
So give me chance just one more time.
Until I die, I'll always remember, you'll be mine.

All these words I say.
Is a promise to you.
I will never ever.
Hurt you again.

 

Okay, I'll give it a shot. This is sorta a poem/song I'm working on, and I think it sucks. BTW, it requires a boy and girl to sing it.

Fairytale

That girl in the back of the class
Is me,
What's she thinkin' about?
You'll see
When she looks at him, looks at him now
That boy who's lookin' back
Is he
The one she wants to ask
To be
The boy of her, boy of her dreams?

Why can't everything
Be like a fairytale?
I'll be the queen, and you, the king
Our lives would turn out so well
Yeah

She's sad, a princess in blue
And she's trapped in her castle of doom,
And she asks
"Will that prince ever save me, ever save me now?"
He loves the girl stuck in the castle
And he's fought over a thousand battles,
He's gone to save her
Nothing's gonna bring him, bring him down

Why can't everything
Be like a fairytale?
I'll be the queen, and you, the king
Our lives would turn out so well
If he can't save me, then who will?
If she can't amaze me, then who will?
I'll search the world until I find you, baby

Place my lips upon his,
Never felt quite like this
I don't wanna let this moment go
So, now you know
Fairytales are possible

Why can't everything
Be like a fairytale?
I'll be the queen, and you, the king
Our lives would turn out so well
If he can't save me, then who will?
If she can't amaze me, then who will?
I'll search the world until I find you, baby

I see his smiling face
This is the perfect place
Just wait,
And you'll see sparks, see sparks fly

 

Only a few more hours folks!! If you are going to submit, do it NOW!!!

 

Deadline is now passed (:

All those who entered I wish you luck and the results will be announced within the next few days.

Poetry Contest: February 2008

The Winner of January's competition is Spike with this entry


ALL I WANT TO SAY (BUT MY MOUTH'S HOLDING IT IN)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was something I wanted to say
But my words aren't very clear
I hope by the end of the day
You could find all this sincere

You make me feel like a cloud
Light, breezy and carefree
And I'd like to say out loud
You're all that is to me

I'd like for us to go on a date
If you'd give me the chance
Maybe for a drive around the estate
Or maybe to the Summer dance

I guess what I'm trying to say
is that I think you're really cool
and if you're willing to, someday....
.....the hell with this. I love you.


All the judges agreed that the Flow was beautiful, nice rhythm and awesome content. Well done Spike you did a great job =)

travelling distance

i have travelled far i have travelled wide
i've seen the world and i've seen the heavens
i've been by plane and train i've been by taxi and bus
on foot or on boat i've seen lots of things justask me whats beneath the oceans
ask me what humans have not discovered in the world for i know i have proof
but yet there is one thing i am longing to see one thing that i would kill to see
i would like to see your face again your eyes your face your smile your hair your body
i'd give up everything i own just to not see stupid photo's of you but i want to see you in person
to remind you even though i've travelled the world alone i still love you with all my heart​

 

Mine:

Material Travel​

Whether running or walking
Swiming, driving or stalking
We alway seem to be travelling
And while we do, our minds unravelling
Appointments must be kept.​

We, however, never stop,
To think about why we must shop,
And buy the things that are "must-have",
Is it because we are all a slave,
Or is there something we can't exept.​

So when on a bus we chance to see,
A flock of birds up in a tree,
We should be thinking "ahhh I wish I could fly"
Rather than "my hair is so dry,
My stylist is so inept".​

And whenever we are on a train,
We must always try to obstain,
From thinking of material thoughts,
At a speedy rate of naughts,
And think instead of where wrong we stepped.​

And finally when on a boat,
And you begin to think, to gloat,
About your brand new supercar,
Please remember where you are,
Is this the reason you were yclept?​

​

NB: For those who don't know yclept means named or called.

I was going for the same feel as the Lady of Shalott but obviously not as long ^_^.

 

Congratulations Spike!:D*applause* I like your poem and surely you should be proud:)





Onto this is my poem. Still I study on how to be a great poet like Robert Frost.








New sight.



When I travel I see.
I see a whole new world in front of me.
The cities the countries.
It's all amazing...to me.

When I travel I hear.
I learn new languages that I never knew.
But now is my chance to try.


Traveling everywhere has a different sight.
It's amazing how to see what's in sight.
The food, the people...everything is lovely.

What I've learn through my experience of travel is...
When you travel there are new faces, places and experiences.
I'll put it all in my album and keep the memory.
For when next time I travel...


There will be a new sight for me.

 

i've already lost this cotest the other two poems are sooooo good

 

Don't lose hope, you can always get better, it's not as if you con only enter 1 contest. Look at the AMV makers. They enter AMVs every week hoping to get in the top 5. They never do the first time but as they learn they get better and do.
