I don't know why, but I suddenly felt like reading a lot of poetry, and writing some myself. Also, I have yet to make a contest this calender AND school year, so I decided to make a poetry contest.

Spontaneous Poetry Contest Rules:
-You may write up to three pieces of poetry and enter them all, prefferably all together.
-The poetry must have titles. Yes, titles, they're not that foreign.
-We will all vote for our favorite pieces at the end of it, and, well... I haven't picked an end date yet, so this could very well go on for a while if I can't decide.
-No copying profesional works! I WILL be googling all of your titles, so if they show up as actual poems, I will have PMs to send and poems to probably disqualify...
-No, that rule above doesn't mean YOU as a USER are disqualified, just that your poetry is.
-If you participate, you must spread the word through Geustbook to two other people. Doesn't matter who, no you cannot tell the person who told you, and it would be nice if you told someone who isn't on my friend's list, since they'll probably hear about it anyway through my Announcements, if they check them at all.
-Have fun, be nice, and don't flame. You can constructively criticize, but no flaming or just being mean, or general trolling. I understand chatting, but please, let's try to refrain from Role Plays taking over, kay?
-I'd VERY much preffer you kept your poems a bit short... Long poems tend to, er.. be long... and, well... long........ What?
-Anyway, GO!

Okay, I forgot to put these rules up. I REALLY need to tell you before you all try to murder me.
-Everyone who submits a piece will be able to vote.
-This time, the people vote! I just keep a tally.
-Yes, I'm entering.
-No, you may not vote for yourself. (No sh-t, Sherlock. )
-You may only vote once. (DUUUUUUUH!!!!!)
-The winner gets... Bragging Rights.

Alright, my poem has a picture to go with it.

~Farewell~
I look back at the room I've known forever. Then i try to remember it's color.The friend i had in there, why can't i here that voice anymore? The world i knew is but a dream. Why must i wake up now? I don't want to leave it yet, i might forget...
The room was once so bright, but i can't tell anymore.How come it's so dull now? The friend i had in there, he never existed. But i still want him to! The things i believed with all my heart are slowly fading away. Why is it now that all i see is a dull grey? In this world where color once was, it seems i cannot stay. But why is that? I don't want to leave anymore!
It turns out the friend i has a form that cannot move or speak. But I'm about the leave this room, and leave that friend all alone. Goodbye Mr. Rabbit, i don't need you anymore. But why is it now as i leave that this room has a clear color? I don't want to leave anymore! But i have to! And when i do the door will be closed forever.

This poem is the reply poem, and I'm still working on the picture.
~White world~
The white walls of the world you had chosen long ago, are crashing down, without color. Don't look back, don't look back! You can't leave, you know. Don't go back, don't go back! It's not that same, you know. Mr. Rabbit is gone now, that room's empty. Did you know this world is so much brighter? Do turn back, don't turn back! Keep running now!
Don't you stop right now, just keep moving around. If you stop, at all, the walls will crash down on you! Hurry up, hurry up! That world is gone, you know? Run faster, run faster! Because i told you to! You want to live don't you, so stop you're crying!
Hey, you're looking back! I said don't!
Fine, cry now, fine cry now! See where that gets you! Just keep running! Don't you dare stop, the walls are coming down around you, you have no way out!

Reply to the one above.
~Black wall, black sky~
Trapped in a world i thought was white, i want to go back! But all the voices keep telling me not to! I'm being lead every which way! To some I'm just some form of entertainment, yet to some I'm just trash.
Black walls, and black sky, are so clear here without light. Why is it that this world only exists so other can be pushed down and trapped? If i had wings i could fly away, but it's impossible! Why would a world like this exist at all? But Here i am trapped, forever in the black!
I can see the doors back, but if i run to them, they will be locked! Open up, open up! Let me back in, but i can't turn back the clock... In the darkness i thought was white i cry!
Black wall, and black sky, are so clear here? Why isn't there even a glimmer? But here i am trapped forever, with out wings that on which i can fly. Why is it that this world only exists so others can be pushed down and trapped?
I can hear the cries of others, other that have been pushed down. They reach their hands helplessly to the black sky! I've given up, i can't leave, i can't leave at all! Why does a world like this even exist at all!
If only i could just break the rules once, but here I'm trapped forever. I can't even cry.

that be all of my entries.
take a wild guess what mood i was in when i wrote that,

Nighty, I'm curious, what kind of poetry is that?

free form. i do write other types, but i prefer to free form and screw the rules.

Hahaha! gooot it. I'm still working on my last Haiku, so, you'll have to forgive my own slowness.

Now, who did you spread the word too?

ah...

i forget now...

Oh... oh well...

Ooh, this sounds cool! Maybe I should join....hrmm...

I'll enter, once I think of a name for it. Can I have 7 paragraphs?

This Immortal Soul

So I lay here, dying
trying
trying
to make my worth something, but
nothing
nothing
can save me from the things I've done
fun
fun
I used to have it, but now I have none
done
done
for, that's the end of me...

It's too late
too erase what I have done
for none
I didn't save those lives
and I now lose mine...

NO.

Give death
this IOU from me, that says:
"I'll hand you my soul later
See ya, alligator
But there are things to be done and undone,
By the time this soul is yours, I'll have done
Some for those poor people, who lost their lives for me.
But none for you, you wretched fool,
You've spent eternity
Collecting souls, with no real goals,
You're just an enmity.

So, see you later, alligator,
Accept this IOU,
I'll be over and done with,
because of tricks from you.

See you later, alligator!
I hope you find you make use of this note.
By the end of eternity, when good deeds are done,
This immortal soul will be yours."

Someone already has a a poem called The Immortal Soul But I refuse to change the name of my poem, cuz I dunno what to change it to

Very nice! Yeah, anyone can join.
P.S., lolwhut, is that your only entry, or is each paragraph an entry?
Oh, to clarify, you can enter more than three pieces, if you want. But pick three to count.

That's my only entry. I'll post another later.

Okay!

Foolish Mistakes

A man, a hobo, a drunkard was he,
One night he went smoking and drinking with me.
He fell asleep, on a bench spilled his drink down his back,
He fell off the bench when the sky turned black.
His cigar was lit, a certain mistake
His coat set on fire, what a mess he'd made!
Everyone turned around to gaze
And saw this drunkard die in a blaze!

Foolish mistakes, foolish mistakes.
That's why the drunkard will never wake.
People around nearly lost their minds
WHEN THEY SAW THE DRUNKARD WITH DEATH BY HIS SIDE!

A woman, a woman, of age 23
She needed some help, so she called me.
She put all her sharp things behind a door,
Hoping she would not see them once more.
Her closet door creaked, another mistake
The door fell open as she stood and gazed
The knives and sword pelted her down
As fell and died, plop on the ground!

Foolish mistakes, foolish mistakes
And that's why the woman will never wake.
Her folly, she stood, in front of the door
As I, her friend, DEATH, OPENED IT ONCE MORE!

Two people, two people, a couple in love
Went on a cruise, gazing at the stars up above.
The captain was steering, perfectly fine
When the man showed his date a wonderful prize.
An iceberg came, the final mistake
As the captain steered and crashed, the ship began to break.
The couple flew off the side of the ship
And they fell in the ocean and drowned with a dip!

Foolish mistakes, foolish mistakes,
That's why the couple will never wake.
The steering was wrong, the ship went and sank.
And the captain, DEATH, SANK THE SHIP OF THE RANK!

I go around, collecting these souls,
For I have no different prizes or goals!
I please as I go, and go as I please,
And what an acompilshment I concieve!
A corpse in a blaze, a drunkard was lost.
A woman spiked down, I'm really the boss!
Two corpses in the the bottom of the ocean, It was really a success,
But I suggest you leave, CUZ YOU MAY BE NEXT!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!
Happiest day, LALALALALA!
THIS IS THE HAPPIEST DAY FOR ME!

This is my second poem entered, how is it?

Niiiiice. Morbid, but I like it. Whatcha think, Nighty?

Oh, and, here's my first entry...

Waterfall
Cadences fall down,
Down, down, to the ground,
In waves of water.


I like haikus.

i like lolwhut's poems, but the creator of the contest can't enter, GF....

Dude, read the rules again. I added stuff about voting, and in there I said I'd be entering, and you're not allowed to vote for yourself. Not to mention, the people who enter pieces are ALL allowed to vote. I made this because I wanted to read some kick butt poetry, Nighty, not because I wanna win.
Also, I REALLY wanna hear what you think of my poems.

.. darn you and your editing! in that case... i'll wait for other people to enter before i vote.

Of course. I don't have a specific end date. I'm thinking about the end of the month, and maybe spreading the word a bit more...

ah....

I'll help spread it around.

Thanks lolwhut.

I have a magic marker.

That you do.

I MAKE RAINBOWS.

*sighs* No one's joining....

I added this contest to my guestbook.

*Sighs* No one appreciates spontaneous poetry anymore...

I DO!!!!Posty posty (If this sucks jsut tell me....dont normally write poetry you see)

A Smile Exchanged
A smile exchanged
Is nothing without feeling underneath
We wait for another to grow out
While we conceal our true feelings
Beneath smiles exchanged
We wonder if the other is happy
The hidden feelings will surface again
For the sake of a broken promise
But we know it is not the truth
The lies buried deeper
'the feelings have desterted me
Or lowered in their quantity'
We know the lies are never true
While our felings lie hidden
Under smiles exchanged.

I like your poem.

I like it too! Wow! That's great!

Seriously!? wow......and heres me thinking it sucked

mine looked more like stories... *eyes giant notebook of poetry* and i didn't use any of my ones from there for a good reason...

O.o Jeez Nighty...

My second entry. I was flipping through old poems and stumbled across this one. I'll have a third, happier one soon. Here it is...:

i don't know if it counts as poetry, but...

Two Sides of Conflict

As the thoughts fly through your head,
A million miles a minute.
You can’t imagine a world without it,
But you can’t condemn yourself any longer.

You take a breath, in and out,
Convince yourself you’re crazy.
You just cannot do without,
But you feel those nagging thoughts.

So you sit on your bed and ponder,
“Is it really worth it anymore?”
You fight with yourself within,
But those thoughts are so convincing.

“It’s time to move on.” they say,
“Stop wasting your time,
Obsessing like a silly little girl!”
You shrug, and begin to side with them.

But the next day, you see it,
The thing you once desired so.
Self conflict erupts,
Your mind screams at you.

“What are you waiting for?”
“No, just move on!”
“Are you crazy?
This is your shot!”

You push the voices down,
Drown them out with music.
But the thoughts, the mind
Still burns at your soul.

You swallow hard and decide.
“I will not sit around anymore,
I don’t need to wait,
The answer is quite clear to me now.”

You put on your brave face,
You hide all emotions.
You banish your love for it,
For him.

Hm... Nice. Free style, like Nighty's.

Here another one..... (I was thinking about Pippin+Soratchi.....)

HeartBeats

I can feel your heart beat
Beating close to mine
I can feel our hearts beat
Beating together in time

Lying here I wish that this
Moment,it would last
But I knwo I feel your heart beat
Beating from the past

I can fell your heart beat
beating close to mine
I can feel our hearts beat
Beating across time ~<3

Awww, Rio, that's preetty! X3 And I don't just say that because it's got a bit of sentimental value to me!

Anyway, do as I have instructed in the rules and keep spreading the word! with every new person who jons, we'll have even more poets!

Last entry for me.

Burn Eternally
Burning bright,
Burning light,
Burning everlasting.

Blazing suns,
Destructive ones,
Burning everlasting.

In deep space,
The fires race,
Burning everlasting.

Eternal,
Never ending,
Forever burning,
Lighting up the night,
Burning everlasting.

And would you know, that one was ALSO entirely sporadic! It was in my head and needed typing.

I like that one!

I was thinking about Soratchi + Pip and that popped into my head.

Hehehe...

I FEEL SPECIL

In what waaay?

In the way that I am not thinking properly 'cause I havent slept well for the last 3 days!

Oof.... Poor Rio...

Heres my 3rd peice of poetry...

The Embrace
Return into the Darkness...
Go and leave this place
Return into the Darkness...
And leave with out a trace.

Your life,it shall continue,
Here in this dark place...
So join us all together,
Here in Death's sweet embrace.

Interesting.......

Yeah...
