Aw.. D: I was about to post a new poem that I made when I saw Toyumi's declaration of a contest.. :D @Toyumi >I'm thinking about joining, but wait.. The genre of the poem can be anything as long as it's about nature right? (And PG-13) If so, then wait for my PM.. XD [Woohoo! Totally excited!] Oh, your "Splash and Step" is a really great poem.. XD @Holky >It really does.. Oh! I love your new set of poems! Very neat! @Anke >You plotted this whole thing? Nice.. XD I congratulate you.. @Azwan >Welcome.. Welcome.. XD

@ Carrot- Well, not just nature, but more of the seasons (You now, Fall, Spring, Winter and Summer). The poem has to relate to that. It can relate to nature during that season, a holiday of that season, or what happens in that season. Or multiple seasons. Also, just as a heads up, the winner of this contest will have their poem posted in this thread when I announce the winner (unless they say that they don't want their poem to be shared. If that's the case, then just say so in your entry PM to me).  |

@Holkers It's okay nya.. Thanks! ^^ Out of your three poems, I like My Best Friend the most 'cause that's how I feel sometimes.. XD But the other two are quite good too! Very well done! Must've been tough for you, getting pressured to take up something that you don't want.. I'm glad my parents respected my wishes in the end.. Cheer up yeah? They'll give in sooner or later.. You just have to keep holding on to your dreams no matter what they say.. @Toyumi Beeeeecause chibi-Naru ish cute? XD I'm joining! Will PM you as soon as I churn out something.. =.= Although I have a bad feeling that I'll spend most of my time anguishing over the title after I wrote the poem...  Everything we do is stupid, let them laugh |

........no poems for the time being. x.x @Toyumi Wow, your poem has a nice rhythm to it. I like it a lot. playing in the rain is so much fun. Wow,a competition is on. If I'm not busy and able to finish up one. I will PM you before the closing date. @Anke Owh.. My bad.* I'm rather lacking off when it comes to online* O.. I wonder who is that one friend. Anyway, you’re right. Thanks =D That poem I had there shows how busy we are in this century. @Hika-chan Nice, unbelievingly my poem create an healthy life too :3 *I mean exercise is after all one of the healthy lifestyle* T.T the poem you wrote is so depressing. It ache’s my heart. Anyway, it is as awesome as it is. @Holkers Hmm, the meaning of that poem I had attached to my reply to Anke. Anyway, a bad idea if at the end of the poem I add another verse “So what are we waiting for? Let us make time to play and enjoy. As long as we still alive XD, well, I’m glad you found back your poem book. Your poem surely portrays a feeling of a guy towards a girl. How lovingly and emotional it is. Nice poems. and your new posted in poems sounded nice too. i like the "My Best Friend" poems the most. XD @Carrot You wanna write another one. Have you started? Actually is there a theme given or it’s an open topic? @Azwan Welcome! Wow, your 1st poem, shows how patriotic you are towards the country. Good example. ................ GOOD LUCK everyone <- for the Poems competition.

Girl Part: That's what I think today is. My life differs, from that of my friends, because I love books, research and work. I'm not the kind to just loll about, That's why I'm always at a corner, Reading books, writing stuff, Yes, that's my specialty. One day, a handsome boy passed me, So cool, so tall People like me are just an eyesore, To him, well, especially. He's an ace of the basketball team, And he's like a star. He's easy to talk to, that guy. That's why he's an idol. I stared at his eyes, But he evaded me and looked the other way. That's when my world collapsed, Farewell, my first love "Why would he like me??" I thought, foolishly. I men, I'm not his type, Since all I can do is read books. A bookworm like me, And a star like him, Will never be in the same sky, So better yet, I'll bury my feelings, And wait for the future. Boy Part: That;s what I think today is. We got a match today, as you can see. Since I'm a member of the basketball team. I'm the kind that has many pals, Or so they say. People adore me here and there, Since they say I'm great. One day, I walked through the corridors, Then I saw a pretty girl. "I don't she likes me." What the hell am I thinking?? She's this great, smart girl, And she's like a star. She breezed through the exams, That's why she's unattainable. She looked me in the eye so suddenly, So I looked the other side, embarrassed. That's when my world collapsed, Farewell, my dream. I mean, she's this honor student, And I'm just a guy who can shoot. "She won't for me because of that." Depressingly, I thought. A player like me, And a star like her, Will never be in the same sky. Just like oil and water, we'll never blend. So I will say my goodbyes. This is going crazy! Looks like people are too occupied in the contest! Oh, @Toyumi >Can I ask something? The May 14th deadline, is it Gendou time? o.O @JO >Here it is! Still, I'm quite pessimistic about this one.. *Looks like I'm the only one who hasn't started making a nature-related poem yat.. Better start working then! I'll come back later.. XD*

@ Carrot- Just by the end of May 14th I need it. Let's make it Genodu time then since it's hard to keep track of all the time zones. I'll just see when you sent the message, and if it's by the end of May 14th Gendou time, then it'll be good. But I might change the date to a later one, depending on how many entries I can get. Anke's tied up in finals right now, and Jo's busy too (or at least that's what they both said). I want to get at least 3 entries for this contest... But we'll see how many entries I can get before the date rolls around (you can always PM it to me before May 14th). Also @ Carrot- Very nice poem! I like how it shows both sides. Good job! /thumbs up (My super seal of approval. Just thought of it. Rofl.) |

@ Anke- Its okay I have all of my finals coming up next month >< @ All- I've gotten a few entries for the contest so it does look like the contest will end by the end of May 14th as planned. Also, I've made 2 new poems... The first one I don't really like too much (I just had music on my mind and I wanted to get it out of my head), but the second one I took some time on. Gonna Rock the House! Get the sticks get the picks Yeah we're gonna rock the house! Tune the guitars, get the mic There's fun to be had all night! Walk onstage, Yeah, we're gonna rock the house! The lights turn on, and our fans scream! Here comes the first song Yeah, we're gonna rock the house! The fans go crazy and so does the band! The bass gives a solid foundation, Yeah, we're gonna rock the house! The drums are keeping the beat, and the guitar is working wonders! The beat went on Yeah, we're gonna rock the house! Yet the show did come to a close. But hey, we rocked the house! Paths This path I walk Is black and white Through the night, With only a faint light to guide me. Noises coming from the darkness These noises are strange, Like an eerie melody On this range. The path is hard Walking with my bare feet I keep on walking But there's no one to meet. I keep on walking, With no soul to guide me The light is slowly fading And I must flee. Darkness engulfs me, I am free falling down, Into empty space With nothing around. Something happens. I am here no more I land with a thud, And all of the gore. Some one is crying Did they see me? In this world of darkness Could they see? Now this fact, Tears of joy or sadness I will never know For there is no me in this world of madness. |

I wouldn't mind being a reader, that is if you need any others. It's been a long time since I've done any poetry, and even when I did I wasn't really that great at it. I did well in English regarding poems, but I when I write any I tend to sound kind of juvenile. ^^' This is all I could find to use as an example, I can't seem to find any of the longer stuff I did throughout school. I believe I did this back in middle school (or possibly the very start of high school). It's just a simple butterfly cinquain (at least, an attempt at one >.>). the joy of discovery ensuring your future rife with love and happiness but first comes a struggle, with sleepless nights eternal mornings, pain until finally new life    |

@ Jon- Welcome to the club! And your poem isn't too bad either. A bit rough around the edges, but it's pretty good for something you did in middle school. Well, I'm learning about William Shakespearean Sonnets, and I'm attempting to make a sonnet of my own. If it comes out any good, I'll be sure to post it here! ^^ Also, don't forget that the Seasons contest ends in 3 days!!! |

@Toyumi - I usually only spend about half an hour at most on poems when starting from scratch. I've never really spent time on going back and editing things, I usually just write them and leave it as is, so my stuff is always rough. I hate Sonnets. I really don't like rhyme schemes in general, it was probably the area of poetry I did worst in throughout my English courses. |

@Jon >Welcome dude! And may I ask? What is your age in middle school? [Since my country doesn't have those.. D:] Your poem is good man.. :D @Toyumi >Hmmm, I get this feeling that your "Gonna rock the House!" poem is presented in a very shout-like manner, because of all those exclamations.. LOL! And "Paths" is a great one! Very neat. And once again, I think I'll rush the poem for the contest.. :( Since I've been busy these days (And there's only a couple of days left! o.O).. D: @Anke >Ooooh, Love life dude. Good luck on your studies as well as the romantic part.. If you accomplish those two things, I bet you'll make even more magical poems.. :D

@ ALL- Well, the competition is now over. I've had the chance to grade the entries already, and the winner is... Jo!!! I'll be sending the people who entered the contest their judging sheets along with comments I have about the poem, and I'll be sending Jo the code for the winner's banner as well. And now, here's the winning poem... If I could write my dream on a meteor. Bottle it and toss it to the wide open sea. Would it travel to the corner of the earth and echo there the dream I had in mind? Something I want to experience. A feeling I had deep within my heart. Look. The snow is melting, the grass is growing. The trees are blooming, warm rains are hitting. Flowers blossom, birds start to sing, and the sun start to shine. Everything starts anew. Spring has arrived. Then came summer, one of the best times ever. You can relax with friends, whenever you want, as summer break is here. Go on vacation, go far away. To a sunny place, even seaside, where you can play all day. Autumn is around the corner, as you take a stroll down the street. Dried leaves all around you, crunching under your feet. A cool pleasant wind, blows across your face. As you watch leaves, falling at a whimsical pace. They fall waltzing away in a celebration, of a Halloween night. A dark gloomy day start, winter will soon be here. Cold harsh winds will blow, a white blanket of snow will fall. Building snowmen and sledding, have a taste of hot chocolate too. Winter Break is coming soon and the year will start anew. The circle goes round and round, four Seasons we are bound. Yet, I cannot write my dream on a meteor. Nor bottle it to toss it to the wide open sea. My dreams remain encrypted, tightly sealed. Yet, it travel, on eternally. Something I want to experience. A feeling I have deep within my heart. By: JJO @ JO I would like to thank all the contestants for their participation in this contest, and let's keep on writing/reading poetry!!! |

@Carrot - Well, let's see, I was about 17 when I graduated, so I was between 12 and 14 through middle school. You may know it as Junior High and Senior High, but for me most people referred to it as Middle School and High School. Grades 7 through 9 were called that. |

Okay stumbled upon this thread and decided to try my hand at making a poem... It is a bit rough in the edges and in all likelihood not really that good, but at least I tried... Well it's been years since I've done anything like this. I might try making more in the future, depending on my mood and the amount of free time I have. It tells a story that someone might actually recognise... Resonance of souls From the north he came through the wind and snow what lay ahead of him that he did not know In the west she lived a land of lords and knights there she thought her future on many of the warm nights The halls of learning was where they first met only in passing that you can't forget Their story begins within the halls they tread in a day of ends and beginnings full of hope full of dread Before the day is done they are on the run running for freedom under the shining sun A battle in ruins leads them north their luck it seems won't run short In the north the dead did rise the battle was short and swift their demise When magics of old did leave him blind but fate it seems was still very kind The friends did scatter after the fight but the two found eachother before end of the night The feelings they found towards eachother was one of the things that brought them together In the morning all were united although another fight soon ignited The fight never finished as the storms arrived the enemy fled and the friends survived Soon after the fight an old friend does he meet with his help the storms do they greet The meeting went well and the storms agreed to lend them their aid in this time of need The storms were gathering moment of love was shared they told eachother how much they cared But another foe already lurked nearby but even this enemy together they would deny After the battle as they had guessed in the house of storms they finally got some rest Time passed by all their wounds healed and the world for him was once again revealed On that very day he asked her a question this was also his secret confession The minds of the two were made up in the end the rest of their lives together they would spend The story from here how will it unfold that my friends is yet to be told   |

I was wondering if I could join as a writer. I write a little bit of poetry when I get hit with inspiration and whatnot and I would really like to know what people think of my writing style. -bows- Sank chu so much! <3 Tifa-chan  |
