Post subject: | Non-rhyme poetry contest - CLOSED |
As I promised, here it is. I do not generally write non-rhyme myself, but I can appreciate it when done well. However, I will warn you that it can be difficult to impress me. Do your best! Same rules as last time. 12 line limit. No rhyme. Your choice of topic, but it must follow forum rules. One entry per person. Deadline is February 1st. Note: Many think that "free verse" is stricly non-rhyme, but free verse CAN in fact rhyme. So, this is not a contest strictly for free verse but only strictly for non-rhyme. You poem can have meter without rhyme if you would like, but I am sure the majority of entries will be non-rhymed free verse. |

sorry for double-posting, but here's my entry (inspired by the sylvie guillem dance piece 'blue yellow'): Little Yellow Room Why is it you dance in your little yellow room? Do you dance with joy, or with the sadness in your soul? Do you see me watch you in your little yellow room? Or do those distant eyes see a new fantastic world? I wish that I could dance in a little yellow room, but I am trapped in blue and the steps just will not come. |

I'll enter... Ack it's rubbish... well anyway... Nothing Ever Changed Corner of the street, gum stuck on the sole of my shoe, Chipped paint under my hand as I grip the sign, Pointing in one direction; the same direction, It never changed. Sun shines showing brand new windows, And new paving, new, but no longer clean, Dark sky and dust-filled air, Nothing’s changed. It’s been covered up well, but I still feel it, Ringing in my core; it has a new lick of paint, But the cracks are coming through, Nothing ever changed. |

Me please...not that good Fragile thing These thick thorns, Oh how they cut down deep Into my skin, blood everywhere Such beautiful roses They arn't that great When they hurt me so Why would you go now When i need you the most Run straight away from me These cuts arnt healing And i don't feel like you love me No you don't love me anymore |

Winter Rose Stealing breath, stealing beauty, piercing to look at, cold steady eyes. Twilight zoning, the sun streaking through, the black forest frowning, the wind howling. Bled forever on, to paint the world red, white winter rose still holding on, till that last breath. |

May I enter? My poem's quite rubbish I guess... but still... Please, don't leave me! Please, don't leave me! I need you here, need your voice to comfort me, your arms supporting me, just you there that's all I need to be happy! Please, don't leave me! Don't you see, you mean everything to me, you're all that I've got, don't you see I love you, you fool! Please, don't leave me! otherwhise I won't ever be able to go on, I won't be able to breathe, to speak, to live, it would kill me! Please, don't leave me! |
