[Ninva]

Here's a poem.

Spoiler

The tree –
It grows high
In the sky,
Yet its progress
Dies.
People say,
“Why –
Must a tree
Cease its growth,
And then decay?”

The Eagle replies,
“I too can’t
Touch heaven,
Or reach the sun.”

Quietly Man whispers,
“Nor can I.”

 

[Seb!]

Was that a subtle jab at my post?

 

[Ninva]

Yes.

I wrote a poem.

 

[Seb!]

Well it is true that after the first two weeks we enter a dead zone.

My Entry (Sorry about the earlier one).

Spoiler

I know one of perfect soul,
one to cherish and one to hold.
One of beauty rare of sight –
so her beauty shines out the light.

Yet she is taken and bound to man –
your wasted love, like water on sand.
And so these bleeding hearts of ours
do shatter at the very sound –
of angel's flight 'pon heavenly wing
with words of old, new to bring.

You hear talk upon the round
of those who seek heaven bound
and those who are but mortal coil
built of sin and sweat and toil.

But there is one above them all
who sings as such to sooth the soul.
Angel above these ice’d cold nights
speaking songs to our respite.

A beauty such of no compare
her hair gold her skin fair.
Once upon I saw her sight
of angel’s shadow burning bright.

But fly unto untimely rest
for she is taken at his behest.
Though 'oer their heart bleeds blood of stone
the sin of love has thus been sown.

And so to speak – even ‘oer her name,
Is thus the world to defame…

 

[Halahan]

I skimmed it, so forgive me If i'm wrong, but where do you reference to plants in any way?

Regardless, really nice poem.

Sin of love sown. Plants. Kinda.

 

[DM Cross]

Only 3 days left.

 

[Ninva]

Is someone going to add my poem?

 

[DM Cross]

All entries are added. You weren't the only one missing, so don't feel like you were excluded. It just isn't updated asap all the time.

 

[Ninva]

Alright, thanks Seth.

 

[jonadrian619]

Sorry guys, I didn't update the entry lists earlier. I was inactive for a while because I was busy making up my map.

Anyways, there are only a few days left, for those willing, now is the chance to submit your entries. I'll be back soon.

 

[DM Cross]

Jona, you realize you cannot enter the poetry contest you host, correct?

 

[BlowingKush]

I'm not gonna make this contest. I didnt read the 1st post entirely and wrote my McCain poem without realizing that your poem had to be about plants.

 

[Chao]

I might be late, but consider me in.

 

[Seb!]

I now consider you in.

MY POEM

Spoiler

I’m standing before the brightest spring,
With brand new colours I’ve never seen,
The trees are barking and the snails sing.

A funny hat and a body, oh, so slim,
I can’t see her face, my vision is dim,
She dress in my breath and I spread my wings,

I soar into the sky; I’m here in between,
I see a big bright beautiful world, filled with happy things
But now I must land and say good-bye to the spring

Now I’m back in my darkness, abandoned by the feeling
She’s gone with the wind, left my heart broken and bleeding…
