The Poetry Slam Contest

[Ninon]

Okay. Little idea here. Kuri gets his graphics contest. What does Ninon get? Her poetry contest! Yay! Any poetry is allowed. But if it's graphic, please have a warning. Here are the rules to my Poetry Slam Contest.

1. The poem can be of any genre. I don't care. If it has graphic (coughsexualcough) nature, please have a warning somewhere that will be noticed BEFORE reading the poem.

2. The poem must be AT LEAST three lines long. It can by as long as you want it as long as it is at LEAST three lines long. Three. And if it is that short, it must follow the format of a haiku.

3. DO NOT POST YOUR POEM HERE! I don't want people to know who the author of the poem is. Just PM me the poem. The subject should read "Poetry Slam: (Insert Poem Title Here)." I also want the title to come before the poem in the actual message.

4. Don't be afraid. Every author is unknown unless you place. Depending on how many poems I get will decide how many will place.

5. All members are allowed to post up to THREE poems. Yes, that's THREE poems. No more. If you wish to post less than three, you are allowed.

Deadling is April 23rd. Any poems submitted after this deadline will not be included. No exceptions.

I Hate It

I hate your curly hair
How it shines so bright in the sun
I hate your whimsical smile
That shows your always having fun

I hate how you look at me
That silly smile on your face
Like you can really see me
And hear my heart's fast pace

I hate how you can talk to me
Yet I can't talk to you
Because you can't seem to see
That my love for you is true

But, the thing I hate the most
Even more than all of this
Is not how you look at me
But how much you really miss
Because you look at her

I hate how you watch her
Your gaze like mine towards you
I hate how your so curious about her
Like I'm curious about you

I hate how you hear
Every word she says
Yet when I try to get your attention
It's like I'm not there

I hate how I love you
And how I love her too
But you can't seem to see me
Because your feelings for her are "true"

But the thing I hate the most
Even more than all of this
Is not how you look at me
But how much you really miss
Because you look at her[/center][/color]

Nothing Left

Staring at this piece of paper
I’ve found there’s nothing left to say
To a girl who promised she’d be there
But turned and ran away.
I’ve tried so hard to be,
Anyone but me,
But now I’ve finally seen,
The person you could be.
You stabbed me in the back,
Started talking trash,
About people you’ve known forever,
But I must say,
You were quite clever.
You’re lies were perfect,
You’re head was clear,
But there was one great flaw,
And I’m afraid it wasn’t moi.

A Dance With Ana

Shall I chance a dance with Ana?
In her musical land of desperation
Suicides.
Shall I chance a dance with Ana?
Shall I ride among the tides?
Or fall beneath the deep blue water
Of her pleading lies.
Shall I chance a dance with Ana?
Let her guide me to my doom.
Shall I chance a dance with Ana?
In her broken, little room.
Shall I chance a dance with Ana?
Take her hands in mine.
Let her teach me the rhythm
Of a twisted, broken line.
Shall I chance a dance with Ana?
Let her shape me how she wants.
Shall I chance a dance with Ana?
Shall I give in to the taunts?
Shall I chance a dance with Ana?
Nothing else will last.
She’ll either leave me broken;
Just a shadow of my past.
Or she’ll kiss me gently on the lips
And put her hands upon my hips
Letting me lead this time.
Shall I chance a dance with Ana?
Let her gaze upon her win.
Shall I chance a dance with Ana?
Will I commit to this new sin?
Where bones lye in the wake of
The aftermath of a devil’s grin
And I’m forever caged in a slumber
Of bloodied lies from within.
Shall I chance a dance with Ana?
Shall I give in?

Darkness

Darkness, Darkness, fill my room,
hide me in the shadows, amongst the gloom.
Darkness, Darkness, hear my plea,
save me from the atrocity, that I see.
Darkness, Darkness hear my call,
help me stop myself from this fall.

I watch the shadows, as they conspire,
threatening me with their deadly spire,
Twist and turn, to and fro,
Dancing with ghastly malice as they go.
Tearing, bleeding; deathly cry,
Oh why can't I just die?

Darkness, Darkness, fill my soul,
give me the strength I need, to reach my goal.
Darkness, Darkness, feel my lust,
don't allow me to form the trust.
