I saw this contest hours ago and thought it was such a great idea, so I got started right away. I used all of the words in every list, if that was okay, I got a bit excited I think! :) Here is mine:

Dreams Woven Into Atmosphere

Candle spice ventures on a promenade
across singing amber walls
and whistling pots of tea
to the nocturnal balcony
where a pink orchid crawls
onto malicious reflections.

Lively ribbon dancer
absorbs the mesmerizing air
and is energized by spirit
as she twirls about
beside her bold assistant
the courageous umbrella.

Curled strings of light fall
twisting around their
festive and gaudy dance
stars engage in mutiny
hearing this new anomaly
they rebel against routine.

Brutal winds abandon
their own structured liability
holding in the winter bullet
to keep from frigid faces
songbirds finally break free
and checkmate Jack Frost's grip.

Mauve clouds house a mighty dragon
as each victory flag leaps gaily
questioning the mentality
of the discombobulated wicked
no shots can be heard for miles
the deafening riffle has been laid down.

Scarlet silhouette mingles
between dusk and early dawn
bestowing tender kisses
among the fatigue toes
of traveling foreigners
who speak in hypnotic language.

Glamorous pawn travels
'neath shadowy rivers
filled with murky wax
that dissolves into melodies
made of cozy azure silk
molding an underwater rhapsody.

Pallid turtleneck transforms
into kaleidoscopic drapes
hanging elegantly over
round and durable shoulders
showing earth-colored skin
dipped in creamy milk.

Stubborn treetops shutter
the heavenly gold light
too afraid of immediate change
but lovely robins entice them
promising a new tomorrow
as they relish in foresight.

Venomous monster prowls
the ghastly twilight territory
until purloined refugees
escape nefarious eyes of the jury
and move unto realms
enlivened with glory.

Gentle water nymphs frolic
among indigo currents
pursuing the strong barracuda
in hope of making a friend
who will shelter their figures
from outer curses and evils.

Paper hearts go extinct
as real love is brought in
injecting the chaotic world
with sincere and truthful lips
that will create a gateway
into welcoming homes of saints.

*bows* That... Was.... Amazing!!!!!

I like that you used all the words creative just makes my job harder lol

THREADED BEWARE-damont

Hypnotic eyes stare its prey paralyzed
Entered its zone and you’ll be found
Discombobulated, mutilated and all the other –lated
So run don’t hestitate

When it caught its prey
They didn’t have a pray
Deafening grinds were heard instead
And its skin tore like pieces of silk threads

Frolic near the water at your own peril
For now you have the foresight of the future
Write this warning down on paper
What awaits you is a lovely barracuda

Threaded beware corrected-damont

Hypnotic eyes stare its prey paralyzed
Entered its zone and youll be found
Discombobulated, mutilated and all the other lated
So run dont hestitate

When it caught its prey
They didnt have a pray
Deafening grinds were heard instead
And its skin tore like pieces of silk threads

Frolic near the water at your own peril
For now you have the foresight of the future
Write this warning down on paper
What awaits you is a lovely barracuda

I used list 4 on this one

Thank you :) Nice job

Tantalized Patience.

Discombobulated emotions
-tantalize patience-
with deafening vexation,
compressing foresight.

hypnotic lips of silk
-in sync with mine-
only a lingering dream
in frolic with reality.

lovely temptation
-dances at my fingertips-
like a vivacious barracuda,
unreachable.

allurement transforms into
-a paper promenade-
to brutal loneliness,
where I yearn for your silk lips

-to be in sync with mine-

list number four: discombobulated, deafening, foresight, hypnotic, silk, frolic, lovely, barracuda, paper, & brutal.

Nice :) very nice

This is such an awesome idea! :) I think I'll probably try and write something for list 1 ~ though I'll have to write it within the next few days.

Take your time deary :)

Here you go, Nik. I tried my best. Haha.

List Five.

Reptile Prisoner

Dusk swam in
Drowning my wax heart.

Monster!

Fatigue overcame my body.
(For just a few seconds.)
While my turtleneck hugged-
(strangled) me into unconsciousness.

Slither.. slither..
He was completely nefarious
Caressing the paleness of my skin.

The ghastly thing,
he just kept coming.

(as if my screams called to him)

My toes clenched at it's touch.
Rough.. scratchy.. sharp..
(It's burning me!)

The language of the reptiles was upon my breath.

It's venomous heart thudding,
loving every bit of my torture.
My life. Feed me..
Please?

Sleep tight my little pet.
Dawn is taking control of the night.

Miis ya nik!! list 3

I Am The Pawn

Your deep shadowy interiors
Pallid eyes that I used to believe
That the showed some kind of remorse
With such tender actions, I was stubborn
To even think that I could change you

You were the jury, trying to set a verdict
But you were a thief, who purloined
My untamed, broken heart, That I gave to you
I am the pawn who gave everything to you
But you cut me heart leaving deep scarlet scars

Now all I can see is your silhouette walking
Straight into the never ending darkness
Leaving me, bleeding with insanity all over the floor
Yes, the pain hurts, but not as much knowing
How you some day will pay a high price for my suffering

Miss you too Ash :)

I'm so excited.

Keep them coming

Hey Nik, long time no speak :)

I used List Three. I loved the idea, shame I can't write for the life of me! Hope it's okay :)

"That Gift You Ever So Kindly... Stole"

Tender skin warms mine,
caresses drowning my thoughts.
Perfection.
Can we stay here?

Your pallid face inches above my own,
searching for consent in my wide eyes.
You won't find it, dear.

And it was always your downside,
stubborn as always.
You can't resist, can you?

In the shadowy bedroom,
you purloined my heart in so many ways.
My screams are not the kind
you were so desperate to hear,
are they?

Pain stabbed my mind
as I poured my soul to the jury.
Watching you fleeing in my memory,
a silhouette in the moonlight,
crawling through my shutter.

"The thief,
he stole the gift I would have given him,
in time,
leaving scarlet bed sheets in my nightmares."

"And I, the fool, never realised,
that I was just a pawn in his game
of gain, lust, and heartbreak."

I used list 3 and 4. Couldn't chose a title so I came up with this kinda crappy one. Love the idea by the way. It's so awesome!

His Love Kills

Those contrary words that discombobulated her
So brutal and so deafening they echo their intent
He acted as the jury, judge and executioner
Purloined her life 'til she was only a silhouette
The way she used to move was enthralling, hypnotic
She was a tender lovely girl bordered on a beauty
Once a crimson red rose now only a pallid scarlet
What a barracuda this girl has turned out to be
Her skin once as soft as silk now as thin as paper
Once a stubborn girl and independent now she's a pawn
Only a shadowy figure she's a curtain, shutter
Over the girl that used to frolic but still live on
If he'd had the foresight to know he'd only ruin her
He would never have let his twisted love for her spawn
For his love killed her beauty as his love would kill a swan

~KM~

Hi Em :) *skittle hugs*

You guys are blowing me away!!!

Everyone happens to have used list 4... I hope my poem is outrageously unique ;)

Passionate Chaos

This art is her life
as it has enveloped her soul in
it's hypnotic blanket;
a willing victim she is.

She moves like silk; grace
like never seen before --
this paper too diminutive to explain
the beauty of her being.

Completely entranced is she
of the life that is dance --
as I am of her. However,
our foresight must have lacked;

her frolic gradually ceased
when her lovely dream seemed to have
shattered -- silence deafening as
the mortifying revelation resonated.

Her passion, a barracuda:
snatching her ambition, desire,
everything; a discombobulated mess she is
and only herself to blame.

A soul so filled with kindness,
raped of her rightful future --
why a being so pure, forced to endure
this unjust consternation is beyond me.

Imagine staring at your own death
caused by your happiness.
Imagine watching your life spiral into the depths
of ghastly chaos you unknowingly created.
