    Hi everyone, it's been forever since I've been here but I'm delighted to be back and thought I'd celebrate with a poetry competition. (I also thought it would be a good way to inspire others to start competitions as I haven't found any active ones). That said, if I'm just being dumb and there are active poetry contests out there for me to enter, please let me know and I'll do so!

    Ok so here are the rules...

    1. 10 titles, 2 poets per titles, each poet may enter only 2 poems (must be under different titles). Please reserve titles and I will try and update this on this post as often as possible in order to avoid confusion.
    2. Poems may be any style, mood or length.
    3. A brief description of the motivation for your poem may be entered (no more than 2 lines) but it is important to remember that it is usually the more successful poems that tell their own story and do not need an explanation.
    4. Deadline: 31 March 2010
    5. Be creative and HAVE FUN!!!

    Prizes...

    1st - 15 rates and comments (may be specified by poet)

    What was What is and What never will be (Diatelle)

    You're
    Worthwhile,
    Make me smile.
    Were my sunshine--
    But you are versatile;
    Never a time were you all mine.
    The thought of you sends shivers up my spine.
    Don't know what you did; but you made my thoughts obscure;
    And we will never again intertwine.
    Feelings have managed to refine;
    You're not worth my while.
    You are malign,
    Merely vile,
    Hostile
    Whore.

    Rein In The Wind - Kimberley B.

    Love once had should be good enough
    For a heart to live on for one lifetime
    But my heart doesn't think that's much
    Because it hurts, this little heart of mine

    If I could rewrite all the world's history
    If I could take all the earth's power in
    Oh I swear I'd bring my love back to me
    If only this heart could rein in the wind

    My mind says give it up, just let it all go
    Take a new road and make a new way
    But this heart just keeps screaming no
    And demanding for my love back today

    If I could touch the sky, walk on the sea
    Or even if I could bring all the waters in
    Oh I swear I'd bring my love back to me
    If only this heart could rein in the wind

    My beauty will fade away into the night
    My voice will drift off in a crowded room
    This body will eventually lose all it's fight
    The capsule holding my soul will face doom

    If I could hold the earth in my hands though
    Or even if I could just take all it's magic in
    Oh I swear I'd bring my love back to me
    If only this heart could rein in the wind

    Dystopian perfection (Hiding In A Rolleidoscop Lens)

    Staring at your face through my Rolleidoscop lens,
    Your pale skin quivers against the light,
    As I stare into those pools of effortless bark,
    This playground it fades to the night.

    Why do our days seem to slip through our fingers?
    And why must we part these silk ties?
    Serendipity fell on my ignorant nature,
    When you became one with my eyes.

    On crimson lips I feel you there,
    Breathing in the hydrogen cyanide,
    Why are your hands so limp to the touch?
    Could it be the end of this ride?

    Stroking your features I know the truth,
    As I look back at photographs, black and white,
    You were never truly happy on this plane as I am,
    You were never truly my dark knight.

    Now as I stare out on the moonlight,
    Holding your lifeless body across my thighs,
    I wonder in such dystopian perfection,
    Why even the moonlight cries.
