Just Do It! (short contest)

Just trying to slowly work my way back onto the site so I thought I'd hold a very short contest while members await Michael's acrostic contest to start. Yes, I realise it's the weekend etc and, possibly I'll have no takers but...if you fancy a go,,here it is. For convenience, I will judge this myself so just post your poem here...

Choose one emotion (make it your title) and no more than six lines long...Like I said, short contest both in time and lines...show me what you've got. or not...your choice :)

This will finish as soon as Michael posts his contest....

I could possibly be 'stealing' items from members and offering them up as rewards so...first poem in could receive the pinky ring on "Lucifer's right hand haha!!! Lucifer...do you want to save your ring? Post a poem to save it or have someone else steal it from you :)

No one seems to want Lucifer's ring (including him) but...it's still up for grabs!

In the mean time....Milly's frog is looking good to me...how much does Milly love her frog? Enough to write a six lined poems on one emotion or is anyone willing to steal her frog???

Hellon(acrostic) emotion is optimism.

Her
energy is
luminous
light
of
nature.

Is it OK?
It's six lines.

Can I have my ring back?

You can have your ring back for sure...well I think...you have six lines...but what was your emotion?

I do appreciate that it was an acrostic and, it had my name but..I can't give any bonus points for that...only your ring back for now :)

OK, so I had to write about an emotion like love, sadness.. OK got it give me few mins

Milly's missing frog:

My psychedelic frog is lost
he must be found at any cost
small and tiny shaded green
surely someone must have seen
he cannot croak for he is mute
I hope that someone finds my newt (minute)

What is your title Michael...I'm knocking out a couple of options here haha?? Milly...your frog is on the line here???

Is optimism an emotion?

Hellon the poem I wrote for you is optimistic, isn't it?

So if being optimistic is an emotion, I think I did it right then

Yeah..I think it is...can both you and Michael edit your poems to include your titles of emotions please...and anyone else who posts please include your title...

Delete this post hellon, I forgot the six line rule.

'luminous woods'

This one is for Milly's frog

Chorus(emotion is silence)

A congregation of the handful
of cold-blooded carnivores
obeying
the law of the rain
to obliterate
the silence around me.

It is the equality
that brings us all to existence.
Nothing can carry on unsymmetrical

Everything that reflect shines
and everything that shine
reflects.

Title: Ambivalence

Short of hopes, a log swims;
Afloat -
Down towards a riverbank.

Just in time - a lumberjack,
Out, cutting trees,
Yells, "there you are!".

Ego Trips (syntuit)

Your travel selfies
depict awe inspiring sights
hidden by your head

EDIT: Changed Title

Happy:

He gleefully decided one
afternoon that I should take
poetess and dreamer
poetically from my name -
yearly I remain his Happy.

Wow....a lot more participation than I was expecting....still time to get your entries in...Just Do It!

I posted for my ring and Milly frog too.

Yes, Milly's frog seems to be a popular treasure with both you an Michael vying for it. So far Milly has not come forward to reclaim him but, there's still time yet.

So, I've been looking around for some other little 'incentives' and here's what I've relocated to my goody bag and can now offer to you unless the owners bargain for them with their own poem.

Britt's very trendy glasses
Jane's Silvershoes
Maryanne's lovely looking dog.

For marryanne's dog

Barked(emotion is affection)

Balance of the
affectionate
relationship between the
kind and
energetic
devotion.

Oh dear Maryanne...Looks like Lucifer is challenging you for your dog! Are you going to let him away with it, woof woof!!!!

For Jane's silvershoes

Silver(emotion is hope)

Shadow of
inner darkness
lightened up when
valor
enamored with
radiance.

OMG...looks like Lucifer is seriously after all that's in the goody bag. Competing with Michael for Milly's frog and now...laying stakes for Maryanne's woof and Jane's Silvershoes. Ladies...are you going to let him away with this???

Train frustrations

Sitting on the train home
alone, and reading
until
Ms "make up and no knickers"
parks her ass next to mine and
adjusts her bra and make up

Envy

A cloak can neither
cover nor contain the scales that
begin to plate my skin -
emerald and serpentine in appearance,
I am becoming a monster.

Numb

She felt the raindrops touch her
But unlike the way he touched her-
And yet the difference didn’t matter;
she became cold, and she did not notice
that the bridge where she stood
crumbled with her.

for britts glasses

Love (emotion is courage)

Land
of
venturous
ecstasy.

Wow!!! Lucifer has cleared out the goody bag and, it seems he will be allowed to keep his treasures! Perhaps I'll have to hunt around for some more items haha!!!

I think Michael may be posting his contest soon so there's not much time left guys. It's been a grand turnout so far I think :)

Ok only just found out about my frog being put on the line so will do my best to get her back.... watch this space

A Frogs Despair

Please dont steal me, I'm a frog in despair
Im offering to my frog God, a frantic prayer
I like living with Milly, she's good for morale
and want to stay with her, cause she is my pal
Should you steal me away, I will fade into grey
If I'm to be happy, its here I must stay.

Milly came screaming in at the very end to claim back her frog haha!!!

As Michael has now posted his contest this one will close. Lucifer, it looks like you can hang onto the rest of the loot as they remain unclaimed by their owners!

I'm going to have a friend who is interested in poetry (not a member of this site) help me choose a winner as the entries are all so damn good I need it!

Hopefully I'll have a result later today but...you are all winners in my book...thank you all for participating.

Ribbit lol

Loved this

Craig :-)

Just seen this and what a lovely fresh no pressure idea.

I kinda missed the boat on this occasion. Gutted as I wanted a frog

Lol

So....once again thanks to everyone who participated...I hope you enjoyed the challenge as much as I enjoyed reading your entries (although, choosing a winner has left me with a HUGE headache haha!!)

After much 'mulling' my friend and I have decided to present the "Just Do It!" award to Larry for his syntuit. The decision was a tough one but we were swayed because this short poem is so in the moment of today's society where so many lovely buildings/sights are blocked out by big heads or bigheads haha!!! Take a well deserved bow Larry!

Thanks again everyone and...special mention to Lucifer who was the most enthusiastic entrant I feel...You look pretty cool in them Slivershoes and trendy glasses dude...hope you look after Maryanne's woof dog :)

Wow...Lucifer went home with the goodies. Congratulations, Larry!

@ Ms. Hellon, thank you for hosting this contest.

Not only did Lucifer go home with all the goodies he's since deleted his account...very sad to see this happen he was so enthusiastic.

Oh my... :-(

I don't understand. Whatever happened to V@n?

Well done Larry - I love that piece.

Congrats Larry it was a great piece. Sorry to hear Lucifer has closed his account maybe it was accidental? Thanks for organising Hellon it was a brilliant idea and very enjoyable. Milly x
