RESULTS ARE IN
SCROLL DOWN

Sole Inspiration-Brooke

You are the sun that brightens the day
Totally perfect in each and every way
An essence so pure sent from heaven above
A voice as tranquil as the morning dove

Eyes that twinkle like the brightest star
Admired and captured from afar
A smile that can melt the winters snow
And make the most fragile flower grow

Lips so moist akin to the morning dew
Therefore, soft and gentle just like you
A heart so delicate like a butterflies wing
Never to be injured what joy it would bring

Your inner strength is like the tallest tree
Expanding its branches for every one to see
Love and passion is what you're about
A truly beautiful appearance inside and out

**It's just beautiful. It has that calming effect on its readers.

-Edit-

keep them coming...or there wont even be three placings !!

^^I've read that poem too many times now, I'm in love with it. First time I read it, I was almost in tears. The meaning behind it is so strong and sad, I just love it. =)

No Evidence
by «¦[ sυρєяgιяł ღ ]¦»

Weak violated shattered heart,
Ripped into shreds; pulled apart.
Evil demon who creeps at night,
Stole innocence without a fight.

Bruises, cuts, scars or burns?
No evidence to prove the wrong.
Shortened air; unable to breathe,
Too much force; she isn't strong.

Strange voices echo in her mind,
Reminding of what's left behind.
Weak violated shattered heart,
Ripped into shreds; pulled apart.

Broken, torn, completely alone,
No evidence to prove the wrong.
Physical abuse at it's very best,
But puzzle pieces don't belong.

Evil demon who creeps at night,
Stole innocence without a fight.
Proud he was; so unbelievable,
Mind and soul's now unreachable.

No evidence to prove the wrong,
While simple words can be spoken,
Forceful actions is what's strong.

((This girl is on my favs and this poem is the latest one of hers that I like...))

No Evidence

As well as the above person. This poem I feel and know to well to no tbe able to realte to it. It's simple but is deep enough at the same time.

i nominate ¥Turtle¥157 's The day she stopped. this is my all time favorite poem, it was the writer's first poem and i think it far out does any of my poems and alot others i've read(not that i'm saying i'm that great or anything..lol) it is filled with sooo--- much emotion and meaning, its beautifully written and just amazing. it makes me cry when i read it.

I have a friend that has a secret
and only a few know.
I am one of them and this tells what she does not show.

The problem that this young girl has
is easier to tell you,
if i show you how it happened
from her point of view:

"I love to read 'Eragon'
because inside the bind,
hides a tiny little razorblade
that no one else will find.

I dont know why i do this.
I dont know why I would
All I know is when I do it, I feel as if i should.

The sharp edge touches my skin.
I drag it across my wrist.
The blood appears in a thin line, and I make a fist.

The pain helps with my problems,
these unknown problems that i feel.
These scars show how i feel as if, I will never heal.

But maybe i will get better,
because of a boy that i will tell.
Maybe he can help me
get through this living hell.

I have another secret.
My scars are hard to hide.
So now I do it on my legs
where no one sees the razor slide.

But now i will tell this boy,
who i know will give a loving hand.
For he hopes that I will realize that he truly understands.

Now he has 'Eragon'.
He holds the blade for me,
so i cannot slice this blade and now, i can clearly see.
I can see how much he cares
and how much he loves me."

I am the boy who loves her so
and helped her reach the top.
That is what she says at least,
she says i helped her stop.

i had to change it. Bryce's poem amazed me. i had sarah but OMG that one is the best EVER! GEEZ! its sad and full of emotion and i loved everything about it!

Wow... Thanks Bryce and Kaylee.. Though it probably doesn't deserve to be in this contest. =)

well "I" thought it was good enough to be in this contest, so i nominated it....

Thanks Bryce. =P

no problem

and Dwelt.... please find something other to do than to pick on people. A little immature for some 48 year old dude. Some of these poems from Ed, Dohr, Sunny, and all the others, ARE great. Alright, its a contest of opinion, who YOU think deserves to be nominated.

OK everyone this is a true poet, I read his poems and it just touches my heart and soul. His words are beautiful and gentle, just reading his poems will make you smile and light your heart with a warm soothing flame of hope.

by Endless Rapture

Soft beaming eyes, like a star blazed sky at night
All the universes merge into the gaze of your eyes
Taken to glittery galaxies afar at the speed of light
Carried by the spark of a thousand twinkling skies

A surging supernova bursts through rising clouds
Warm and tender bodies explode with a sweetness
Soft & intoxicating aphrodisiacs of kisses shrouds
Time stands still, causing a sublime completeness

The raging twilight fire dances to our hearts beat
As slumber showers earth in gold cosmic delights
Creating a welcomed shade from summer's heat
Silver moonbeams waltz in blue seductive lights

The orangey sun rises in the northern hemisphere
The tall billowing drapes open, gently not to rush
Gazing at the beauty unfolding in the atmosphere
As daylight peeps, the silken skies begin to blush

A blissful rhapsody swiftly sears into fiery seams
Cupid's arrow injects with a heavenly sweetening
Sacred love woven with silky and aromatic beams
Racing through, shooting, endless love glistening

see, like that, there's no reason to even bring it up. If people see certain poetry at a higher quality then you should have no reason to second guess them.

And you did the same thing. You suggested an Author who is pretty well known. FTS Miles.

Nice poem FlirtingWithDeath.

Bob-(dwelt)

*the poem **u** chose should be one **you find inspiring** and which has a little extra something, and you must state why **u think** it deserves to win.

poetry is in the eye of the beholder.. just b/c i think a poem's hot stuff doesn't mean you have to, same the other way around too. its all personal opinion..

xLaurenx

oh and dwelt- so you're saying you never wrote a 'pmply' poem-as you call it? Puh-leeze

FlirtingWithDeath: That was a GREAT poem.. I've read it a number of times. It's great.

Oh I hope this isnt going to turn into a debate, Lauren you are right poetry is in the eye of the beholder, I am sure not a lot of people will like the poem I choosed as well but I think it is beautiful and you think the poem you choosed is "hot stuff" :) Not everyone will like a certain style of poetry, some people dont even like poems that dont ryhm but that is no reason to say it is not good.

Tis a constest and a conversation on the side :D

OH come on people is there no other poems? What poem do did you read that made you want to read over and over again? What poem did you read that made you smile or brought tears to your eyes? I want to add another poem but...I see we are only allowed to post one poet ><

I'm not too sure what the prizes are and everything, cause it was her poem that won, but if you meant I get 5 comments aswel then my latest 5 are fine. =)

But w0o! Congrats Kaylee. =P ..and to the other winners!

Thanks Nat and everyone. Especially the perosn who ran this contest.

That word in tarnished mute is a drug name. It's the key to figureing out the poem when you find out what most people use it for :(

As for commas I just use that to seperate lines hwen writing. I just forget to remove them sometimes.

My poem suck at least the new ones. I'm taking a much needed poem writing break.

Yay! Turtle Got 2nd,, to think- he doesnt think he's good. lol. and i gots him comments.. haha.. -gigglesnort-
