Jenna's Dark Poetry Contest; Part Two.

***CLOSED***CLOSED***CLOSED***

The results are on the part one of this contest called "Dark Poetry Contest" so check there for those please; and write the next part here.

The Eight winners that I have narrowed it down to will now write a quatrain (4 lines) on the same object of your last poem.

From there, there will be a final 5 who will write a lantern about, again, the same object.

And the final three, I will r/r/c on 5 poems of your choice and First place will also get a place on my favorites if not already there.

I will give you all until October 11 to get your poems in or at least let me know you have seen the results. From there, I will email all who have not noticed, and give them until the 18th. Sorry for being so pushy about it, but we don't all like waiting around for results.

So get writing winners, and continue to amaze me with your words! =]]

Complete - 5/8

-Jenna.

I am confirming that I know I have placed and I know when my poem is due. However, I do not know when I will be able to write it, for I am swamped with homework and stress.. But, for you, I will try to get it done soon. =]
And, by the way, thank you for waiting on me and letting me enter the contest. =]

It is fine, on my computer I have the waiting list of confirmations lol, I'm just cool like that. Take your time with it, it is fine. Your schooling is more important than this contest. And no problem, in my mind, it was a great move to be done. =]]

-Jenna.

OMG! i barely saw that i was one of the top 8th last time! lol! he he he. i thought i lost. you skipped number 4. for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. lol. i'm so happy. i'll try to do it!!!!! thankz!

damn i have to find my dark side. lol. i wrote the poem when i was mad and all. but now i'm so happy. lol

Saint, was your last name "im.in.denial"? Sorry, just trying to figure it out lol. And no problem. =]

-Jenna.

Question, though. Does it have to pertain to the same story line? Or can it be...a different story? Just in case I'd like to change it, doubt I will though. =]

xDarkSuicidex

yep yep that was me!!!! lol

DOZEN ROSES [bad luck]

picture me with the dozen roses
hoping that i'll keep my life that i possess
but next i hit, crashing down on the floor
red and black, so dark was the color

bleeding by myself to death
trying to hold on to my limited breath
an hour i'm still there alive
i ask in confusion 'how did i survive?'

it's pretty weird what was going on
not knowing when it will end and everything is forever done
but i still stayed strong, even if i was bleeding
who knows what will happen, everything will be over without a warning

you come by and see me lying
too late to save me, i was dying
my death waited for you, on the exact time when you saw me
now you have regrets circling your mind, asking why it had to happen to me

i hope you like it. i have a little dark left in my heart. cuz i feel so damn happy. lol.

Lol, okay got it. And Saint, it only has to be 4 lines lol.

-Jenna.

And Dark, yes you can change the story line as long as it has to do with the same object.

-Jenna.

Um...do you have an example of a Lantern?

A Beating Heart; Part 2 {Quatrain}

A sample of heart is not deep beneath the chest,
Held in your hand is your heart to be behind the breast.
Squeezing tightly to your majestic treasure, you will not lose,
Unless letting go of your heart is what you choose.

---------------------------------------------------
I usually dispise writing short poems..but, I tried. I hope you enjoy. =]
(I also stuck to the same topic.)

Yeah, I did like it! Just change one thing hun, there is only one "o" in lose, in less your talking loose, like.. letting loose or whatever lol.

-Jenna.

Thank you for your kind words. I will try to get on this today, but it is so hard for me to sum up in a four line poem. I also want to know if it has to be dark. Can we put a positive twist on it? Can we make it longer than four lines?

It should stay dark. You can put a sad or angry or whatever affect to it. And it only has to be four lines.

The Dark Pool
By: Twisted Heart

Clear water has turned crimson, the man lights his cigarette
He takes the knife and wipes it off, on the shirt that clothes his chest.
The child lies lifeless in the pool, where he last took a breath
Before the killer came along and stabbed the boy to death.

Part 2...

Enjoy.

Veryg ood Twisted Heart. And thanks Jess.

-Jenna.

Is Twisted Heart's poem considered a Lantern?

No, thats not a lanturne, but its only 4 lines so it fits right? (im just butting in,, lol. idont belong erhe)

No, the one I posted by Natalie is a lantern up there. Twisted Hearts poem was just a regular quatrain so yeah it fits. Lantern is the next part of this contest, this is just the wuatrain part.

-Jenna.

Lol, awe. Yeah, I agree, they're hard. All the better though right? ;-) lol. Thanks for getting it done Darling!

-Jenna.

Bump... =[

oh sh**. srry. i thought u ment 4 stanzas. lol. ok, i'll do it. it looks pretty easy, i guess. lol.

DOZEN ROSES [meant to be]

a dozen roses you can see
and i eventually thought it was meant to be
i'm destined to die in your own bare hands
even though you don't want it to happen, you have to understand.

is that wat you're looking for JENNA? i hope it is. tell me if i'm wrong again

Candles (afterward)

A candle flickering at the sight of the moon
Presenting a nightly murder all too soon
With drenched hair and blood on her face
She stands before trial with undaunting grace

Saint, it is fine. And thank you for redoing it.

-Jenna.

lol you're oh so welcome!

The three who have not submitted theirs yet or even let me know they have seen this, will be getting an email tomorrow.

-Jenna.

BUMP....
BUMP....
BUMP....

Where do we stand on this one, guys.

Hm, sorry. Thanks for bumping this I had gotten busy and forgot to email them, will do so later tonight. =]

-Jenna.

Mmkai, the emailing is done. Thank you for your patience everybody! =]

-Jenna.

And one more thing, since I had gotten busy and emailed them two days late; I will now extend the deadline until October 20. And I will go from there.

-Jenna.

Three more days for those who haven't finished yet!

-Jenna.

Yeah it ended tonight, I will judge it tomorrow.

-Jenna.

Okay, since there were 3 that didn't do theirs, that just makes it easier for me to judge this. The last 5 had to write a lanturn. So the 5 that finished this part, write a lanturn. There will be no placings here, if I do decide to analyze your quatrains like I normally do in my other contests, I will add them here. Look for the post that says Jenna's Dark Poetry Contest; Part 3.

Thanks for the participation and patience, this is almost done. =]
