Broken Angel [English Sonnet]
By: Twisted Heart

A sweet little angel with tattered wings
Upon the dusty cloud, she rests her feet
So tired is she, her voice no longer sings
As she hangs her head in humbled defeat.

Her halo is hanging just out of reach
Tears gather up in her lost, lonely eyes
She's hurt by the humans who flaunt their greed
And sting each other with perilous lies.

Each new day she sees the killing in war
No compassion shown to the fellow man
And though she has seen this tableau before
It's something that she just don't understand.

So now she waits for the killing to still,
Perched in the corner of God's windowsill.

Sonnet:
A Shakespearean (English) sonnet has three quatrains and a couplet, and rhymes abab cdcd efef gg

Haha, Terra, it is not confusing, just think harder lol. Gotta get people thinkin for a contest ma'dear ;) . Twisted, I've never seen that form of an Italian Sonnet, it was trippy lol.

-Jenna.

oh jeeze jenna... lol what to do with my scissors???

Prizes now updated...

Terra
So sorry, was having to take instructions from a book online and highlighted the wrong info. Got it straight, now.

Hey Jenna,
No more trippy. Fixed the problem. Does it read better now?

Happiness
Jeannie

Jeannie- thats a beauty :) and it reads much better... but shouldnt it rhyme better with only war instead of wars?

Haha, I'm sorry Dear. Yeah,it did. I'm sorry, I just had to point that out lol, because I love writing Italian Sonnets and I have written a few of them now, and I was just wondering why mine didn't look like that lol. Sorry =[

-Jenna.

No prob. I have read a few of your Italian sonnets and I couldn't understand it myself. Should've read yours more carefully. Had to get the correct definition from Terra's other poem contest.

Terra, corrected the mistake. Thanx.

Lol, Italian Sonnets are my favorite. I find the Iambic Pentameter way hard to follow. But your sonnet it very good! =]

-Jenna.

-Tinted Petals.-

Love sick lullabies play through the cracks in her heart
Whispering lies and deceptions into your ears
As her fingers trace down your spine, a soft shudder
Embers fade out from the hearth of the tragic art.

The bed of roses is filled with cyanide darts
Draped over white sheets of nicotine smoke
Laying elegantly beside your still body; singing - -
Love sick lullabies play through the cracks in her heart.

Her moonlit sword tears your tattered soul apart
Your icy eyes upon her face of stone; you fade
Cheap champagne rusts away your memory
Embers fade out from the hearth of the tragic art.

Love sick lullabies play through the cracks in her heart
A bed of tinted petals painted with your blood - -
Embers fade out from the hearth of the tragic art.

A Villonnet is a hybrid of the Villanelle and the Sonnet. It has the Iambic Pentameter of both, but holds the four-stanza/line structure of the Sonnet, while utilizing the two-line rhyme nature of the Villanelle. The final stanza replaces the Sonnet couplet with a typical Villanelle tercet.

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

There ya go Darling. I wrote your Villonnet for ya lol.

-Jenna.

Purple Skies [Terzanelle]
by ♥ .J.є.ѕ.ѕ.у. ♥

Floating on fluffy clouds in the bright purple sky
Flying away from sorrow, fulfilling her dreams
Losing all sad memories, her tears she does dry

Another galaxy she enters; perfect it seems
Sunsets reflect on her face, colors are released
Flying away from sorrow, fulfilling her dreams

On newfound happiness and love she does feast
Discovering so much more, seeing all in new eyes
Sunsets reflect on her face, colors are released

Wiping away the dirt, breaking the webs of her lies
Turning over a new leaf, stepping out of old skin
Discovering so much more, seeing all in new eyes

Slowly clearing her slate, destroying the evil within
Washing her insides, leaving them pure and white
Turning over a new leaf, stepping out of old skin

Her view on life suddenly revived, she lives again
Floating on fluffy clouds in the bright purple sky
Washing her insides, leaving them pure and white
Losing all sad memories, her tears she does dry

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `
A Terzanelle is a 19 line poem consisting of five interlocking triplets plus a concluding quatrain in which the first and third lines of the triplet appear as refrains. The middle line of each triplet is a repetent reappearing as the last line of the succeeding triplet with the exception of the next-to-last stanza which appears in the quatrain.

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

Innocence

The lamentations of Fall have disappeared,
The innocence of Winter is born,
Leaves disintegrating in presences of God,
The preciousness of Winter is here-by sworn.

Eight-thousand moons circle the emerging earth,
Pursuing light to see a sparkling treasure,
Of the plentiful moons against glorious snow,
Speaking of merriment, speaking of pleasure.

Snow so precious, a calling of names;
From earth itself, cascading,
Bringing memories of Angels,
Never forgetting, yet ever fading.

Setting comfortably amongst the earth,
Hugging the ground with helplessness,
Whispering to it, singing praise,
To the ground the snow will caress.

Eight-thousand emotions of the moon,
Talking to them guiltily, hangs over snow,
Whispering of their sorries,
As from the sky snow gently flows.

A beautiful sight, shining with joy,
Sharing stories of love and care,
Whispering of inspiring innocence,
Amongst the snow so bright and fair.

Shades of Black [Quadruple Senryu]
by ×ciaO bEllA×

Shades Of Black
Running Down From Her Eyes
Crying So Softly

Shades Of Black
Something That She Hides
She Is So Afraid To Show

Shades Of Black
Mixed In With Crimson Blood Red
The Pain Is Released

Shades Of Black
No Longer Their Problem Girl
Now Only A Soul

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
A Senryu has the same structure as a Haiku, (A poem with a syllable count of 5/7/5) but instead of the focus being on nature, it is on human emotions. This is usually only one stanza, but it may have more.

7 left ... and who will write?

~*~"Painted"~*~

Shifting smile
Darting eyes
Drying tears
Soundless cries

Whisk the brush
Across my skin
Hope to conceal
The pain within

Another layer
Another coat
Silence held
Within my throat

Now a mime
All can see
My fake smile
For eternity

Lies portrayed
Lies believed
By an audience
Too blind to see

Part well played
No one knows
For my secrets
Do not show

Tears hidden
Thoughts concealed
Mask artificial
Painted, not real
