Lines Supplied poetry contest

This is open form and can be in any style you choose... but there's a catch :-)

All poems must contain these lines incorporated in a cohesive manner. You may not change the words around. They have to stay exactly the same. The poem can be about anything as long as all 12 lines are used. Poems should not exceed 30 lines. Only 15 entries so reserve your spot.
-----------------------EDIT--------------------------

I have noticed that some of the lines are being changed in some way to fit the poems. This is not allowed. The lines must stay EXACTLY as they were given. You may not add s-ed-ing- or any other ending sound to ANY of the lines or words. This is the challenge of the contest. To conform YOUR poem to the lines already supplied in a cohesive manner (a manner that makes sense). Please check as you write your poems to make sure you are using the lines correctly.

Bitter Yesterday's

Yesterday's gone in a cloud of dreams-
Though I know not where it went-
Leaving bitter sweet memories
Of hope and laughter spent;
A rhythm of passion and cruel loss
That slowly bleeds my soul,
And pounds in time with broken heart
To coldly take their toll-
While figments of the mind-
Like dead petals on the wind-
Whirl and twirl like smoke and fire
To a song that never ends.
Choked up by these shattered dreams,
I build a heart of stone-
As soft and passionate they rise
To caress me with their woe.

It CAN be done (and in less than 30 lines).... requires a lot of thought ...... but if I can do it, so can you. Come on.... more takers! You know you have it in you...

I would like to reserve a sopt

"Remembering Yesterday"

I use my rhyme of passion
to forget our bittersweet goodbyes

Remembering when we felt like petals on the wind
in my foggy cloud of dreams

All my laughter spent on you
was a laugh well spent

with my shattered dreams
and now heart of stone

I become choked up remember
all the things we use to do

We were like smoke and fire
When you get one you got the other

But your soft and passionate kisses
are just a figment of my mind

I am extremely down trodden
because yesterday's gone

Stephanie Naylor:

Please re-read the description of the contest. You have the idea but you have not used some of the lines the way they are presented. You may not change the words around. They have to stay exactly the same. Don't pull out of the contest though - just go in and edit these lines :-)

figment of my mind-----figments of the mind

rhyme of passion-------rhythm of passion

I'll reserve, but I don't know if I'll complete it.

No problem Hellon... It is only natural to be suspicious. I assure you though, I AM pretty good at what I do... I did not join out of some misplaced desire to jumble things up. I live to write. I breath poetry, I live poetry, I dream poetry :-D and I love being able to help others challenge themselves to new heights :-)

Soooo.... there are still spots left... come on folks! You know you wanna! It's new... unique.... CHALLENGING! And above all..... FUN :-D

-----------------------------EDIT-------------------------
With a heart of stone
I remember that yesterday's gone
And all I am left with are bitter sweet shattered dreams
Of laughter spent on a cloud of dreams.
Love and 'Forever' -
Just figments of the mind.
Who was to think that such a soft and passionate
Rhythm of passion
Could become like rose petals on the wind
And end all choked up, dead,
By the smoke and fire
From the flames of Love and Life...

Thank you... G.D.R

Hey Josie.... Yes, it is! Thank you for editing :-)

I'll try it, if i may reserve

I hope this one is ok, i just wrote it because your contest sounded like a challenge to me, but here it is and thank you for a different contest to challenge me with. aswell just to make it more of a challenge i used them in the exact order you have them in.

memories of our love

In a cloud of dreams
Laughter spent together
Soft and passionate hugs
Smoke and fire ignited in our hearts
Choked up in all this love
Bitter sweet kisses I thought were fake
Figments of the mind with the memories we shared
Petals on the wind as I walked down the aisle
Rhythm of passion as our hearts beated as one
Now we are apart, I have a heart of stone
Shattered dreams and memories of what we once had
But now today is here and yesterdays gone.

I do not have the happiness, the joy, the love
I only have the memories of my one angel from above
For my angel was taken from me
Now the memories we shared is all I can see

Is there anyone else who would like to give this a try? If not, this contest will close early. For thos of you who have reserved a spot and not completed your poem, please do so. If no one else enters I will close this in 4 days.

Thanks all...
G.D.R

"It's Whatever You Want It To Be"

Choked up
On the
Smoke and fire
In your lungs
Loss of breath
Laughter spent
Discover
Vision blurred
Yesterday's gone

Heart of stone and
Path unknown
Shattered dreams,
Bittersweet figments of the mind
Comforting memories
Soft and passionate
Intriguing,
Teasing your senses

Cloud of dreams
Now unseen
Petals on the wind
Untangible,
Unreachable,
Moving to
Your own
Rhythm of passion
