Poetry Contest Description
write a cryptic poem
Ok,
Write A cryptic poem. let's say five to eight lines.
Could be an object or an event.Make sure it's hard enough to figure out but not impossible.
rhyming is cool but not necessary
It's totally acceptable for people to guess what the poems describe.
I think if someone guesses right then the person who wrote it should say.
whether or not your riddle is figured out will have no bearing on the end results.
I s'pose keep it to three entries and if you have an old one that's fine too.
putting a one week duration on it.

exploding; tears all inside us
growling; we know its presence
escaping; to make everyone scatter
ensuring; the airs hard to breathe
spreading; all around quick and freely
controlling; the life of all who let it

My friend
I've got this friend...
not just any friend, a very special friend.
Was the first friend I ever had
and will certainly be the last.
You are all more than acquainted.
Some of you fear, some love,
some of you don't appreciate
my friend.
An extremely peculiar and most
unpredictable relationship.
As a small child I remember
she allowed a rhinoceros to charge
through my house destroying everything,
while I hid in a cupboard.
She'd float me down the stairs sometimes,
and make me watch myself die.
She would dig old bones from
forgotten memories and
parade them in front of me,
then sometimes she'd
refresh my spirit and dress me up in smiles.
Some have said she's the cousin of death,
my friend.
That cannot be with such life and
healing strength.
No, I believe her to be
the twin of night and the widow of a stretch.
We'll all be seeing her later
I suppose
My Friend.
It's not an entry but it kind of fits the bill and I wanted to get it out there.
