Poetry Contest

Write a poem about ‘yourself’, incorporating your five Reading List titles showcased on your profile

It doesn’t matter where your mind goes with the ink, as long as it’s about you      
 
Some poets use symbols, numbers, punctuations, unusual words, etc… for titles, so this should be hard for some and easy for others. That’s the fun of the challenge! You cannot remove words, add words or revise your titles to suit your flow. You cannot randomly select titles from your list; they must be the five highlighted on your profile at the time of your entry.


Title your poem using [size=4]one word
[/size]
Provide a link to your profile OR list your five titles along with your entry.

No word limit (but please, nothing too long)

One entry per poet

1 week

Have Fun!

*I realize reading lists can change during the running of the competition; I have a contingency plan for that*

PARAPHILIA
by kriticool


you said
welcome to my dark abyss
a dungeon of 3

adding
should be alotta fun
unique in transparency

while conservative as far as kink
we had all tweaked
the mood

that

.morning clown,
you, the evening shrew
and me
the wily dude

the aesthetics
they were brilliant, not
frightening
to us at
all

but the

hand stand
with the
feathered fan

there
aughta be a law

Resurfaced

The sweet fragrance
of Magnolia's in Bloom
Breakup the melancholy
of my deepening gloom
Me, Vanishing into your Regret
100 proof dipping
while you sip On His Lips
tonight I can no longer contain
long buried feelings that tore us apart
reliving Anorexic thoughts
from a Bulimic heart

'Upside down head' - Ennui
'my cap' - lightbaron
'artistic fatalism' - Miss Indie
'Daily Dose' - Question (Karrabear)
'The threefold personality of one divine being' - Missy

Displaced

These self poems
are always shrouded with artistic fatalism:
a lack of clear presentation,
to rival an abstract picture
titled 'Upside down head'
that forever eludes understanding
though the inuendo makes some chosen few smile.
They smack more
of some half-remembered treastise on humanity
with words and ideas of a forgotten age
that maybe is romanticised and never really was
with a strange epochal lesson
about the threefold personality of one divine being
to which the relevance has slid sideways
into the obscure.
A displaced anthology over time
chronicling nothing important to humanity
but maybe one day
important to some one else.
Each one is a far cry from my
'Daily Dose' on the forum
and a far cry between each other
ill-fitting in representation
as if a lampshade was my cap and headgear
yet displaying some of my soul in each one.


A brilliant idea for a competition that this laborious monstrosity does not quite do justice to.

Oh right, sorry. It did seem to being going too well. I suppose a hyphenation is out of bounds. 'Displaced' will have to do then. And please call me Viddax or V, otherwise the comments start to look like prayers for a God with all this 'Lord' stuff.
If it is alright the poem will keep the title 'Displaced Anthology' on my poem list but simply be titled 'Displaced' for this competition.

I'll be back soon.....
My Reading List   [ READ ALL ]
-  *for some comp here, forgot which NomahAsitori (LunaObscura)
-  Where? ScottSF21
-  Self Poems (about you and how you feel about yourself) edead
-  Descending Order Gerard (MGC)
-  she conjures, like destiny JohnFeddeler


Writer

She conjures like destiny
unavoidable and just as selfish
the dark pessimist who swears she's a realist
birthing old words in dirtier ways
in descending order to control the decay
she'll call it recycling or catharsis
for some comp here, forgot which

but they're all just introspection
up for interpretation in
self poems (about you and how you feel about yourself)
strewn across the pages in various states
of deterioration


the writer inside me
when she wants out
but never knows
where
she'll end up
or down

Wonderful entry Miki!


2 1/2 more days remaining!

Looking for at least five more brave poets to tackle this comp; that way, *I* won't have to judge the comp, I can pass the burden to my wonderful peers...lol

Come on Poets! Show me what you've got! Xo
