Poetry Contest Description
An endless dreamscape of dark...
The original poster said:
When the demons take over, which side emerges victorious? Write about the battles you have endured, writhing on the hook of the darkest demon. Does the struggle still rage inside? Can the light emerge victorious?..
Write from either the dark or the light side, your choice. However, the structure has to be three lines, six words per line.
Example:
This demon I embrace within its
realm. It swoops down and sinks
its venomed fangs into my flesh.
SIX words per line, 3 lines total.
This is an endless competition, so languish here, escape if you can... from the eternal darkness.

Let the knights slay the dragons
let the restless wandering spirits return
vengeance is theirs this haunting hours
let the restless wandering spirits return
vengeance is theirs this haunting hours

Mist covered cliffs shroud sacred mountains
thy jagged spikes, jut against sky.
Piercing a Heaven with malformed intent
thy jagged spikes, jut against sky.
Piercing a Heaven with malformed intent

Moon over my many wandered nights
shine your light piercing county veil .
The fog lies thick, killing view
shine your light piercing county veil .
The fog lies thick, killing view

the dragons were chased at night
smoke was bubbling from under water
the mountain erupted in fiery lava

Dragons clutch precious pearls, sacred wisdom
curls on wind, talon and whisker.
Twisting shapes with eternal flame, glide.

The darkness is absolute around me
Purity with the scent of grave
Left wide open decaying and eternal

Left wide open decaying and eternal

Decaying flesh falls unto the new.
This journey so many graves beckon
let death come swift, offer beginnings.

Fingers dig in the child-like mind
exposed nerve, twitches leg, kicks
Those moments of pride- brain surgeons

Dregs of society, bleed in parking-lots
They shot one another, falling down.
It was a usual evening, sad
They shot one another, falling down.

The last gasp was heard aloud
fiery dragon shot by magic arrows
from the bows of dark knights

The great wyrm screamed in fury
Drenched me with those cleansing flames
Through fire and shadow I stand
Drenched me with those cleansing flames
Through fire and shadow I stand

Toes over coals, stretched upon rack
the dark age defied sense, reason.
Lessons gleamed from an enlightened time.
