Poetry Contest
Well, we haven't had one of these in a while, have we? Time for a new one, I say! Welcome, resident poets!
The rules are pretty simple. I am the first judge. I will give you a theme, and you must write a poem relating to the theme. Be creative with your interpretations! I will then judge the entries by a set date, and the winner will then be the next judge, and set the next theme. And so on, and so forth.
The first theme will be... *dramatic drumroll*
Stars! Whether you chose to write about the kind of stars you wish on, or the kind that take the stage, I will be eagerly awaiting your sparkly, shiny, beautiful poems. Have them in by... Saturday, March 18. Two weeks. Sound fair?
I hope to see your poems soon!

I'm not sure if I should post this poem as it's not 100% related to the theme ? But I mean hey let's do this.
In the Afternoon Sky
Blow the wind dry and climb the wall high as whispers are heard in the afternoon sky
New leaves are thrown and friends start to drone as secrets go fly to the sound of a moan
Whisper
Your
Life
Your
Secrets
To me
Whisper
Your
The old man shows them the way to go home as they talk and they walk and they see the new Rome
Rundown by age and old with weary he knows oh he knows yes he knows what they know
Whisper
Your
Enemies
Your
Thoughts
Your
Plans
Your
Whispers are passed and moments are trashed as giggles are cast
The friends that look now will stab at sundown as whispers fly down to the afternoon crowd.

I hope this counts as whispering-and hope you enjoy!!
When The Wind Blows ~~~
When the wind blows It whispers in your ears- Whispers to the world It blows your hair And slaps your face It doesn't care
Whe the wind blows It kills the Autum leaves Tearing the from their branches- Pulling them from their home It doesn't care
When the wind blows It whispers secrets unknown To the beautiful sky and land and sea It whispers to you Tricking you with its whispering secrets Until you whisper your secrets in turn

When The Wind Blows
~~~~~~~~~
When the wind blows
It whispers in your ears-
whispers to the world
It blows your hair
And slaps your face
When the wind blows
It kills the Autum leaves-
Tearing them from their branches-
Pulling them from their home
Whe the wind blows
It whispers secrets unknown
To the beautiful land and sky and sea
It whispers to you-
Tricking you with its secrets
Until you whisper your secrets in turn

whisper to me
----
i like how at night,
when it's dark,
the street noise whispers through
my window, drifting right over
the sultry night air
when i sleep with my blankets off
and the streetlights fade out,
the cars going by make me a
lullaby of home to send me
to sleep

I think my theme wasn't the best, seeing as a) there are very few entries and b) none of them are really about whispers, but that's okay!
In third place, we have... HarmonicKitten! I liked the way your poem rhymed and the interspersed one-word lines and long sentence-like lines. I didn't feel, though, like there was any cohesive story and I was kind of confused. I definitely recognize that it's hard to make rhymes, though!
In second place, we have... Sunshine Wings! Your poem made me feel kind of warm and happy (I don't know exactly why
(July 5, 2019 - 7:55 pm)
Whoa, I think your post got cut off or something. Um, am I in first place?
It wasn't a bad theme, I think the Poetry Contest has just been dwindling for a while now. It's not been very well populated.
(July 6, 2019 - 8:19 am)
YAY! 2ND PLACE!!!! but who's in first?
(July 6, 2019 - 9:28 am)
Congrats, Sunshine Wings!
(July 11, 2019 - 2:50 am)
Um. Yes, I guess my post was cut off. :) Here's the rest:
...exactly why). It was really hard to choose between you and Leafy.
In third place, we have... Leafy! I liked your sporadic line breaks and the way you wove a picture without really describing anything. Nice job!
(July 6, 2019 - 2:46 pm)
Ah! Okay. (I guess you meant first place...? Gosh that sounds haughty of me) Thank you very much! I'll try to post a theme tomorrow.
(July 6, 2019 - 5:59 pm)
*first. Not third. What is it with me and typos today?
(July 6, 2019 - 7:02 pm)
Third place, not bad! I was writing a bit on a whim, so thanks XD
(July 14, 2019 - 8:27 pm)
All right, everyone! The next theme is hands, and the deadline is July 21st, two weeks from now. You can post poems on the 21st, but make sure they're in before the 22nd. Happy writing!
