The Fantasy Element

Before you jump the gun on me I'm not looking for J.R.R Tolkien style fantasy, I want soft, almost ethereal fantasy. Mystifying, and Fantastical. Not too heavy on faeries, elves, dragons etc... oh and just to make sure NO erotic fantasy either. Make it intangible, something so brilliantly magical and if you can keep it dark but if not that's perfectly fine as well.


Winner takes the most I'm just looking for something said in the above, yet so different and so unique.

Prewrites welcome but i do look more at newly created pieces. I love rhyme but I'm no stranger to free verse =) Only one entry allowed per person

Oh and I forgot to mention, I will comment on all poems but I will wait towards the end so as to keep it anonymous!

The rules
---------
1. No sticky Caps
2. No foul language
3. No erotica
4. No dirty Pretty
5. No cutter poems yadda yadda..
6. Be nice, no bashing.

I will DQ if I feel I must and I may make a limit on the entries depending. If i totally fail at getting entries well then ...darn. Good luck!!

EDIT: I decided to add a silver trophy because there are too many I like haha. Good luck.

    I am not surprised that all your winning poems were "previously written". The brief time-span allowed to Allpoetry competitions means that "new" works tend to be rushed and not to allow the mature consideration over many weeks or months that in most cases is needed to bring a poem to its peak condition.
