Titles # 1

The titles I want you to use are given below.

You must use any one of them as the title of your poem (like you didn't get that).

Amaze me.

Not too long, unless it's incredibly brilliant. Stick with a safe length, though. I tend to have different ideas as to what's brilliant.

Titles are listed in the order of how much I want you to use it, starting with the one that will impress me most -

BUT. if everyone enters the same title, it won't impress me much at all...so beware...
I'd like it if ALL the titles were used. Points have a better chance of going up then...


1. Red Roses & Petrol
2. English Roses & Espresso
3. Take What You Take
4. The Water Is Wide
5. Walking On A Wire
6. November Sun
7. As It Falls Apart


Have fun! points MAY go up. I stress MAY. Depends on how many contests I win from now till then.

    Wow...I simply loved the quality of entries for this contest....I had a hard time judging it! Congratulations to the winners...and to all you others, because each write was brilliant but apparently you are allowed to give a limited number of trophies.

    It's too late but I'll post anyway

    I know it's too late but I had already written the poem.

    Walking on a Wire December 11, 2008

    Penguins fornicate
    on the New England Ferry
    Night castrates
    our dreams
    and so we die alone.
    The monsters face extinction

    Wires bind the wrists.
    Lonely wanderers fill the streets,
    enumerating us all.
    Master Theif,
    where is the manna we were promised?

    The Guardians have slept.
    Urges go unsatisfied.

    Wire gods, bind us with your illusions.
    Let us enter into the mystery of your flesh

    Angel master, who do you confess?
    Kisses are for those servants of God
    still true.
    Mordecai, Satan has sent for you.

    Whiskey ministers arise throughout the land.
    Those who pray shall meditate.
    Drink now the blood from the chalice.
    We all only walk on wires.

    Mistress fire
    elevate me unto fame.
    Drunk, writing my name
    on the grain elevator,
    send a shooting star to let me know I am victorious.
    Old words are assembled into new thoughts.
    We shall live




    for there are Gospels Newly Constructed.
