Life isn't taking me where I want to go. Have you ever felt this way? If so, then enter...and tell me why again god-forsaken is beautiful too.
What will be appreciated:
-imagery
-free verse
-nothing preachy (for heaven's sake I don't need a sermon or oodles of 'but god loves you, sweetie-pie'...I'm not suicidal...just depressed. lol)
-honest viewpoints
-it doesn't have to have a happy ending...but it's alright if it does
-enter as many times as you wish...although fresh writes are definitely more appreciated, but I understand that you might not be in that place anymore, yet want to share about the time you were
That's all.
*reserve the right to not comment...or yammer on and on about how this piece touched me and how it has turned all my yellows into sugar-iced cookies (but don't bet the farm on that).
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on June 22
- Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 150, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: Thank you everyone for entering. I deeply enjoyed all the entries, but the winners are the ones that spoke to me the most. I urge you to read all the finalists if you're into excellent poetry. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
Thanks to these entries, I feel that I've started to find a small and shallow pool of faith. In the end, whether or not god is in the equation, I believe everything happens for a reason and for everything there is a razor...oops! Sorry, forget that end part. lol
Really though, it'll all find its way in time...so says Tori. Awomen.
Again, my thanks.

This looks like a job for Mr. Black.
-

HOORAY!! I've got your favorite table near the balcony, Mr. Black. I assume you're wanting the 1879 Beaujolais avec succulent red roast and radishes?
Excellent choice as always, monsieur. -

"CLINK!"

100 entries per person??? Holy hot tamales you're asking for some bleeding eyes. Methinks you are a bit more depressed than you're letting on, if you're willing to take on that type of punishment.
Lets see if I can summon up something... I'm good and depressed right now so maybe it'll stir up something. Doubtful. Poetry is my unicorn right now. -
-
I know...what was I thinking? (Hint: hanging myself obviously, lol) But I swear I won't be depressed even if someone enters 100 really badly written poetry just as long as you enter ONE good one. So pretty pwease? Go find that fuckin' unicorn and enter something juicy, dammit!
-
-
lol 34 entries and only six people entered..
-
-
I know. how sad is that?
But you can be the SEVENTH person entered and then I'll be happy!
-

my poetry is God-forsaken...not beautiful
-
-
Oh honey, you don't know what godforsaken is after what I've read. lol Right now, your crappiest would be sheathed in Gabriel's blessed wings and polished halo.
And I really don't want beautiful, per se. Just honest and from the soul. That's all...nothing you can't handle, toots.
-
-
-
-
Sheesh. People really do jump at the chance to shove every single piece they've ever written down your throat.
I'll keep my eye on this.
-
-
YES! Don't just keep an eye on this, mate...I want your whole head and torso all up in the mofo!
And yes, curse those that shove their poetry down our throats...even though I kinda sorta in a weird way asked for it...yeah. lol

Oh shit, if I didn't know that your soul was sugar donuts, I'd say that you were headed for hell for that comment.
But that's why I love you...

I'm not entirely sure my entry was what you were looking for but before last week I felt the exact same way. Infact, I almost began to doubt myself.. as if God didn't exsist. And then I wrote the poem I've entered into your contest and things slowly began falling into place in that tiny area in my life. If it's not what you're looking for though, I'll understand. (:
