enter the DARK zone

you have now entered into the DARK zone

no matter who you are, emotions effect us all... you can dismiss, disguise, conceal, cloak, cover, screen, hide, paint, mystify, reserve, camouflage, relinquish, abandon, banish, eject, defy, confront, brave, challenge, dare, employ, engage, embrace, hold, alienate and the list goes on.

in our world there are many constants. many things stand as concrete as they never change. humans will always go through a changing process in their lives as we are driven by our emotions. what follows is your task at hand:

write about how or what you feel about me(theDARK1)

write about how or what you feel about yourself

write about how or what you feel about someone else

those things i stick in there what you know to be rules.

1. no pre-writes (the only reason i even say it is for those new admirers that don't know this rule).

2. any styleform (again, just for the new followers since everyone knows this one too).

3. up to 3 entries (one for each choice...you won't have to list it as it will be evident of your entry).

4. closes january 30, 2004 (i want to give plenty of time for this is something you might need to think about).

NOTE: by the way, itz always policy that i wish you luck now for i will not do it on your entry (i forgot to put this statement in the last contest and is why i commented like i did on the entries in contest #10).

the DARK zone

a soul without boundaries
floating in the DARK endlessly
a heart without a beat
flatlined on a lonely DARK street
the body limber in the night
engulfed in DARKness without light
only in the end to be alone
itz time to enter the DARK zone

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on February 1, 2004
  • Rewards: Gold: 317
  • Final notes:
    this contest became bigger than i could imagine. itz now officially worth a total of 802 points at the closing of this contest. i have spent hours reviewing all of the entries in this contest and it was not an easy task. i have done something different in this contest for i have selected 11 winners. trust me that there could have been more than what i have selected. even the ones that i selected may not be better than the ones not being selected, but this was an 'emotional' contest and i judged it based on my emotions as to what i read.

    First Place Winner (Gold Trophy) The Darkness That Lies Within by meesa p

    35pts The Mournful Me by poetryality

    12pts Dark Storm by aloneintheworld
    07pts light to dark back to light by Shaggys Wife
    05ptsDark man by TheOneRomeo

    i was wanting to get to all of the entries, but i must retire these eyes for an hour or two because i must be leaving for work soon. if i have not made a comment on your poem i will do it before itz judged if not before then. time does have an ending cycle in itz measurement even if it does not know when to end in infinity.

    there were alot more entries that i still need to read later today and comment on. then i will review all of the poems one more time and make my decisions. i can tell you this will not be an easy contest to judge for i received so many great entries not to include the ones i have yet to read (which i am sure that it will make my job even tougher). at least i will have it all judged by the end of the day (feb 01, 2004).

    sam,

    it was very deserving. i liked how there were many personal entries in this contest. i just wish i could give every one a prize and points. i did spend 802 points on this contest. i probably won't have any more until april 2004 after the contest i have for the ShadowedOne for i plan to take two vacations in march 2004 now. so many will probably see me very little during the next month. i will be on and off i am sure. anyway, you are very welcome.

    luvya, DARK
