Reflections,
All I see are distant reflections in the deep cool water
All dark and dead,
no light behind the eyes
The trees rattle in the cold wind around me, as night closes in
I am entranced
Pulled deeper and deeper
Into the rushing waters
Forever staring into the reflection
I fall, slipping deeper and deeper down
Hands hard on my back
I clutch for air...Nothing
And as my body sinks to the murky depths of the freezing water
The night closes around us...
And she walks home leaving me lost
At the bottom of the lake and walks into the clear starry night...
(I gave you my poem up above because I think that everyone writes better with a little motivation.)
Know write...
Topics
1. Write about the slipping that you feel in your soul. The lostness that you feel when locked inside your own head.
2. Write about the eternal life...How you think it works (this can go in any direction you want it too)
3. Write me a poem about the mysterious...But please don't make these life a mystery...
4. Panthers. On the wall in my room there is a big drawing of a black panther walking through the forest that my mom drew. I don't want a poem about this drawing but a poem about panthers in general. If this one sounds like something you want to write about but your still stuck I have a poem about panthers called Demon in my View...But please don't steal anything from it.
5. Write about anything...
Know even the best contest has rules...
Rules
1. I know that I said that you could write about anything, but I'm not a real big person on love...So NO love poems. No exceptions.
2. I love all types of poems, but I cant seem to get into a poem that doesn't flow. Don't force yourself to sit there and write. Thats not the way its done. If nothing come to you...DON'T enter this contest. I want this poem to come from your soul.
3. I have the right to disqualify any poem that does not fit my rules...Just so you all know. And if I do not get enough entries I will prolong the contest...So watch out for this. And you can enter as many times as you want to. Pre writes are excepted although I would much appreciate it if you would enter something recently felt...
4. After the title in () You must put the number of the category you chose. If you do not do this I will disqualify you...because you did not read my directions. Although because even I make mistakes I will give you a warning to go back and reread the directions...
I hope you all enter!

Hey, great contest idea. Anything that involves delving inside ones self is definately worth looking at. I've kind of been getting a little too deep inside of myself lately, so I don't think I'm going to enter this, plus you have alot of entries anyway. Well I hope you have a nice time judging this and good luck! Peace. ((Shadow-dweller))

SOrry I couldn't put my number selection on my poem "Mental" but I chose number one...I couldnt add anything because it was a prewrite....I hope I'm not disqualified for that
