A Duel of Poets (2) Invite Only!

Hello to all!

This contest is for the following poets ONLY:
Wolf Mistress
DeathDolly
dillpikle62

x Empathic Rose x
Bazza
Ennovy
Amaranthine Lover
Poetic Tash
LadyDementia
Laura Lamarca
Brazos
Anjole-Of-Artz

You know the concept of this contest from the last round, but if you’re still confused about it, go here: http://allpoetry.com/contest/show/2396819 to read the description again, or IM me and I’ll explain it to you. Once again, I’ve paired you up two and two (again, this has been done at random) and I’ve given each pair a prompt (again – this has also been at random).
Both poets in pair 1, will write an individual poem of prompt 1 and so on.

The pairs are:
1. Wolf Mistress - Anjole-Of-Artz
2. DeathDolly - dillpikle62
3. SerenityNChains - Ennovy
4. x Empathic Rose x - Brazos
5. Amaranthine Lover - Emile
6. LadyDementia - Bazza
7. Laura Lamarca - Poetic Tash

I expect all of you to enter, since you all knew this was a round contest.

The prompts are:
1. Weakness
2. Unknown
3. Key
4. Innocence
5. Silence
6. Nothingness
7. Silliness

So that’s it. You write a poem inspired by the prompt you’ve been given. This is round 2, where 14 poets are duelling, which is a total of 7 pairs. Out of each pair, one poet will win the duel and proceed to the next round, which will be with the same concept as this one.

Rules:
- Put your AP screen name, prompt and name of opponent in your author notes
- No chat speak
- No dirty pretty
- No prose
- Play nicely. No bashing of other poets and their work.
- You can only enter once.
- Try to comment on the other entries

So that’s about it! I will try to comment on all entries, but I will not applaud any!
Have fun!

  • Final notes:
    Hello to all!
    So this was a really successful contest! Only two people didn’t enter, so I’m quite happy with it. Also, everybody proved that there is a reason why you are on the list of my favourite poets. I enjoyed reading all of your poetry, as it was just superb! The poets who ended up with no opponents are proceeding. Everybody else fought very well, and I’m only sorry that I can’t give you all a trophy and let your proceed. But if I did that, this contest would never end, so after a lot of consideration, this is the final winners:

    Wind Chimes… by Wolf Mistress (HM)
    Walking The Dark by dillpikle62
    Padded Locks by SerenityNChains (Silver)
    Innocence Pattern by x Empathic Rose x
    Arms of Silence by Emile (Gold)
    Sable Embrace by LadyDementia
    Star-Streaked Impressions by Laura Lamarca (Bronze)

    The four trophy winning poems are simply amazing, and I’ve spend so much time just rereading them. They are very close to what I would call perfection. You should all read them!

    Congratulations to the winners! All 7 of the poets who are proceeding will receive a message from me soon with the details of the next and last contest.

    Thank you all!
    Snow White <3
