@ Charly P, if you call your addressee by name it will be easier for us to know to whom you are speaking.  Grin

MIDNIGHT

When roses shed pearl-like tear drops
And the moon instructs the bat it's dart
And the quantized snores of croaking frogs
Keeps the toddler afear the dark;
When cheetahs hide their young in rocks
And wolves howl prayers at the moon
And starving snakes opt chewing dock
That grows around man's ancient tombs:

I'm awake, the world's asleep.

'And the Contest Begins


The very fearless lead the lines,
On horses in front of their destiny,
Trampling on humans like swines,
Those who run after their destiny.

The contest shouldn't be about that struggle,
A battlefield for some struggling creative warlords,
It should be a fluid war,
An enigmatic display like the fatality of Arabian swords.

A mercenary christened Franc,
An imaginative poetic painter with lots of flair,
The numeral uno among your rank,
A genius with the artistic sight of a seer.

These really aren't lines,
My fatal introduction with rhymes,
a Samurai pulling off his mask,
An honourable way to victory as you slum and bask.

Ain't gonna strike with your back turned champ,
I let you see the face before the stamp,
Just hope you don't switch camp,
Cos you're in for the tramp.

You are trying to be good,
So don't go making noise,
We're on recess and it'll soon be good,
Till then, play by the rules.

franc, macalurs, and Genial

you have all really outdone yourselves. now your all confusing me cos i dont know who to choose as the best.

macalurs,
simple, but straight to the point.

franc,
nice introduction, i see you've already made youself numero uno

Genial,
I love the way you play with words. The flow of your poem is unique to you. I can now see your poem without your name and know its you.

For me the winner out of "midnight", "and the contest begins" and  "the hunt" is

The hunt
but the others are still very good.

ok guys come up with some more, while i continue to think of my poem  Smiley

   No judge am I,
   each poem's great
   in its own way.

   Grin

Franc1982, thanks. I took your compliment as a justification to write a poem for myself. Probably, when a girl is good with words herself, guys are to shy to write her love poems.  Cry So I just wrote one for myself!  Grin

Genial boo, welcome to franks thread Grin

But hey I'll give you that one. I liked it.


The new challenge for me is writting about mundane topics, and cutting out all the enigma for now.

Frank's really pissed, he's cranked two poems for "champ" already. . . . I'm in for some gore.

        Nilla

Under the clear sky at night
The full moon is shining, smiling
The pool glitters, sparkles, glimmers
On grassy green garments of life
The fragrance of spring for her smile vying
Is a glorious vision, vista, Nilla.

Her shiny hair, her flowing mane
Eyes like a thousand stars,
Fluttering lashes, like dazzling darts
Sparkling diamonds in her gaze
Soft sweet lips, full of promise
Shimmering, rosy, hues of burgundy
Twin peaks alluring, so very turgid
Straining, striving, pleading to be easy

Soft hands, oh so, so soft!
Softer, even sweeter, touch
Swooning, pleasure, transport, rapture
Searching, fumbling for the precious circle
One hand in hers, one bended knee
Saying, Nilla, will you marry me?
