** You do not have to use the word iconoclast in your poem, you can have it as an emotional boundary, a meaning, or just a reference.

Creativeness is a plus! A huge plus!

I will give it a try, please reserve a spot for me.

Thanks in advance.

Reserve please :)

The Pursuit of Nothingness [ Contest Entry ]
=================

"Happiness" is a farce
I could not possibly exist
It is just an imaginary emotion
To give the world a twist.

"Happiness" is only a traditional thought
Accepted as reality world wide
Taken for granted by nations
The true meaning is only implied.

How could such a thing be real
When such a state could never really be achieved
I used to think it was possible
But I was wrong in what I believed.

Going against traditional belief
Proving that "happiness" is not real
It is not something that you can see
Or something that you can feel.

The reason that I know it is fake
That it could not possibly be true
Is because the only way I could be happy
Is by being with you.

Our love and come and past
My imaginary "happiness" has dissolved
My happiness left when you walked out the door
The answer to my question is solved.

Reserve please

Reserve, please =)

Five reserves.

You guys need to get them in. I don't PM about contests anymore, so hopefully you're checking.

People can still reserve as well.

I'm hoping for a better outcome than this, eh.

Well here's mine.

Vestal Virgin

*Vestal virgin: A young unmarried woman whose duty was to keep the holy fire burning in the temple of Vesta (the goddess) and she was executed (buried alive) if the fire went out, which meant she had had a love experience.

A humming tune sounds through the night
An echo of delicate music fills the vast temple
Shadows sway along to the crackle of the fire
Morphing as it dwindles and grows

The beauty of a Yucca faintly appears
Lighted by the mystical dance of the flames
Porcelain skin of a fist-full of flowers
Lethal needles surround virgin beauty

Distanced eyes prying beyond
A dark cluster of wheat uncovering
Blurs of silver glittering secretly
In the wings of a magical moth

Gliding forth unto her heart
A graceful touch sends it shuddering
Their souls are clamped together as one
She refuses to be driven into vulnerability

Yet he asks for more, greedy for love
For her to leave the fire exposed to die
And awaken the ashes of his hidden passion
Or she will be forbidden of the needs of the heart

With the spate of events eating at her heart
She glimpses to her fate if she followed her emotions
And falls to the pit of her fate as she traverses
Her judgment is cleft, her post abandoned

Dancing fire fading, pungent with treason
Thunder a sign of the goddesses rage
Winds follows in blows of heavy ashes
Burying the passion of the lovers beneath

Tomorrow at noon I will be doing the judging

(It is 6:23 PM as of now)

As I've said before - I don't PM about contests, so hopefullly you're paying attention

And, anyone who wants to enter without reserve can as of now, there's not many entered and we need a few more.

Winner: Dark Secrets.

Please leave titles or I will do random ones. And, by random I mean close my eyes and where the mouse lands is where it lands.
