It can be in any form, as long as you explain it.
Has to be associated with the picture.
No need to reserve.

DEADLINE:

No deadline yet, once we get more people in this the I will decide.

PRIZES:

First place- 5 in-depth comments

I will change the deadline if needed but this is going to be a quick contest and I will probably host one every week or two on a new picture.

Everyone who enters will receive one comment on a poem of their choice.

Since no one has entered yet, I will most likely extend the deadline a week later. Please post here to let me know if you are interested...I would just like to know, thank you!

Hey Luna, since it makes you think of dwarves, you could do it about them if you wanted. As long as you incorprated the scenary above their homes and put the picture with it too! :)

Can't wait to read your entry!

I will probably extend the deadline since I know Luna Blue is going to enter. Are there any more entries or people interested? I would like a lot more people joining, please.

Ill also give it a try, who knows how it'll turn out lol

Thank you very much, I will look forward to reading your entry. Try to get it in when you can, but don't rush.

I'm going to enter this contest as well, if that's alright. ^^

To Be Whole

Sometimes, when you are gone
i need some peace and quiet
I need to rest my head
because in there it is a riot

Then I walk alone
I go, and very far too
It's a simple necessity
It's what I need to do

Finally I end up in nature
nature in its truest form
I walk between the fireflies
and instantly feel reborn

I can finally sit still
upon a big, smooth rock
try to understand the thoughts
that I had during my walk

it makes me feel so tiny
to sit beneath this tree
then again, when I had my time
afterwards, I feel carefree

When I complete my walk
An entire day has almost passed
I find my way back to you,
calm, happy and whole at last

There. :) I hope it's okay. ^^

First entry! Thank you very much, it is lovely.

Keep them coming!

~MaryAnne

Is this still open? i thought it ended yesterday

~~
On second thought i'm not really inspired by this. :/ Nevermind..

Still open everybody!

That is perfectly fine, that happens to all of us. Take your time, don't worry and don't rush, do whatever feels right.

~MaryAnne

Okay thank you anyway.

Hey guys, I really want to keep this going, there is only one entry and I would love it if you guys submitted a poem, even if its short..

I really want to keep this going and get more involved, thank you.

~MaryAnne

The picture reminds me of a mystical place.

My Mystical Place

In this world I see,
Anything can happen,
All so mystical,
Just like a perfect fairy tale,

Dragons soar up high,
Gnomes roam down below,
All in a world alike,
A place of peace and serenity,

Nothing can go wrong here,
Its the perfect escape,
Nobody is rejected,
But accepted with open arms,

Faries and pixies fly as one,
Vampires adn werewolves united again,
Eveyone and everything works hand in hand,
Not one left out,

This is my mystical place
You look and see for yourself,
A place you can dream on your own,
Where happiness truely exists,

Thank you so much for your entry, I really appreciate it!

Okay, this is my first one of these...
And I'm doing a Haiku Series, probably because Haiku reminds me so much of nature. And the picture is of nature so it only made sense to me.
:)

Ancient Tree.

Ancient tree breathes life
into me as I climb up
old cobblestone steps.

This tree; my friend. How
lovely when invited in
to warm affection.

Offered kind shelter
among this fairytale wood
where fiction mingles.

A playground so fine,
imagination runs wild,
as my body's freed.

This tree; guardian,
watching over everything,
especially me.

As I prance around,
fingers caressing magic,
my tree, awaiting.

These trees, our saviors,
with a life only to give;
oxygen I breathe.

A life of beauty,
given by our forestry;
Ancient tree breathes life.

Simply stunning, thanks so much! What a magical write you have woven!

Corners of Your Mind

They come at night
To bring darkness, and light
They work beneath your feet
They listen to your heart beat

They fill you with madness
Along with a little fear
When you are alone
You know they are near

Keeping track of your thoughts
Keeping track of your emotions
They fill your thoughts as you lay in bed
They get in your mind along with your head

They sleep in the forest
So they cannot be found
They stay in a tree
They keep your mind tied and bound

Little brainwaves not to be forgot
When comes to your instincts
The impact they have is alot

Beautiful work, thank you!

Is this still open?

I wonder about that as well... Is this still open? I'd like to try... :)

Yes it is still open.

All are welcome to join, no deadline but please get them in as soon as you can, just don't rush your work though.

Happy writing!

This is my first of these. So i hope you like it. : )

Broken Steps

Walking down these broken steps
I see a broken tree
I don't know why I thought this
But it made me think of me

The tree, broken down but beautiful
Reminded me of my heart
And how it has been
From the very start

Its extremely loving nature
But as tough as its bark
It's hard to see
Behind the bark that hides my heart

But when you look behind the bark
You see the beauty with in
You no longer see the tears
But you see the real me, with in

When i was walking away from the tree
I found a way for the real me to be
When i was walking on the broken steps
My broken dreams faded from me

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Twinkling lights
Glorious in shimmering beauty
Flutters down from the heavens
Brushing the midland forest
This Midsummer Night

Hoary stone steps,
Cracked and worn with age
Lead to the ancestral oak,
Centuries later, still standing,
Guarding its secrets within

The hollow in the tree,
The entrance to Titania's Kingdom!
Dark and lurid,
Nothing but gloom and shadows
For distaste of mankind

One small, glowing light
Floats towards the ancestral tree.
In a flash of shimmering glory
Hollow wood reveals a scene
Of dazzling beauty

In a second, the picture has vanished
The Queen has barred her doors.
The forest dims,
Returning to night’s shadows
This tableau, gone,
Seemingly nothing but a Dream...

Done. Hope you like! :)

~MaryAnne

This contest will now be CLOSED, seeing there are no new entries. I will get to judging as soon as possible, thanks to all who entered and for your patience!

~MaryAnne

I am going to get to judging soon, I have been very busy but tonight after writing my religion essay, I will work on this. Thanks for being so patient all!

Okay, I have finished and the winner is:

Aweing Ashes with her poem "Ancient Tree". This was really close and it was so hard to pick because everyone's poem was filled with such innocence and magic, it was so hard for me to pick but I felt Aweing Ashes had a unique display, entrancing imagery and a friendly love that never diminished. Congratulations! Please pm or post here the poems you would like commented, thank you!

Everyone else thanks so much for entering what wonderful poets you are! Please pm me or post here the one comment you would like to receive!

God bless you!
