    So...

    It has been a while since I posted any challenges!

    I thought I would run this again for a while, for those who are looking for a challenge, or some inspiration!

    PM me with 5 numbers between 1-1000, along with the name f the person you want to challenge. I will then PM them with their five prompts!

    P.S.. for those who have took part in this before, don't worry about picking the same numbers, once a number has been used twice, I change the prompt!

    Ok - first set of challenges have been sent out!

    Remember, the challenge is to try and make a poem using all of the prompts, but you do not have to use them all! A good poem that makes sense, is a better result than a poem that doesn't!

    Anyone can still join in on this if they want - it is good fun!

    Dreams can become true

    A wise teen walked the path
    Of righteousness and stood
    There nude wearing only
    Her elegance of youth that was caught by
    The blazing sun.

    Everyone could tell her stature proclaimed
    Many veiled secrets held close,
    Yet she let you know she was for real in
    Her most weakest point.

    A smile graced her face
    Like a guardian angel she embraced life
    Speaking to the wind she whispered:
    "God I thank ye not letting me
    Fail like the ones before my essence was made;
    So this is why I smile today",

    Her long ago mended wounds fade into
    Her pale ivory skin leaving only a slight
    Color to her colorless frame.
    Letting everyone know her tale;
    Depression had held her for a while and had she
    Not stood up for what was right she would've
    Lost the fight.

    Walking till the end of the road
    She got on top of the horse behind
    A stranger who'd become her love
    Because she saw the opportunity that was there
    And it was: Dreams can come true.

    Title: A season to fall in love.

    Seasons change...
    Spring, summer, fall and winter.
    Summer and winter,
    an ancient arch nemesis,
    sifting through destinies fragmented, heartbroken hand shakes.

    Yet for me, the summer,
    Your love oh winter, captures my heated spirit,
    Through the melting and colliding of broken memories and twisted dreams,
    I want to hold on to you winter, and be that season that equalises the icy winters back bone for eternity.

    Winter, my precious beauty,
    let me show you I am for real.
    I am not like your sibling spring or fall your foe.
    Opposites attract and I am the sun to your rain.
    You know my story and especially my season...
    Dreams come true only if you let them!

    You shower meticulous crystal snow flakes over my burning hearts core,You're the reason I am smiling at Christmas time, you bring joy to thousands across half the globe. On the other half I simmer my hot rays to beach loving people and strangers on horseback galloping on my sunburnt horizons.

    We work so well side by side,
    Blanketing the earth, stitched together by the entwining of our soft, hard, hot, cold and gentle finger tips.
    Here today I announce my love to you, may the combining of the summer and winter solstice envelope us always and forever, in the earths thermostatic galaxy of love.

    Title: Music box mysteries

    I am a cloud dancer,
    welcome to my life.
    I'm forever spinning to
    a repetitive tune,
    written by the artistic prophets
    of empathetic symphonies and fortune.
    Embedded within the music,
    is the key to my heart and soul.

    Over centuries I have been given to new people,
    becoming a stranger to each and every soul.
    My blank and broken eyes,
    an open opaque door,
    leading to far away galaxies
    and utopic worlds.

    My past is a string
    of unsolved mysteries,
    from the man who haunted himself
    to runaways and suicides.
    It is not I, but the melodic tune
    forever festering on my innocent
    vulnerable ballet moves.

    Underneath the music,
    a message is hypnotising innocent prey.
    Nobody else can feel as hollow as I.
    Not even an apple a day cleanses
    me from the malnutrition
    my music box has unleashed.

    With each twist of the music box
    I come to life,
    all of my tomorrows a pre-written stanza
    in the futuristic history of unprecedented lies.
    As they open up the lid my body begins to move...

    The music tingles the senses...
    I loved the sensation at first,
    then the reunion of memories,
    collapse upon my elderly etching
    thoughts.
    Not even the stranger beside me
    can predict better days to come...

    The music starts to slow,
    As my time is at its last stand..
    For I am not dead,
    just a pawn piece,
    seeking to be freed from this
    endless dance.

    The freighter cruises toward
    a beautiful sunset,
    although nobody else
    shares the foredeck with me.

    They said time changes everything
    but why should it?
    The key to my heart
    was thrown into
    the sea with her ashes.

    Twilight will eclipse
    all my tomorrows;
    my life partner has run away,
    she dances in clouds
    of silt in the the water.

    Welcome to my life;
    through my broken eyes
    you might catch glimpses
    of a stranger staring from
    a corner of my soul;
    it is what is left of this man
    condemned to go on alone.

    This will be the final voyage
    as I seek the reunion
    with my beloved.

    They shall say about me:
    "he is not dead,
    he just floated away
    somewhere"

    Jumping from cloud to cloud
    An angel child was like a thundercloud,
    She didn't know what it meant to be unallowed,

    One day God got on bended knee,
    Said that it was way past time of her being free
    Now she has to see
    The earth and the sea
    For she had to become a little girl and one day become the key
    To unlocking me,

    Years passed and all I was, was a housewife,
    Waiting and waiting to finally have a midwife,
    Before I rotted of being old and joined the afterlife
    Till finally you were welcomed into my life,

    My little daughter you were my troll
    And for that you always got on Christmas coal,
    You never stole,
    So people thought you were a stranger to your own soul
    But I just thought you wanted to better yourself so you had a goal,

    You had such broken eyes
    With every sunrise,
    Since you were wise,
    You could see through all the lies,
    Even see who dies,
    In the skies you saw the heaven rise,
    Yet you cried when I died and you said a million whys

    Here's my surprise:
    God gave me you and I'll never be able to downsize
    The love that I got I will always memorize
    With every moonrise

    cloud dancer
    key to my heart
    welcome to my life
    stranger in your soul
    broken eyes

    If they think they'll take me
    anytime in the next forty-eight hours
    they'll find pain is growing in their
    dispensable worthless guts,
    for I've a lawless heart and a good aim;
    like autumn leaves they'll be falling.
