    I doubt I’ll get more votes so I’ll declare the winner for this contest. I received three votes and two were for Mr. Darcy for his poem Nothing else matters mix 76.

    Congratulations!!! Please let me know which poem you would like me to comment on.

    Nothing else matters mix 76
    ..........................................

    A streak of blue
    Sad but true
    Rode out on lightening rod
    Seek and destroy
    Bleed out the boy
    For he is black and lost

    Platinum shards
    Whiplashed and hard
    Corrodes his creeping death
    The unforgiven
    Crushed and driven
    Turn page unwanted guest

    King of nothing
    Skull concussing
    The day that never came
    Mamma said
    Music is lead
    Let’s welcome home his pain

    So, what they say
    Beneath the grey
    Four horsemen ride on gold
    Fading to black
    Bibles retract
    For whom the bells will toll

    Battery cells
    Leak like wells
    Enter the Sandman’s wrath
    Metallica Orion
    Eroding Zion
    The puppet master laughs

    He’s bleeding me
    With fatal she
    Wherever I may roam
    Ones poisoned sight
    on Osmium nights
    Orgasmic Hell of moans

    Leper messiah
    Scarred pariah
    The god that failed to rise
    That should not be
    frayed sanity
    Justice can only cry

    Thank you, Luce and to those that voted and entered a poem.

    I can only imagine how disappointed you are at the lack of participation. I realise that we are a shrinking community, but surely that's all the more reason for those active members to have a go.

    Thank you, Mr. Darcy. I guess creativity has been abducted. We need to rescue it for the next contests.

    But how to do that? Hmm

    Edit: I meant to say inspiration rather than creativity.

    Congrats, Mr. Darcy!! I had fun reading these, and thanks to Luce for getting contests going again. It's awesome to see no matter how many participants. I did try to write something for it but couldn't connect with heavy metal as much (I grew up with some classic rock and more modern metal bands or alt-rock).
