    Right, are you up for a challenge? If so here it is. The compettion involves you writing a poem any subject dark, life, misc etc. However, there is a condition. It must be no more than 10 lines long and I'd like it to have some kind of hidden meaning. Interpret this however you like. Here are the rules:

    1) 10 lines Maximum
    2) Please check your spelling(misplet poems will be disqualified)-sorry!
    3) Include the title
    4) No swearing etc.
    5)One poem per poet
    ^wow that's a lot of rules!

    Okay I'll be judging these myself etc. You have until 19th March(only a 6 day contest). Enjoy!

    All the Best

    The Ghost

    She opens her angelic eyes
    Wipes away the sleep
    Slowly spreads her wings
    And looks up from oceans deep

    Sunlight scatters rainbows
    across the ocean blue
    Stretching her fragile hand
    The rays pass right on through

    I'm not sure if this has a "hidden meaning" but it requires some thinking.

    the voice of reasons..

    Dip my finger into the sea..
    desperate to break the wild night
    cold and smooth,form a glee..... stay,linger,and die
    immature torrents....crawling high,slowly..sobbing
    brought the voice of.. reasons.....
    from the past purple dream..
    the speecless eye,killing loneliness
    soundless movement,a cup of gloom
    hiding peacefully,within the dark sad water...
    its just not enough,to make me.. cry......

    Love being with you
    On every occasion. The
    Very thought of your smile
    Evokes my love again

    Y do you have to leave
    Oh please stay, forever with me
    U are my life, my everything

    If.. By Meaghen

    If cutting myself will release my pain

    Then ill never stop slicing my veins

    If shooting myself will make me forget

    Then id shoot myself a million times without regret

    If hanging myself will take away my tears

    Then ill do it holding back no fears

    If drowning myself will make everything go away

    Then id do it every single night and day

    But none of This will ever truly take away your pain

    No matter what it will always remain..

    Untitled (i need help)
    by Even roses have thorns

    Why does the water run so deep?
    it puts out the fires of life
    even though you can swim
    it pulls you down
    please fight and win
    if you need help
    i will be there
    i will save you
    i love you, it is deep and true

    *sorry i don't have a title but if you would like to give some ideas please and thank you*
    p.s. this is what the poem is under if you look for it

    The Prisoner No-one Cares To Save

    Hands that wave forever more
    Continue as they were before
    Back and forth, rhythmic waves
    Hands that no-one cares to save

    A face, which always stays the same
    People stare but have no shame
    Watch the face with no surprise,
    The face which never has had eyes

    Why will no-one save this face sublime?
    This face and hands caught, in eternal time.

    Peace. [Sole]

    As I sleep and close my eyes
    Waiting for a brand new day to Arise

    I think maybe god from above
    Could send me an angel to show me some love

    Since that all mortal is cleared
    Maybe the immortal hasn't dissappeared

    I'm overcome with a factor of fear
    Speaking out for every tear

    Poor innocent girl, too bad no one minds
    Or cares about my broken heart always left behind

    Unfortunate
    by Alyson

    Darkness falls on the unfortunate
    All they see is black
    No one cares about them
    Happiness is what they lack

    We as people should help them
    Why should they pay?
    Why must we all forget
    That could be us one day

    ** I don't know if you would consider this in having an hidden message, but I hope that you like it **

    "Misery"
    [Theo]

    The blanket of the dark blue sky
    the stinging of a bee
    Both two scared to see oneself
    Beyond their misery
    I feel as though a winter night
    could never cool our love
    God is on our side, Baby
    I prayed to him above

    Go back to the beginning [any suggestions]
    by Latasha

    I never wanted you to cry,
    And grab on tight to the fading photographs.
    I wish you could see my horrible lies,
    Were only to protect the awful truth.
    If I could go back to the beginning,
    I would erase all this pain and agony I caused.
    My shattered heart and my broken tears,
    Are all I have left,
    As I struggle to say I'm sorry.

    Never-Ending.

    Sometimes you don't understand it all
    And reality can hit you fast
    You feel alone and confused
    And the impression always lasts

    You feel lost in this mixed up world
    And you just need to find your way
    You're in this never-ending search
    And the answer never stays..
