    Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all etcetera, I cordially invite you to enter my new contest!

    This is a senryu contest!

    I will judge you on 3 things: Content (seeing as senryus are to be about a certain topic), structure and the overall greatness of your poem.

    Rules: MUST be a senryu. (Automatic dq if it isn't.)
    I will allow a max. of 2 poems per poet.

    Contest ends on Wednesday, July 26th.

    Now spin me some good poetry!

    If you Don't know what it is...Go to Shadowpoetry.com

    A gem from the eyes
    Is conceited by beauty
    Remnants in disguise

    Brilliant bright stars
    Fading before sun arrives
    Nothing stays the same

    A kiss from you

    Luscious, sweet, tangy
    Addicting, passionate lips
    Eyes pulling me in

    Watching patiently
    Hoping that they look your way
    Love's war is in vain

    Cold Tears {Senryu}

    Cold tears stain her cheeks,
    As they're streaming down her face,
    Now for the last time.

    {P.S. This was soooo hard for me. It really did take me a few days to do it. I can't do poems with short lines, Lol}

    Alright, just a few more, and I'll keep it opened until wednesday.

    Alright. So I don't feel that there are enough poems entered to judge, therefore I will not judge.

    At least I inspired a few to write!

    :D

    Sorry guys, but I guess people don't know senryus or just don't like them. 'Tis a shame, really.

    Good job, though, guys! I'm proud!
