------------WINNERS AT BOTTOM: GO LOOK!!-------------------

-------------------CLOSED-----------------------------

Alright, so this is my first time hosting a contest.. And basically what I want you to is write me a Palindrome ((Scheme listed below))

Rules:
-Spare me the agony, no friendship poems.
-Love poems are extremely hard to write and in my opinon most can't write a good love poem..But you can try if you want.
-I prefer Dark or Nature poems.
-Ends after 15 poems
-Their will be 3 placings.
-----Any questions, ask me. =]----

Have A Nice Day

-------------------------------------------------------------
Palindrome- The carefully placed words form the same
sentence, whether it is read forward or backward. For example, 'Mirrored images reflect images
mirrored' which includes a word in the center as a reversal point for the sentence or even the poem.

----------------------------------------------------------------
EX:
"Lost"
-Lost-
Wondering silently,
Among hidden places,
Walking by,
Angels and Demons.
Lost souls,
Buried maliciously
Traveling graciously
Among ourselves.
-Death-
Silently wondering,
Places hidden among,
By walking,
Demons and Angels.
Souls lost,
Maliciously buried
Graciously traveling
Ourselves among.
-Lost-

wow this is a great idea, but i need time to make a poem.................

Night
Falling angels
Bleeding life
Forlorn eyes
Living shadows
Abandoned tears
Waiting forever
fading silently
trembling souls
-Moon-
Angels falling
Life bleeding
Eyes forlorn
Shadows living
Tears abandoned
Forever waiting
Silently fading
Souls trembling
Night

This is Hard !!!! =(

I've got a beginning to one, but it's really hard to think right now cause i have a horrible headache. But i should have one by later tonight. =)

Come on guys.. These are fun and easy to write! Just try it!

xDarkSuicidex

I've got a few lines on mine, but i can't think! lol. There way too many distractions going on over here lol.

ok i hope this is ok, i've never done this before, and it's hard!

~Hate~
Heart breaking
Soul Removed
Forever unloved
Star-crossed lovers
Away, fading.
Lies told
Teary eyes
~Over~
Breaking heart
Removed soul
Unloved forever
Lovers star-crossed
Fading away
Told lies
Eyes teary
~Hate~

~Apart~
Swords glistening,
blood spilling...
of lost souls.
All humanity,
together.
~Reunited~
Glistening swords
spilling blood,
souls lost of
humanity all
together.
~Apart~

**It doesn't really sound too great lol, but it's all i could come up with, it was hard, but i will keep writing these until i get the hang of them =) **

u forgot the last part jenna

~Apart~

Whoops lol, thankies Darling. =D

Come on guys, that's only 4!

Nicely done, no it doesn't have to rhyme, as you found out. =]

xDarkSuicidex

Keep 'em coming guys, that's only 5!

Bryan, fix yours.

You need -happiness-
At the end

Nicely written, everyone. See, it's not hard!

Whooooo 7!! 8 To go!

I'm gonna write this (hand write it) and submit it later-prolly tomorrow. and i promise to do 15 of your poems tomorrow(if im not grounded.,..=P)

τιŋy•ღ•ђєąяτ

who carews- just a word- in the second part you wrote hear not heart... . =]

•ღ•

thanks:D i fixed it.

Well, I hope this is okay. This is my first time ever writing this (and it was kind of hard.) I did mine differently than everyone else seems to have done theirs. I wrote it so that the entire poem reads the same forward as it does backward. So it's like completely mirrored from beginning to end. Hope you enjoy:)

The Art of Dance
By: Amanda Bee

- Me and you. -
Dance let’s us transform;
so graceful and free.
Are we technically dancing or
seductively converging? We are
bodies intertwined
-Together-
Intertwined bodies; Are we
converging seductively
or dancing technically? We are
free and graceful. So,
transform us! Let’s dance…
- you and me. -

That's completely wrong, Amanda....

It's supposed to be mirrored like the example above and like everyone else's.

It should read something :

-Me And You-
Dance let us transform
So graceful and free.
Are we technically dancing or
seductively converging? We are
bodies intertwined.
-Together-
Transform us let dance
free and graceful so.
or dancing technically we are
are we? seductively converging
intertwinded bodies.
-Me and You-

....And doing it the proper way, it doesn't make any sense. I know it's hard, but try again, please.

xDarkSuicidex

Well, I wouldn't say it was completely wrong...Maybe just not the type of palindromes you had in mind for the contest:) Before, I wrote it I googled palindrome poems on the web to get some ideas and I found examples such as these (which are called word-order palindromes):

Mornings
fresh and clear
makes sunrise spectacular
with birds chirping
- GLORIOUS -
chirping birds with
spectacular sunrise makes
clear and fresh
mornings.

and

[word palindrome]

poet meets student.

example final, this in

for useless credit write

a palindrome poem whose

word order is identical

forwards and backwards.

backwards and forwards,

identical is order. word

whose poem palindrome? a

write, credit useless, for

in this final example,

student meets poet.

So I wrote mine like the one's above. The websites also said that a palindrome, by definition, is a word, phrase, verse, sentence, or EVEN POEM that reads the same forward or backward. You said "write me a palindrome" so I thought you meant any kind. But maybe that wasn't what you were looking for...?

Well, that poem you used as an example actually made sense, it was like sentences. Try comparing yours with the "morning" again.

Then write one like the example I provded, Please.

xDarkSuicidex

*shrugs*

That's okay.

So that's 7. 8 more to go!

Great job to everyone..

And Amanda, yours was very good, but not what I was looking in style.. To judge, everyone's need to have the same fair advantage at being the same. Understand? I'd love if you tried my style.

xDarkSuicidex

Come on, guys! We need 8 more! If there's only 7 entrees, I'll cut down the prizes....

Anyone else? This isn't hard...

xDarkSuicidex

Thanks, Mooie. You are a doll..

I'm honsetly surprised people aren't trying this, though.. I thought a lot would.. But maybe this is the end.

*****I will give it a few more days... If no one else enters, I'll just judge what I have and decide ((based on how well I like the poem)) what the prizes will be. ((But they're likely to be the same))

Take Care,

xDarkSuicidex

Anyone else?

Overflowing Emotions

...Love...
reaches out,
finds one another
Emotions overflowing.
slowly fades.
...heartache...
out reaches,
another one finds,
overflowing emotions.
Fades slowly.
...Love...

ok thought You said it was easy lol.. Oh well gave it a go :D

I harped about this to Amanda, as well.. This isn't the forman I want... It should be:

..Love..
Reaches out,
Finds one another,
Emotions overflowing.
Slowly fades.
..Heartache..
Out reaches,
Another one finds,
Overflowing emotions.
Fades slowly.

You can keep it that way or rewrite a poem....And it needs a title. Please and thank you.

xDarkSuicidex

hey i'll give one ago :)

phoebz xoXoxOo

oops, I found it difficult and still did it wrong *doh.. thanks for correcting it :]

Actually, if I remember, you did it right, Donna, but not in the format I wanted.. There are many ways to write a Palindrome, I"m just picky. Thank you for changing it.

Excellent, anyone else? I'll give you a few days to write it...Apparently it's harder than I thought to write.

ANYONE?

Alright, then, no one else is doing it. I'll do this in a few days... I have a lot going on right now, so I can't. Please forgive me.

---------------Winners--------------------

1st ((And very well deserving)) : ---Bryan---
((Bryan -- I loved how you had a sentence and it seemed as if you broke it down.. Yet it still made sense when you mirrored it. Make sense. Excellent job.))
2nd : ---RachelReagan PoeticFrenzy---
((This is absolutely amazing.. The way you projected your words and explained such a story.. So wonderful!))
AND
3rd ((Very close behind 2nd)):---Lush Fcuk---
((This was very original, however I thought you could have written more about the topic.. And I disliked the lines 'Humanity all'. But yet it was very nicely written.))

Good job to EVERYONE. It is very hard to write and express feelings with a form that difficult. You all did nicely. Great job to the winners.
---Winners: I need the titles you want done posted or I won't be giving them.

xDarkSuicidex

Yay, thanks. I didn't like mine at all but thanks! Lol. Uh, I don't know which ones you have already finished or what not, so I will go look for two that you haven't commented on before I guess lol. Unless those were for this? I don't know lol.

-Jenna.

No no, I did those because you are on my 'favorites' list and anyone on my favorites list I tend to try to rate every poem submitted they have... It gives me something to do and lets me read great poems. =D

So, I owe you two. List any two you like, though no friendship poems.

xDarkSuicidex

Lol, oh, awe. -Blushes-. Well, I just wrote three new ones, however you already did comment on those lol. Tainted Champagne, I have just submitted and you haven't done that one yet lol. And i am working on another one right now called Imprinted In Pain, and it will be up soon. Not a friendship poem either lol.

-Jenna.
