    CLOSED!!!CLOSED!!!CLOSED!!!CLOSED!!!CLOSED!!!CLOSED!!!CLOSED!!!CLOSED!!!CLOSED!!!CLOSED!!!CLOSED!!!CLOSED!!!CLOSED!!!CLOSED!!!

    K...I was starting to write a poem today and i was thinking...my last contest was a complete disaster so...this one may give u some initiative to just try it...

    You have to try to make as many words rhyme as possible...while still making sense of course...

    you cant use this because this is what i wrote earlier but heres my example

    As I take my last breath or two,
    Id fake a fast death for you,
    If I could tell me whats right,
    It would propel me through the night

    because this is going to be a more difficult then usual contest...i will accept the first 5 poems depending on how fast i get submissions...i may allow more or less im not sure...so if u want it to last please start submittin

    Rules:
    1.please try to contain the length
    2.MUST be new
    3.MUST be yours
    4.probably should be winning material if you wanna win...but it doesnt have to be lol
    5.MUST have more then 1 rhyme per line...not just the typical 1 rhyme at the end of the line...

    1st: 10 r/r/c's
    2nd: 8 r/r/c's
    3rd:7 r/r/c's
    Rest depends on submissions

    My Chaos

    Thoughts of my utter madness are flying...
    while knots start stuttering as I am dying!

    Losing control of what's left of my mind,
    while cruising with the depth of all time!

    Will I ever get rid of these overpowering thoughts...
    or even feel fit to shove the towering plots?

    Could I be insane or just fairly plain...
    would you see my rein or only my fame?

    So many faces trying to prevail,
    but only disgraces of crying will sail!

    wow this was a very challenging contest...it is harder than it seems...I usually ryhme with all my poems with the last word of each sentence ryhming but trying to do more within the sentences are extremely hard....but was fun ;) thanks for the challenge :)

    Mams Regret

    Underneath the night sky,
    wonder if she's right to cry.
    Flowing free again the tears,
    knowing all the pain she fears.

    Trying to explain herself,
    dying to regain her health.
    Her daughter cries. Began to fret.
    She caught her lies. Her Mams regret.

    The Shop on Willow Street
    By: Twisted Heart

    Inside a shop on Willow street
    You may stop and chance to meet
    The man who has collected things
    From lands that he has seen.
    Unique, they are, in design
    Critiqued by him, over time
    Funny looking, ordinary, things

    He's seen so many things its clear
    From dreams inside his mind, they rear
    He'll change simple little notions
    With strange goo from a potion.
    Resisting all the common parts
    Persisting, as he wields his art
    As he puts his hands in motion.

    With grace of hand that never strays
    He'll take a vase that's made of clay
    And slap a little of his goo
    a map he'll trace as he goes through
    omitting all the mundane things
    submitting it with lively rings
    Then places it upon a shelf for you.

    No longer does he sell his art
    Much stronger, he, to be a part
    Of all that is less ordinary
    And called a man extraordinary.
    Redeeming things with simple tools
    Beaming like a silly fool
    He proudly dances as you tarry.

    He'll gladly show you all his treasures
    And madly glow with his pleasures
    As you ooh and awe in glee
    Its true you'll leave more happily.
    You'll swear you'll return one day
    It's hard to tear yourself away
    From the shop on Willow Street.

    I hope this works, I changed an old poem so that it would fit your rhyme scheme, but if you compare the two truly only the last two lines are the same, is that ok? If not just let me know.

    Final Goodbye

    Snowflakes melt through an angel sigh
    Emotions I felt will never run dry
    As Lady Dusk knelt with her hands to the sky

    My flooded eyes search for a trace
    A lost soul cries in the enormity of space
    Numerous tries for a glimpse of your face

    Yet laughter stalls in the tumbling streams
    The forest silent falls as the hawk above screams
    And Time, she enthralls the mocking of dreams

    Now my heart's undying tears will no longer mend
    I shed all my fears while I spiral to the end
    The fading light clears as I start to descend

    Shimmering I weep as you slowly die
    Yet you smile so sweet with our final goodbye

    ok ive decided...

    1st-Twisted-I had no clue what this was really getting at but i loved how amazingly flowing it was and how poet...my jaw dropped...almost...

    2nd-Crazy-I really liked this poem cuz i like poems that the author is kinda questioning but giving possible answers...i dunno if that made sense but it did to me lol

    3rd-Bob-I liked this one because it is so true about our society...no one really cares about poets its just...crappy music these days...i wish some of these "gangstas" would come to realize music is only poetry with a beat...i think the only time it rhymed more then once was the slippity sloppity flippity floppity part but i liked it alot

    4th-Donna-I liked this poem too...i dunno y but i did it just flowed really nicely i guess...

    5th-Kim-I liked this one as well but it didnt flow that well and i dunno maybe seemed a bit forced

    Congrats to everyone...sorry for the wait...give me the names of the poems u want ur r/r/c's for and i'll start right away

    here is how many u get

    1st-10
