A little while ago I made a contest which had titles from my favourite TV show. Well, I'm doing another one.

I've got a poem that would fit the title, Lover's Walk, but it's not new, can i submit that?

Aweh man I totally knew the show lmao. I miss this show :[ .

Anywhoozle, I really like two of them but I will only submit one; guessing I should reserve now lol.

Uhhh. Wild At Heart, please Dear. :]

Krazy - Yep, you can submit your poem.

Can I reserve The Weight of the world please?

The Weight Of The World.

Pressing down upon me,
With all its trials and its burdens.
Holding me back from my achievements,
Lessening its hold for no man.

Placing dreams before me,
As if they were easy to obtain.
Keeping me striving day after day,
Praying my work is not in vain.

Not caring about its heaviness,
Forcing me to carry its full weight.
An image of me at the finish line,
Glancing back at my mistakes.

Breaking down from all its obstacles,
Thrown in my way for distractions.
This world has no place for misery,
But it's not always filled with laughter.

Trying to keep my head above water,
Because I really don't want to drown.
There's no emergency team to rescue me,
When the world is weighing me down.

Thanks to those who have entered so far.

Anybody else? I really want all the titles to be taken.

Where The Wild Things Are

A forbidden wood,
Where creatures crawl,
Beyond your sight,
Where fear rules all.

Twist and turn,
It's getting dark,
No sense of hope,
To light a spark.

No looking back,
You're on your way,
Into your mind,
Where demons prey.

The darkest corners,
Sharpest edges,
Built in time,
By faulty pledges.

Broken spirit,
Velvet tongue,
All it took,
When you were young.

Trip and fall,
But hear no scream,
You're slowly choking,
On your dream.

Monsters waiting,
Set to leap,
You wish you hadn't,
Gone to sleep.

Inside your head,
A dangerous place,
Constant fear,
You can't erase.

The wildest things,
Hide deep inside,
In every mind,
Far and wide.

"Out Of My Mind" please

Out Of My Mind

Drunken nights which call you back,
As you're fading into dream,
The smell of youth within the black,
The laugh inside the scream.

Floating through a mystic haze,
Touching what can't be,
Blinded by the light of day,
Believing all you see.

Scrapes and bruises on your soul,
In time you made it through,
You didn't always have control,
Though your words were always true.

Mother, sister and best friend,
All roles you're glad to play,
Trying hard until the end,
To say all you can say.

Memories of lessons learned,
Thoughts of what has passed,
All the bridges which were burned,
Shall come both slow and fast.

Some shall linger in your mind,
Others lost to time,
Some you have to search to find,
Mountains you must climb.

In the rules it says just one poem per person, but since there doesn't seem to be that many people interested, I'll let you have two. :)

Oh I am sorry, but thanks, I need to read more carefully lol

Oooh number 7 please xx

There's seven places left. Come on people!

Just over a week left. Reserves, please make sure you get your poems in.

Any other takers?

Wild At Heart [Lyrics]

[VERSE 1]

On the long summer nights, we`d meet between his place and mine;
So scared of getting caught by our Mama`s, but it toughened up my spine;
And under that old oak, we`d sit and count out the prettiest golden stars;
Making empty promises together - naming the ones to be forever ours.
The gravel was wearing thin from running back home at the break of dawn,
Trying so hard to sneak in, but they were starting to catch on;
And in the moonlight with his hands in mine, consequence didn`t exist;
Every single thing faded behind me when he took me in his arms and we kissed,
And he held me tight like he meant forever, I didn`t want the summer to end;
But every straight road at one point or another has to bend.

[CHORUS]

My Mama told me that I shouldn`t be so damn naive,
Displaying my heart like I did on top my sleeve,
But I didn`t know any better, I was too young to care;
It was the middle of the summer, a few months to spare.
She forbade me to see him, but I still did late at night;
Under that old oak in his arms, where it felt so right -
And he told me when he said he loved me he meant it,
He`d love me day in and day out, he`d never go and quit.
Holding me steady, he laughed at my shaking breath;
As we fell hand in hand, it was either life or death;
And that Midsummer moon saw every inch of me,
But there was no other place that I`d rather be -
Then there with him, ripping myself apart -
Nothing mattered that summer, we were wild at heart.

[VERSE 2]

The summer ended and his Mama tore him away from me,
But through it all, I`m glad that he wasn`t there to see -
The angst that I threw around, as I tried to forget;
The time we swore up and down that we`d never regret.
And in a heart-shaped box on my floor I saved everything,
All the pictures and letters and that old promise ring;
Every now and then, I still go back and stand under that old tree;
Remembering the few months when nothing mattered but him and me.
And how bittersweet it is when your fairy tale has to end,
And your first love has to become just another long lost friend.

[BRIDGE]

I grew up and listened, tore my heart off of my sleeve;
Adopted resistance and threw away naive.

[CHORUS]

My Mama told me that I shouldn`t be so damn naive,
Displaying my heart like I did on top my sleeve,
But I didn`t know any better, I was too young to care;
It was the middle of the summer, a few months to spare.
She forbade me to see him, but I still did late at night;
Under that old oak in his arms, where it felt so right -
And he told me when he said he loved me he meant it,
He`d love me day in and day out, he`d never go and quit.
Holding me steady, he laughed at my shaking breath;
As we fell hand in hand, it was either life or death;
And that Midsummer moon saw every inch of me,
But there was no other place that I`d rather be -
Then there with him, ripping myself apart -
Nothing mattered that summer, we were wild at heart.

This closes tomorrow. When I get home tonight, if the remaining reserves have not submitted their poems, I'll send out PMs.

Results will be posted on Wednesday.

I've sent out the PMs.

*Please* get your poems in, guys.

If nobody else submits theirs, then I'm just going to pick one winner overall, since so far there's only 5 poems. =/

Lovers Walk (The Never Forgotten Red Painted Sky)

golden sun strikes her brilliant red hair
waves wash upon her toes
love shielding her heart from pain

sand crunches beneath her feet
seagulls talk from every direction
a smile builds on her milky face

a prince next to her stands tall
the man she calls her own
meandering hand in hand under the sunlit beach

together, a perfect couple
a memory of this day will always be present
the two joined by the power of love

for this creation bathed in a painted red sky
is a perfect backdrop for the perfect couple
and never to be forgotten

I didn't reserve, but I did write one for this contest. It is one minute [my time] after the due date. I hope you will accept it.

Blood Ties
By: Twisted Heart

Among the shadows of the night
Against the shades of faded gray
Upon the cobbles of the street
The changeling searched his prey.

His nose was tipped for virgin scent
Such wicked dreams he stored inside
When there upon the corner's bend
He spied his virgin bride.

With wings of flames he made his swoop
And caught her fast and unaware
He gripped her to his breast and flew
High in the sky without a care.

To darkened pitch among the tombs
He sat her there upon the grave
He tipped his teeth against her neck
To taste the crimson wine he craved.

Just a sip to quench his thirst
As demons rose from rot's decay
The sound of hissing laughter heard
Among the statues made of clay.

Tuned now to see the kindred breath
That seared inside his virgin bride
The change he saw beginning now
Red lips, dark hair and skin pure white.

She rose from sleep so different now
As fire flashed bright inside her eyes
A beauty love he longed for her
Though from her breath a demon cry

With wings of flame she took to flight
Among the cobbles of the street
To purge her thirst for crimson wine
A search to sate her wanton need.

Yep, I'll accept it, Twisted Heart.

Thank you.

This is now closed.

Sorry, I couldn't get round to posting the results yesterday. I'll try do it tonight when I get home from college.

I'm so sorry, my internet has been down for about 3 weeks and i've just got online and found your message, i really am sorry,

xxx

I've sent a PM to Espoir, and I'm giving her tonight and tomorrow to get her poem in. Judging will be done on Sunday.

Sorry for the delay, school/college is keeping me busy, and I've been pretty ill this week, too. I *will* do this on Sunday, though. That's a promise.

Espoir can't write her poem, so I'll have results up by today at some point.

Due to lack of time, I can no longer write up the results the way I used to [with comments on each individual poem], so I'm just going to post the winners.
