I'm exhausted from driving nine hours back up to school, so this might suck. I can't tell.
Quote:
White Cold Fire

Touches of white pins in the spreading limbs
Is this the thread that binds us?
This winter has seen no snow
And bloodlines bring only madness from the moon.

Egress is impossible without ingress
Leaving again and again
Screaming that the void be filled
With nothing but broken mirrors.

Unblinking shining eyes
Reflect my own windows
The picture creases and bleeds
You are only deep water.

The slamming of the door
Dredges me out of sleep
My limbs are paralyzed
With the energy of impotent rage.

Even temporary madness leaves its marks
And I still feel those grey matter tracks
Etched as with soft acid
Old winds are blowing.

Here you go:

Quote:
IN RIDDLES COME WORDS

The old man spoke in riddles
abound in waves
to the oncoming traffic
lights the way for our journey
to the other side
of an unknown
time lost
on the road to peace
of mind
if he walks in your footsteps
in the sand
castle on the hill
top of the world
full of fear
of the dark
corner in the room
with no windows
to the outside
looking in
on the children
playing games in the forest
beyond the river
runs cold and wild
eyes staring left and right
down another tall one
more for the cause
the extinction of an old
time for an old man
and his insane words

Try to find the meaning.

I was going to post this one:

Quote:
IN THEORY

I should be able to fill
this page with many words

I should be able to—
In theory

Hahaha. I decided against it, though, considering I'm up against a toughie.

ONE poem only. Even if Eyesore didn't want it to influence the voters, some dummies are influenced by it.

YEAH!

If I could vote, I'd vote Carny. (edited)

I could have voted for Ken's second little poem if he posted only that.

I don't know...it's not bad, but is a bit too gimmicky for me.

And I've just recalled that we're not supposed to be voting in this round, but the judges are. Sorry!

My vote goes for eyesore long poem. I consider the short one as no valid, but is better than the long one. And I found really better the two they send in first round.... miles away better than these two.

That's very kind of you, but I think I'll survive without voting here. :P

You know, I really like that In Theory one, but first, you all complained that my last one was short. Second, I didn't think it would translate well on here. You guys are weird. Hahaha.

Short poem with a little twist. You'll probably flame me for this, but it doesn't seem like much work went in.

Oh, wait, you're talking about the short poem? Well, there's no gimmick, but you're correct, not much work went in. I sat and thought about what to write for a while and drew a blank, so I just started typing, 20 seconds later In Theory was written. Hahaha.
