Poetry Contests

Results Contest #4

Missed me? I know it's been forever and I want to say I'm really sorry. Life's crazy, what can I say, but it's good to be back. I've looked at all the entries, some amazing poems. I had trouble with some poems not fitting the theme, but it's all good. Just make sure your poem does, because I don't enter your poem into the contest, if it doesn't fit the theme THOROUGHLY. Alright now let's get to the results.....

Title: Change

The one thing that never does what it demands
The process begins the instant you start life as an infant

Who can't do much for yourself Morphing into a toddler
I've never seen anything odder Than life's constant cycle

Every phase has it's own rules for survival
In order to stay alive one must continually adapt
If you don't you may soo be just an artifact
Keep up with Life, or Death will extract you from your habitat

Therefore there's one thing that remains constant in Life and in Death
Change is constant even after your last breath

Comment: I never thought about this perspective when introducing this theme. I really liked how you stepped out of the box and executed it very well. I think you thought a lot about this and the words seemed to flow together, well done.

Title: I'm Better Now

It's funny how things change
Yet I always stayed the same Always a second player While you led the game

I followed you so blindly I never crossed a line Wanting so bad to hear The words that you were mine

I don't know how it happened
One day I said enough
I let you walk right out of the door
I'll admit it was tough

Without you I am better
I walk with my head held high
I wanted you to love me
But with this it is a good bye 

Comment: I loved the message it sent. I think this is a good example of change. The word and plot seemed to all fit together and it made sense. You told a story in less than 100 words and that's a special gift. 

1st Place: SammyPendragon

Change the inevitable
Always scary, but rarely unavoidable

Around every corner it hides Coming out when everything seems to be on your side

The creeping, lingering feeling before winter
When you know its coming some time tonight
Forever it's here, trying to beak down your door

You try to hold it shut, but this has happened before
And you know, there's nowhere to go

Comment: I love these kind of poems. The dark, suspenseful mood. Then your theme running through your poem, that you can't escape change. Loved it.

Congratulations to the winner, you know that idea I had for poet of the month, I want to reintroduce that back but with a few changes, stay tuned for that update.
