VOTING: The Acrostic Poem

[twinflower]

Welcome Everyone!  *grins and bounces*  To the Kin's

 

Second Annual Challenge of the Sashes Poetry Contest!!!

 

The members of each Sash group have been working together to write poems of four different types this month!  This first week is the Acrostic Poem.  Then as a group, they choose the one they feel is the best to be posted in the vote against the other Sashes!  The vote is open to anyone who visits our boards! Kin members are asked to post that they HAVE voted..but not WHO they voted for.  This is important if you want credit for participation in the Challenge to share in any points your Sash group wins! ;)  You are welcome to post compliments and comments as well!

 

The Voting

 

~The vote will last from today, April 7th to April 13th.

~The winners will be announced in the Winner's Circle thread, along with all the poems written for that type of poem!

~Poems are posted anonymously!  No author or Sash revealed!

~The vote is HIDDEN!  *grins*  I love the anticipation!

 

The Acrostic Poemis: where the first letter of each line spells a word, usually using the same words as in the title.  The word choices for this challenge are:

 

Nightmare & Stardust

 

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

 

#1: Silently...

 

Silently he touched her hair

The golden locks felt silky

Against his caloused hands

Roughened by hard times

Delicately he touched her cheek

Unwilling to open her eyes and break the moment

She let it linger savoring each sensation

Till the dream ended, leaving only his ghost.

 

 

 

#2: Now softly...

 

Now softly here I rest

Insomnolent no more

Gentle dreams are sought anew, and yet

Horror is at the door...

The eternal gnashing of teeth by beasts of

Murderous malevolent intent, until

Awake! gasping for air, clawing for life

Reliving each moment fresh

Even daylight cannot shake the fear

 

 

#3: Now I am..

 

Now I am laying awake staring at the ceiling

Imagination runs wild through the night.

Ghosts of the past run through my mind.

Heightened by the chimes of midnight.

Time waxes, and it wanes.

Mourning approaches but is to far off

Angels fall before daylight

Returning to heaven on golding wings

End of the night and beginning of day, so good-bye for now

 

 

#4:Nether regions..

 

Nether regions call

In the dark of night

Goading all with thier plight

Haunting dreams of the unaware

Tortured souls possessed when they dare

Morning bring salvations light

Abandon fears of the night

Rest will come when you sleep again

Escape for now the demons within.

From the Blue Sashes:

 

Now I am laying awake staring at the ceiling

Imagination runs wild through the night.

Ghosts of the past run through my mind.

Heightened by the chimes of midnight.

Time waxes, and it wanes.

Mourning approaches but is to far off

Angels fall before daylight

Returning to heaven on golding wings

End of the night and beginning of day, so good-bye for now

~~Dragonsworn

 

No one

Ignores

Gnomes

Having

Them

Muscled

And

Really

Eerie

~~Lor

 

Stars look down on the lives of men

To observe what it is to be human

Attracted by thier laughter and loves

Repulsed by thier wars and hate

Dreaming that they may one day be

Unleashed from heavens glory, FREE

Stardust sifts down abundently

tethered to the universe it can not be!

~~Twinnie

 

from the Green Sash:

 

Now softly here I rest

Insomnolent no more

Gentle dreams are sought anew, and yet

Horror is at the door...

The eternal gnashing of teeth by beasts of

Murderous malevolent intent, until

Awake! gasping for air, clawing for life

Reliving each moment fresh

Even daylight cannot shake the fear

~~Chiyuki

 

Sparkling

Twinkling

Always

Reaching

Dancing

Undoing

Satan's

Tarnish.

~~Twinnie

 

from the Purple Sash:

 

No turning back now

In this labyrinth of fear

Grasping at straws that won't get you out

Help is too far away tonight

Tell me you're all right

Maybe it's true

And yet, is it possible?

Remember this always:

Every nightmare holds you forever.

~~Mmeesh

 

Silently he touched her hair

The golden locks felt silky

Against his caloused hands

Roughened by hard times

Delicately he touched her cheek

Unwilling to open her eyes and break the moment

She let it linger savoring each sensation

Till the dream ended, leaving only his ghost.

~~Taei

 

So hey can you see

That my foot stays with me

After walking all the way

Roaming streets night and day

Dad is sleeping in the tub

Us are playing in the mud

Said I couldn't write no poem

Twin said no cake and now go home!

~~Mystie

 

Night is here

In slumber rest

Go to dreamland dear child

Hide from your reality

Gone is the hunger

There is no hate

Mama loves her baby here

And Daddy doesn't touch

Reality is your nightmare

Escape now in your dreams.

~~Twinnie

 

from the Red Sash:

 

Shining

Towards

Another

Realm

Diamonds

Unleashed

Sparkle

Tonite!

~~Twinnie

 

Nether regions call

In the dark of night

Goading all with thier plight

Haunting dreams of the unaware

Tortured souls possessed when they dare

Morning bring salvations light

Abandon fears of the night

Rest will come when you sleep again

Escape for now the demons within.
