Voting: The EPITAPH

[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 second week is the EPITAPH.  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 15th to April 20th.

~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!

 

An Epitaph is a brief poem inscribed on a tombstone praising a deceased person, usually

with rhyming lines and can be humorous! This can be about ANY Kin member you wish!

 

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!

 

#1:  The Lonely Dolphin Tattoo

 

I tossed a bough onto the fire

And wishes like sparks rose ever higher

There is no way they can come true

And I am lost Twin without you

How can it be that you are gone

The grass will die, we'll have no lawn!

 

Nor flowers nor vines nor gray green moss

All will wither, become but dross

Now weeping dolphins swim upon my cheek

In the river of tears that from my eyes leak

Be damned that cliff o'er which you flew

Because you had not tied your shoe.

 

#2: Our Mystica, She is No More

 

Our Mystica, she is no more,

Another Purple Sash gone.

She fell from the moving coach’s door

And was promptly trodden on.

She lies here, stately, on these grounds,

Her legacy will linger long.

Her innate goodness knew no bounds,

Tho’ swore she was evil all along.

 

 

 

#3: Here Lies Twinflower

 

And here lies Twinflower

using happiness as her power

she would fight for rite

and stand against strife

 

In her org she was adored

When she was around none was bored

toe socks were of course her thing

along with snoopy dances, and she loved to sing

 

She was to kind, yet all kin members are

Now she has gone to be with the stars

To light our lives and burn bright

She will be the Kin's guardian star in the night.

 

 

 

#4: The Eldest

The Eldest was lovely and nice

She had quite a fondness for rice

But as she was cooking

She wasn't quite looking

And tripped over thirty-four mice.

 

Now Lor had a great sense of balance

It was noted as one of her talents

But for some weird, strange reason

This just wasn't her season

Though she wobbled with wonderful valiance.

 

Then Lor, our dear Eldest, she fell

And didn't quite catch herself well.

She hit her poor head

And now she is dead

Leaving me with the story to tell.

 

OH boy!!  This could be a very close race this week!!  GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!
