The setting sun
Is diving through the frozen bay.
The setting sun
Will splash the coming night in play
Through light and so departs the day.
Unconscious? Conscious, in its way,
The setting sun.
The setting sun
Is diving through the frozen bay.
The setting sun
Will splash the coming night in play
Through light and so departs the day.
Unconscious? Conscious, in its way,
The setting sun.
Sorry, I don't think you can. You can edit your poem if you feel like it. But I like it as it is.Originally Posted by colb2

Thanks for the entry, YesNo.

We need more entries, please. Try to do something with the punctuation of the repeated lines. That's interesting.

As it doesn't seem there will be any more entries, I'll close this round and declare the winner.
colb2- I liked your poem especially the lines
"Is it enough cause for concern
Should that feeling ever return"
YesNo- I found the imagery of your poem very interesting.
I think both poems conform to the form very well.
And I declare YesNo the winner for this round. The question and the answer, "Unconscious? Conscious, in its way," decided me.
Thanks

Twits on Twitter
You think you are such a great wit
but your Tweets just make you a twit
if only you weren't a fool
believing you are cool
but you really just sound like a chit.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Limerick
There was a young man who had to live
in a sealed coffin from nine to five,
when asked why he did it
he said, 'Don't be an eejit,
why else do I do it but to live?'

One there was a man from Lost Lake
Who complained to the law: "For Christ's sake!
If the monster doesn't exist
Then who the hell did all this?
How much does a man have to take!"
Horsing around
Rocinante got it on with a pony
Deaf to the pleas of Quixote
The owners beat them
"Don't do it again!"
But Rocinante ignored them, he's horny
Closed eyes, unable to see
Mind rampant, how to decree
Heart alone, so predictably
Stay strong, anticipate wishfully
Life's long, you're no detainee
Actually, this one is me. My account had problems, long story. Oddball no loner exists, it was just me, Pendragon, trying to figure out what I did with my password....
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
YesNo i think this one is up
it may never try
but when it does it sigh
it is just that
good
it fly
BUMP!
A poet known to us as YesNo
Have you forgotten it's your turn to go?
This contest cannot be fudged
It's your turn to judge
May we expect closure in a day or so?
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
