Cacian: "Illuminating skies horizons and the fars" good stuff.
Pendragon: Good theme, came a very close second.
YesNo: Seems the couplets took over a bit.
Dark Muse: Liked it alot, especially the mood it engendered
The winner is ............................Dark muse.
Thank you very much, I will get working on thinking up the next quote
Ok next quote
"And its shadows shall appear,"
~The Bridge by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
There is joy in the hearts of the hopeless.
There is fear in the minds of the proud
Who worry that life will drop them
And the crash of their fall be loud.
There's much pain, it is true, for the fallen
Whose faith in their good life has gone,
But when shadows appear, the forsaken
Shine trust and get joy and go on.
and its shadows shall appear
from behind the curtains
weir
and it shall speak of fear
to ask the real dear
where it shall steer
the tears
now that all is austere?
And Darkness and Death Reined Over All...
I walk the night, a living darkness
I haven't seen a sunrise in years,
And Mother Night has become a witch
So I walk alone, ever going forward
Fear is like a watchdog, Pain an intimate friend
And its shadow shall appear
I drink to its shade and mock at Fear
Pendragon

The parting is a bad one,
There's no doubt about that,
And its shadows shall appear,
somewhere down the line,
Revisiting the generations,
The sons of their sons.
“Don't be like that,” said Jacob,
The trickster to his mark,
“It was written, what can I say?”
And he shrugged his Hebrew shrug,
And he smiled that winning smile,
(That had melted his mother's heart,)
And offered his hand to Esau
And Esau knew they must part.
I am busy with NaNoWrMo right now so I probably will not be doing any judging until December, until then keep the entrees coming.
Ok, thank you everyone for the great entires
YesNo: I really liked this, I particularly enjoyed how it started off. It caught my attention and I thought the concept was an interesting one. There were some really good lines here.
cacian: As usual you have such a clever and unique way with words. I really liked the way in which you used rhyme. This was quite interesting to read.
prendrelemick: I cannot say I entirely understand this one, but I did enjoy it and find it entraining. It was quite originally, and I rather liked the touch of humor about it. A well crafted poem.
And the winner is..........
Pendragon: I loved it. Wonderfully imagery, and particularly I loved this line "And Mother Night has become a witch" This poem created such a great and haunting atmosphere.
Dark Muse thank you Pendragon congratulations!
Thank you! Next line comes from Walt Whitman: "my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead." Good luck! Deadline is my wedding anniversary, December 21. Write, poets, write!
What Good is a Pencil ?
So here we are up close in the bed,
But!
My captain lies fallen. Cold and dead,
Embarrassing.!
What good is a pencil without any lead?
Pointless!.
“Its not you, it's me - hard day,” I said,
Excuses!.
She - “Once more my signals you have misread,”
Not again!
“So gerroff I'll read a good book instead,”
50 Shades!
She rolled and took with her all the bedspread
Magnificent!
I admired her rump like a fine Thoroughbred.
Horsewhip?
Ironic are the paths that relationships tread,
Mazey.
For no sooner denied than lust raised its head,
Too late?
Ship of the Damned
He was beyond mad as we sailed into the pale,
the spirits howled amid the fog,
their screams set our nerves on edge
but we were cast adrift, the forever lost,
my captain lies, fallen cold and dead,
but still his ship sails through the dark seas,
unforgiving like an apparition, and we are left in
his quest to seek after the sublime,
his body stiff, with that mad, mad grin
frozen in rigor upon his face, and his eyes,
we can only wonder, do they stare into the depths
of some hellish abyss?
My captain lies, fallen cold and dead.
His successor's fallen, too,
And we must wait while our fates are read.
We don't know what to do.
Today marks 34 years of marriage for us, three wonderful kids, one son-in-law, one daughter-in-law, and my precious new Grandson, Michael Logan Korhari.
That said, Dark Muse has done it again! I declare Dark Muse the winner of this round!
Congratulations, Dark Muse, and congratulations on your new grandson, Pendragon!
Why thank you!
Ok for your next one, I return to an old favorite of my own.
