shake the blues
give it
a colour
proof
yellow
so life a little
mellow
is worth every
fellow
Enjoyed all the entries:
YesNo... Rhyming quatrain (4X8). First alluding to babies by one's spouse/SO (who is also personified as baby) and all things bright and beautiful; contrasted with avoiding the media to stay away from the daily barrage of negativity.
Danik 2016... Interesting quintrain structure - rhyme scheme: AAABC; sillybibbles: 2/3/5/3/3. Personifying the blues of having “blues” of different colors; contrasted with transparent tears gave me pause: Celestial tears begat rainbows.
cacian... The quintessential cacian: A 9-line free form poem with a hint of a rhyme scheme: ABCDEFEGE; sillybibbles: 3/2/3/1/2/5/2/5/2. Tongue in cheek, inspired, I wax poetic:
take your blues
by the scruff
shake them - red-shift
just enough...
life effulgent
under yellow sun
a mellow fellow
(waxing without wane)
now begun

Round, hot ball of light
Seldom seen at night,
Seen best during day
When clouds go away.
Cinquain: The Sun
the sun -
or matchless light
graces a celestial
destiny: an eternal state
of joy

Obscure Tarzan image.
The Sun dries Goddess into dust.
Felt like that?
sorry about the delay so
all three pieces are beautifully written

enjoyed the direct simile of the sun description here
the contrast between light and dark is clever.
Tailor STATELY

The next topic is the Moon.
Deadline will be in about two weeks.
the moon
swift
is adrift
to a winter strip
it eclipse
leading harmonious
feeling
to see it is healing
Super moon
you make me swoon.
Your perigee
is easy to see,
making my tide rise
if you get my drift.
Moon
A white rock eaten by shadow
glows for the wolves and bats.
the moon does not judge
so why should I?
It changes constantly
yet—
always beautiful
Thank you for all the entries! I checked my calendar. The last day of the contest is Friday. There is still time to enter!

The contest is over! Thank you for all the poems.
cacian: I liked the idea that seeing the Moon could have a healing effect.
Gilliatt Gurgle: I remember hearing about the super Moon a few weeks ago.
Silas Thorne: I hadn't thought of the Moon being "eaten" before.
M4ngo: The Moon does make beautiful changes.
tailor STATELY: I like the idea of using the Moon as a pillow.
I enjoyed them all. So, you all won. However, there has to be one of you to continue the competition for the next round. That person is Silas Thorne. Congratulations!
Congratulations Silas Thorne !
Thank you very much. I wasn't expecting much except spam when I checked this site, but I was pleasantly surprised instead.:)
Now, a topic. Have decided to ignore topics naturally associated with Christmas. So:
Spider
About two weeks, then.
Enjoy!
Spider, slider, wider, woo.
Why am I afraid when you
Land upon my nose at night
Sensing where it’s soft to bite?
Anagram: The Original Webmaster; Spider
rapid legs
one writes
"harm !"
... bite

Musings
Black spider
Cross spider
Spiderman
World wide web
Social webs
Spider galaxy!
How do we escape
all these traps?
Great work so far. Keep the contributions rolling in.
Too many legs
Too many eyes.
When found in the bath
Too many cries.
That's a little more than two weeks, by my calculations. One more day before the end, my friends.
Many apologies. That day was a little longer than most, due to Christmas and being busy after the new year.
Now, it’s time.
YesNo: Lovely rhyming couplets, and a good description an (ir) rational fear of spiders.
tailor STATELY : Certainly minimalist. Sorry though, I didn’t get it, probably because of my irrational fear of anagrams.
Danik 2016: Wonderful musings about the webs we live in.
…and so…the winner is… predrelemick. His poem identifies the subject clearly in a quick sketch of ideas, containing one repeated phrase ‘too many.’ Congratulations on the win!
prendrelemick congratulations!!
Congrats, prendelemick!
lol, thanks Silas Thorne ! Congratulations prendrelemick !!
Thanks.
Next subject, A magic trick.
Tell my future from my eyes.
Link me to our all.
Unconsciousness is a disguise.
Wipe with truth the fancy lies.
Lift me from this fall.
Prestidigitation
Hands reach
deceiving the eye
to steal the heart.
a magic trick too many
marvel and delight the sleight of
hand mind misdirected once more
fascinated by my uncle's repertoire
up to when enjoined to pull his finger
