Whew damn... Can I say that? Anyway, I'd like to acknowledge dramasnot6's recent success with her entry of the poetry contest. When in comparison with mine I'm simply like the rest, so to you I toast, a crest of your own one day; for your entry - when in comparison - proved best.
Hey dramasnot6,
I just wrote out a lengthy acknowledgment pertaining to the success of your latest entry; however, I encountered an unexpected misfortune - that is my web browser fatally losing mountains of potentially valuable information - thus, not allowing my to say what I had originally written... I can tell you this: I'm loving the entry...LOVING IT. But really, I'm pondering over the potential that my participation holds now. A splendid work from the mind of a mystic.
PFFT...and there it is! Suddenly, Matsiah looks up after posting his newly written post only to see the previously written edition thought to be missing right there glistening. Ah. I just can't get right today.
Hi Matsiah--I see you're new to the forums, so welcome. I think you wrote your poem on the first picture in this thread. A lot of new people have done that because it's the first thing they see. The picture we're writing about now is on pg. 29, post #423 of this thread. I think this round of poems will be judged in the next few days (not sure exactly, it's kind of an informal thing around here). The winner doesn't get a prize or anything, just the joy of winning and the privilege of posting the picture for the next round of the contest and being the judge for that round.
Thank you so much for your praise of my poem Matsiah! :D I really like yours too, although like Petrarch said, you might want to take a look at the most recent pic on this thread. Welcome to the forum! Glad to see another passionate poet :)Quote:

nucleus
in an obsidian nest
a million mill-stoned
voices rise
above the bones of a church
to the hovering
technical God engorged to
starry magnitude
by the city’s
electric impulses
The voice of
home tempts
in candlelit tones,
(Come, be still.)
but he blends elementally
with the undercurrent
and finds it is
increasingly difficult
to deny
the hinting shadows.
So.
We are busy now, unfortunately.
We'll try to get finished rating these poems for Friday, let's say, but We can't be sure even on that.
That's okay, Tal! Take your time! :)
when's the next pic gonna b up?
There's not even a winner picked for this contest yet.Quote:

Hi janine! :wave: Taliesin is busy right now so we are waiting for her to judge our poems and pick a winner to post the next pic. If you want to know you should probably PM her :)Quote:
