Subject Poetry Contest.

Danik 2016 - A delightful poem reminiscent of jumping rope or clapping verse: "Miss Mary Mack Mack Mack All dressed in black, black, black With silver buttons, buttons, buttons All down her back, back, back. She asked her mother, mother, mother For 50 cents, cents, cents To see the elephants, elephants, elephants Jump over the fence, fence, fence. They jumped so high, high, high They reached the sky, sky, sky And they didn't come back, back, back 'Til the 4th of July, ly, ly! "

YesNo - prettify: an interesting choice of words coupled with proud. Enjoyed the personification with Spring.

cacian - Interesting choice of shinning as a variant of shining. I enjoyed the abstraction of your poem; it made me think of the dogwood blossoms as stars shining in startling horizons.

And the winning entry belongs to cacian. Thank you all for entering!

A recent photo I took I'm considering for a cover: http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...8572cfc350.jpg

the digital age

its roundabout face
was numerically
peculiar -
with three hands
in motion... one
perceptively
one less so and one
lesser still
'til one day
was taken away
what was it ever for ?

thank you YesNo.

Clocks

A clock must change to measure time
And yet it cannot change
The way its changes mark our days.
We won’t let it act strange.
Although it’s bored with what it does
That has to be enough
Of entertainment it will get.
We do the funny stuff.

Thank you all for taking part.

Congrats tS!

Now that the contest is over, an explanation: my poem was an attempt at concrete poesy. It was intended to have the form of a round clock but I wasn´t able to save that format. So all I was a managed was a half clock.:blush5:

Thank you cacian and Danik 2016 !

I would have loved to see your concrete poem come to fruition Danik 2016... enjoyed your poem YesNo as well.

My poem was inspired by the news in England: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...tell-time.html

away with the faeries
they say but
they hold a good posture
when it comes to foster
an ideaology
that is made to prosper
without a fairy
there is no prairie
cinderall worry
only a lobster
to have in a hurry !!

Congratulations, tailor STATELY!

-----------------------------

The Faeries of Oubliette Woods

Some thought that they had all long gone.
Some thought they never were.
But in fresh woods forgotten still
They flourish safe and always will
Though we sense not a stir.

Thank you YesNo, and thank you both for the entries !

Deadline will be the end of the day of the first of June: E.O.D. 6/1/2018 P.D.T.
