[Dark Muse]

Obsession

Opal memories color my mind in a dream that does not fade,
behind every truth a lie, if only you knew it is all to preserve you,
starry nights in your eyes leave me breathless and senseless,
embers in my soul, it only takes a word from your lips to ignite,
sanguine passions infiltrate my reason leaving me in desperation,
saffron hearts smolder like wildfires which cannot be contained,
indigo love plunges with raging force beyond the ocean depths,
obliterated by your every touch, abandoned in you every motion,
nocturne sonatas murmur within your slumbering ear while I watch.

anymore entrants? only TWO so far

[cacian]

OK I must deliberate and I think the piece that got my attention the most is
Dark Muse !!

the following lines are impressive I am fond of Saffron and indigo
''saffron hearts smolder like wildfires which cannot be contained,
indigo love plunges with raging force beyond the ocean depths,''

Pendragon: DOC SAVAGE was a lot fun to read too
''Going head to head with bad men, monsters, and science gone savage''
is a cracker of a line!!!

so Dark Muse over to you.

[Dark Muse]

Thank you, I will think up a good new form soon.

phew, good thing I didn't I didn't spend much time on mine
which pales in comparison too, btw .
Congrats Dark Muse!
Yours was awesome too, pendragon.
That was quick...one week and 3 days!

I've sometimes wondered if it would liven things up
a bit to shorten the deadlines so I'm not complaining.
It was a good form you picked too, cacian.

oh no!!!!!!!! so sorry I completely misjudged it I thought it was the 30 th the deadline!!!!! oh my I am really sorry my fault.
Melanie please accept my apologies.

[Melanie]

No apology needed, I was actually relieved that I didn't need to work on mine anymore tsk tsk. I'm just grateful you post deadlines because sometimes people don't or forget which makes it difficult to calculate how much time you have to work on it.

[Dark Muse]

It is a three line poem of 15 syllables.

7 syllables in the first line

[Dark Muse]

Thank you all for your great entires

Pendragon: I really like how thought provoking and philosophical this short poem was. I really enjoyed how the last line was a bit cryptic.

Melanie: A very touching and hart warming poem, but it did not completely follow the rules of the form.


And the winner is....

cacian: I really enjoyed this one, I think that it conveyed a lot of emotion. I also think it touches upon truth.
