    Pleione

    O, Pauper, Pleione and Prince:
    Through passed and foretold greivence go,
    With the majestic Helm of Hades,
    Within the horns unknown.

    O, Vigilant Valor Ventifact:
    With a shroud between thee held,
    Thy dreaming Hope and Innocence,
    And thy currency unveiled.

    O, Pauper, Pleione and Prince:
    Though the burden heavy be,
    With pride the weight sustained
    Mother, child and thee.

    Exclamation Femme par Excellence

    Femme par Excellence
    by mazHur


    In the scheme of divinity
    nothing is more pretty
    than a mother and her baby.


    Rejoice buds in the garden
    flowers bloom and smarten
    gorgeously become a fruit-laden tree.


    Who nourishes the billions there?
    Who cares for the clad and bare?
    Mother Earth, yes, it's she.


    A mother is not just a woman
    she isn't just the mate of a man
    but a femme par excellence,surely.


    An embodiment of love is she
    her baby's world, a world of her baby
    Who could surpass her than Queen Mary?


    The Almighty chose a woman
    to bear a son without a man
    setting an example of motherly superiority.


    Nurtured by the motherly sea
    a grit smiles with silver glee
    in the womb of an oyster's benighted blee.


    Purer than the love of a man and a woman
    Is the love of a mother notwithstanding season
    O Mother and child! Blessed be thee!

    Life in my arms,
    My life in
    My arms

    This is the most that I will ever mean.

    Protector, and what else is there?

    Full of knowledge, inspiration
    And milk.

    His life in
    My arms.

    My life.

    The Lioness

    Upon dusky hot nights
    sweet memories made
    beneath the saffron skies,

    those eyes
    which pierce into the soul
    boldly looking straight on
    a lioness lying inside.

    A tender touch,
    heart beating with the rhythm
    of a drum, whispering
    of the purity of love,

    but there remains
    a warrior's soul
    that will not stifle inside.

    For her pride and joy
    the willingness to fight and die,
    power rippling inside,

    and on quiet nights
    murmurs and kisses
    offered in caressing reassurance.

    Standing against the desert
    in harmony of impendence
    and maternal gentleness.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    I didn't see one posted anywhere, which is why I went ahead and posted a poem becasue it looked like it was still open.

    Amen to that! What gives?
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Will the contest ever continue?

    already enormous delay has been caused...why not ask any moderator to judge and announce result?

    Agree with Maz. Why not, say, Night for an impartial judge? With Laura MIA and all...
