[Silas Thorne]

I know you love me Joan,
although you're shy to say it.
You'll never walk alone.

So, I was at your home.
Although you won't dare to say it,
I know you love me Joan.

Although you cuss and moan
and tell me sternly to 'go git!',
you'll never walk alone.

With your face hard as stone
and mine all covered in your spit,
I know you love me Joan.

Please do not b itch or groan
or fly into a screaming fit.
You'll never walk alone.

You got some people on your phone,
now I'm inside this cell; said that we've split,
but I know you love me....

Joan?

Will you ever walk alone?

[YesNo]

The one who's always on your mind
Is always with you even though
It looks as if you're left behind
And sorrow's seeds are all you'll find
When spring tells you it's time to sow.

Thanks for everyone who took part .


Pendragon : I liked your poem.. The use of WHEN. in each line was just so inspiring and how the poems ends that is wonderful .
When you feel isolated even when in a crowd
When the tears flow like rain from your eyes


krymsonkyng: Good poem ....I liked this line .
The sooner that you deal with it
the further that you drive it back


Dark Muse: wonderful participation Dark Muse, i enjoyed reading it alot.
To dream while you're awake .... a line that capured me .


Silas Thorne: There is so much love in it .. and u can sense it . Lovely poem
Lines i loved ...
With your face hard as stone
and mine all covered in your spit,
I know you love me Joan

YesNo: Simple but very meangingful.. Good poem.

All the poems were just great.. i was confused who to choose.. and maybe i wanted more than one to win ..
GREAT POEMS ALL.. THANK YOU ...


BUT

THE WINNER IS
DARK MUSE

There is something special about your poem.. And i wont forget
To dream while you're awake

And as the winds blow
a voice still sings,
your name upon window fog.
Is it madness! A caress
in an empty room?

GOOD LUCK FOR ALL

[Dark Muse]

Thank you very much!

[Pendragon]

Way to go, Dark Muse!

[Dark Muse]

Thank you!

Ok, the next subject is "Ice Queen"

Deadline Dec. 25th.

[Silas Thorne]

Well done, Dark Muse! And a great Christmas topic!
hoope: I'm not sure if there is any love in that poem though, more likely obsession. The narrator is Joan's ex-lover and now an unwanted stalker. I thought that might have come through. Oh well.

By day I fight the dragons, miss.
By night I still don't get that kiss.
I thought some love would grow.
I know those beastly dragons well.
I've sent some dozens off to hell,
But now I don't know how to tell
If you should also go.

[Dark Muse]

A great first start YesNo. Thank you for kicking things off, I cannot wait to see what others come up with.

the snowflakes catch in her lashes
when she blinks they scatter
like little white butterflies

her blue lips
raw
yet soft to the touch
leave frostbite
on her lovers

her frosty cerulean eyes
cast their frigid gaze
upon a glacial world

her small white hands
nimble fingers
frozen
weave bitter winds
of winter
from sharpened
icicles
and
blows on them gently
sending them out
into the world

and she shivers

[Pendragon]

The Ice Queen with with cold fingers
Claws at my warm, beating heart
A chill comes into the room
Far worse than Arctic air
I'm blinded by my frozen tears
Now is the Winter of my discontent
And the snow blots out my dawn of hope
Will the Princess of Spring finally find me
Before I freeze to death in cold reality?

[Dark Muse]

Sorry for the delay everyone but I have been busy, but now I am here. I want to thank those of you who posted your great entries for this contest.

So without further ado, or further waiting:

YesNo: I liked your use of rhyme, I thought it worked quite well and it added to the fairy tale like quality of your poem. I also quite enjoyed your interpretation of the subject. I loved the humorous aspect of it, and the unexpected ending which gave the humor a darker edge. It was a fun and enjoyable poem to read.

Pendragon: As always your work is masterfully done. A very powerful poem which is quite gripping. I loved the first two lines which immediate grab the readers attention. And I absolutely loved this line "Now is the Winter of my discontent." The ending was also profoundly powerful. I love the dual aspects of darkness and hope which play within your poems. And I particularly enjoyed the openhandedness of this one. Will the Spring arrive in time, or alas will it be too late? It is for the reader to decide whether or not the poem shall have a happy ending.

But as tough a choice as this was......I have to give the win to

moonbird: I found the imagery of your poem to be the most striking. I thought there was an elegance within your verse which I quite enjoyed, and I loved the visual picture which you painted with your words. There were so many fabulous lines in your poem I thought. And I quite enjoyed the way in which you convey a sense of vulnerability within the Ice Queen herself, as if she is a victim of her own nature, and is lonely in the world she cannot help but create for herself.
