March Poetry Contest!

Postby Zarn Ishtare » Tue Feb 20, 2007 1:48 pm

Well, after carefully considering it, I've decided to start up a monthly contest, much like the art contests and such!


March's theme is centered on the idea of "The City Of God". Come up with a poem built upon that theme and submit it by March 20th!


Note: I'm also looking for judges. Anna Mae will be judging along with myself, and I'm looking for a third judge to complete the set.
With your doubt, all is comfort
We are all as we appear
No more questions left unanswered
No more wonder, no more fear
Nothing is beauty, nothing's feeling
Blood where there once was a soul
So I ask you, prove yourself
Make me believe that you are whole

Sounds interesting... Not sure if I'll be inspired to write anything enter-able, but at the least I'll keep my eye on this thread and enjoy other people's entries. (How lazy, huh?)

Here you go

Land That Can't Be Imagined / Jesus We Love You

Land that can't be imagined
Created beyond time and space
Land held in the arms
Of the Father
Prepared for those who call His name.

Jesus we love You
Jesus we adore
You are at the right hand of the Father
Praise forevermore.

Mansion prepared for those who love You.
Those called by your name.
The glory of God the Father
Open to the Saints
The redeemed.

Jesus we love You
Holy is your name
You opened the door to God the Father
Thank you God the Son
Oh how we love You
Oh Holy One.

Lord I can't wait
To see the land
You've prepared.
Even more
I can't wait to see your face
You are the only thing
In Heaven for me.

Jesus we love You
And cry
Holy, Holy, Holy,
Holy is the lamb
Holy, Holy, Holy
Forever glory
To the lamb, Who was slain
Holy, Holy, Holy
Unending praise
To you forever!
Holy, Holy, Holy,
Are You
The Lamb.
Tis No Fool to lose what he can not keep to gain what he can never lose.
What does it profit a man to gain the World yet lose his soul.
Choose Life that you Might live.

I'd love to judge the entries, if you'll accept me as a candidate for a judge. *Takes out a white curly wig, black robe and little hammer thing hopefully*

Hey guys, what happened? I showed this, advertised it, but other than Creed, I got nothing. Well, you still have some time, so I'm extending this contest to the end of march. Please guys, let's do this!

Gods city
his city
filled with hope
can help
those who sin
to realize
their mistakes
and try
to be forgiven
so they
can see the city
the city
which is filled
with all
but sickness
and sadness
please come
to the city of God

sorry if the form messed up at the end hope you like

procastinators unite.......................tommorrow

[color=palegreen]So in times when all your hope is gone
And you go through life afraid
In your heart there lies a hopeful song
That is there to guide the way
And all the hurt and all the pain
You soon will learn was not in vain
For all your prayers, they will be heard
They'll come to pass through faith [/color]

As per my usual conduct, I'll be turning mine in on the deadline. Or slightly before. Slightly busy right now, I have a movie to make.
The reflections of light are everywhere
Only a gilded age of forgetfulness
A drunken slumber, goodnight but no kiss.
