You have until the 27th of June to post a poem and from the 28th to around the 2nd of July, we’ll vote for which one we thought was best!

Your poem can be of any length!

This week’s topic is: Into the Unknown

Thanks goes to Garrison for the suggestion!

The rules are pretty loose. You could write a poem about anything that has to do with the subject/photo but it must relate to the topic somehow.

Most of all have fun!

Title : Falling
Poet : Edward Davies

Plummet like a lemming
From a height too great to measure
A terrible falling sensation
Instant fear and pleasure
Adrenalin rushes throughout
Your every vein and bone
As finally you plunge and leap
Into the great unknown

A dream

The whisper of the sirens was his guide
The sea - a vast and mystic wonder
His ship was half destroyed,
but on death he did not ponder.

Wherever he was going it was not to be for a mortal's sight
Still his heart was drumming and his hands shook
His eyes watered at the curious inscription on the explorer's book
He was to become a god of might, a titan
All he had to do was to continue on, and fight

The Dream by CP Cabaniss
*Thoughts welcome.*

Skeleton fingers
beckon me
A gentle glow guides the way
hissing whisepers say my name
An invitation
I can't turn away
The sign reads:
"Welcome to your dreams"
I step into the unknown
Bare trees welcome me
Darkness enfolds in arms of night
I fade
