Giving up
Giving in
Giving everything
until you can't
Helpful

Fighting
to captured
You have
no choice
but to
give up
Give up
Give in
Go on
and surrender
Entranced
What did it take to become entranced?
A mist of magic, that swirled and danced
In leaps and bounds, forever in tune
With the soft, sweet song of the cold, dark moon?
What did it take to become entranced
By the eddying whirls of wild romance?
By the promise of secrets whispered by night,
In the cooling sliver of pale moonlight?
What did it take to become entranced
To skip me along in a silent trance?
Pulled along by the light in your eyes
I fell for you by the half-moonrise.
What did it take to become entranced
By your quiet soul as the night advanced?
My heart ensures I will never forget
That I loved you while the full moon set.

it's only you and i here
tonight.

Performance.
Must be perfect
Must be flawless
Must be
nailed a smile on my painted lips.
Must be perfect
each step each twist each leap
Must be flawless
or else the audience will go
with your hopes, they will go.
Hummingbird, hummingbird, in my chest
Please tell me they are impressed.
Climb higher and higher and higher and--I can't breathe!
But they cheer, because I'm perfect. I cry because I'm in pain. But they cheer. I'm perfect. They cheer.
I'm in pain.

So Innocent,
With your big blue eyes
So Innocent,
With your wrinkled sucked thumb.
So Trusting,
Hugging a stuffed bear
So Trusting,
Cradeled in my arms
So Simple,
Only needing a bottle of juice
So Simple,
Easy to satisfy
So Vulnerable,
With breakable bones
So Vulnerable,
Such fragile skin
So Naive,
Unaware of the outside world
So Naive,
Trusting me.
So Innocent.
So Innocent.
You are.
The definition.
Of.
Inn.
O.
Cent.

Tinted
my arms are oustretched. we're holding up the tinted sky.
it's hard to chase em
those dreams tied down to the horizon,
balloons of shimmer and smoke that haunt
beguile
amaze
you're just
a little burnt at the sides
just a little tinted with char
you're the melting of heaven
and the running streaks of the sun.
have I ever seen a grass this level of chartreuse
a sky this magnitude of ultramarine
clouds
tinted
lavender?
tiger-lily-popsicle-stick all across the world
lick me down all over,
sugary sweet celestial-born.
the sweet is so sweet it is tinted with bitter.
now you stir and wake, shh not sleeping anymore
pink petals of a mouth clamping shut in a yawn
i dub thee
beholder of the window,
glass tinted and frosted
don't look now, because the empyrean view is blinding
there are no tints,
there are just tints.
black/blue/indigo/violet/magenta/rose/orange/fire/yellow
clash at wars with one another.
share a secret sideways smile, draw the curtains.
you knew
the imperfection was far more perfect this way.

Tuneful,
yet not
Perfect,
yet different
A perfect song
but not melodic
short, simple
But not melodic
I worked so long
on the perfect song
but it's not
melodic.
A perfect song
but not melodic
short, simple
But not melodic
I work through the night
pulling notes to tight
I know that melody is not hard to find
yet I can't get it.
A perfect song
but not melodic
short, simple
But not melodic
After hours of labor
I find it
Melody
It's perfect
Melodic
short, simple
and Melodic

On the eleventh hour,
The bell will toll.
Man will cower,
Hide in hole.
Ring
On the eleventh hour,
The bell will ring.
Blood will shower,
Death to the king.
Scream
On the eleventh hour,
The bell will scream.
He will bow to her,
And beg with mean.
Clang
On the eleventh hour,
The bell will clang.
Blue moonflowers,
Surround as he hangs.
Hiss
On the eleventh hour,
The bell will hiss.
Despite his power,
He'll be amiss.
Shout
On the elventh hour,
The bell will shout.
And from the tower,
He will pout.
Cry
On the eleventh hour,
The bell will cry.
His life devoured,
Passing right by.
Whisper
On the eleventh hour,
The bell will whisper.
Crimson trousers,
Weeping sisters.
Sing
On the eleventh hour,
The bell will sing.
White as flour,
Only a king.
Linger
On the eleventh hour,
The bell will linger.
He will finally allow her,
To love the thinker.
On the eleventh hour.
Silence

I begin to overflow.
Overflowing with ideas.
Ideas for a poem.
The poem you are reading.
I'm not good with longer poetry so I made it really short...

Gossamer
Gossamer cover me softly,
hide me in webs of white.
Gossamer hold me gently,
care for me in meshes of mist.
Gossamer grace me sweetly,
please promise petals with dreams.
Gossamer on me kindly,
never let go.

She ran, afraid of one thing.
Hate.
He killed, filled with one thing.
Hate.
They died, destroyed by one thing.
Hate.
The world ended because of one thing.
Hate.

The prize: Virtual Ribbon made by Kat
The judge: Poll
This contest is the first of the group, so I decided to make it as unique as a I could. First you go to this website that is called the Random Word Generator. You select Word Type: adjective and Complexity: average. (Once given a word, use it. Unless it is inappropriate of course.) This will be the title of your poem and your poem must be about the word. If you don't know what the word means, then ask someone or look it up, please.
