Greetings to all Singers and Songwriters!


Think that you have the voice of an angel?
Think that you can write the best lyrics of all time?

Then step right up and post your tunes!

Ye Goddesses!

Write a poem (or set of lyrics) praising the Goddesses of Song, Dance, and Feast. I'm sure that they'll appreciate your devotion!

Ye Goddesses EntriesX

User Name: Nephila
Title of Piece: Three times blessed
Poem:

Once on the site when the stars are right
at some sacred place shall we gather

All Meneshans sway and sing in the night
as the the cup of feast is refilling

Let our hearts be filled with an inner song,
empowering beauty of light and confidence

Let our souls feast on abundance
of love glowing within our hearts

Let our bodies dance on the furthest of moons
while remaining at home and safe

Praise be to all that seek on their quests
for your spirits are one with these ladies

Let our worship be in our Festivities
for all acts of joy are their sacred rites

When you arrive we're all three times blessed
in treasures, pleasures and measures.


User Name: Moon Flow
Title of Piece: Through The Looking Glass
Poem:

Through The Looking Glass

Always watching, never ending,
The heavens above filter through.
Watching every move we make,
Feeling every bit of damage we take.

The endless dance of life,
Moving with us as we walk.
Forever wading through the crowd,
To be seen and be heard.

The tireless songs of eternity
Feed the goodness inside.
Making sure we're all in pure bliss,
Making sure we'll never have to hide.

As we gather 'round those tables,
That the goddesses provide.
We Feast on good vibes and truths,
As the parties constantly ensue.

No matter the pattern,
Our life is complete.
So let us give and rejoice,
In the always constant love,
And give ourselves to those in need,
Just as we were once indeed.

User Name: Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa
Title of Piece: Bold Gold
Poem:
Songs of praise in night
Lavish feast to celebrate
Dancing souls 'til light

User Name: blueblackrose
Title of Piece: Night of Praise
Poem:
On the wind words are whispered
The night song of the goddess
Listen closely my dear
For the unheard melody
Let your heart be filled with harmony

In the gentle night
Fireflies dance across the starry sky
Flowers sway to and fro
To the music carried by the wind
In honor of the goddess

Laughter can be heard
As well as happy chatter
Excited as the feast finally begins
All falls silent and glasses are raised
‘Praise be to the goddess

User Name: Ferra
Title of Piece: Glory to the Goddesses
Poem:
Glory to the goddesses who grace our nightly skies
Song enchants our ears
Dance delights our eyes
No man shall know hunger
If Feast is who they choose
But be wise in your allegiance
For you must pay your dues

Glory to our goddesses, we offer them a prayer
As a token of our praise
We give the stars we can spare
But be careful not to squander
The stars you must give
For their guardian is hungry
Pay him if you want to live




Oh Starry Night!

Write a poem (or set of lyrics) praising the Night Sky. Don't the stars just inspire your soul?

Oh Starry Night EntriesX

User Name: Gemini
Title of Piece: ~Flying Under the Stars~
Poem:
My greatest dream has always been
To fly under the stars
To feel the lovely night time wind
look down at houses,trees and cars

A dream so lovely,bright and real
That starry night so clear
Moonbeams caress my arms,the feel
A thing I hold so dear

Every night as I look up
Into that velvet sky
I dream that if I only jump
I would take off and fly

To wish upon that star up there
A wish so pure and true
Brings my heart to a place where
Imagination shines through

My wish,my dream,
My greatest desire
Stirs in my soul
An infinite fire


User Name: Nephila
Title of Piece: Universe of Peaceful waters
Poem:

Darkness that is silk and pearl
Moon-rise pulls the tide
The Earth within is held there


User Name: Death_to_the_Reaper
Title of Piece: Stars Play
Poem:
When the sun goes down, the moon comes up and lights the sky.
When the sun goes down, the moon becomes the signal for the children of the sky.
When the sun goes down, the moon watches over the little lights in the dark night sky.

When the moon comes up, the stars twinkle together as they laugh and play.
When the moon comes up, the stars amuse her with their games as they play.
when the moon comes up, the stars grow tired as they yawn from their playing.

When the sun comes up, the moon smiles at the stars as they fade away.
When the sun comes up, the moon closes her eye before floating away.
When the sun comes up, the sun smiles brightly as the night fades away.

User Name: Moon Flow
Title of Piece: Under The New Moon
Poem:

Under The New Moon

The night has just begun
The day fading as we sleep.
Dreaming, thinking, wondering
Why do we feel this way?

We stand to our feet as morning comes
Dreading the day before our eyes.
Wishing for the cold crisp air
And the painted vision above.

No worries of war, fights, or stress filled life
The delights of the cosmos filling the soul.
Knowing somewhere in that endless sky
Our once completed adventure would never end.

Looking to the sky as the sun fades
Shades of bright lights form.
The fog of lost stars color the area above
The streams of life energy reflecting off our lands.

Each night a different view
Through the world so huge.
Know where to look at we just might find
A world you find so new.


User Name: Pa-pancake
Title of Piece: The star so bright
Poem:

I seek a star, a star so bright
A star who will truly be
Always here to comfort me
My only guiding light

I found a star, a star so bright
It kept a smile on my face
I felt secure in his warm embrace
And when he held me tight

I have a star, a star so bright
I thought that it would stay
The star has gone so far away
I lost my source of might

I lost that star, that star so bright
To it, I could not hold on
I keep thinking what went wrong
And if things would be alright...

The star has gone, that star so bright,
I'm feeling really down
My head is spinning round & round
The sky is dark tonight...

User Name: Whisper Invictus
Title of Piece: You are My Night Sky
Poem:
Like Dreams
Threaded across this Starry Sky
You will Always find
My twinkling eyes

Star crossed
Lovers of a Different Kind
The Moon and Brightest Star
Dance in Our Minds

Night Sky
Darker than your Brown Eyes
Unique with every twinkle
You will always be
The Brightest Star!


User Name: Jezriel
Title of Piece: Haiku for the Star Eater
Poem:
Catching Flaming Stars
Falling like leaves of fire
Of what do they taste?

User Name: Linnea
Title of Piece: untitled
Poem:
There once was a star from Nantucket
Who carried a star dust filled bucket
One night he got drunk
Then sprayed by a skunk
And now he resides in Pawtucket

User Name: Woodlandnymph
Title of Piece: The Dance
Poem:
In a wide dark field, on a cold clear night,
The stars come out to play.
Dancing and swirling light,
Cascade across the Milky Way.

Venus joins the evening star
To jig above the trees
The moon watches on from a far
Quite full and very pleased.

And I sit out to watch them there
While the wind it plays and whips my hair
Upwards, as if to bring me near
To join their dance in the atmosphere.

Spicedroses
blessing from above

Enraptured by your sight
as you dance throughout the night.
Amongs a darkened sky, you twinkle way up high,

your illuminance lights our way,
When off our paths we sometimes stray.

Lovers gaze up in wonder at the beauty you create.
And dreamers dream in color at the images you make

How I wish to be among you, lighting up the night sky
and dancing with the Goddesses as the world below us sighs.

You never cease to amaze me, no matter how old I get.
I can look up in amazement and wonder and think
Wow we are truly blessed.

FAQ


How do I upload my video?
There are many free video hosting sites online. Simply pick out your favorite and follow their instructions. Just be sure to set the video to 'public'!

Save the "Direct Link" and post that in your entry form.


What sites can I use?

YouTube is the most popular hosting site. Create your own account and then upload to your heart's content.
Google Video also allows you to upload clips for free, as long as you sign up for a Google Account.

If you don't want to sign up for anything, then TinyPic might be your best choice. Uploading is quick and painless, although you can't go back to the site and access the material later on. Save the url when you can!


I don't own a camcorder, what can I do?
If you do not own your own video camera, ask family and friends if you can borrow one. Someone may be feeling generous. Cameras can even be rented from electronics stores. Leasing a camcorder for a few hours can be very inexpensive and will get the job done.

If that isn't an option, perhaps you have access to other recording devices: Webcams can work just as well, even if the picture is rather fuzzy. Some digital cameras and cell phones have video modes that can record for 30 - 60 seconds, which is just enough time to sing your heart out.


I hate my first submission! Can I make another?
No, there is only one entry per person. If you have already submitted a video, that is the one that will be judged.


Can I enter all the categories?

Yes, you may submit one entry per category.

No, you don't have to write the song yourself. As long as the lyrics are clean and it fits into the time limit, you can choose any song you want.

Most webcams come with video programs, Ascadellia, so it's just a matter of saving the video and then following website instructions on how to upload it. There are even two good hosting sites linked in the FAQ here.
