Hey there. This'll sound arrogant, I know, but I need a worthy challenge to my minds poetic talents. I tired of just writing what comes to mind, and I'd like to try and write what just pops into OTHER peoples minds. This is relatively simple. Give me something, like a word, a concept, a picture, an emotion, a story, anything! And I vow, within two days, if I haven't come up with a halfway decent poem, I will bow to the power of the one who set the challenge. I can work on more than one at a time, so feel free to fire away. I will request that each person only set one challenge at a time. Once I write a poem for your challenge, you can send me another one!

Thanks for playing with me, let the challenges roll!

(Note: My spelling sux and I know it, so please don't bug me about it...)

This is interesting. :D

I'm currently infatuated with a certain series, and it is influencing me with a lot of themes. But I'll give you a word instead.

How about "Legends"?

Of times past, we write these tales
of heros and villans we remember
with these stories
these writings
we remember forever
these ones who write our histories
these ones who are of Legend

Red and salty
the perfect topping
good on everything
a berry
a veggi
a tasty little bit
when bland food
needs a little kick
the only thing better
than ketchup on food
is ketchup
plain and simple
direct and pure

Hm...Alright, I've got one. How about a phrase, will that work?

"Beaty is in the eye of the beholder."

Let's see what you've got. ;D

(p.s. I disagree with that poem. I despise ketchup. XD )

Beauty, seen with the eye
is not all
there is to see
From each ones mind
a judgement
is made
Deep within, we can see
what no other
has ever seen
For each mind is different
as is
each heart
Behold not, what alone the eye sees
and the true beauty before you
will be revealed

Hockey, fishnet, sweat, lightbulbs, desert rainstorms, cell window shades, fluffy bathrobes and community college! That should keep you busy.

In the land where little ever do we see water from the sky
now falls all around the anger of the gods in liquid torrents
I look out through the windows in my little room
this collage in the middle of of a war torn land
my shades, like bars on a prison cell, close with a loud creak
follows soon, the sound of my plush bathrobe
falling from my shoulders like the rain outside
my skin, still flush from the scorching shower, begins to sweat
feeling the chill, I move to turn on a light
with a pop, the lightbulbs all die, I am left in the dark
searching blindly for my fishnets
the game is tonight, and he exspects me, and I must go
this game, not of my home, played on ice
many times found one of those sharpend blades, pressed tight to my throat
I do as I'm told, by this hockey playing foreigner
My life in this small community
My hell on this shattered earth......


***********

I decided to see if I could do a narrative poem, using all the words. How'd I do? I kinda had to do it that way. I did say one challange at a time, per person, and you landed me with that! If you want them seperate, you gonna hafta post'em seperate! What do you think? Sorry for the darness, I'm kinda mooding like that latly!

HA! xD I actually really like it! I thought I'd throw you an odd one. The only thing you really couldn't make flow was the fishnets and/or the hockey, huh? Impressive.

Thanks for the fun challange! I wasn't sure if you'd accept the changs to the exact subject, but I'm glad you liked it! Yeh, hockey was a tough one, but the fishnets seemed to fit with me. Well, have anything more for me? Or maybe, you can check out my Story I'm writing. "To Be A Knight" just got it's 2nd chapter, yay! I'll also be putting up my "Save Grargoth!" Story here, maybe open it up as a game here as well as on City of IF. If you like writing, you should check it out! cityofif.com is a great place for writers looking tot challange themselves!

How about an idea like this : the day in the life of a shoe on a living room floor next to an entertainment system, a dog, and a bowl of green jello pudding on a coffee table ? :rofl:
I know,, it's such an awesomely amazing idea. *smug face*

With sound rattling
from the speakers set
right here beside me
And the feel of
the dog's fangs
that sink deep inside me
I do so much for
those little feet
but he is more interested
in eating his meat
A final sight I see
before he turns off the light
a bowel of green jello pudding
left out for the night

Sorry for not coming back in here sooner. xD

You are really good. I like and enjoyed what you've written for the challenges so far, particularly the one anaxilea gave you. :lol:
There is one minor thing which is bugging me about your latest one, the "sound rattling". It's just personal nitpicking, but someone the imaginary of sound rattling is not doing it for me. Booming or resonating perhaps?

For a new challenge...
Garden, glasses and pillows in one. :P

A young woman in love with a man, but not just any man. This is the man who killed her mother. She is completely infatuated with him and she has no clue how she knows him. But still she loves him, until she witnesses the murder of another young woman and has to decide between love or justice.

Garden, glasses and pillows in one. :P
Lost and blind
I can't find them
where are they?
Gropeing helplessly
I can't feel them
is there no hope?
I need my glasses
I want to fly away
without them I can't...
Sobs rise in my throat
no more spaceships
no more anything...
Standing I leave
out of my garden
and into my home.
I can do nothing
til they're found
someone please help.
I fall on to my bed
nuzzling my pillow
my thoughts drifting far.
At least in my dreams
I can still live free
At least in my dreams
I can still be me

Little did she know
when first she fell for him
that it was by his cruel actions
her mother was taken from her
Many years ago
with this very knife
this outwardly kind man
had taken her life
No one knows
just how many
a woman lay dead
because of him
Nor can one imagine
such thoughts so grim
when looking at this man
fit always with smiles
and soft with the ladies
with impecable wiles
But no longer
can she see that man
as he turns to her
in a movement so grand
Blood on his shirt
knife in his hand
He begs her understanding
the body chilling behind him
her finger on send
the cops at a push
He promises love
and life long devotion
but can she belive him
can she consider the notion?
Trust in her heart
or do what is right
bring him down hard
or live with the fright....

----------

I thank you all for your challanges, and I hope you keep them comming. I'd like to thank my more difficult contributers, Missus Catastrophe, anaxilea, and Usuke! Congratz on sending my the brain teasers! I look forward to more, and I hope you are all finding these satisfactory. Salut!

Oh, damn. That was good. Hmm.

New challenge:
An awkward young man has always been unable to feel emotions. He feels empty inside. He searches and searches for what's missing in him. He is absolutely frantic with the fact that he just isn't like other people. One day he stumbles upon a girl who is what he feels should be perfect for him. He fakes emotions day-by-day and finally, he thinks he has found love. When he goes to tell the girl, she breaks up with him, informing him it's just too soon and she's not ready. He feels tightness in his chest and his body hurts. He thinks this is sadness, a broken heart. He yells that he loves her and HNNNNNNGGGGGHHHH!! He was wrong. It was just a heart atttack.

Let's see what you can do with that. C:

Within me have I always felt
devoid of life
Hollow and empty without soul
I feel nothing
There must be somthing horribly
wrong with me
There must be somthing vital missing
deep inside me
I thought for at time that she
would solve this
A perfect match for me
inside and out
I pursued her as the books
showed me how
Day in and day out I put up
a great act
And finally it seems time to tell her
how I feel
But in that moment all falls down
all around me
Too fast, too soon, not ready
she tells me
Within me an ach begins pulling
inside my chest
With a sob I cry out those three little words
I love you
Praying the pain will lessen and
the sadness lift
Insted it gets stronger, knocking me
to the ground
And in these final moments I understand I've
never felt anything
and without feeling a heart simply can
not go on

Could you make a poem that fits this song? I mean, to sound very beautiful if you read the poem you'd make while listening to that song.

Autum begins
and I am left alone
all around the leaves fall
leaving color all about me
I think of him and wait
for him to return
my heart for him
my life for him
In places all around
the warmth can be found
in tavern, in burrow, in stable
people gathered together
by fireside, in the dim light
animals huddle close
sharing warmth
against the cold autum winds
The nightengale calls
on the crisp cool air
calling him back to me
where ever now he be
Colder still
the frozen rain falls
the land becomes
a white slate
perhaps so all my begin again
still clining to life
the animals shiver against
the winter's crippling touch
the people gather close
their loved one dear
I sit alone in a field
my cloak spread about me
the only dark spot
for miles around
come summer these lands
will once again be filled with life
for now all is barren
as is my heart
as I yearn for him
Once again, I hear the call
the nightengale's song, so sweet
I look to the east, and there I see
the sun blush pink
against the clouds
and there against it's brilliant glow
I see him returning
Come back just as does too
the warm spring rays
unable to stand
though I long to run to him
I bow my head and weep
thanking all the stars above
for the return, of my love



That's a beautiful song. I love it. I closed my eyes when first I listend to it, then I played it over and over while writing this. When finaly I watched the video, I was a bit shocked to see bits and peices of my poem in the slidsow. Truly, a lovely piece.

I ride along this bustling street
Home bound where mother does wait for me
Around me my friends sit, on their way home too
To mothers and fathers who are waiting for them
My stop is coming, so I pull the line
Wait for the stop as I am always told
I see mother's red hair out through the window
I count the steps carful, so that I do not fall
At the bottom I wave the bus out of sight
Home now I am, time for dinner and games
Then time for bed, and mom's kiss good-night



Wow, took me back to school on this one. I had to look up the term, them pull out my copy of Hamlet! A had an even harder time picking what exactly to write about. I'm a psycologist, so when I think about autism, first thing that pops into my head, is, "What kind?" so I picked a young, high functioning kind of autistic person to see through the eyes of. Good challange, thanks!

Try to make a poem where you can find as much words or phrases that rhyme with the word orange. What's more of a challenge may you ask? Try not to use the word door hinge. XD

These thoughts of mine
They make me cringe
I've eaten too much
I'm on a long binge
My wife hands me a fruit
I see it's an orange
I throw it it far away
I'd rather eat porridge
I fight my mind's screaming
It's voice sounds so foreign
My bed calls to me to sleep
And I drift off to the chorus


:P That was fun. I can't wait to see what you throw at me next!

Hmm... Describe the American state known as Carolina.
The words must rhyme with the word Carolina.
North and south carolina may be acceptable, but you can't use both, only one, and you may only use that word once throughout the whole poem.
*devious face*
By the way, nicely done with the rhyming with the word orange. :yes:

Sorry for the delay. Report time in my department...Well, here we go!


There is a place
where no one will find ya
this place is known
as North Carolina
With trees and grasses
snakin' like a cobra
through hills and streams
like a runny prime'a
and thick like
cheap eye line'a
And if you look hard
perhaps you'll even find a
cardinal in the trees
or behind a dumpsta
the waters are clear
good place for a fisha
that's all I know
about this state yeh
so that's all I'm sayin
you poetry binda

You really are putting me through the ringer dude. Way to go!
