Title: Fortnightly Writing Competition - 30th June to 13th July - WINNER announced!
Post by: Sinitrena on Tue 30/06/2009 17:39:29
Sometimes, the world turns upside down. Nothing seems as it was before. Is this just what a  character feels or has the sky become the earth? Whatever you make of it, something should not be or seem as it usually is.

General rules:


I hope for as many entries as last round.

Enjoy writing!

Blizzard

Snow fell like spindrift,
Tumbling from the sky.
It graced the boles of the evergreens,
And fell on mountains high.

Flakes of crystal beauty,
Gleaming in the haze.
Settling on branch, on leaf,
Their diamond faces ablaze.

But when the snowfall ceases,
The land is once more still.
The globe's part has ended,
And returned to the windowsill.

Castlevania 64 is the greatest video game of all time.

It's my first time in this competition so I really don't know if some rules prevents me to do so, but I translated a poem I wrote (Italian->English). Obviously, I couldn't transpose everything properly, but since I don't use rhymes, I at least avoided that matter.

This is basically how I feel most of the time...


Shouting Inside

I leave my window ajar
making room for the Moon
that, demure, peeps
in the empty hall

Like a bat I move around
blind, between these four walls,
throwing silent screams
no-one else can hear.

And I grasp feebly
to the branches of my existence
of an overturned world
incomprehensible and obscure.

Every cry is deaf and vain
does not reach any of you
and the piercing roar serves,
merely,
               to tear me inside.

Nearly forgot about this...

Abisso, as far as I am concerned your entry is completely valid.

Well, there are a few hours left for last minute entries, so hurry up if you are working on something.

Edit: Deadline - Thanks for entering, everyone.

Time to vote!

It puts me in a bad position, but I'm going for Trihan for the good idea.

Congrats, Trihan. It's up to you to start a new competition.
