Welcome particpants!
I challenge you to write some poetry, and not just any poetry. I want you to go back in time and describe your favorite place as it might be then. You can examine your own home a thousand years ago, or see the pyramids as they're being built. (However, it must be fifty years or more ago from the day you write it).
You can choose whichever style of poetry suits you best, but if it's short (like haiku) then I suggest having several verses.
Also, we need at least ten people in order to end the contest and give the prize, so advertise like crazy. If you have a friend who's a member, get them to write. If you have a friend who's not a member, coerce them into joining razz
Our prize is the Devoted Pawn, donated by the lovely Aoi!
Good Luck!

I like to write, but poetry isn’t my cup of tea, especially in a foreign language
The ocean spray rose, the sea roared The clouds gathered, the cold wind howled As the waves clashed the birds soared A man stood still in the promontory hallowed
The Infant watched the ocean twist and turn A fantastical vision of water and foam Of a storm growing and building Like that, his mind was dreaming
With his Gaze he could see what others didn’t dare The sea wouldn’t be a barrier, a wall between men But a bridge to unite, to unite distant fare And in Sagres they would do all that they can
At his back the greatest minds and sages All three people, separated in belief, were represented, And for a single Dream they would unite to write new pages And a new School of thought was then invented
The School of Sagres was then born as a new light And from that point on, the entire world was to be renewed From there brave men venture forth to engaged in a fight Against old dogmas and myths that then were denude
A new view of the world was put bare No more was the sea a thing to be scared From a poor country with only a vision as guide To spread the love world wide

The Poetry Contest is now officially closed!
(don't worry, there'll be more soon)
The results are:
Jariah Syn and Aoi no Mizu: *sigh* I’m going to feel like such a meanie, but I have to say it—neither of you were chosen as finalists. It’s nothing personal, only that your poems had no rhythm or flow. They were lovely sentiments though ^_^
The following contestants seem to have all chosen freestyle, but if anyone disagrees don’t hesitate to tell me!
Doctor_Orc: Your poem had great flow and wonderful imagery. I’m not familiar with your subject, but that doesn’t affect your ‘grade’. Therefore you have been chosen as a finalist!
Shiro_Kitsune_San: Well I don’t count, silly!
gnomeguy1138: I would classify your poem as chiaroscuro (balance of dark and light) but that’s a form of painting razz It’s a great example of the controversy and chaos that was present during the Salem witch trials, and although it’s just a tad bit shorter than the others, you’re a finalist too!
pj-narise: Don’t worry about being new, your poem was lovely! You detail your subjects’ pain very poignantly. Your sense of rhythm was a bit choppy, but certainly not bad. You’ve made it to the finals!
The crew will choose (via PM with me) our winner. The winner will recieve the Devoted Pawn. (winners are going to be announced tomorrow)
