WINNERS


FIRST

So This Is Goodbye
by: @dyinkfinity

T'was a sunny day when our eyes met
The smile in your face, I'll never forget.
As if the universe made the set,
Truly, meeting you was never a regret.

We were never lovers nor friends
My emotions grew just like the trends
Weird feelings, I can't comprehend
Then my heart utters "This is the end"

It's been years since the day we met
But there are things I didn't get
I knew there's something wrong, I fret
Time has abandoned me, now I regret.

I wish I could turn back the old time
To see your smile that continually shine.
But now you're gone, it's fine.
After all you've never been mine.

SECOND

Chrono Triggered
by: @lapizlazuli

A sudden thing I think to keep
A force so grave I must not skip
But fast or slow it makes me shout
Now I need to let it all out!

This "anger" that can stun and jump
That sudden jolt that makes feet stamp
If recalled, the gut and mind warp
Minding it will speed turns so sharp

So harmful, a void reaction
From this "outlet" driven action
Still I muse if I'd put a show
Bottle up, or go with the flow?

Minutes passed, I've finished this trial!
From nature's call, I heed the Dial
Thank you for reading my story
Of me in the lavatory

THIRD

Time Not Given
by: @sawi

Left unsaid those words within
being with you is a sin.
Forbidden love drawn with no return
waiting for you until my heart burns.

Reveal thy feelings when shall it be,
for your with someone better than me.
Can time help me?
surely it can't be.

Distance was my witness
seeing you with her was my distress,
Oh time give His caress,
so i may never be depress.

Time come to me,
That I may be the girl He to hoped to be.
Near to him I will be,
But just like time if it's not meant to be then i shall never be.

CONSOLATION PRIZES

A Time Well Spent
by: @coderzairos

time is gold, no one could behold
time will fly, many might cry
as we speak, you can now see
the clock will tick, like one, two, three

as the hand of the clock make its tick and tack
chance and opportunity might end in a snap
better be wise, not to waste your time
as they will come, once in awhile

give love with every second you have
give importance to the person you love
don't make a tear flow in her eyes
this might not lead, walking in the aisle

have a second thought, with all your decisions
a woman's emotion is like a gemstone
better use your time to make her smile
and live happy together, for the rest of your life

Growing Up
by: @tomogiroe

The moment that she opened her eyes,
To the empty and wild world wherein she lies,
She decided to chase the butterflies,
Of the glamorous hallucination filled with beautiful smiles.

No matter how fast she chased with all her might,
She can’t seem to catch up to their elegant light.
She decided to pursue her goals but still,
All she got was a fraction of their beautiful will.

She did not stop, instead she persevered and went;
Until she made it and her energy was lost in her vent.
She can’t seem to understand why she did all that,
It seems pointless why she wanted to wear someone else’s hat.

What she did not know then but realized just now,
Is that her glamorous inspiration was lonely somehow.
That said inspiration was jealous of her growth,
She wished she could turn back time and enjoy her youth.


HURRAH! GOOD WORK GUYS!

PLEASE DON'T READ ME!! PLEASE!!


CONGRATULATIONS WINNERS!!!

All entries got an upvote from me as a sign of my gratitude to all of you. It may not be too big, but I hope it helps!

Now for this week's contest, I will be the one who will announce the winners which will be on January 29, 2018.

DON'T JUST READ ME! I NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND ME!!


Please do read carefully the following rules. Most especially the DRAW YOUR OWN HEADER IMAGE THAT IS RELEVANT TO THE TOPIC OF YOUR POEM.

That is why we included Synchronization as one of the criteria to be judged.

PLEASE, as much as we want to reconsider, there are plenty of participants who follow the mechanics. You're not an artist? Well, making your own art for your header image doesn't mean that you have to be an artist. See those toddlers? They don't know how to hold crayons properly yet they keep on circling and swirling the crayon stick. And the output? Still AMAZING!

So please, just follow the rules, I'd love to see how you portray your poems thru a simple drawing. We are all artist starting from our toddlers days, but not all of us continue doing it. So, it's time to Spread your wings and FLY!!

BEST OF LUCK!! ^^,

I have a question regarding the 'art'. Does it have to be physically drawn or can it be digital art? I suppose it's physical but I'm asking just in case.

Hi, digital art is still an art but you have to be the one to do/make it. Even calligraphy will do. :) Just no grabbing of pictures/drawings on the internet.

Yeah of course! My hand-drawing is terrible. Not even a face is recognisable! (maybe not that bad, but still). With patience I may do something more decent (yet poor) digitally. I'll have fun trying :D

Yaay! We'll wait for your entry! :)

Thank you for joining. :)

Hi, thank you for your entry but, can you please change your header image? It's on the mechanics that you should draw your own header image. Even stickman will do. Simple drawings will do. Thank you! :)

I have done just that... You can view my entry now

Thank you for joining! :)
