SongbirdAs I walk down a street  Opaque by street light  I see a man  As translucent as glass  He holds out his hand and whispers sadness  And guilt   
I stand next to him as he whispers  He tells me of a murder  That was not his own  But of a bird   
He told me of how happy he was of this bird  A songbird  Who sang delectable tunes of fortune and fame  Whose feathers were green and blue   
He told me of how this song bird sang everyday  In a cage of gold  Singing of a freedom  When it thought no one was listening   
He told me of how greed o Songbird

The swifts“read please.”  
…  “The swifts.”  “No! with ease!  Feel the beat  Of fluttering birds  Twittering on the tongue!”  …  “The swifts”  …  The boy looks up,  Anxiously waiting if I will…  *Cough*  “The swifts”   
He stutters through  the rest of the page.  In his haste,  forgetting half a stanza.  *Sigh*   
“Please picture  for your second try,  a tiny bird…  Buried in the bushes.  WAITING…  Waiting for the wind  To LIFT him up, The swifts

Mockery of a GodI have learned that the  
taste of failure is  bitter  and it stings the tongue.   
It had been a wonderous idea.  A world  where peace was prominent, where  I was god.   
Where evil was banished,  and the dreaded sickness  known as human disdain and contempt,  was unknown.   
But I was young,  and foolish.   
Soon I was cursed with a plague of my own:  boredom.   
I looked toward my brothers' and sisters' creations.  They had wars, and fantastic literature  that spoke of rebellion and oppression.   
My creation,   Mockery of a God

Cold“I’m sorry.  I can’t live a lie.”   
did I hear you right?   
[shocked, smile crushed  like squeezed lemons,  it's empty]   
“It’s time for me to go. Actually…    It’s been overdue.”   
whats been overdue? What’re you saying to me?   
[voice collapsed, shrunk, only a whisper  like a dried leaf,  shriveled, broken]   
“I can’t do this anymore.”   
stay here. I need you   
[knees of gelatin, quiver, fall  resting on the cold ground,  chilling bones] &nb Cold

Featured Challenge Writer
The featured entry for challenge #41 was The swifts by ~DamnThatKarma. Even though there weren't many entrants, it was a tough decision this round. "The swifts" showed something that happens so often to teachers and I was able to picture the scenario vividly in my head.

If you want to see your poem featured in our favorites, participate in Challenge #42 this month and you may just be selected as the best!

If only, if only the woodpecker cries,
The Bark on the trees was as soft as the skies.
The wolf waits below, hungry and lonely,
And howls to the moon, if only, if only.

how do you start a contest
:iconpoetryplease:
=PoetryPlease Sep 16, 2009, 5:09:27 PM
You've asked similar questions, about starting polls for examples. I'll give you the same answer: YOU don't start contests, only staff members do. If you want to run your own contest, you do so through your personal userpage. I don't mean to be rude, but I find your continued inquiries a bit strange and offputting.
