Sad Old Story
It was a sad movie i watched with her
Which ended while the night was still young
So were we, so young
I only remembered it as
"the sad movie i watched with her"
Indeed, it ended just like the story
And we are no longer young
No longer young -

It is good to see you here again. -
the lure of dark passion
my voice reaches to you,
soaring through the night,
though my face unseen,
you hear it clear as daylight.
my soul longs for you,
the beauty in my mind,
to see your face,
and hold your body near mine.
with my voice i lure you,
into the darkness of the night,
captivating and arousing,
you came under my might.
our spirit unite,
as passion ignites,
no one knows me but you,
this ghost of the night.
from you my face withheld,
scarred by hatred hidden in disguise,
i could not bear to see myself,
in the reflection of your eyes.
though i desire to be with you,
spirit soul and mind,
yet destiny has its voice,
our bodies will be forever divide.

8 more days to go!
The judges are going to have an easy job this round. So far only four participants. -
There will be 3 – 5 judges for this competition.
I will be sending out an official invitation soon. They are,
ratinacage (Winner of 2nd DPS (S) Poetry Writing Competition) pipi & poot-poot (Winner of 2nd DPS (S) Poetry Writing Competition) Nelstar aka ratslen (Winner of 2nd DPS (S) Poetry Writing Competition) LazerLordz (Moderator)
I am not sure if they will accept the invitation, but I will also be inviting a moderator or a senior member from Poetry Free-for-all as a guest judge.
Meanwhile please consider signing up for the poetry workshop.
It will be conducted by a very experienced poet. He is kind enough to charge us at such a low fees. (Although I am still trying to see if I can lower the fees further to maybe $35 per person or not) -
The Game
Numbers and algebra, facts and figures,
aligned in formulas that defines fascination.
Link one to one and two plus two,
LifeÂ’s theories become just an equation.
Snooker and drinks, dateless and lonely,
At the bar a game I formed in my head.
Slowly and surely, with wit and cunning
I goaded the guys to date her friends instead.
Diligent and dedicated, loyal and true,
I devoted myself to the work that I do.
Caution and suspicion soon taught me to see,
a conspiracy in the game around me and you.
Words and phrases, letters and newspapers,
Piece by piece the connections begin.
Day by day as the game progresses
a dreaded fear grows stronger within.
Friends and family, lover and kin,
all but one IÂ’ve left aside.
Codes and secrets, thoughts and doubts,
alone in Charles my friend I confide.
Fast and bright, flashing and fleeting,
Shadows in the dark in every place I go.
Dangerous and daring, by night and in stealth,
I delivered to a lone house dossiers of the foe.
Restless and stressed, worried and worn,
Alicia sought to make the game desist.
Sudden and shocking, without a warning,
Point blank I fainted, unable to resist.
Images and visions, dreams and apparitions,
These were the reality of what IÂ’ve seen
Marcee and Charles, ageless and undying,
Diseased delusions of the game they have been.
Trembling and weak, resolute and determined,
I fought to regain my life and stand.
Eventually and successfully, the game is won,
And a Nobel Prize rewarded me at the end. -
love in a strange land...
across the oceans i came,
to a land of elephants so tamed,
exotic arrays of spices,
filled with beauty and vices.
being brought into your presence,
it is almost hate at first instance,
your arrogance infuriates me,
and my openness provokes thee.
strong and powerful you may be,
yet stubborn and proud as can be,
and the occasional cruelty,
is what triggers me to leave.
i threaten never to return,
yet i saw your children as i turn,
with wide eyes so enchanting,
i was refrained from departing.
patiently i teach your children,
so eager to listen and learn,
even your many wives are curious,
of this lady from another custom.
daily with your family i venture,
into the differences and similarities in culture,
through them i know more of you,
your strengths and courage unyield.
both fascinating and captivating,
we draw near yet withholding,
as we dance at the glamourous banquet,
our deepest passion finally uncage... -
hmm... issit me or poems based on movies tends to be longer?
-
One important point to note:
A vivid description of the movie, or the feeling you had would be great. The best if you can spiral towards the movement of the plot.

getting old, getting long-winded -
A good poem is a poem that totally describes everything without going out of point. Length is good, it makes readers able to visualize the scenarios, and the movement within the movie.Originally posted by tare:no wonder lah, mine machiam like movie synopsis!!

It's ok not to rhyme, it doesn't even have to rhyme but it must be able to bring out the touch and feel of a movie. -

5 more days to go!!!

where have all the poets go?!
come out..... come out..... wherever you are~~~~~~~ -
It would be sad to be choosing between the left hand and the right hand only. Anyway I was thinking that the down time makes it harder for people to notice the competition.
