@metaphor I haven's the best english of this world, but Id love to join, since I like to write poems (usually in my language but Id love to try a new thing). I'll submit my entry when I'll finish it. 😊

@metaphor Decided I'll participate, too. Do we post or PM our submissions? 😸
metaphor • 27 October 2013 at 12:49 PM
You can do whichever you prefer, but it would be easier for me to keep track of submissions if they are posted here.😊 @karamel

@metaphor may i join please?
metaphor • 27 October 2013 at 2:30 PM
@hybridrainbow Sure you may.😊Happy to see people showing some interest. I was beginning to worry illy prompt was too intimidating/vague and that I wasn't offering enough in terms of prizes...or both. my names on my storage account are so valuable to me, so I'm biased. Haha. Plus, I just snatched up some new ones recently.

@metaphor thanks 😉you're offering great prizes! and the criteria isn't too challenging.we can use our imagination to its full extent without being limited to stanzas and rhyming schemes.when the nov csp creatures come out, i'll advertise this contest for you so word gets out some more, if you don't mind?hoard those names girl. you'll be well prepared for when the name apocalypse hits eggcave xP

@metaphor My entry: Horsca + Park Bench In Ark City"On the white road,I'm walking alone.Cold snowflakes are fallingon my green body.Far, between the gray trees,I see a bench.......My horn, my hooves and scales, all are frozen.I called my herd - no answer - only my echo.I shake my golden mane for the last timeand into the emptiness I'll go."

@metaphor hold on thinking of one.. i'll participate I mean! 😊
metaphor • 29 October 2013 at 1:38 AM
I almost want to write a poem now. Haha, just for fun. Maybe to use as an example.Also, prize update: I made it so that the second place winner's SAR creature can have a name of choice from one of my sides as well.😊

@metaphor Idola + Haunted woodsSurrounded by dead treesHearing a wolf's howlWhere did everybody go?Seeds scatteredBonfires everywhereNowhere to ventureWhen the Idola is right there. It looks around and says, "I just wanted seeds!" hopefully that is okay... :/ can I post several ones?
metaphor • 30 October 2013 at 12:31 AM
@dream-within-a-dream Sure, I'll make it an official maximum of three poems per person.😊
Deleted • 30 October 2013 at 12:57 PM
@metaphor Three poems per person, huh? That's a great idea, because we surely love more than one specie here. 😋Okay, I never wrote an english poem, but I did my best. Hope you like them! x3#1 2nd stage Biwo - Tree of Sparkling. Footprints on the cold, soft snow,Tentacles of light that shine in the sunlightAnd a distant sound, muffled, confused.You walk without fear, wolfCamouflaging in the white snowAnd you stop just for a moment,Observing with your icy eyesThis place, so pure, that human eyes never sawSo deserted and quiet, crossed only by the footsteps of your pack.You wonder if everything will remain the same,Also after many years.But you do not have the answer.You raise the nose to the sky studded with starsAnd howl at the full moon,Your candid, silent friend.#2 2nd Stage Cetopia - The Northern DesertYou life's so simpleIn the endless, dead desertDay after day.But you sometimes ask yourselfWhy so many fear you,As you're a gentle soul.You ask why so many humansTrust the force of appearanceInstead of try to seeWhat lie beyond your mask.

@wererage Your English is perfectly fine, better than many of my peers' in college actually, so no worries; I understood both poems fine.😊
Deleted • 30 October 2013 at 3:21 PM
@metaphor Aw, that's a relief! Thank you very much. ❤️
karamel • 2 November 2013 at 8:33 AM
Shoot, I was going to do a Biwo with ToS as well. (The snowy theme... *-*) Nevermind. xDI found it so hard /not/ to make these poems rhyme or follow a rhythm. D:I've put the creatures and travels at the bottom so you can try to guess them as you read the poem, if you want. x3#1Her angelic wingsChasing the never-ending cotton candyFull of freedomFull of lifeSugary sweetnessGraceful perfectionHer tail, a contagious Cupid's arrowHer eyes, a one-of-a-kind opalHer body, nothing more thanA worn-outcharm.#2Never has a star shone as bright as thisIt guides me to where IBelongIn this curled stateI remain solitaryForeverHolding on to a non-existent hopeThat I will findSomeone.#3I see youGlaring, yet beaming,At the MoonYou are the devil's dream advocateBut you are also an angelSent straightfrom heaven.Are the rumours true?Will you lead me to theFine riches that are forever goldenor the inevitable darknessthat once wasyour light?I see youWishing for, yet cursing at,the Moon.1: Last stage Tine with Pink Clouds of Southwestern Ark2: 2nd stage (frozen) Nym with Star of Bethlehem3: Last stage Ahjoon with The Moontops

@metaphor My 2nd entry: Evolved Luskrull + Glowing Mushroom Fields''Howling wolves in the deep forest,black bird flying to the NorthAnd moonlight on my way,I walk through the glowing mushrooms.Their blinding light urges me to eat them....I refuse....My misty mane flowing under my bodyand my red eyes scaring other species,I sat down between the mushroomsand I howl with the wolves;With my inner beast forcing meto release it.I'm a monster......no, I'm a ghost - fear me!'Cause I'm the master of nightAnd those who will stay in my way,mercilessly, their soul I will take....."

I'm enjoying these entries so far, guys!I just added two more name options to the prize pool (Rocket and Domino), so if anyone has had his/her eye on those immortal names, now is the time to join! 😉
nenielsen • 16 November 2013 at 6:31 PM
@metaphor I'll enter! 😃Poem # 1:This poem is about my guinstar and the northern star travel. The sky is a deep dark seaFilled with spots of silverI blend in almost perfectlyWith my coat of feathersSo beautifulAs I stare into the glory of it allI wonder if I'll ever be lovedOr if I will fallLike the starsThe sky is so vastA big open spaceSo empty yet so fullLike my heart and its emotionsI miss the way it used to beWhen I was youngLife was so simpleI had friends and it was funBut now, I'm all aloneSorry I ended up rhyming a couple verses... -____-"I usually do rhyming poems 😊Poem # 2:This poem is about my diment and the haunted woods travel.Flying through the airIn the deepest darkest woodsMy surroundings I know are scaryBut I know I'm scarierThe moon shines down uponMy hard cracked faceAnd through my eyes you'll only seeTwo dark little holesAnd in those holes you'll see Silver flamesMy head is ringed with a deep purple ruffMy coat of fur is scarlet redIt's hard not to lookAt the vibrant colorsI think to myselfHow did I become?Was I born from a mother?Or an egg did I hatch from?I can't worry about that nowI'm nearly thereHalloween is my favorite nightTo grin and scareMy thirst for fear cannot be satisfied.Poem #3This one's about my frion and the travel poppy plainsI lay in the fieldThe sun about to setPoppies of redSurrounding meThey match the ring around my faceOh so perfectlyMy soft mint green furAnd my kind eyesMake me look lessLike the killer I am insideI am a prideful lionI hunt and I killI may seem friendlyBut I will kill youBut I will kill youI might add more later. 😉
barbyka • 17 November 2013 at 3:47 AM
@metaphor I'll enter 😊 1. Last stage Ott and Haunted WoodsThe Moon, she hangs like a cruel portrait Soft winds whisper the bidding of trees As this tragedy starts with a shattered glass heart And the Midnight trampling of dreams But oh, no tears please Fear and pain may accompany Death As We shall see...She was divinity's creature Far beyond compare Now a repeating nightmare... The trees stank of sunset and rotTheir lanterns chased phantoms Like the shadows they cast Putting reason to flight Or to death as their way I crept through woods mesmerized Searching Her ghost in the fog 2. Balrogipuwet and Faela CityTo be lost,confused, afraid,walking alone through abandoned city,knowing a monster lurks thereand it's haunting you.To be lost,confused, afraid and alone,through every single day,would you run from your fears,or stood up and fight?
