    At My Grandmother’s Funeral

    I wrote this based on my first experience at a funeral, a grandmother's funeral, at four years old. I understood what I was supposed to feel, but because my grandmother was the evil/hateful person that she was, I just didn't feel any sadness for her. I thought it was an interesting emotional situation, so I wrote a poem about it.


    Her hands clasp one another across her
    chest. I am confused by the relaxed
    smile spread across her pale lips – as if
    she’d died in some gentle repose. Her
    anguished moans ring in my ears, and
    that impersonal curse I’d overheard,
    uttered with her last and final breath.


    I look up at my father. Tears flood from
    his eyes, encircled in a delicate brown -
    trails of saltwater travel down his
    hallowed cheeks - spent from days
    mourning our loss. His jacket sleeve
    darkened by what’s been wiped away.

    I look back to that open casket with
    no ache in my heart for this stiffened,
    gentle-faced woman. At four, I understand
    death perfectly well. She cannot yell or
    scream or call me names anymore. My chest
    swells and I exhale with satisfied relief.

    ~*~

    It Leaves the Mouth Wanting

    I was inspired to write this poem when I had a dry mouth, and for some reason I thought about being in the desert. I can't really say anything about it beyond that.


    Tan dunes roll into blue skies, seamless, forever. I stand
    against the sand and wind and flinch as it lacerates
    my limbs. Drops of bitter blood find their way into my
    mouth, where around and around, my tongue searches for
    moisture in the flesh lining of cheeks. I would cry from pain,
    but my tears are scorched crumbs of salt, and I am coated, from
    head to toe in thick white chalk. My body aches for the humid
    swell of a Geogian heat. Here, an angered sun glares into my
    skull, tanning me into dried leather, devoid of water.

    Mohammad found god in the desert and the Jews, by the graces
    of a similar god, found their way home, and I am positive
    that Buddha walked on hot sand in his attempts to understand
    human misery. Krishna and Loki smile down at me, faces
    imprinted in a cloudless sky. Their cackles echo amongst
    the dunes, I lay, listening, devout in my meditations
    to you, all of you, every last god.

    I’ve prayed and let the sun tan my hide for days, yet still
    there is just one voice, my voice in your response:
    “I never meant for this.”
    I ask:
    “Where are you?”
    Your words, again, my haggard tone:
    “Learn.”
    I bury my head, deep, and listen to the desert. Its sand fills
    my ears with its heat, and speaks in gentle groans:
    “Never owned.”
    in sink my hands, shoulders, stomach, thighs, legs, feet,
    evermore unconscious of my need for survival.

    The format towards the bottom is spaced strangely because of the INDENT function. It's as close to its original format as I can get it.
    Its fine. All I ask for is effort! : )

    Thanks Judges! After adding up the votes I have determined a final four! Deathblade receives 5th and almost made it, but sadly one vote wasn't enough.

    FINAL FOUR
    Luzifer
    Princess Cupcake
    Hollow Ichigo
    Pleasant_Disorder

    I will be giving you all extended time.. aka ONE week from tommorow to write a 8-14 line poem about "AF". Yes, about anime forum itself. Any type of poetry will do. Post your entry on the thread and good luck!

    Do I have to write about AF (what it is in itself) or can I write about my personal relationship with the site (what the site is to me)?

    The tragedy of life comes not from pain, despair, sorrow, or even death; but the constant annihilating amnesia that begs us to forget we live.

    lol With the theme being "AF" I'm actually quite glad for fifth. Writing about AF would either A) be something that no-one gets unless they were on before 2004, B) boring and no one likes, or C) Get me in trouble with a lot of older members. ~.^ I can happily take fifth. Good luck to those going on to the next round. XDDD

    That's why I'm making it easier xD. The poem only has ONE limitation now. It must be longer than 8 lines, but can go as long as you like.

    Really, all I do on this forum is RP...sooooo...guess what my poems about.


    Different Worlds Somewhere on the Internet


    Lightning crackles at a child-looking woman’s fingertips. Her face
    small and round and pale like a full moon. Two men stand in
    opposition, and in a flurry of typed words, I have instructed her
    to lose, and lose she does.

    Backspace to AnimeForum>Interactive>RPG.
    Scroll mouse down. Click.

    A pirate boy scans maps on an infamous pirate ship for an infamous
    pirate captain and knows the ocean’s every current, he's been plotting
    to steal Aristotle’s texts, while in another ship’s hull, a large-breasted
    doctor pushes her needle through skin and muscle, stitching up their
    punishment from the captain himself.

    Backspace to AnimeForum>Interactive>RPG.
    Down-button. Down-button. Click.

    Another woman suturing wounds, tending the many with gentle hands
    and tender eyes, but at her commander’s demand, she will stand, ready
    to fight and kill for yet another senseless war no one believes in.

    Up-right corner. X. Click. AnimeForum.com closed.

    They're gonna get my gold on the ceiling
    Just a matter of time before they steal it
    That's alright, ain't no guard in my house.

    (Since I'm only on the interactive portions I mostly focused on that aspect. Primarily it focus on the void of anonymity that surrounds a forum by its nature as all involved use masks to create their idealized self or the self they cannot be in their own life. From the denouncing of "untalented hacks" to the uplifting of "skilled writers", all these judgement are made prefaced entirely on the fact that our trueselves shall never be seen and our actions bear no meaningful repercussions.)

    Personae

    Masquerade of faceless form
    Nameless cackling hounds
    Inspiration, lightning storm
    The magi gather round

    Common songs are played
    Pawned off as the new
    Plithy phrases twisted, flayed
    A nation here is hewed

    Crafted stories farc’cal verse
    Scattered all around
    Gold-lief words, shouted curse
    Howl with wordless sound

    the coven comes to judge
    the verdict comes to pass
    casting praise and grudge
    like so much fresh cut grass

    What does the sound and fury
    Even signify?
    A massive unnamed jury
    Shall judge Persona-I

    The tragedy of life comes not from pain, despair, sorrow, or even death; but the constant annihilating amnesia that begs us to forget we live.

    This time, I went with a more lighthearted tone. I did my best to embody the essence of AF in this poem by including various aspects of it's make up. As a long time member, I wrote it through my perspective and some of the activites I see/partake in. I'll admit, it was a challange for me but I enjoyed writing about AF and I hadn't realized it could give me such inspiration. I hope you guys like my poem! This was super cool getting to do the poetry contest and I look forward to more of them in the future =]

    Loving the entries so far! Hollow Ichigo.. still needing yours, but take your time. Only two will be going through to the finals and I can promise you the topic will either be about:

    Life OR Death.

    So this is about AF and my normally day on it

    Bookmarks, saved links, accepted
    Anime Forum brightens my screen
    The glow of familiarity baths my face in delight
    Three clicks, enter, post
    It time for the man to go
    The Abyss opens to the wandering man
    Whom's bittrr face finds true in falsehood
    Clcik, click, click
    The post is made, my character jumps with the raven fangs
    Finally, Yes, Oh Yeah
    My friends posts next
    They moved their character to the second King's best.
    Boom, boom, ahhhhhhhhh
    Now I am dead, the pirates heart has been shred
    How I enjoy the winds of change
    Anime forum will forever be here to stay.

    I thought we were supposed to deliberate with one another, but uhh, this is much easier I guess?

    After consideration for all the entries the following have received my vote.

     

    Princess Cupcake
    Luzifer


    Perhaps the world was never meant to make perfect sense.

    I was a wee bit disappointed with the entries. I felt the theme wasn't very well reflected in some of the entries as they could have been applied to any forum.

    Nevertheless, based on creativity, flow and execution. The two entrants I select are (in alphabetical order)
     
    Luzifer and Princess Cupcake


    Tru Fax: Princess Minako wrestled Jesus... and won
