Hi...dunno if this is the right place to post this but anyways! I've got a contest- well really, more of a challenge cos there's no monetary reward- at my Poetic WOrld of Words website http://homestead.com/ttjazz/poems.html The topic is "I am..." and the piece can be in poetry, prose, or any forms of art. All poems in good taste will eventually go onto a site I'm going to create for the contest, and the winners will get a "hard copy" (that is, desktop published LOL) of the entire anthology, plus their poems put on the front page to the website-to-be. If you want to submit your work, please go to my website and post it there. The addy again: http://homestead.com/ttjazz/poems.html Hope I haven't broken any rules by posting this here. Farewell  ------------------ ~What if you slept? What if, in your sleep, you dreamed? And in your dream, you went to heaven and there plucked a strange and beautiful flower? And what if, when you awoke, you had that flower in your hand? Aye, what then?~ |

I am the moonlight on the ocean, I am the whirlwind in it's fury, I am the scent of Springtime gardens, I am water in it's sweetest purity. I am the summer warmth caressing your skin, I am the glowing embers within your heart, I am the crystals of freshly fallen snow, I am the sweetness of a freshly baked tart. I am truth hiding beneath the veil, I am the ocean as it exhales upon the shore, It's gentle sounds a melody, No tempest to endure. I am the stars above the slumbering hills, I am the warmth of the desert sand, I am a voice of wisdom and peace, That can be heard across the land. I am the blinding snowstorm, I am the mirror imaged lake, I am the howling storm winds, I am the terrorizing earthquake. I am a haunted soul, Sometimes emotionally lacking, I am the choppy ocean waves, That give the shores a lashing. I am the nurturing mother, I am the loving wife, I am beauty, grace and wisdom, I am a part of life. ------------------ Through poetry my heart and soul truly sing... ~Isis~ (Daughter of Mystery) |

I have two- here is the first. 1:34 AM I am the superficial nihilist I am the paradox of lies I'm hunting while I'm being hunted I am the truth that you despise I am the burier of the bone I kill nothing important Only time, perhaps someday myself I'm always with people, yet always alone Im as insignifigant as they come I am the brilliant moron The strong-willed doormat I am the walking contradiction The living mistake I am all these things At 1:34 AM ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices.

The second one- Me(an acrostic) Sporadic happiness Yesterday's kind Self-induced misery Tortured Excell at failure My own worst enemy Aspirations gone Trusting of no one Infinite hate Corrosion of morals Deaf to all hope Emotional destruction Collapse of sanity Avoiding the truth Youth of America ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |

does it have to start with "I am"? this is my self portrait that i posted on open also self portrait (a window seat view) a flower in a pot, held captive by her roots some say she's pretty, me, I don't know. she reaches for the sun with all that she knows and attempts each day to bloom. small things bring pleasures one day at a time children and puppies, rainbows and blue skies, dessert at lunch, for she's a taoist you see, and her pleasure count starts anew each and every day. but deep inside, if you could see, she doesn't need much to reach for the stars she just needs a different gardener and a pot with room to grow |

I am condradiction, A oxymoron. I am a thinker, Yet an artist. A mother, But still a child. I am a lover, Yet stone cold. I am stubborn and willful. Freespirited, Yet grounded. I am what I give, But I am empty. I am a sinner, Yet still a saint. I am unique, But like everyone else. I am me, Yet still evolving. copywrite 1999 M.H. |
