Chapter 21 Other Contest Entries Cause They Were Really Fantastic

A/N: ok here are the other contest entries they were really good I just couldn't leave them lying around!!

This poem was really good! I liked the rhyming!

"Divide and conquer," you hear them say

But you're divided anyway

When you try to sort them out orderly

The result is a mess for the world to see

Why not mix them as you please?

The good, the bad, and the in-between

Night and day and afternoon

Will meld together very soon

Black and white and red and green

They blend together, now what do you see?

You look around, find it, before your eyes

You sift through the colors and then realize

That you've known good and bad, night and day

When all that matters are the Shades of Grey

-Xakinera

I liked in this poem how the raining could not affect the love for them!

Let It Rain

Let it rain

As I get lost in his eyes

As he holds me

Let it rain

When he entwines

our fingers together

Let it rain

When he picks me up

And twirls me around

Let it rain

As he puts me down

And our eyes meet

Let it rain

When he smiles at me

When I feel truly free

Let it rain

As we share a kiss that will last

A whole lifetime

When the rain clouds go away

Let the sun shine

But Still

Let it rain

-SoraXNamine

I liked in this poem how the girl would never give up for her son!

Against The World

She faces the world,

one day at a time

her childhood is over

and its not even time

Her face is bright

and knowing the pain

They tried to take him

from her

but she wouldn't let him go

She made that choice

now its all up to her

to help her baby grow.

Some say that she's ruined,

a failure who's got nothing left

yet she smiles and laughs

like its nothing

A true open heart,

that she has

Boldly she says her life isn't over

on the contrary tis only begun

A brand new girl in a

brand new world

with nothing but a love for her

son.

-HiddenWavePrincess

I liked in this poem the simplicity in it and yet how much thought was put into it!

-Lily, My Lily-

Lily, my lily

My sweetheart divine

Lily, my lily

Won't you be mine?

Lily, red lily

Your eyes are enthralling

Your smile so dazzling

I think that I'm falling.

Lily, lovely lily

Your hair shines like silk

Your voice is a song

(Pst, Remus - what rhymes with silk?)

Lily, pretty lily

I'll be your buff hero

Your knight in Cadogan's armor

Who loves you so dear-o.

Lily, sweet lily

Most precious of flowers

Your heart is my castle

My sky-scraping towers.

Lily, little lily

I will love you forever

And so will Sirius, Remus, and Peter -

When we're old, we can drink tea together!

Lily, my lily

My beauty so fine

Lily, my lily

Won't you be mine?

-James Potter

James, dear James

You crazy buffoon

I promise I'll be yours

When the sun swallows the moon!

-Lily Potter

-The Fat Chipmunk

I liked in this poem how they used numbers and how you really have to think about the meaning and feeling in it!

I wait here

Quite lonely.

It's not as if I'm not

Used to it.

But yet,

You're never quite used to

Nothing at all.

Because

Nothing at all is what

It is.

I'm not so lonely

Anymore.

But that face I saw

Reminds me who I am.

I am nobody.

Nobody at all.

That's who

I'll stay.

That's how he wants

It to be.

That's how it shall be.

Blood.

It's not as gruesome

When you think that it's the

Same colour as

Roses.

But it doesn't matter

Because darkness is all I

Now see.

-nameofanangel

I liked in this poem the rhyming and the whole design of it!

Don't

Don't let him see your tears fall,

Don't let him see your gaze stall.

Don't let him know you miss his sweet caress,

His touch that told him your greatest weakness.

Don't let him see the battle raging deep inside,

Don't let him know your loosing your fight.

Don't let him soothe and heal your broken heart,

Because he's the one who smashed it and made all the scars.

Don't let him back inside your mind,

For fear of the thoughts, he will find.

Don't let him hear you call his name,

Choke back the tears lock up the pain.

Don't let him see the pain in your eyes,

Don't let him know your not fine.

Don't let him see behind your faked smile,

You haven't meant it for a while.

Don't let guilt or regret take a hold,

Don't think of the things you never was told.

Don't let him see you fall to the ground,

Don't let him see you tied up and bound.

-Draco's Emerald Princess

I liked this poem because it was really funny!

Independence Day

19 feet long,

Caged up in a zoo,

And every day,

Tourists come through.

They tap on the glass,

Ignoring the sign,

"Please don't harass!"

I've been planning revenge,

Since the day I was caught,

I don't care whatever,

Them guards have been taught.

I'll coil up and strike the glass,

And when the glass breaks,

I'll slither through the mass.

I'll escape into the open,

And live in the sewer,

And bite evry person,

Who happens to be taking a pooer.

3 months later,

I'll be in a river,

And in my stomach...a live waiter!

I'll make it to the ocean,

The Atlantic to be precise,

And swim 'til I'm tired,

My, won't that be nice!!

I'll escape to my home,

The plains of Africa,

And I'll never roam,

Never, never, never!

-Xakinera

I liked the rhyming in this poem and this poem is a tribute to Easter!

The Bunny JamboreeIt was the day of the bunnies, the day they reined free.
It was Easter Sunday, the bunny jamboree.
Eggs found abound, hidden in strife, for all the kiddies and for all the wives.

They'll be watching, waiting in the sides.
Waiting for the time to go back to their lives.
Lives of mundane and lives of greed.
Where carrots are sought and feet are in need.

It's the time where they laugh, the time where they play.
Where the eggs have a meaning like no other day.
They're eggs of joy, they lay hidden and meek.
Waiting for the child that finds them,
The child that seeks.

The bunnies are free and they're coming for you.
Showing you the joys of looking in a shoe.
Live for this moment, live for this day.
For this is the day where the bunnies are at play.

-Silverlycan

I liked in this poem how it is sooooo true!

You know
Love is like a red red rose.
Because it's beauty blinds you,
Then you pick it and
The thorns prick you til your fingers are blue.
Then you drop it.
But seconds later you find yourself
Thinking of that rose again.
Hour after hour.
You either pick it right back up,
Or find another flower!

-Hermione Granger

-nameofanangel

I liked in this poem the good use of words and how you have to think because there could be many different meanings!

Creating the thoughts
The images of life
Scars of the past
Sinking beneath
Physically forgotten
Mentally viewed in spades

Pain of the skin forgotten
Mind ever present
Unforgotten the memories play
Surrounding
Intoxicating in their pain

Memories fade
The pain stays
Forever hurting
Forever jaded
Taking over
Remaining incomplete
Nothing replaces
Everything stays
Forever in your mind
Forever at play.

-Harry Potter

-Insatiabledark

I liked this poem cause it is kinda confusing but yet it makes sense all at the same time!

Deafening Silence

The murmur of the crowd.
The sound of wind on the lake.
They can't even begin to mask it,
so loud is the silence.
Between the thumping of my heart,
I hear it, that overpowering
emptiness,
as my world rips in two.
You're telling me you're leaving, maybe explaining why.
But I can hardly even hear your voice
over that deafening silence.

-Ginny Weasley

-Samiseriouslyam

I liked in this poem how it is about wanting to be grat and how hard it can be! This one was good!

I want to be great

I walk and tread my lonely way
through a crowd of faces stale.
And think about the dread doomsday
that made ambition fail.

Who could understand the need
to be seen? I feel it hard and sure.
Who is there, who indeed
who could feel these feelings more?

I hate you, I spit in your eye,
I ignore you, I hold you in contempt.
We'll watch the soldiers marching by
as far as you have dreamt.

Let every robot take their spoils,
Let every human weep.
Let us speak not of our toil,
Dear God! This road is steep!

-Lady Domino

I liked in this poem the similes and the great imagery!

Clouds and Rain

Clouds and rain
Still now in her hand
Ghost white in the moonlight
Smooth as alabaster
Silver as angels' wings
Drifting through the water
Serene at last
Her face washed clean
Of clouds and rain

-Cassandra12271

I liked in this poem how it is kinda like a song! And how it makes you feel protected!

Whenever ur in darkness
And u hav nowhere else to turn
Call upon ur guardian angel
and soon you will learn

that they'll always be there 4 u
to hold ur habd tight
protect u from any danger
and be ur guiding light.

-BrightestStarInTheNightSky

I liked the rhyming in this poem! and its just really good!

What did I do wrong?

I was playing in my room
I was being quiet I swear
But daddy didn't think so I assume
Because he came out of his lair
He charges through the door
Just his presents causes me to fear
He throws me on the floor
I wish I wasn't here
Mummy hides away in her room
But I should be happy about that I suppose
At least she doesn't have to go through this doom
I guess that just the way life goes
I just stay there taking hit after hit
Wishing you weren't so violent
You smack my head on the floor, I'm sure it's split
Then you leave the room, everything's silent
Lying on the floor weak
From your poundings which were so strong
All the while thinking of the answer I seek
What did I do wrong?

-BrightestStarInTheNightSky

I liked the wording and the thought put into this poem!

As is the world
Collapsing upon itself
As you once were, your children now are
Reveling around each other
Falling into sync with the society of the unknown
Death awaits the vagabonds
The ones who defy
Ever falling into the great divine

-Voldemort

-Insatiabledark

I liked how this poem is sooo true! When war is upon us we watch then wait then hopefully…peace!

Watching...
Waiting...

Families are together
Waiting for the battle
Prepared for the deaths
Watching...

Lovers hold each other close
Knowing what is coming
Making every moment precious
Waiting...

Small children huddle close together
Not really understanding
The importance of the lives they hold
Watching...

The elderly sit and think
Remembering the war before
So many lives were lost
Waiting...

Tension builds up in the heart
People start to wonder
There is no place to go
Watching...

Everything is in a blur
Everyone's in confusion
Time slows to a stop
Waiting...

The final battle is occurring
Jets of light everywhere
The evil of the world is conquered
Peace.
