[Lawtan]

Shade I call,
Bade you wait,
Until my song freezes you still.
Light you fall,
Fears abate,
Into the shadows you will.

[Lawtan]

A mane of hair all down my spine,
A nose long and toothy,
In the night it walks,
With a prideful demeanor,
Leap and overtaking it encircles its prey,
With a mighty snap of the jaws,
Rend and tear with teeth so sharp,
The victim, life pouring,
Stares at its prison vest,
It signs and kicking it fades,
The king of the hunt now feeds.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Guiding lanterns, spirit bright,
Souls at helm by candle light.

[Espy]

strange
my usual black garments
strike a stark contrast against the blazing colors of fall
a thing i'm used to
but they eerily fit too well this time around

trembling
i take a deep breath
and lift the flute up to my parched lips
a wavering note
and then another
a haunting melody soon floats out through the dancing leaves

music
i weave my life into harmonies
the critters keep my company while the men look on
i forget the noose
and ignore the floor that suddenly disappears beneath my feet

Still taking poems?
Here's mine:

The sun has set
Dusk comes once again
The little birds sleep
And the deer rest their heads
I thought of nothing but you today
My dear
As I watched the moon come up
And of your bright shining eyes

[Azaranth]

I hope you all like my poem. :D

Found Amongst the Bones in Saberhaven Mansion

The cold chills I feel now are a warm welcome.
They make me feel calm as I once was in your arms.
I sense your touch on my shoulder and cling to our memories.
I can feel you but I cannot touch you.
This delightful torture I cannot live without.
I will stay here with you forever my love.
Don’t ever let me go.

[Lawtan]

Mind if I reserve this post for the morning (Somewhat typed out...if that is possible)

[Dutchess Eglantine]

Whispers in the midnight dew
Joyous in their trilling
Oh the memories of years gone past
Echoed by the crickets chirping

This contest is lame.

[Arikana]

Don't mind Ashy. She can be mean (in a joking way) at times. >_>

[Azaranth]

I really like Espy's poem. I don't have the patience for formatting poems into shapes though. I admire it for sure though. :3
