Friendly Little Competition

[gintare]

Basically the goal of this game is to beat each other in the world of poetry. That may sound boring but there is a type of poetry that is VERY fun.

Spoiler

I Am
I am (two special characteristics)
I wonder (something you actually wonder about)
I hear (an IMAGINARY sound)
I see (an IMAGINARY sight)
I want (an actual desire)
I am (the first line of the poem restated)
I pretend (something you actually pretend to do)
I feel ( a feeling about something IMAGINARY)
I touch ( an IMAGINARY touch)
I worry ( something that really bothers you)
I cry ( something that makes you sad)
I am ( the first line of the poem restated)
I understand ( something you know is true)
I say ( something you believe in)
I dream ( something you actually dream about)
I try ( something you really make an effort about)
I hope (something you actually hope for)
I am ( the first line of the poem restated)

I will be the judge for who is the best for every 5 people. Remember to try your best and to have fun!
( I may also add new forms of fun, expressing poetry as I find them)

Here is an example:

Spoiler

I Am
I am smart and funny
I wonder about how things work
I hear a rose petal drop
I see a floating farm
I want people to see eye-to-eye with me
I am smart and funny
I pretend the world is a better place
I feel what it is like to fly on a hawk
I touch a dinosaur
I worry when people tease me
I cry when people tease my friends
I am smart and funny
I understand you are what you make of yourself
I say your name does not define you, you define your name
I dream of space
I try to do my best
I hope I can reach my goals someday
I am smart and funny

Now you try!

Can it be through the eyes of something else? Or does it have to be yourself?

[Zander]

I am unique and different
I wonder what makes one distant
I hear the distant one roar
I see them to begin to soar
I want to talk to the one who is distant
I am unique and different
I pretend to soar with them
I feel like a gem
I touch their hand with grace
I worry they feel out of place
I cry when I can't help the one who is distant
I am unique and different
I understand they need to be them
I say I can help 'em
I dream of bringing them back
I try to bring them to the pack
I hope to help the one who is distant
I am unique and different
Eh, I don't know... I'm not much of a writer...

[randomname]

I think is more appropriate to the Popsicle Stand--moving it for you--

[Malitae]

I am creative and realistic
I wonder how the future will turn out
I hear people laughing
I see people crying
I want to do well in life
I am creative and realistic
I pretend to be someone I'm not
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders
I touch my dreams and ambitions
I worry about messing things up
I cry about the hate in the world
I am creative and different
I understand peoples feelings
I say people should understand
I dream of a better world
I try to help people
I hope I can make a difference
I am creative and realistic

[gintare]

It can be through the eyes of someone else as long as you make it really seem as if you are that person, or thing.

P.S I think both of you are off to a GREAT start (Zander and Milate) Just 3 more people to go and the first winner will be announced!

Keep writing guys!

The Shadow

I am the darkness that follows you, the twin to your soul,
I wonder if you notice me, ‘ever trapped in the cold,
I hear your breath, your heart, your every-day life,
I see you conquer and live without even a strife,
I want to be by your side, completed and whole,
I am the darkness that follows you, the twin to you soul.

I pretend not to hear you, not to see, not to think,
I feel that I am trapped far beyond the brink,
I need the warmth of that sun that I always see, and
I worry if I’ll ever be free,
I cry during night, when the sun’s hidden below
I am the darkness that follows you, the twin to you soul.

I understand a shadow can never leave,
I believe there is a reason that I cannot retrieve,
I dream of the day that I could talk,
I try not to fear of the steps that I walk,
I hope, one day, you will know,
I am the darkness that follows you, the twin you your soul.

[BunneHood]

I am optimistic and adventurous.
I wonder if pets can understand us, but not talk.
I hear harps playing and choirs singing.
I see a wide open field with a sword and shield.
I want to see the world.
I am optimistic and adventurous.
I pretend I am in video games and books.
I feel that someone is looking for me.
I touch rough, scaly monsters and fluffy clouds.
I worry my friends will hurt eachother.
I cry when my family is in an argument.
I am optimistic and adventurous.
I understand God has a plan for me.
I say better ask forgiveness than permission.
I dream of flying and fighting all evil with my friends.
I try to be happy for my always angry/sad friends.
I hope that everyone could just get along.
I am optimistic and adventurous.

One more person to go! These are all really good and Nightlyscare... that is quite a creative twist, still very good but not exactly what I expected... Nice Job.

Life

I am the breath of the world, the heartbeat in you,
I wonder if you ever think of all that I do;
I hear your soul sing in the night,
I see all that is in your sight;
I want you to enjoy me before I bid adieu;
I am the breath of the world, the heartbeat in you...

I pretend things never go bump in the night, but
I feel the your mind become gripped with fright;
I touch you deep in your soul in empathy,
I worry that these words will become an elegy,
I cry when I see your world has gone askew;
I am the breath of the world, the heartbeat in you...

I understand when things get just a little rough,
I say that things sometimes have to be tough;
I dream of the day that I will never say goodbye,
I try to keep everything from going awry;
I hope you know you don't get a redo;
I am the breath of the world, the heartbeat in you...
