Enjeru no Kage
Hello, peeps. This is where you can see what's going on in my head today, find out what's going on in my life (not like anyone cares! lol), and where I can just hang my thoughts up for others to see. Check it out!
This is the proudest moment of my Gaian life...
Okay, so. You look up in that box to the top right, and what do you see? That little gold counter tells you how much of that precious Gaia gold you've hoarded, miserly, attempting to build and sit upon a vast sum of cash other Gaians may only look upon and envy. And what does it say?

31,521.

Hmmm... maybe if you tap the counter, it'll unstick and rocket up into the millions...

No. You have to earn it the hard way, and what a pain in the a** that is.

BUT!

Although some of my friends have gold by the hundreds, and others have gold by the millions (rich bastards... jk), though some are poor and others rich, I have attained an all-time personal high. I have reached that point I coveted long ago, wishing ever so hard that I could afford another 3k for the gunner coat...

My gold just popped up over 200k today, folks.

So in commemmoration of this event, I propose... A CONTEST!!

This is also how I figure out who subscribes to me... haha! Evil plan in effect. Anywhoo...

It's going to be a poetry contest with a Grand Prize winner, second place and third place. Be original, write your best, most creative work, and post it as a comment on my journal. I want to see a poem that will make me laugh, a poem that will make me cry, a poem that will make me look at the world in a completely different way! All subjects are open, all poetry types are allowed.

Grand Prize winner gets choice out of a May Thank-You Letter, a November Thank-You Letter, and Yokai's Treasure! Second place gets to choose from the remaining two, and third prize... well, you get the idea.

Invite friends to join the contest if you wish! The more, the merrier. Don't PM me about the contest, though. Donations are heart luffled heart But will not guarantee you a prize. But it's Christmas, so donate to whoever you can! Heck, I might just donate to some of the contestants... ninja

::EDIT::
Hehe, by the way, I'd like for the poems to be completely new and original. And don't pirate anyone else's poems... I have a couple of good friends that work for Plagiarism.org! They are legion, they are many, and they will not forgive...

Eh hem. And I suppose it would be useful to let you guys know the ultimate deadline date for this contest... All entries are due by the first of the year.

One more thing... keep your eyes open for updates!

::FURTHER EDIT::
Good news. I think. The contest is hereby extended to mid-January, the 15th to be exact! I may be adding in another prize, too, so stay tuned...

    Mute Love

    In rare winter sun
    A chilly breeze swirls about
    I look into your eyes
    There is love

    Gentle lips kiss yours
    A simple caress
    Lounging like cats
    Smiling and playful

    Later laying on pillows
    I gaze at your sleeping form
    Holding you in my arms
    Silently speaking

    "If I cannot say these words aloud
    If they will never come to my lips
    Know this
    Even in scilence I love you"

    The Wait
    By: Marlaina Morey

    Every day and every night all I can think about is, the wait.
    The ideas of our future together sit in my head and pick at it.
    I flash through everything that you and I have ever done together, and wish for the time to fly by.
    How can three little words imprison you so much?
    “I promise to...”
    I walk down the road and look at the places that you and I have created memories,
    Ordinary places transformed into wondrous adventures simply by the fact that we were side by side.
    But they don’t end there.
    With every time I see you, more memories are added to the chambers of my mind.
    Causing me to become all consumed by thoughts of you.
    And the wait that still lies ahead.
    My mind is bombarded with fantasies running wild, while questions abound, but alas answers are still too few.
    And so the waiting continues.

    Glass moon.

    Under a glass moon I walk
    my hope and dreams are so fragile.
    A deep dispair
    Under this glass mood I tread carefully
    for if my thoughts turn fierce my moon shall shatter.

    All to dust
    So my hopes and dreams sleep quietly
    as I walk under this fragile glass moon.

    ~~~~
    There I submited, hope yer happy....
