@crown Aww, thank you. 😊 I really like your poem by the way. It feels like it has all the elements of spring in it.

@ethereality Here is my poem, maybe it's not too long but I hope that it'll be enough

And all again the Sun is rising
Her hatred burns innocent snow
Beutiful silver stars surviving
In fear run far from burning bow

Human eyes suffer from her arrows
As she is stronger than before
The pure hearts pushed to edge of sorrow
Watch her long sit on Great Moon's throne

But somewhere near a forest small
Aware of all this lives a girl
Whose rich in virtues heart and soul
Convince her that's what she should say:

"Of all things in material world
Nature is one that gives most peace
Moon's beauty lives in plants reborn
That from now on grant silver dreams

Since artists' thing is admiration
for all the things that make mind bloom
Just look around for inspiration
Let flowers get your thoughts in tune"

My poem:

SPRING SONG

The winter months are almost done
Making way for spring
Say goodbye to bright white snow
And welcome in the sun

All around the world awakes
Opening up its eyes
The flowers are spreading out their petals
Awaiting the sunrise

The bees are busy around their hives
Giving themselves no rest
The birds are gathering twigs and feathers
To build up their nests

Weeks ago the world was sleeping
Wrapped up in a blanket of snow
Now the trees are bright with colour
Green grass replacing snow

Hope you like it!! ❤️

@ethereality here have go:

@ethereality Here's my attempt! 😃

Spring Symphony

The golden sun starts the play
By bringing out her day
Lifting the curtains that Winter's placed
Prior to the show.

The song starts with her golden highness's
Warm sunlit smile on you
And the cool breeze sings its song on the leaves
In rhythm with the tune.

The birds count in their rhythmic chirps
The metronome of the world
While the trees and grasses sway in the wind
Performing their choreographed dance.

Confetti-like pollen floats through the air
Giving the stage some flair
The rich green earth and clear blue sky
Make up the beautifully created backdrop.

As the butterflies dance and the birds sing
Onto the stage walks Spring
The star of the show has made herself known
So it's time to enjoy the outdoor stage!

@ethereality Really? Alright then. My nickname will be Mocha. Thank you very much for allowing me to participate.


Theme:Spring

ethereality • 12 May 2018 at 9:11 PM

@playermocha345 Of course. Since you made it within the first 24 hours, you get bonus 0.1 points!

iris1929578 • 12 May 2018 at 9:19 PM

@ethereality

My attempt, though I do not think I will win.

Spring has Come

Winter moves away
The air feels slightly warmer
At last, Spring has come

Can I edit this? Because I probably will.

ethereality • 12 May 2018 at 9:34 PM

@iris1929578 Yes, but as of right now you are receiving 0.1 bonus points. If you edit it, post the new one onto the thread so I can judge it but I will take away the bonus points. Dont worry though 0.1 is easily recovered if you really improve your writing because the score is out of 10.

iris1929578 • 12 May 2018 at 11:58 PM

I think I can get the 0.1 points right now still? @ethereality

AABC

As Spring settles in

Winter has released its frosty hold,
After three long months of freezing cold.
At last, the snow starts melting,
As Spring settles in.

The animals start coming out,
Trees and flowers start to sprout.
The rivers start to whisper,
As Spring settles in.

Birds start to chirp and start to sing,
Spreading out magnificent wings.
Bees buzz around blooming flowers,
As Spring settles in.

The world around is is exciting,
Plants and animals all are thriving.
The sun shines brightly,
As Spring settles in.



*bow* this was a pain to type, iPad issues, but I did it!

*applause* clap clap clap
@iris1929578 It’s amazing! I can imagine your words in my mind.

@ethereality
Can the next rounds theme be sometime that can be described?
Like a dragonfly or mushroom or anything material. Then we can describe how it represents anything.

Deleted • 13 May 2018 at 5:47 AM

@playermocha345 Oh! That's a cool idea...talking of perspectives, it could be like a poem abt what _____ means to you? Unless that's too deep XDXD

Deleted • 13 May 2018 at 5:58 AM

@crown yeah it does have to have a set topic if not, there would be too many choices to choose from.
The stress of making a decision..
Should I choose Oreos? Or the Single Pringles?

ethereality • 13 May 2018 at 10:27 AM

skyfall4 • 15 May 2018 at 2:12 PM

@playermocha345
Grass. Sunlight. Sky. Butterflies. Allergies.

ethereality • 15 May 2018 at 3:48 PM

@crown @playermocha345 @skyfall4 thanks guys! xD and yes! Deadline is approaching 😱

Deleted • 15 May 2018 at 5:57 PM

@skyfall4 Why Allergies? Are you possible allergic to flowers and their pollen?
I agree with the automatic thoughts of lush green grass, clear sky and hot weather.

skyfall4 • 15 May 2018 at 6:19 PM

@playermocha345
No I'm not allergic- I just think of pollen and then the people who get allergies from it 😋

ethereality • 15 May 2018 at 8:11 PM

@marner, @thedarkarcher, @prairie, @chameleon, @power

Hey guys! 3 days left! 😊

Everybody else has self-eliminated or let me know beforehand, or submitted their poem by now.

sorrow • 15 May 2018 at 8:35 PM

@skyfall4
I thought of allergies, too! (well, duh, its actually my poem)

Ooof sorry its so late!

Allergies

Soon as the newborn sheep start to bleat
My poor nose starts to leak
Dogs are out for walks
So my skin breaks out in red sparks

Flowers bloom
a sight of doom
Eyes welling common
Why is there this much pollen?
Spring has sprung,
I'm so done.

Are we allowed to chat here? If so, how would y'all explain your writing styles? I usually write short humor poems in an AABBCC ect. form. (I guess im like Natsuki?)

ethereality • 15 May 2018 at 8:45 PM

@marner

No worries! 😊 Thanks for submitting!

skyfall4 • 15 May 2018 at 8:51 PM

@marner
Lmao that is a great poem 😊

ethereality • 15 May 2018 at 9:33 PM

@marner Yes!! Of course 😊 Please do chat 😃

id2d • 15 May 2018 at 9:43 PM

Omg, I am loving all of the poems on here. Great work everybody! 😊

Deleted • 16 May 2018 at 1:05 AM

Whose Natsuki? Care to explain anyone?My poem was given life when I saw the theme. Spring has 2 meanings.
1)noun-a season when nature blooms again.
2)verb-the action of jumping up suddenly or in my case skipping merrily.
My winter spirit is leaving the season and is watching the happy flowers swaying in the wind.
She sees them the winged creatures but will not near. She says farewell and flees to a different country, to dance and spin on her own alone.
She’s like going on a vacation and will return soon, a touch of sadness as she dances alone yet happiness at watching spring. Rhyming things are fun, ideas pop up and I just write them down. Nature is my muse I guess.

@marner I’m not allergic to anything so I can say I’ve never experienced those symptoms but it’s got to be frustrating, seeing a beautiful scenery but unable to fully enjoy it all.
