Contest Entries So Far

Contest Entries So Far
Nicola 3:31am

We are just the SKELETON CREW,

the last WARM BODIES

after WORLD WAR Z.

I, a LIVING DEAD GIRL,

exist in THE SHADOW OF THE WIND,

dreaming of THE DEAD AND THE GONE,

HAUNTED by the

TORMENT OF OTHERS.

I LINGER

in THE DEAD ZONE,

waiting for the ALL CLEAR,

but I'll never BEG FOR MERCY.

Alia 2:59am

DR NO has an

AFFINITY for SHARP OBJECTS.

He's in THE BUSINESS of ALTERED CARBON,

Practising THE ART OF DECEPTION,

Answering the MIRROR, MIRROR prayers of a NATION.

After THE RITUAL, THE SCAR will be GONE FOREVER.

I have NOTHING TO LOSE.

So why do I LINGER on THE ROAD?

THE TRUTH is,

That MONSTROUS REGIMENT of BEAUTIFUL CREATURES makes me SHIVER.

Among 400 BILLION STARS, how do you tell

THE ONE FROM THE OTHER?

Tina 2:02 am

THE STORY OF ZAHRA

One of PRINCESS SULTANA'S DAUGHTERS

THE WOMEN OF SAND AND MYRRH

Full of GRANDMOTHER'S SECRETS

And ARAB FOLKTALES

Traveling THE ROAD TO TAHRIR SQUARE

Wearing a VEIL OF ROSES

She leaves the THE HOUSE OF OBEDIENCE

And DREAMS OF TRESPASS

Or an EXIT TO EDEN

THE ARABIAN NIGHTS

Are full of NADIA'S SONG

SAND CASTLES

Like ATLANTIS RISING

Remembering STOLEN LIVES

SEVEN DAUGHTERS AND SEVEN SONS

Making THE CHOICE

A TRUST BETRAYED

UNEXPLAINED

Chasing TOMORROW'S DREAM

SCHEHEREZADE GOES WEST

Whispering to ANGELS ">

Rena 12:50am

THE BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DEAD

ONE THOUSAND WHITE WOMEN go

TO THE END OF THE LAND for

THE LAST GREAT DANCE ON EARTH.

They SHIVER

in THE CLOTHES ON THEIR BACKS,

A THOUSAND YEARS OF GOOD PRAYERS

their only CONSOLATION.

There are DREAMS UNDERFOOT.

These DEAD SOULS

MARCH to meet

the MASTER OF THE CROSSROADS.

The UNDERWORLD

is FOR THE RELIEF OF UNBEARABLE URGES,

Where the WICKED

are FOREVER

SILENT IN THE GRAVE.

The CHOSEN

those REMARKABLE CREATURES

are for THE WORLD TO COME

where ALL SHALL BE WELL AND ALL SHALL BE WELL AND ALL MANNER OF THINGS SHALL BE WELL.

Megan 12:05am

The Last Song plays.

I am Forever bested,

by A Bend In The Road.

Matched step for step,

left pleading for Twilight,

I whisper "Hush Hush, my darling

I have only just Fallen."

If I Stay,

I shall Wake,

If I Linger,

I shall Fade.

And after the First Drop of Crimson,

I shall drift into the Shadowland.

Gayle 12:04am

Finding What I Knew

In search of MIRACLES,

I left THE KNOWN WORLD

To go WALKING ON WATER

Toward a LOST HORIZON.

RIDING BETWEEN THE WORLDS,

I was a WANDERER OF THE WASTELAND.

THE STRANGER took me,

I was SOLD INTO EGYPT

Until THE GOOD SHEPHERD

Sent me THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

To THE THURBER CARNIVAL.

IT'S A MAGICAL WORLD, after all.

Lyra 12:03am

Stained

Juliet, Naked,

The Woman Warrior,

a Fraud

at The Edge of Reason.

The Secret History of

The Whore's Child

Written on the Body,

The Human Stain.

Fear and Loathing

on all The Places in Between.

Men and Cartoons

Their Perfect Women,

Naked,

Lost in the Funhouse

Their White Teeth,

Skinny Legs and All

A Teenage Wasteland.

A Compass Error.

The Infinite Jest.

Gemma 5:59am

this is a STORY OF A GIRL

ONCE

I was a GEEK TRAGEDY

and THE DUFF.

You were BEAUTY QUEENS

perfect IMAGINARY GIRLS

With THE PULL OF GRAVITY

YOU

became THE ENEMY

because SOME GIRLS ARE

BEASTLY.

After AN UNFORTUNATE SERIES OF EVENTS

I cried RED TEARS

I was NUMB

THEN

was THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY

and I learnt HOW TO BE A WOMAN

WHAT I WAS

turned to ASHES

and OUT OF SHADOWS

stepped THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO

NOW

THE SKY'S THE LIMIT

I'm A TINY BIT MARVELLOUS

THE HAPPINESS PROJECT

is HOW I LIVE NOW

But BEFORE I DIE

I'll look UP AND DOWN

and ONE DAY

I SHALL WEAR MIDNIGHT

and WHEN YOU REACH ME

you'll feel my EMBER FURY

Kitty 6:02am

my PERFORATED HEART

those ELEVEN DAYS

were A TIME TO REMEMBER.

but 1933 WAS A BAD YEAR,

when HITLER STOLE PINK RABBIT,

when VERY BAD MEN

in THE DEAD OF WINTER

ended THE AGE OF INNOCENCE.

I ESCAPED FROM AUSCHWITZ,

found HAVEN

in WYOMING.

but I STILL DREAM ABOUT YOU.

still MISSING JOSEPH

Jennifer 6:15am

I freefall

into the kiss -

no shame, no fear.

The choice is mine.

And I am fearless.

Brandy 6:18am

HOW BEAUTIFUL THE ORDINARY

but THE STRANGER

A HERO OF OUR TIME

is NOT THAT KIND OF GIRL

she SHINE's

a DARK GODDESS

WICKED LOVELY

EVERMORE

her WINGS

CATCHING FIRE

A GREAT AND TERRIBLE BEAUTY

until ASH

in a CITY OF ASHES

EVENFALL

BETWEEN SHADES OF GRAY

a STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND

but EVERYTHING'S EVENTUAL

and THIS LULLABY

is THE LAST SONG
