Stop, Collaborate, and Listen Contest - 08/28/2011
by Vince Blake

Well, the initial closing of the contest was to take place last night, but as we've only had two submissions so far, I have decided to extend the date by a couple of weeks to give everyone some more time. I understand collaborations don't always get done in a neat schedule, so I am hoping this will allow for a bit more competition.

New Poetry Contest: Stop, Collaborate, and Listen - 08/02/2011

Took a month off from the poetry contests, so we thought we'd give you one doubly big to make up for it.

Rules and such can be found on the Poetry Contest forum, or by clicking right here. This should be a lot of fun--really looking forward to what you guys come up with!

Poem of the Day for 01/28/12

Miss Persona
by Paul Tamm

Radiant, light
Dressed in air and silken night
soft touched
your cheek in gloom
awakened, hushed
in full bright plume.

Aspected, when faced divine
break through hollows, sunlight's shrine
shone through blackness,
brightest day
more than words can ever say.

Long lines between us, our mouths obey
the heat I feel from your heart's rays
burned to fire, a flash in the dark
shaking, breathing, ember and spark
entwined to thrill from blank decay
together apart, night and day.
