Okay, in an attempt to increase activity in the community, how many of you would be up for a weekly poetry challenge that either had to do with specific prompts or styles? (I.E. Week 1 - Poems about Unicorns, Week 2- Haikus, Week 3- Haiku's about Purple Unicorn's) If enough people are interested, I'll start this up. But until then, I'm not going to waste my time, so if this sounds fun to you let me know mkay!

Okay, its time to start the first challenge!

Poetry Challenge #1 - The NeonDragon Challenge

Theme: Since we are on her website, I thought it'd be a fun idea to have a challenge based on Neon. Here's how it works. Your poem must draw inspiration from one of NeonDragon's Art pieces, whether you draw inspiration from the creature depicted, the coloring, the title. It doesn't matter, as long as it comes from one of her pieces. The poem may be in any style or length, but please keep it appropriate for this site. Maximum of 2 entries per person.

Challenge Ends: August 14th

How to Submit: Send me a pm with your poem titled Poetry Challenge or something along those lines. Include a link to the artwork you drew inspiration from. Do not post the poem in this thread. After the 14th a poll will go up in which all entries are anonymous to eliminate biased votes. There will then be a short period before the poll closes and the challenges winner will be crowned. Some aditional benefits may come with winning, but we'll figure that out later. Til then happy writing!


Okay time to reveal the entries! (: You will have to weeks to vote for your favorite poem in the poll above. Poets please maintain your anonymity until then. Thanks!

Entry #1
The Death's Head Dragon!
based on http://neondragonart.com/Art/display.ph ... d%20Dragon

Dark and mysterious,
Easily angered
A dangerous predator
The greatest shadow
He made the night

Hardly curious
Ever a hazard
A shadow wielder
Dragon of the deathblow


Entry #2

Oh My
based on http://neondragonart.com/Art/display.php?img=Hugs%20Plz

My how cute you are,
The better to tempt you my dear,
My what pretty eyes you have,
The better to mesmerize you my dear,
My how light you are,
The better to hug you my dear,
My how soft you are,
The better to cuddle you my dear,
My how sweet you seem,
The better to fool you my dear,
My what sharp claws you have,
The better to grab you my dear,
My what a slick tongue you have,
The better to taste you my dear,
My what a sharp beak you have,
The better to gobble you my dear.


Entry #3
based on http://neondragonart.com/Art/display.ph ... rn%20Flare
Dragon of the Sun
You hold your orb of Sunlight
Closely to your chest
If a Night dragon takes it
The dragons of Sun will die


Entry #4
Under My Wing

based on http://neondragonart.com/Art/display.ph ... 0-%20Color

You will be protected.

Nor Pain or Death

Nor Shadow or Darkness

Nor Power or Greed.

No matter what happens.

You will always be protected.

Under my Wing.



I will protect you.

No matter how far.

You may go in life.

All the twist and turns.

You will always be protected

Under my wing.



You mite find pain.

You mite find Shadows.

You mite find Death.

But keep this in mind.

You will always be protected.

Under my Wing.



Have no fear.

I will be here.

To serve and protect

To find a way.

To keep you protected.

Under my wing.



I will be here to Comfort

I will be here to Care

I will be here to Talk

I will be here to Support

I will be here to Laugh

I will be here to Cry.

As long as you stay.

Under my wing.

I wouldn't mind doing that. I might not do it every time though. I might not have time. But I will try to do it once or twice a month. :eager:

No love for the weekly poetry challenge (maybe bi-monthly)? If you are even vaguely interested please comment! I won't start until I have at least 3-5 people interested.

I would definitely participate in something like this - if not weekly then once every two weeks or so - Are you planning on running this? Remember it will be a fair amount of time to come up with inspirational topics as well as judging the poems when written - I hope you can do it! :)

I wish the writing forum was more active...anyway, I am going through with this idea, so get ready when I come back from my vacation for me to have something up. Also there is now a poll up, please vote if this idea strikes you as interesting.


I also think that "winners" might get a chance to come up with their own challenges and stuff too. Giving participants a reward for their effort.

I have been writing a lot more, so maybe eventually I'll begin posting some of my stuff (not poems though, never did care for poetry myself). I would now, but frankly I'm embarrassed to even let my husband read it. xD It still needs a TON of work before I feel its ready to be shown to anyone else, but I am doing something anyways...

ok, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and post up a teeny bit of what I've written for the public to view. And it's all your fault... lol Maybe I'll let my husband read it when he gets back from work too...it needs a ton of work, as I mentioned before, and I don't think I can solve all the issues on my own. :-/
