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%20DragonDark 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

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.

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
