I have been noticing a lot of poetry on the site recently, and I thought it would be nice to have a friendly little poetry competition. There will be a weekly theme, and the entries will be judged by one of the moderators or administrators. This week's theme will be "Water." The deadline is Saturday, August 2nd. The winner will be awarded 25 Armor Points.

I'm no poet so I don't think I could really put in anything good for this topic,especially since I don't really get jealous all too much.

@Shark7996,I also liked that one.I grow up in a family that is really into the arts(music,writing,poetry,etc.)and that was pretty good to me.

hmmm....here's mine...made up on the spot...related to how I am feeling right now...

Jealousy

The girl I love,
Walks right past me.
Not looking at anyone.
Except my bestie.

She said she loved me,
and said it was true.
But then she dumped me,
And split my heart in two.

And now there she is,
sitting on your lap.
Staring into your eyes,
And looking for a map.

And what can I do,
As I sit here watching from afar.
Watching you and her flirt together,
And you giving her a gold star.

How can I cope,
When you hold her hand.
When that used to be my job,
Just a week beforehand.

So why did she pick you?
What's wrong with me?
Why are you better?
What does she see?

And so I guess I'm jealous,
Of you stealing my girl.
And now you two will stay together,
You stole my beautiful pearl.

Yep...thats how I feel...absolutely sad...and betrayed....

Ah, a weekly poetry contest? I'm very glad someone told me about this. I love poetry.

Hmm. I was hoping I could whip up a quick poem for this topic but as of now I have writer's block.

I'll check back later.

Thanks, mvpguy22. I've always enjoyed the simple expressiveness of haikus. I liked your offbeat poem.

Another one by me! This time a Haiku =D:

I feel it raging
It's green rage is expressing
My envy of you


Not that good, my first Haiku ever though. =p

I won last week, but I wrote something for this week.


Mist

Though through the mist I can hardly see,
I see some shapes, two in front of me.
One is hers, the other I don't know.
Now I see her friend beside her clear
My mind sees them standing toe to toe,
Because my heart is still wracked with fear.
