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.

Gun

A gun of power,
fires at amazing speed,
with no time to spare

dragons

they fly with great speed,
fight with astonishing strength,
and have sharp talons.

black

the color of fury
the color of extinction
the color of death

speed

The supersonic
item in traveling fast.
speed will help you win

Extinction

Journey of the lost.
Impending doom soon is near.
Run, run, run for life.

You might not want to put a the number five in your poem, but write the word five.

Rain

Teardrops from the sky,
Tiny bombs, crushing the earth,
Fall from the fluffy clouds.

I prefer rhymes. They sound better.

True, but haikus I think are supposed to be more "beautiful". Maybe I'm wrong though I'm not an expert on poetry!

Really, I wasn't sure....

Anyways, here is another haiku...

Death

A dark cloak, conceals,
Creates tragedy, mourning,
Will come to befall.
