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 actually wrote this into a song, but music is poetry!

Find me sitting in the corner,
I find you with another man.
Nothing new to me,
just a bit foreigner.
I knew you were holding back,
in the dead of night.
Thoughts running through your mind,
but this is something you thought you could fight.

Jealousy running through my mind,
one thought I try to grind,
out...........
Fight the tears, keep back the rage,
something I can only keep in a cage.
Going red...red...red...
AHHHHHH keep it back!

Jealousy, a MASTERPIECE by Manutd4life096:

It floats to my head,
making me feel it's envious rage,
as I sit back and try not to go red.
I look around at everything you had,
everything I wanted,
I just couldn't get it that it made you sad,
That I was always mad.
I didn't know that it made you feel bad,
That I was continuously harassing you,
For all the darn things I could do.
Now as I feel the jealousy retreating, I realize,
that it was jealously, that made me finalize,
My decision,
to hate you and now like an incision,
I feel it all going in reverse,
as I see you with that awesome new purse.


I made that up as I went, I hope you like it. Ending was a bit weird though...

~~~EDITED VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL MASTERPIECE BY ME~~~

It floats to my head,
making me feel it's envious rage,
as I sit back and try not to go red.
I look around at everything you had,
everything I wanted,
I just couldn't get it that it made you sad,
That I was always mad.
I didn't know that it made you feel bad,
That I was continuously harassing you,
For all the darn things I couldn't do.
Now as I feel the jealousy retreating, I realize,
that it was jealousy, that made me finalize,
My decision,
to hate you and now like an incision,
I feel it all going in reverse,
It all just makes me want to curse.
and I feel all that, as I write this verse.

I think my poem is more like a rap, but it still looks fine! Hopefully I win it.

These aren't getting anywhere. It's really slowing down, and people are only trying at it once... Oh well, I'm not interested in other words, but I'll watch.

And don't expect appraisal or disrespect.

I try not to think of what i have seen.
Even though I know it is true I try not to beileve.
Every time I see them together I quickly look away.
But every single day its like there stalking me.

This is a better one please judge this one instead.

Every where I go I see this special girl.
When she talks to me its sends my mind into a whirl.
Even though shell never love me I always hope she will.
She's going out with my best freind and he doesnt know I like her.
I try to be calm when im around her.
But when I try to talk I always seem to stutter.

This is one of my first poems, so no laughing.


Jealousy

Seething through your mind
Destroying all your friendships
Beware this green rage

Actually, this week it has been relly popular, moreso than the last (probably because of the stranger topics) and quite a few people have submitted each week! No need to be a downer, you should submit again ) Maybe one of these weeks I'll write something too... I'm usually too busy )

Alright...here's mine

Thoughts of a Jealous Man

Hey! What's that?
That is pretty cool...
I wonder where he got it...
What else does it do?
Does it cost a lot?
Where did he get it from?
That would be nice to have...

I want it.
Why does he have one and not me?
I'll do anything...
Why don't I have it?
I derserve it...
I think I should get it...
My head hurts, I want it so bad!

I got it!
Finally it is mine!
Yes! The moment of a lifetime!
...
Oh...what a disappointment...
Hey! What's that?




I know it's a little off-beat... but I liked it...

Also, I really liked Hojoko's poem.

Oh, my, what've you got?
Your bank account beats mine by a lot.

Your car's way faster, mine's too cramped,
Your pool's just perfect, mine's too damp.

Your things are better, mine are out of date,
Your computer is a Vista, mine's a 98!

Why is your stuff better, every last thing?
You absolutely torture me with that diamond ring.

I get a standard, you get a deluxe,
It's too bad I canât afford the things that cost the big bucks.

I grow green with envy, you yellow with pride,
Youâve a gorgeous spouse, I've a homely bride.

When I think of you, I canât help but think,
What if all that money was gone in a wink?

I can't stand what you are doing, it pains me in the night,
And your spending so much money needs to be set right.

I need to teach you a lesson, I just don't know how,
But I really want to teach it right now.

I am at a loss, I don't know what to do,
But this all makes me question as to why I married you.


I like to make a twist in my endings...
NO, I'm not married. I just thought it'd be funny.

P.S. sorry about the first one. Mods, delete that last one.
