Woe Is Me ~ Nox Event Game
 
Hello everyone, Virgil here.

As you know Nox is a time of remembrance, so I've decided to host a little contest of sorts.

This contest really has nothing to do with writing ability, it's about remembering loved ones and sending the souls to the heavens.


So here's what you need to do~

Write me a little poem, it doesn't have to be good, it doesn't even have to make sense, it just has to be a little poem, any format will do.

Then we'll put all the poems in their own little boats and send them adrift in the river, randomly through the Nox I'll pick up one of the boats that made it ashore and that person will win a prize.

Remember, it doesn't have to be sad, it can be silly, strange or whatever you want it to be.


Rules:
You may enter a new poem once every 24 hours.

All poems must be written by you, they can't be grabbed from a poetry site or what not.

They must be new poems, don't go poking back in your files for one now.

We'll clear out all the old poems after 24 hours.

Virgil will pick out a random poem every 24 hours, that user will win a random prize.



Prizes:
Aurum
Event Currency
Random Event Item


Remember to have fun this Nox and to be thankful for everything you have~

*pondersa poem* haikuu's count? Not that i'm good at them?

Gallagher 10-25-2013 11:41 PM

Any kind of poem will do, haiku or rhyming or free form, it doesn't matter.

Virgil Marks 10-26-2013 12:19 AM

Congratulations to our first winner, Areishia! Your prize will be granted shortly.

Remember to get your poems in!

Quiet Man Cometh 10-26-2013 01:29 AM

It doesn't say what to do with the poems. Do they get posted in thread or PM'd?

Areishia 10-26-2013 01:57 AM

Yay! :D

I didn't think I'd actually win to be honest, seeing as I'm actually pretty rusty ^^;. I'm very happy I did win though :D. May I submit another poem for "round 2" :3 ? Also, how many people did enter the contest? If you don't mind me asking ^^;.

@Quiet Man Cometh: I send my poem via PM to Virgil Marks :3. I think you can post them in the thread as well but if people will post a lot it could potentially get lost in all the posts.

Gallagher 10-26-2013 02:15 AM

Yeah, you can do either, it just depends on if you want yours seen or not.

And you can enter every round! There were only a couple, but hopefully we'll get more as y'all see there are actually winners here xD

Quiet Man Cometh 10-26-2013 02:23 AM

I'd like to do this but I think I burnt myself out on writing lately, with all the work I've been putting into my NaNo projects. I can normally write a poem fairly easily but it feels like so much effort right now!

Areishia 10-26-2013 02:46 AM

@Galla: Thank you for the information :D. I'll be sure to try and submit another poem later :3.

@Quiet Man: I wish you luck :3.

Zenella 10-26-2013 04:43 AM

Submitted by poem. It's kinda silly but meh :3

Shadami 10-26-2013 03:36 PM

Shore
A wooden raft
Gently folded paper
a small push
rippling water
slowly churning
small current
skittering bugs
small island
big splash
turned around
waves crashing
shore



Here is my poem! i forgot to enter in round one >.<

Quiet Man Cometh 10-26-2013 09:19 PM

Dearest departed,
This is to let you know
A grandchild was born today.
We named him after you,
Dear.

Short and meh but it's something. :)

Virgil Marks 10-27-2013 12:54 AM

Wow! Congratulations Areishia on another win! Your prize will be granted shortly.

Light a candle
Lock the doors,
On this night
All come out to play,
but not all return the next day.

Shadami 10-27-2013 10:55 AM

stabbity stab
my guts spill out
i crack a smile
and freak you out

muhahahah this is my little poem. and i love it. xD wow. those boats like her. :3

Quiet Man Cometh 10-27-2013 08:53 PM

Little notes on little boats
Adrift in waves and reeds,
Go, little boats!
With your little notes,
There are little sharks with pointy teeth!

Hee hee.

Shadami 10-27-2013 10:59 PM

i love it. xD i made a circle poem about the note boats :3

Already, I cannot remember your face
The thought of you reduced
to the specter of this flame
as I cast you away
and sigh the first breath
of the rest of my days

Espy 10-28-2013 01:29 AM

she looks at me, panicked
I tell her to run
to run with all she has
they won't stop
and I can't stop them
and she is all I have right now

there is a time to mourn the dead
and a time to cherish the living
but why mourn when another is still alive
and not beyond saving?

they're almost here
I can feel the hoofbeats rattling
rattling through what used to be ours
what we built together with our own hands
the quiet life we wanted to live

she's already out of sight
your pendant swinging wildly around her neck
maybe someday I'll tell her
tell her the story of how that amber came to be
and why we never polished that golden stone

but for now I close my eyes
against the incoming tide

and throw the torch to the wooden floor

Natsunaine 10-28-2013 04:25 AM


Shadami 10-28-2013 02:47 PM

hmmm i'm not poem able right now. xD i got music playing and its distracting me.

Natsunaine 10-28-2013 10:16 PM

A lot of people seem to be giving me compliments on the particular poem.. Maybe I should make more dark poems again?

Virgil Marks 10-29-2013 12:13 AM

Polly101 10-30-2013 08:13 AM

Oh mai!... Writing a poem can be so hard sometimes I just scribbled whatever came to mai mind xD

Why god why!?
Why can't I write,
All I want to do is write!
Write a poem!

Why god why!?
Why am I so slow,
I wish I was a genius!
Make me genius!

Why god why!?
Why can't I make words rhyme,
I want them to rhyme!
I wish I could give up and,
Stop writing this nonsense

Well I think it really is nonsense...; - ;

Espy 11-03-2013 01:05 AM

a new dawn
i snuffed out the candle
with a single finger
but not quickly enough

the skin is as raw
as that wound was
when you left without a word
and i fell out of your life

Lawtan 11-03-2013 05:58 PM

Shade I call,
Bade you wait,
Until my song freezes you still.
Light you fall,
Fears abate,
Into the shadows you will.

Virgil Marks 11-04-2013 02:12 AM

Lawtan 11-05-2013 02:11 AM

A mane of hair all down my spine,
A nose long and toothy,
In the night it walks,
With a prideful demeanor,
Leap and overtaking it encircles its prey,
With a mighty snap of the jaws,
Rend and tear with teeth so sharp,
The victim, life pouring,
Stares at its prison vest,
It signs and kicking it fades,
The king of the hunt now feeds.

Quiet Man Cometh 11-05-2013 02:23 AM

Guiding lanterns, spirit bright,
Souls at helm by candle light.

Espy 11-05-2013 09:36 PM


strange
my usual black garments
strike a stark contrast against the blazing colors of fall
a thing i'm used to
but they eerily fit too well this time around

trembling
i take a deep breath
and lift the flute up to my parched lips
a wavering note
and then another
a haunting melody soon floats out through the dancing leaves

music
i weave my life into harmonies
the critters keep my company while the men look on
i forget the noose
and ignore the floor that suddenly disappears beneath my feet

Virgil Marks 11-06-2013 01:59 AM

Firkash 11-06-2013 08:39 PM

Still taking poems?
Here's mine:

The sun has set
Dusk comes once again
The little birds sleep
And the deer rest their heads
I thought of nothing but you today
My dear
As I watched the moon come up
And of your bright shining eyes
