ok...i think this might be a little challenging for everyone...but who knows!! a lot of you poets are exceptionally strong in your poetry!!
This is always something I have trouble with when I'm writing...I either put in too much detail, or too little detail...but I really like detail because it gives the reader a good mental picture of what you're describing...soooo....
the topic, if you could call it a topic, is to write a poem (about anything you wish, mind you) with as much detail and vivid description you can possibly conjure up! Whoever has the most detail that has me able to picture it vividly...wins! I would suggest the poem be about something you are able to describe well, like the personality of a person or something of the like...so I wish everyone luck, and have fun with it, k!

I was inspired by a song... with no name
i found it in a file in my computere tilted "unknown"
heard it and came up with this poem.
I also posted this already on the site.
Dream
A small girl,
About 10 years old,
Dress in a bright red coat,
And black shoes with white stocking,
She was running in a black and white forest,
It was dead and the snow bright real bright falling.
Her hair catching them,
No sound what so ever,
And she ran down a dirt path,
That was covered in snow,
She ran,
Not really running fast,
More like jogging but she ran,
And she knew she was being followed.
And in the shadows,
Dancing with the trees,
Keeping up with her holding the light for her,
Till she reaches heaven,
She runs,
Her scarlet tears coloring the air around her,
As she ran and the creature that followed her,
Smiled and kept on dancing flowing over her and around her,
Letting his presence known.
He smiles and cried looking down upon her,
She crying blood tears he lit the way with a bright light,
Guiding her to heaven.
She went into gods arms,
Being embraced in his arms,
And the creature stood there smiling,
Yet sadness touching his eyes,
He smiled and walked back sullenly,
Down the dirt road the little girl took.
He was the devil himself...

Luc,
This is one DESCRIPTIVE poem, I can't think of a detail you left out, I saw her jogging, I saw the tears, I saw the light he carried and I felt the danger of him being on her trail. Then I felt the relief of peace, that the devil, lost and was sent back to hell.
This will be hard to beat, yet, I don't think we write just to compete, each challenger is a question and as poets, we look at our pen and say, "Do you have an answer for me?.., then thr trip beings, I love Dreamersreality, a paradise of thought.
Thanks Luc, this is super work!

What I Want
when i see those hungry kids,
bones showing through their skin
their cheeks sucked up into their face
their eyes with a cold hared look of hunger
i want to be the one to help them.
when i see a child on the streets
begging for a place to live
selling red and white roses for money
giving their smaller brothers and sisters food first
thinking about them before they do themselves
holding up a cardboard sign and praying to God that someone will stop
I want to be the one to give them a home.
when hear the cry of a lonely child
no one to comfort them when they have a nightmare about death
no relitvies to give them a home
no one to love and care for them
they just wonder the cold dark allies
and the wide open streets
the only thing there with them is their old, dusty, brown teddybear
I want to be the one to care.
^^^^ well, there is my poem. i tried to use as much detail as i can. and luc... i really like your poem. it really does have alot of details!! great job. and i cant wait to read everyone elses poems.
