Sadi Sidhe please PM Endejester with the name and temper of your new soquili. 'grats


I've narrowed it down to my top favorites. They all stick out for different reasons but it is so hard to pick one. Please vote for your favorite finalist!!!

exclaim update 11/2 I've received word that some finalists are advertising for votes. This has always been a no-no in the past. People are supposed to go to this post and vote for their favorite poem without being told a specific number to vote for. It is unfair to other finalists who are respecting the traditions of the shop and not advertising.
I'll run the poll again for a day but if you see anyone advertising or if they asked you to vote then please notify Sirenz at once for D/Q.

#1
To fear, or not to fear: that is the question:
Peaceful mind or havoc in heart:
Could there be simpler an answer?
Blood’s no phenomena,
Nor is pain, tears, and sweat.
Yet the fear of a pinprick...
By any other name would sound as foolish.
Thou art no fool.
Yet thy commit to such fear
And bawl like a child.
Banish that child.
Banish such dreads.
Though I must confess:
Your fear’s shared.
But we must not cower:
For a needle is a needle.
Small pinch, little pain:
No need for toil and trouble;
For the fear will only double.
Why it is a finalist: I love how Infinity used Shakespearean lingo in her poem. It makes it sound like it was written in his time instead of the present! surprised <3
===================================
#2
Come on darling, don't you cry,
The pain will fade, it's not a lie,
Cross your heart and hope to die,
Stick a needle in your eye.

Almost over, soon you'll fly,
To the clouds up in the sky,
On my honor you will die,
Stick a needle in your eye.

Now it's time to say goodbye,
Please do not question why,
Cross your heart and hope to die,
While I stick a needle in your eye.

Comments (optional): No fear of needles here.
Why it is a finalist: I like the old nursery rhyme "stick a needle in your eye" coming to play in this poem. It is really creative how she used it to describe how needles are nothing to fear.
============================================
#3
I am but a p***k
under your skin,
chasing the Goat Flu away.

I am no more than a moment
of mild discomfort,
for an entire year of safety.

I am as a small guardian
sending messages through your veins,
to warn your body.

I am because you need me
to give you health,
and peace of mind.

I am there
when people cough or sneeze,
right in your face.

I am a fear in your mind
that you can beat,
I know you can.

I am a vaccine shot.
Why it is a finalist: I use to love writing "Who am I" poems that had the reader guessing what the poem was about until the end! It was refreshing to see one entered in the contest. The was great metaphors and allusion used too such as comparing the needle to a guardian sending messages in line 9!

======================================
#4
Hey boy, there once was a tale
Spoken about an old haunted tree
Whose branches stretched from sky to sky
No no, don’t look that way eyes on me
What you cannot see you cannot fear
Anyways this tree would gobble up
Anything that flowed with blood
From the small blue jays willing to sing
To the foulest wolves with the sharpest teeth
Teeth, no I mean look cotton candy
What a treat!
What do you mean a bite its mine!
Well of course I’m not going to share I mean
Oh look the nurse is done!
Time to go!
Why it is a finalist: I thought this poem was really cute how they told a cool story to get Aich to think of something else while getting her shot. What a creative idea that no one else did in the contest. surprised

=======================================

#5
Poem: Frail and weak
Colours fade to harsh monotone
Pain electrifies your veins
A weary drowsiness is your blanket

The injection brought bliss

Tired and listless
Colours roar back to sick vividness
Your muscles burn
The pain ebbs to numbness

The injection brought salvation

You heal
Gain strength
And live

The injection saved your life
Why it is a finalist: This poem uses lots of awesome literary visuals to acquaint the reader of how it feels to get pricked by a needle. My favorite part is "Colours roar back to sick vividness" which relates back to the opening line.

She needs to get a shot to heal her of the Goat Flu that she has caught over the weekend. She does enjoy poetry so we have to write poems to convince her to get treated! surprised

Write a positive poem (any type, limit 100 words) about needles so Aich will understand that he doesn't need to fear them. Whoever writes the poem that helps Aich will win her! You must write the poem 100% yourself, no collabs. Entry is one per person!

Prize: Aich - colored by Ende
Ends: Saturday, October 31st at 7 pm CST

DON'T BE AFRAID, AICH!!
Writer: Yuuka Kurokawa
Poem: The needle stings and blood begins to flow.
It's over quickly wouldn't you know.
It's for a good cause, to make me well.
Sometimes I just like to give the nurses hell.
Comments (optional): Since I have to deal with needles quite often as a patient with chronic kidney disease, I've learned how to deal with needles in my own way. Sometimes I really do like to give those nurses hell, especially when they aren't careful.

DON'T BE AFRAID, AICH!!
Writer: Lady Aria Starstone
Poem:
The needle's sharp, so sharp it
doesn't hurt a bit, you can't feel
the sting, the pain, as it slides inside
that you may help others partake of life
instead of die. Another needle may save
you from death of blood loss, of many things.
Needles save, for all they are sharp.
Needles are bright, sharp points of
saving grace.
Comments (optional): Needles are one of my big fears, actually, but I regularly give blood for those who need it, so I force myself to cope.

DON'T BE AFRAID, AICH!!
Writer: Lolita Lily Chi
Poem:
Don't fret my dear,
I am here.
Here to hold your hand.
Never fret.
You can bet.
The pain you feel will subside.
It wont take long.
They make it quick.
Soon you can laugh again.
Never fear, time will heal the pain.

Comments (optional): My boyfriend is terrified of needles. Poor baby. But I'm always there to help him through it.

DON'T BE AFRAID, AICH!!
Writer: The Adorable Panda
Poem:
Scars that mar the skin and soul
Seem to have taken their toll
Shivers sent right down your spine
Have the doctors crossed the line?
Now you cough and toss and turn
And your stomach starts to churn
Just the sight makes you quake
It's the needle you must take
Will it hurt? Will you bleed?
It bears the vaccine that you need.
To cure the sickness you've contracted
Don't regret you never acted.
Everyone must face their fears
Or else they'll cower all their years.
But I know that your heart is strong.
And I know the pain does not last long.
It's just a sting, a pinch, no more.
Maybe just a little sore.
But soon enough you'll be fine
And you'll feel just so divine.
Healthy, hearty, happy, and fit
For this is just what I have writ
Do not be scared, don't run away
But live to see another day.
Comments (optional): I don't like needles either..

DON'T BE AFRAID, AICH!!
Writer: Kaitaia
Poem:
I see the metal gleam, my face goes pale
I can feel myself shake in every cell
I open my mouth and I want to yell
But I know my panic I have to quell
All this terror, I can expell
After all, its the needle that keeps me well
Comments (optional): <3 I was thinking of vaccinations and things like flu shots with I wrote this.

DON'T BE AFRAID, AICH!!
Writer: Faid Shadowlight
Poem:

A little sting and then its done.
But for me it it has just begun.
Why do they not understand,
The fear that grips with its icy hand.
Then its over quick as that,
I feel so stupid where I'm sat.
Such a big fuss over a thing so small,
I hardly felt that at all.
A little p***k, and a little sting,
All said and done, its a small thing.

Comments (optional): Suffering from this phobia myself grants a unique perspective. This started out as a very different poem.

DON'T BE AFRAID, AICH!!
Writer: Shi Berry
Poem:

I know how you feel...
It's no the pain that gets to me...
Oh no...
The mere sting isn't the cause of this acrimony...

It's not the silver...
It's not the pinch...
It's not the blood...
None make me flinch...

It's not welcome inside me...
It doesn't belong...
It's the intrusion...
It simply feels wrong...

Though all this is a ploy of mind...
You must fight it...
For the needle will save you...
You must submit...

Trust me and my words...
For I know how feel...
You can overcome this phobia we share...
Just think of it as unreal...

Comments (optional): Bah, my fear of needles is my only fear... xD And it's crazy...
Editted due to the fact that it was over the word limit.

DON'T BE AFRAID, AICH!!
Writer: YamiBakuraChan
Poem:
Needles are scary
That I know
The pointed end is a sight to behold
But fear not dear one
There’s nothing to be scared of
Needles are imperative
For life saving elixirs

It will only take a second
Just a pinch,
That’s all it takes
Nothing to fear

No regrets
No wondering
That’s what I wish for you
And do not worry,
I shall be by your side
Though everything

Protection is vital
Against sickness and disease
You’ll be able to live a healthy life
A life without fear
A life without troubles
Don’t you want that my fearful one?

Comments (optional): Needles....are just not my friend. I bruise really easily and I'm just generally a wimp when it comes to them. Drawing blood? Nooo way. I literally go pale at the sight of them. Even when it's just on TV. ^^;

[Edited due to it being over the word limit. That was really hard to cut. x_x]

DON'T BE AFRAID, AICH!!
Writer: Syaoran-Puu
Title: Think of something else...
Poem:

A needle can be a train,
Bringing its goods to the store,
Delivery is quick,
And before you know it - the train will leave once more.

A needle can be the tide,
Caressing the golden shore,
In for a moment,
And before you know it – it’s out at sea once more.

A needle can be a kitten,
Licking you with affection,
Gentle and soft,
And before you know it - they are curled up once more.

A needle can be a football,
Bouncing off your arm,
Touching for a moment,
And before you know it – it’s gone once more.

Comments (optional): 100 words exactly according to word =D. Personally I don't have a fear of needles but I know a lot of people who are afraid of needles (my dad and my partner are just a few of them), but since I work at a school I usually end up helping students with their fear of needles and I have found that telling them to think of something else seems to be very sucessful. I don't like to see anyone scared -especially when the needle is designed to help them.

I hope you are not afraid after all these poems Aich!!

DON'T BE AFRAID, AICH!!
Writer: Tursi
Poem:

Just close your eyes, don't fear don't fear
The needle can't hurt you here, not here
You might feel a pinch
A small little itch
Then it'll be over my dear, don't fear
Just chat this song and no tears, not here.

Comments (optional): Isn't Aich a girl?

DON'T BE AFRAID, AICH!!
Writer: LunaRei_SilverBlood
Poem:

Needle needle oh so shiny
You’ll go into her hiney.
You might be a little whiney
But at least it’s tiny.

Needle needle oh so sharp
It only pinches so please don’t harp.
The medicine that it delivers
Will only help your liver.
So you can get better
Rather then deader.

DON'T BE AFRAID, AICH!!

Gleaming silver point,
Threatening to cause me pain...

There was but a p***k
On the surface of my skin,
But now I am well.
