You want to take this little Heartless home with you? You must woo him... with your heart! Poetry is an excellent way to express your emotions! So pour out your heart and show this little fellow that you have plenty to offer him >D



Each day, for the remainder of the event, we will post a type of poem with it's defining traits. Your job is to write us a poem following that form using the theme 'Heartless.' The theme can be interpreted as you chose; be creative! You are only writing one poem a day, so put some thought into it!

Poems are to be posted HERE, in this thread. He might not see them if you post them in the shop and THEN how would you catch his attention?!

We are not yet sure how this will be scored; it might be whomever writes the most if people don't enter daily or it might be each poem is a raffle ticket. But we do know your chances will improve if you come back and enter successfully each day!

Wandering through the darkness
Seeking what is lost

Creature of Darkness
Cold, Lifeless, Devoid of Life
You are dead to me.

I see my heart there,
Seperate from my body
Beating in a jar

Heartbeat -- beat beat beat
The cold of winter seeps in
Silence, still -- heartless.

A heartless creature
Creature shrouded in the darkness
Seeking what's been lost

Heartless, Darkness knows
No bounds for he who travels
Lonesome path; darkness.

Hearth fire warms the skin chilled from night's air
Enlightening flames speak to the weighted mind of man
All is listless and lost in the quicksand of a soul rendering black hole
Rifts creak and crack around him until he is distant and adrift
Time lies with promises of hope and wisdom
Lines of black and red mingle as words spill from his mouth
Everything flares bright and hot -- he feels
Something beyond the shadows hovering like vultures over his weary body
Slice out the heart in the notion his no longer exists -- it did.

(...maybe this is why I stopped writing poetry!)

Wilted flowers waste away in the garden
A broken woman sits waiting for her heart to return
Seven years ago he left
Taking her vivacity and will to live with him
Every day she resembles the flowers more and more
Decaying slowly in the burning sunlight

(So the Heartless bit is kind of obscure, but hopefully it is there enough?)

Hearts broken by time and hatred
Endless darkness spans before them
Anger, sorrow and envy feed its hunger
Resolved like clockwork machines in their quest
Trained in the shadows of the abyss
Living in a paradoxical existence
Eternities pass without meaning or change
Stealing from others that which they once had
Seeking what was lost in the darkness
PostPosted: Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:04 pm


Pioneer to the shadow
Unobtrusive hollow
Riddled by the pull of darkness
Immersed in onyx tar
There is no end, no edge
You stand alone against the light.
