View Full Version : November 2006 - Poem Contest - Voting Round
TripleTee 25-11-06, 02:51 PM I'm pretty disappointed I didn't receive more talents... however the game will go on and what was received is appreciated. It's either Beauty of the Night or Beauty of Her Presence that will get the title... so go ahead and place your votes members.
Beauty of the Night
When sunset drowns its crimson sky
Its moon comes shining on
Through darkened shade, where light things fade
Its dullness would be gone
For there the stars would slowly blaze
To show its magic scene
Its beauty phase, our visions haze
Still imitates a dream
When silence fills the starry night
All souls would rest in peace
Its tranquil theme, of beauty’s dream
Would set our minds to ease
And all the while its silence flows
Comes out a pretty sight
Of creatures small, their creatures call
The Beauty of the Night
The Beauty of Her Presence
To cry alone...
Within a lost verve that turned into stones
To realize that am hunted by an illusion
The tears that left my face carved of confusion
To stand under the rain gasping the air
To eliminate the frown, to know that she’s there
A moon that lights my dusk, to spark my fissure with her glare
A puppet can never smile, but her presence makes me care
The aroma of her spirit made me reconsider about life being unfair
Without her, I’d be still locked in the chamber of coal
Everytime I die, her words revive my impure soul
Her virtuous voice of grace leads me soar
alluring intellectual mind she posse’s
Hard to have, purely eases the stress
Because of you, I have a new ultimate wish
I hope you could be mine, so I can forget my painful stitch
Set me free of this cage of desolation
The unheard yell of the dead wing
Please... stay with me and show me where is spring
Haroundb 25-11-06, 03:14 PM Don't be disappointed, there is a reason for every error, and the error here is the "Topic" thing. Without a topic being imposed things will go fine, but who really cares! Now with talented people you won't get the chicken to lay the egg whenever you want, it should come from the chicken itself.
Storm was doing fine and you too, but the problem is not in the members, it is in the topics chosen. I think this poetry thing comes as modes which are controlled by different elements which each member has his own of these. So why should I write a poem in that topic when I really have nothing to feel it?
Same thing with many who even in such situation of "love" they my not expearience the topic "beauty" sense maybe he is having a fight with his belived woman and in mood to blame her not to describe her beauty.
Again if someone finds himself writing a good piece of poetry about war for example and wanting very much to contribute with it in the competion and finds himself blocked with a topic like "Mohter's love' or something, then only there will be no place for such a poem and sure no one will be willing to care anymore after.
There are lots of things to be adjusted in the poetry contest before it comes up to shape sense many like Dark Project for example have been fed up with the continuos winning why? I won't say why because DP is nice talented friend of mine, and his poetry is really good, but the problem is that those who vote are just voting according to a "wrong" criteria.
Those who vote for the contest are just voting for a standard type of "word processing". They won't care much for rhyme and other poetic requirements because there are no such in many of the poems submitted!
I think there is a good possibility to make this contest a charm again but sure people must open their minds as well as their ears!
TripleTee 25-11-06, 03:22 PM ^^those points are good enough for an enquiry which I'll be doing soon. I'll be needing the members' input on this. Thanx Haroundb
as for now...members, kindly vote for either of the poems above.
Frozen Echo 25-11-06, 03:34 PM Eh?
There was a poem competition thread?
Hahahaha
I didn't know that, I might have participated.
But no matter.
Both poems are very good.
And I think I know who both the writers are.
Beauty of the night
This poem is very well written.
And I like how it rhymes or maybe I'm just getting into rhymes.
I would say this is probably written by Triple Tee.
The Beauty of Her Presence
This poem was very nice but I hate it when anyone uses words you use in chat.
for example "Am" instead of "I'm".
And there are a couple of mistakes.
But!
It is a very good poem and very nice expressions.
This poem is probably written by Conjugater
I'll vote later.
TripleTee 25-11-06, 03:43 PM ^^what makes you so sure FE?...
if you say so... :hmm:
Frozen Echo 25-11-06, 03:50 PM I said "probably"
Same style you know?
Its hard to vote.
I would vote for Beauty of the night but I feel like Beauty of her presence might deserve it more.
I would vote for Beauty of her presence but it has made some mistakes and Beauty of the night might be better.
So I'll vote for the one who has the least votes.

You are taking it so lightly Frozen...sooo lightly. To vote for the one has least votes is a "vote for charity" not a vote for poetry. This is a poetry contest not a charity contest!
Frozen Echo 25-11-06, 04:06 PM It's not charity.
Hell!
I'm Frozen Echo!
But really...
I did like them both and usually when it comes to something like this I don't vote.
But I don't prefer one over the other.
You know...
I'll just flip a coin.
...
...
Okay "beauty of night" gets my vote.
TripleTee 25-11-06, 05:53 PM voting round'll end on the 30th...
Only 2 !!!! this is really disappointed !
But I like Haroun suggestion which may help you 3T in future ..
Anyway .. both are good
I would vote for Beauty of the Night

The Beauty of Her Presence is great!
but Beauty of the Night is a bit..more..umm, beautiful? :dev:
never mind what am saying..i don't know alot about poetry so :shy:
Beauty of the night gets my vote ;)
*FaLLiNG STaR* 27-11-06, 05:02 PM I liked Beauty Of The Night more, probable of the rhyme.. So it got my vote.
Dark Project 29-11-06, 07:04 PM Interesting poems here .. Both are good and both made me see what the poet is trying to visualize or experienced or express on behalf of others or stories that we hear or situations that we face day to day.
As for my dear Friend Haroundb , true what you have said about "There are lots of things to be adjusted in the poetry contest before it comes up to shape sense" and many times I have felt that people do vote for the sake of voting or picking something which is easy to read and sounds musical to their ears . I mean with all due respect to many of the talented people in here, I have read so many poems , and to be honest they made me depressed .. They called it poems (if they were poems) and there are certain members including Mods will cheer that poem which we all know that you just get fed up by reading the third line. Nevertheless I have the respect and I encourage members to write so we can boost the level of the poems in here and adjust as you mention my dear haroundb the way the poems are presented . Be it the subject or the meaning or the title .
Any way my vote goes to "The Beauty of Her Presence" it won by 1 percent 51% to 49 % of Beauty of the Night ... .
All the best .
Poeta tímida 30-11-06, 05:12 AM If my vote counts in anyway:

Professor 30-11-06, 05:52 AM Beauty of the Night got my vote ..
BliNd_MelOn 01-12-06, 11:35 AM The Voting Session is now over. :)
