Eight Contests To Write For Part 1

Eight contests to write for Eight, is more than enough Eight is the will I need to fulfill The chance that may seem like a bluff I know that my body can do it I know that my strength will endure I know that I can For the sake of my plan To be strong in the way I am sure Eight contest poems Seven more ahead This is just one Before I am done I’ll long for the comfort of bed. FEELING THE LOVE Well like I said, I feel the heat To write eight poems this day I will not ignore The chance to explore The things I am longing to say For poem number two, I honestly do The writing that follows my dreams The peace in my heart Is where I must start To speak in the way that it seems The light of my day, is found in the way You do what you can for my best The smallest of things Is born of the wings That fly to the heart of my rest Your spirit is true, in all that you do My spirit is longing to say That all of my dreams Are filled with the beams That shine for the love you display. STEP RIGHT IN Step right in You’re welcome here To stay for as long as you please The food that I eat Is more than complete By watching you resting with ease The light of my day Is born of the way You cheer with a joke or a word The voice that I hear Is making it clear How much that my joy is assured The peace of a friend Is more than you send To cheer me with joy in your smile The wish of my day Is hoping you stay For more than a walk is a mile. LOST IN SPACE I’m lost in space without you I’m lost in space in flight The viewport is my window My dream of endless night The stars are not my future Their shine is not my sun My spirit is receding From all the joy I won The planet I may land on Is dark without you near The moon is no less barren Because you are not here The journey is my travel To distant parts unknown And all my parts unravel From monsters I have known I’m lost in space forever My fuel tank is undone I’m drifting now without you Before a fading sun Please keep me on your radar And let me see your face I’m gone but when you think I’m far I’m only lost in space.

So you were really busy here, Bryan. However, I think you are making all these poems up because I do not recognize the contests they would be meant for. I want to see you enter the REAL contests that are HERE. I bet you could get a lot of wins, Bryan! (Like Alexis, I too like Lost in Space as my favorite)

You are right. These are random poems. I only know what a rhyming poem is, so I'm pretty limited in my contest entries. To tell you the truth, these poems are pretty awful. I prefer writing good poems, and getting my beauty sleep. Bye, bye! Bryan

WoW! Bryan, I agree with BJ; this is very impressive. I don't think I've seen this done before. Each poem was well written. The content and rhymes were good as well. If I had to pick one poem, It would be Lost In Space. Not being near the one you love could cause one to feel many things; lost and just existing is how you could feel. Your poem expressed that in a profound way. Excellent job. I'm adding this to my Fav collection. Have a great day:-) Alexis

Hi Alexis. Thank you for reading and being kind about these poems. I wrote them all quickly, so they could be so much better. Since the task was daunting, at first, I focused on writing quickly more than well. But it was fun! Thank you again! Bryan

Wow, impressive! Now I will go and see what you have put in section II. I haven't seen this before, writing so many poems on a post together like you have, but it's really fun. I enjoyed them all, but lost in space was really thought provoking.

I'm glad you had fun with my poems. It was a fun challenge. I think it would be fun if everybody picked a favorite. That would be my motivation to do this again. Thank you for reading.
