Fairytale Come True- Contest Example

Original poem: "a million fairytales tremble at us, they know how our love does outshine with flickering light- sounds of swift ivory doves cry out, fleeting into the ebon night; for our love loses not insight, never cursed or full of deep blight; I embrace you…you hold me tight saturated in loneliness were you- I knew the pain of loss and despair you carried with ease; black ravens plague this existence, yet you stay with me, longing for my hopelessness to cease, descending onto my grateful knees- I sense your essence in the breeze the wind blows, and gusts prevail, intense obscurity of the calamity I faced before you attains- emerging from the dust I was found weeping in the forsaken land of my desolated heart’s remains; as the tempest rages in warm rains, your genuine adoration still sustains for I am but a woman craving to be near you for all of eternity- and I shall feel this pure affection or you, my beloved…eternally. and... sweetheart, you are my perpetual connection, my alleviation found in perfection- bound by love and affection" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CONTEST EXAMPLE: black ravens plague this existence, fleeting into the ebon night- I embrace you…you hold me tight; I sense your essence in the breeze, descending onto my grateful knees- for our love loses not insight; your genuine adoration still sustains, the wind blows, and gusts prevail- as the tempest rages in warm rains saturated in loneliness were you- sounds of swift ivory doves cry out; they know how our love does outshine with flickering light- never cursed or full of deep blight, I knew the pain of loss and despair you carried with ease, yet you stay with me, longing for my hopelessness to cease emerging from the dust I was found- weeping in the forsaken land of my desolated heart’s remains; for I am but a woman craving to be near you for all of eternity- sweetheart, you are my perpetual connection bound by love and affection; and I shall feel this pure adoration or you, my beloved…eternally. intense obscurity of the calamity I faced before you attains, my alleviation found in perfection and... a million fairytales tremble at us… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FOR MY NEW CONTEST PLEASE REWRITE MY ORIGINAL POEM ABOVE AND CREATE YOUR OWN MASTERPIECE.

I have read this two or three times. Too intimidated to try to figure it out at this time. I guess I am too busy with other things. A terrific poem though!

Lu Loo, I am trying to get this straight. So the idea is to change your lovely lines around and add up to five lines of our own (but only if we want?) i am counting 26 lines in each poem above, so it looks like you want it around 26 to 30 lines but keeping all your lines and only changing their order. Did I get that right? This is quite the challenge. wow.

you are right! you can add up to 5 lines of your own, as long as you use ALL my lines. Makes it more the poets too. I changed the directions later, hopefully everyone got them!! Thanks lovely lady :)-luloo

Quite a challenge, unprecedented - at least for me. It is already a lovely poem but the challenge is an exciting one. Currently my muse is marinating in it - I'll wait until she dries off. truly - pretty writing. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

I decided to add to the contest that you can add up to 5 lines of your own if you want. I woke up from a nap earlier with that thought. thanks dear Richard
