Winners
Honestly; every contest seems like it's harder and harder to judge :faint: but after a LOT of reading and re-reading, power outages and more reading I can finally announce the winners!!!
:winner: remake 1st place: dietcocaine with lost, but never found
lost, but never foundsince you're gone, i have become that one girl: too much of not enough, she only goes out after dark, morphing through time to the end.who am i to shine? what am i? burn scars and washing machines, the sound of an approaching train -- off the map, a soft and fickle heart.empty street, runway, it's all the same stumbling around after the storm.my angel, these feelings cover me like summer in Paris; i see drops of Jupiter (they are called fireworks for a reason).my birdcage boy, outsiders don't understand. you are foreign even in your skin; too busy for life, playing the suicidal king of hearts.so let's pretend it's 9 pm instead. burn with m...

:bademoticon: 2nd Place: SilverInkblot with The sound of an approaching train
The sound of an approaching train282 days into the year and I’m still not living, lost in this urban ballet, this city of blinding lights. We knew a place where no cars can go, where even the crickets couldn’t be heard - fifty one miles down an old country road, where the wildflowers grow like frilly laces, moonblossoms tearing through the earth. You could feel the sky in your thought out gaze, ignoring the stars and drifting into five am on velvet waves just about to break.We don’t go there anymore.This thing between us set the night on fire but it only lasted a little while. I still have that fire smoldering in my ashtray heart, but flowers aren’t apologies. You...

:blueribbon: Honorable Mentions: saltwaterlungs | RoseScarlet & Time-Signature
my opinion about youlonely bird exhaling on the kitchen floor, your ramshackle wings need to rise higher from this ocean inside you of tequila at five pm; you are just a bad luck woman searching the eyes of strangers we meet for a harlem nocturne of nighttime melancholia, or a sad story of a jukebox with starry, starry skin.you are my sweetest downfall, but flightless birds with wildhearts don't belong here. Icarus.(glass eyes,cracked inside)you are this scar,you are the street i will never crossi need you like a heart needs a beatAnd i can't let you slip away.because we shared lifewhen the fire within our seasran,ran through our veins,and when we dancedto the stars, celestial glory.(lady terra,she's just a flower grown wild.)so when the lights fade awayinto the darkremember me, fallen angelandbring me the horizongive me the sun(i want his wings,crimsonvermillionand the taste of bloodorangesslashed across the sky.)for i am a sunken ship.<da:thumb id="431191082"/>
Since I didn't know we were having honorable mentions, you will each receive 50 points!




What is Title Poetry
Star! Star! Star! if you need inspiration go to TheTitlePage has a collection of Interesting Titles you can use!

So I've recently discovered 'Title Poetry' from TheTitlePage and simply put and I find it awesome.

To create a title poem all you do is browse deviantART for titles to use to create your own poem.

Examples:

.i don't sleep to dream.i could show you what my dreams are made of when the world fades away but i haven't slept since summer and I'm drinking vodka like it's love because I want to be beautiful again with the liquor on his lips and the blue dress I lost I find awake or asleep it is you I love.<da:thumb id="400824733"/> We meet at the sea strandIf I was an old building and if you were a sailboat, the dialogue of the tides would sing all the lonesome love letters you never wrote.
