Sky is the limit Competition code 053110

Competition      code 053110

Sky is the limit

 

 

Azure blue,

 

In the deserts of Sahara

I saw some years gone by

Wow an absolutely clear sky

With diamond studded sparkling stars

All remaining planets guarding by

 

Venus so exotically adorable,

The Moon just a slight crescent

There in the distance

Was Jupiter

So frantically agile

Ah!  Very much non- complacent

 

A few years later

In the middle of a dark

Canadian cloudy day,

I was flying in a plane

So high and far away

 

The sun was bright

Till it did finally set

The landing was amidst

Darkest of clouds

There was no, none how-so-ever blue

There wasn’t just at all any hue

It was chilly freezing cold

Deadly white a sheet of white gold.

 

Who had in heavens?

Consumed the loveliest of blue sky

I can’t now that say why

But twas really so very high

Above the silvery clouds

Yet flaking snows

A lively kicking sky

Yes,

Twas still there  

But shy

But shy

But shy...

A Quick Note

Meter has to do with "feet" or syllables of a line while rhyme scheme is similar word sounds. Meter is normally represented as numbers, rhyme scheme as letter groupings. There are a number of excellent sites to review when you search for "poetry meter" that can explain things more in depth, but a general shortcut to illustrate the difference is a Sonnet and Blank Verse. Both are written in iambic pentameter but the Sonnet has a rhyme scheme while the Blank Verse has none. --Jonathan Annoying the world, one person at a time (Group discounts available)

from the one and only CONFUSED SO RIGHTLY JUDGED

It’s simply a learning stage That’s about all I know What a competition I can't compete With stalwarts Poets of a wondrous class When I’m all but signally alone Confused! Can’t follow Simple instructions... Shall learn some how Perhaps all will teach me Still I’m learning At the door step Of my eternal grave I appear to be sincerely brave Hold on to me Competitors and judges Loved is coming...

If you do not understand the rules of a contest

Look up the terms used: http://www.neopoet.com/forum/39313-2010-05-may-contest-rules Because in this thread there is even a link to an explanation of what meter is. We can direct you to the information, we cannot force you to read it. --Jonathan Annoying the world, one person at a time (Group discounts available)

Loved,

glad to see you finally found that contest code box. I had it outlined in red on picture 3, in my comment to you on the May contest rules. Glad to see you finally found it. The competitions are all about learning new things and expanding your abilities. I am terrible with meter, but I have been working at completing an entry all month. There are still three days left for you to get your poem to fit the rules. There are plenty of internet sources that can help you learn about meter and plenty of books too. I do hope you'll take up the challenge of figuring it out in time. Kelsey

Loved, its clear

I love the way you word your lines, I really have to say, the way you write I feel inclined to give five stars, array. Call it biased, maybe, because your writes are styled, In such the way that I see, my favorite writes compiled. peace and cheers, logic
