Sponsored by JinMei Week!

Jinmirai Meibatsu has arisen from the ashes of inactivity to become a community that will strive to be much more present within the boards. As part of this act, we are running JinMei Week, a week where many events will be hosted by JM members. This is one of those events.

I would like to run a quick poetry contest on the subject of "Rebirth"

Poetry can be in any form you wish, but should be submitted by this time tomorrow. Please PM me your submissions if you wish to be included. All entries must remain anonymous.

Entries will be voted upon for 24 hours starting at or around 3:30pm GMT on the 3rd January.

Good luck!

Strange.

This story is a little insane, but believe everything that happened is true. A white cat appears one night in my room and aggressively began to meow. Rather than feed her, I pretend i did not see her. And then she jumped on my bed and said with a human voice: "You did the right thing by ignoring me. I am in your head and i don't actually exist." I remained silent. I do not like to talk to myself. The cat continued: "Exactly. Do not talk to me because i am not really here. And if you see me, that means i am not there. If you do not see me, I am there. The most important is invisible to the eyes, "she said and disappeared. "Yes, i remembered." I said I only saw her now, because she was no longer there. She was constantly at home, because i could not see her. And I went home, holidays were coming. For me they were already here. I loved the white cat that i could not see. I always dreamed of a white cat. Some days it appear in my room and I could see it. That was at my sad days. Spring disappeared for several days and I was constantly with her, even slightly started to dislike her. But at summer were constantly together. So we started to love one another and now we are together all the time. It is wonderful. I can not imagine life without it. I want to take a picture of it.

Here's how it looks:

Great, huh?

I walk towards light,
Bright! someone is dragging me,
My butt hurts, i scream

The dove reverts back to the first white shell
for a crime that he has yet to commit
for the dove knows know wrong
and is the perfect specimen
wich is why he he is the not the perfect specimen
for there is no perfect creature
thus he lied to the world
But, learning from his mistake
he may partake in a new earth
the dove comes out the the old white shell

#4

An ember, slowly falling down,
In mid-December, a lonely crown;
It rests, and breathes, and flickers bright �
Its chest then heaves, and bursts with light;
The small remnant of flame and smoke;
The last fragment we strain to stroke �
It lurches forward, loses life,
Without a word, it soon does die.
A small black stain upon the ground �
But no � what flame is now about
To grow so high that it overflows
Our very eye, and still, it grows.
A soaring bird unfurls its wings;
Its cawing heard as it starts to sing �
The sweetest sound flies from its beak,
A harmony found, lies beneath the deep
Orange feathers of this fiery bird,
All future endeavours will thrive, assured
By this rebirth, that we too can fly
Away with mirth, into the sky �
So the grey ash will kindle anew,
This joy can be had by me and you,
Remember then, that when you�re down,
The ember of the lonely crown
That faded out and lost its life,
Whilst made of friendship, can never die.

Please make your choice ^-^
