[Flu] Hallowe'en Poetry Competition (9)

*Flutterings:iconFlutterings: reports, October 8
So instead of something trite and drearily obvious and orange hallowe'eny style - my contest for this month is about All Saints, and All Souls day...

I want you to write about death, and the dead. It can tie into hallowe'en as much or as little as you like but I'll warn you I am looking for some genuine and honest emotion here, Hallowe'en is a holiday - not an emotion, and it has been done.

COURAGE CONTEST RESULTS

`Amberlouie:iconAmberlouie: reports, December 13, 2007
:postit:COURAGE CONTEST ANNOUNCED: :postit:


What does Courage mean to you? In this competition it meant freedom, forgiveness, love, hate, new careers, roles-changed, cultures flattened, loss, old respect, ignorance, and routine.

The contest itself went considerably well; the time passed in its usual fashion and before I knew it, I had this wonderful collection of stories and poems. Once again, I can't believe the amount of people who entered, and really, thank you. The full list of entries can be found here, but without further ado:

Place Takers

:winner:1st place:

"The bulleted prerequisites blur past, until I reach the last one, which stands out with startling clarity: ‘you must know how to chi ku (work hard) to be employed here’. The literal translation of chi ku is to swallow bitterness."

The Bubble Tea Girl by *Negated

In all honesty, I had this piece favourited before I even knew it was a submission. I admire The Bubble Tea Girl for it's delicate language, and its compact way of telling an ideal. *Negated gives a tradition a new light. In the words of the author, "Sometimes courage is bowing your head and sludging onwards no matter what orange peels and potato rinds are thrown in your face."

*Negated wins:

:bulletblue: 1 Year Subscription/ or Print of value
:bulletblue: Journal Feature by *Amberlouie
:bulletblue: Journal Feature by *ThornyEnglishRose
:bulletblue: Journal Feature by *poprocksandcharlotte

*

2nd Place:

"He stayed home that semester and watched the leaves turn golden and red and fall en masse. The landscape shifting colors."

Esprit de L'Escalier by *dgregory.

Whilst showcasing *dgregory's extended dialogue, the story is one that all can relate to. It shows a courage changed--one that the narrator realises is the way its going to be, but there's one thing the narrator does have, "the Tin Man's Heart, the Lion's Courage, and the Scarecrow's Brain. He was Dorothy's home."

*dgregory wins:

:bulletblue: 3 Month Subscription or Print of Value [donated by *poprocksandcharlotte]
:bulletblue: Journal Feature by *Amberlouie
:bulletblue: Journal Feature by *ThornyEnglishRose
:bulletblue: Journal Feature by *poprocksandcharlotte

*

3rd Place:

"She started to structure her life around what it would mean to be an only child. Late at night, accompanied by coffee and photo albums, she tried to find a way to erase his potential."

Giving Up by ~EveningDownpour is such an honest piece, told in a way that makes us all think of the things we do. Our courage forces us to fill voids in order to become stronger, and more resilient.

~EveningDownpour wins:

:bulletblue: 1 Month Subscription, or deviant merchandise [donated by ^StJoan
:bulletblue: Journal Feature by *Amberlouie
:bulletblue: Journal Feature by *ThornyEnglishRose
:bulletblue: Journal Feature by *poprocksandcharlotte

order the smexilious combination of black/white witticisms in batches of a thousand words complementing the plethora of shining images breathed into the blown-glass of poetry that is | mimesis | here.
