This is a new contest I thought up this evening called the “Title My Poem” contest.  I implore everyone who reads this poem to leave me a comment with what they think the title of the poem should be.  I will pick the winner and title the poem on Monday December 22nd.  The winner will receive the following prizes:

To enter the contest you must do one of the following:

  • Leave a comment with a title suggestion (make sure I can contact you to let you know if you won)
  • Twitter message me @dragonblogger a title suggestion (reply me, but you must mention my contest in your tweet)
  • Post about my contest and link to it
  • Vote for me and leave a comment on BlogNetAwards

Just for playing the contest I will award you with 50 entrecredits per bullet performed and 500 EC’s for Voting on my blog on BlogNetAwards.  Make sure you send me your Entrecredit Blog name that you would like me to credit.  One rule: Only 1 title suggestion allowed per person.

@jmedvm is the The winner of the Title My Poem contest and will receive 3,000 Entrecredits as a reward.  The winning title is “The World at Nightmare’s End” and I liked the fit better, some other potential titles were “Cyberspace” and “Vortex”

The World at Nightmare’s End

What a little oddity
An object that is no commodity
An object in a place
With a person who has no face

Simple tests over endless time
Without reason and without rhyme
Ghosts in past there is our futures
Frozen rivers with frozen features

Formless mouths speak wordless words
Beasts swarm in uneven herds
Screams and shouts in empty caves
Beasts of burden treated like slaves

All this creation lies given birth
Scattered about upon this earth
Swallow dreams and spit out fortune
The Bitter aftertaste of ones misfortune

The trouble is that there is no end
Messages are written with nowhere to send
Boys chase girls and girls are strong
Nobody knows which is right or wrong

Upside down this life it seems
Will be answered in ones dreams
One finds his own great power
When he reaches his final hour
