The Challenge

[Emmie]

*reveals herself from the shadows* So here I am again, with new words of encouragement, but also rules to shackle your minds creativity. For a challenge would not be a true challenge, were it not challenging! *smirks* From this point onwards, things will only get more difficult, but I hope you all enjoy yourselves, for that is after all the purpose! *slowly melding into the shadows again, leaving only the echo of an amused laughter*

I don't know if anyone spotted it, but my first poem was Acrostic, so if you read the first letter of each line, you got "Poetry Slam Yo"! The idea was for us to have a small Poetry Slam of our own, perhaps without winner? But Hopefully we can have fun, and maybe sharpen eachothers minds in the process? ^^

A short informative description of the plans I have for this thread. From now on, we will be adding rules every now and then. I will start us off, by adding the first rule (Theme: MnF). Then in a day or two, another person can add another rule of their choosing, but also change mine if they wish. So perhaps the next person will add a rule of Style (insert style), but also change the Theme to animals for example. I will also try to keep my first post updated with the current rules, so that there may be no confusion over it.

Theme: MnF

And my own contribution with the Theme of MnF in mind!

We live in fantasy, only in virtual memory
Here I can be true and leave my mask behind
Is this my reality, or just another reverie?

People pass me by, mere pixels of a neverending world
But as they are to me I am to them, another dot
We live in fantasy, only in virtual memory

If my feelings are real, does that mean this fantasy
Is just another form of my own existance?
Is this my reality, or just another reverie?

I created someone in my own image, more free than myself
I am a god of my own creation, a puppeteer
We live in fantasy, only in virtual memory

Perhaps I am not the puppeteer, but the puppetry
Freely dancing to the tune of my new master
Is this my reality, or just another reverie?

My feelings are conflicted and I, confused
I am at a crossroads, which path must I take?
We live in fantasy, only in virtual memory
Is this my reality, or just another reverie?
