So, my school literary magazine, "Branching Out", was having a school-wide poetry contest. I'm on the staff, but poems are judged individually by all staff members, with the highest scorers being the winners. I entered one of mine into the contest, and the winners were announced today.

There was a tie for first place. Guess who was half of that tie.

Edit:

Progeny

It should have been a dark and stormy night
When the creature was brought to life
When the howling monster came screaming into the light

Under the glare of the sterile false sun
The protohuman was push-pulled from its lair
The Hippocratal mage invoked the demon

A composite of souls
Two essences twined to form
Four writhing limbs and a gaping hole

Mere flesh becomes life by transubstantiation
By sins committed in the dim evening light
Now their lives are consumed by their creation

And the hungry mouth demands tribute as they hold it
And already the burden of decades settles upon them
And yet the proud parents smile at their imprisonment

*squees* I should probably put the winner itself up here too, when I get around to it.

Yes! Yes you should! Then we can squee with quotes and content and everything! *snuggles you and uses the conehead icon*

*has posted the potential squeeing material* It's twisted stuff, though.

*waves "Go Seiber!" flag*

*squees more*

Lovely. Good job.

*purrs*

Yay!

That's awesome.

P.S. "Transubstantiation" is one of my favorite words ever.

It just sounds cool.

...it says something for me that the first time I read this I blinked and thought, '...Frankenstein/Monster slash?' Then I twigged and went 'D'oh!' *is Not Very Good at interpreting poetry*

Love for the poem. Many, many congrats for you.

-ink.

Heh.

apprentice_lurk thought it sounded like TMII Dinobot was being talked about. I guess it's up for interpretation.

'...Frankenstein/Monster slash?

Frankenstein gets no love. He was a complete jerk to the monster.

By the way, not to sound rude but...do I know you?

indigo-ink from FF.net or tornel74 from the Padded Cell. Have been lurking. *shame*

BTW, in love with icon. Thrust flail!

Damn, sorry, that was me.

I thought it was you, but wasn't sure. Welcome aboard!

(

apprentice_lurk made the icon too. I've been talking her into doing lots of Thrust sketches if you want to go over to her journal and look)
