The Fair is a Magical Place
by: ShayminSkies (me)

The summer nights be hot and lonely,
until you step into the fair,
but then you realize its couple games which makes it unfair,
you turn around and glance closely,
and see a magical spark in the sky,
you ask yourself "Why am I alone, why, why?"

Look around find a bench, and take a sadly seating,
as you thought back to when your lover said they were cheating,
you sit there on the bench sad and weary,
until a beautiful maiden as wondrous as a fairy,
looks at you with her golden eyes,
and offers to share her fair pie

She sits down next to you, her look is amazing,
like a delicate breeze passing by,
she gave you a fork and you both ate pie,
only for her to run off and say bye,
she drops her pink heart glow wand that was still blazing

You gently pick it up and remember what she said: "come to the Ferris wheel by 10"
the time on your wrist says 9:49,
you quickly run with all your might,
as you get there you notice no one's there,
and just get in the line feeling like you lost a fight

You stand there almost ready to the front line,
and then you see her, now your world turning bright,
she goes next to you, you glance at the time which was 9:59
together you get on the ride, feeling like fireworks on a hot summer night
you notice you still had what she dropped, you hand it over,
until you realize she had a new one with a lucky clover

While you are on the ride, spinning and spinning,
she gives you the lucky clover wand,
you ask "I'm not lucky what's this for?"
she holds you and gives you a kiss that felt warm,
this day at the fair was a memorable one indeed,
because she gave you a glow wand that would be considered a weed
 
I submitted this before counting the words, which ended up being only 31 @_@ so it can't even qualify. That doesn't mean you can edit it and claim it as your own! D:<

Bright lights,
Moon overhead
The sky is just right
With Stars up there
Carousels spinning
Laughter filling the air
Wonderous scents too!
Oh joy oh joy
You have at the Fair

This didn't take as long as it should have xD I decided to write it on a whim and enter it before I changed pretty much everything. :p And it barely made it past the world limit ;0;
She feels the soft brush of the wind
Her hair spirals in a vibrant flash of auburn
A pool of colors envelop her
Seething scarlet, chocolate brown, gentle apricot, pleasing canary yellow
Beauty is at the finest
Yet she is not satisfied.
The falling leaves around her
Falling in waves of enchanting hues
Do not appeal to her.
Nor does the scrumptious pumpkin pie
Nor does the tender weather.
She does not find peace in the time of Fall.

She feels the stinging cold
The glow of her eyes caress the fluttering snow
A gentle blanket stretches as far as she could see
Its color is pure, innocence, perfection
Beauty is at the finest
Yet she is not satisfied.
The blanket was neither warm nor cold
But rather, does not appeal to her.
Nor do the snowflakes, a gift from Heaven
Nor does the beauty of the frosted woods
Nor do the shimmering lights that they wore.
She does not find peace in the time of Winter.

She feels the burst of life
The emotions within her are as colorful and powerful as the world around
Soft petals and the pattering of rain call out to her
The petals, which are painted with an unimaginable amount of variety
Beauty is at the finest
Yet she is not satisfied.
The blooms are not alluring enough to spark her want to see them
Touch them.
Nor does the glistening rain
Nor do the laughing clouds.
Nor does the deep greenery.
She does not find peace in the time of Spring.

She feels the embrace of the Sun
Her skin dances with the colors of the Sun
Fun in the Sun calls from the oceanside
The calling from those she loves.
Beauty is at the finest
Yet she is not satisfied.
Her loved ones do not call loud enough
Nor does the roar of the tides
Nor does the melody of the ice cream truck
Nor does the endless fun.
She does not find peace in the time of Summer.

Or does she?
Yes, she does.
Her world explodes.
The horizon is marked in streaks of red
The sky darkens to a brilliant galaxy of violet and black.
The dark sunset sky is lit with a blast of light, color.
And then another.
The loud sounds of the lit fireworks comforts her.
She gazes upwards, watching the dance of the stars and flame.
The colors tangle and mix, more colors than she could name.
She desires to become a part of it
To become one with the beauty in the sky.
She found peace in the time of the Summer Nights.

I wonder if I'm the only person who wrote haiku-style stanzas.

The sun is setting.
Excitement fills the village
On this summer night.

Rainbow lights strung up,
Filling the sky with color.
A warmth fills the air.

Children run outside.
Stands filled with goods are lined up.
It is almost time.

Music starts to play
As the field fills with laughter.
The festival starts!

What a joyous sight!
Fireworks fill the night sky.
People dance and sing.

Lines at every stand.
Hot dogs and cotton candy!
Balloons and pinwheels!

So much to choose from!
The smell of food is tempting.
All around is joy!

But wait, what is that?
The sky begins to darken.
The field is quiet.

Clouds appear above.
The firework booms replaced
With booming thunder!

Rain is pouring down
As lighting strikes can be seen.
Hell is broken loose!

The stands are closed up
As people run for shelter!
Laughs replaced with screams!

People wait inside,
Watching the storm soak the field,
Hoping it will pass.

Finally, it does.
Everyone steps back outside
And goes to the field.

Everything is drenched.
The festival can't be saved.
What can be done now?

A man steps forward.
"We do not need all these things
To have a good time."

"We'll have our event
Without these fancy add-ons."
"How?" Asked the people.

"Go inside your homes.
Get anything you may have
Our event can use."

And so they all did.
Lights, radios, food, blankets.
And they brought it out.

The festival starts.
Laughter fills the air once more.
People dance and sing.

Candles dot the ground,
Filling the night with bright light.
Music can be heard.

Even without stands,
And fancy decorations,
And bright fireworks,

The people had fun.
They all danced and sung and laughed,
And had a good time.

And isn't that just
What having a festival
Is really about?

Can't read that to save me life. Too bright! Going to submit mine so Nightbae everyone can see it!
 
And if anyone cares about the villager I made, her name is Reina and she's a snooty, classy little Persian kitty who looks like this

Who's ready for some trashy junk poetry!?

Summer Love
As winter settles, and spring dies down;
The night is silent, with a heavy air floating through
The sound of crying wolves, reminds me;
Why he left, where he is now
Now, he sleeps, lost until the next wave of light
The last time I saw him;
It was an eclipse of happiness
Streams of stars shine through the sky,
None quite as bright as him
His touch; a burning love
His love; passionate and bright
I am the silvery shine to his burning triumph
I am the cold darkness to his warming heart
All my love has been alone
Then it comes, a breath of dawn
I see him coming, I know now
It?s my turn
I know, I will be okay
Every night, he dies to let me breathe
Come the break of dawn,
I fade to nothing
As dusk returns
My hope is found,
I know my place,
Here in this realm of darkness
I stay, until the cry of night dies down,
I will die until reborn into the night
He will take my place
Our love is so strong,
That each day, one of us must die
To let the other live
 
Y'all better not copy me or take any ideas from my poem, ya hear me?

Summer without the summer
By Shattered



Summer, the season to go out and play.
Enjoying the moment, not worrying about the time of the day.
The feeling of the suns beaming down hot rays.
But sadly, all i can do here is lay.

So alone, with my desk and my bed.
Told to write over and over again with this wooden thing with led.
Imagining what will it be like if i was dead.
But i'm just sitting her now, wishing that i behaved better instead.

As my friends hang out at the pool, leaving me all alone.
Knowing that they'll bring me back a little pity stone.
So as i'm limited to this little lousy zone.
But i know that i wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my tone.

While i sit here and write, in the comforts of my own home.
Feeling like those people from "Under the Dome".
Wishing i was outside in the sun, like that red small gnome.
Day dreaming about me swimming in the ocean with it's glorious white foam.

While i sit in my room, watching myself get dumber and dumber.
Thinking to my self "Oh man, what a bummer".
Hoping for some fun but trapped inside my slummer.
You probably might call this a "Summer without the summer".


The End


I love poetry and i hope you like my entry. The narrator is basically grounded for the summer.
 
This is my poem, please don't read it's really bad lol

Summer Nights
To the warm breeze on summer nights,
To the mosquito that bites,
To staying out for hours and hours,
To the bright and colourful flowers,
To the strong smell of pollen,
To the bee stings that happen often.

Summer nights are endless!
The whole experience leaves me breathless!
At the end of the night,
You want to snug up tight!
In your bed!
Summer nights don?t get better than this!​

It's not just a sand castle, but it's a giant sand castle on a beach during a summer night. In the sky, there are fireworks.

What do you think?
 
Walking outside, night,
The full moon is shining bright.
A fiery red sunset.

A glimmer of lights:
Laughing, fun, excitement, joy,
The great Bell Tree Fair.

Rare prizes await
As the summer sky darkens
With excitement, friends.

Many challenges
Await to test my skills here
At this summer fair.

A firefly buzzes;
The stars shining high above me:
A blissful evening.

Trying to incorporate a seasonal reference and intense imagery in each stanza, along with keeping the summer fair theme in play was quite difficult!

Did you know that I made both the avatar and signature all on PowerPoint? I did. I used only shapes, shape effects, and gradient backgrounds as provided by PowerPoint. Then I saved the images I made and used a gif maker to compile them.

Yes, PowerPoint 2013 had all of these features. I inserted shapes (circles, lines, rectangles, and even the squiggly line), used shape effects (for the glow), and gradient fill for some shapes. The only thing I didn't use PowerPoint for is the animation. Just designing the frames.
