cinquain ekphrastic heterometric list quatrain rondeau sapphic sonnet villanelle

This is my ten-form poetry submission to the first annual ATTYS competition.

All ten poems are related to the process of coming to terms with different life situations: a miscarriage, the death of a loved one in the Vietnam war; a political abduction; the ex-pat life; a battered wife; betrayal; Alzheimer's Disease; drought; isolation; a mother/daughter relationship.

Thank you for reading my submission.  I hope these poems "speak" to you!

The Romanian Noblewoman (Lady Dimitrescu x Female Reader) by HannibalIlsaJeanKing

⚠️*MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING*⚠️ ⚠️*KINDLY READ ONLY IF YOU'RE AN ADULT. THERE IS A LOT OF SEXUAL CONTENT, VIOLENCE, INAPPROPRIATE SCENES AND FOUL LANGUAGE*⚠️ You have lost track of time completely. You still wonder how you got here in the first place. The land is barren as far as your eyes can see and yet, there is company in some form. After being introduced to the Lady Dimitrescu, you wonder why on Earth you decided to keep on surviving. Her hands and speech reeked of nothing but cruelty. Nevertheless, you manage to survive all of her temper tantrums. Just as you thought you cannot take it anymore, the tall woman starts to mellow. But your worth reaches the ears of Mother Miranda, who quickly takes an interest in you. As you're being pulled on all sides by different people, you long to be with only one. Your Alcina Dimitrescu. Is it worth it? Will you escape or will you stay? . . This story contains scenes of explicit violence, sex, inappropriate behaviour and foul language. I am also thinking of including a few risque scenes with the Dimitrescu girls. Also, I do want to give justice to Donna. There will be a few intimate (maybe?) scenes with her, as well. I do have a rough idea as to how I want the story to progress but let's see how it turns out lol. This is my first story so please be kind. Yours truly, Hannibal King.

One Poem A Day - The First 200 by scoobynoo

Everyday, for 365 days - also known as a year, I will post a poem. Haikus, free verse, sonnets, villanelles and more. They might not be the best, but, then again, I'm not to be the best. I'm simply trying to learn a new craft and express myself.

Truth or Consequences by Snora49

18+ Mature Content · ───── ·𖥸· ───── · Helene Veritas spends most of her time taking care of others by providing counseling to teenagers and being a caretaker for her mom. But who is taking care of her? · ───── ·𖥸· ───── · ❝ It feels like home being this close to him, having him inside of me. I realized I had closed my eyes, so when I open them, I see Felix smiling. It's radiant. It makes me smile as well. As I start moving my hips, I hear him mumble, "fuck I missed you." Missed me? Or missed this? He barely knows me, and I shudder to think if he slept with anyone else in the last month. I'm so confused... I shouldn't want him, and yet, I don't want him with anyone else. He deserves more than someone who's broken. More than someone who is about to lose their mom. "Helene? Come back to me." Drawing my attention back with one hand caressing my face. ❞ · ───── ·𖥸· ───── · 🥇 The Mystical Awards 4.0 for Romance 🥉 The Clovers Award for Chick Lit 🥉 Banana Awards: Sweet Treats: Best Chick Lit Writer 🥉 The Botticelli Awards for New Adult

Devour (Dimitrescu Daughters X Fem Reader) by RanchRacoon

*COMPLETE* This follows your story as personal maiden for the Ladies of House Dimstrecu. You have worked diligently for nearly a year, survived a multitude of comings and goings of new maidens. You never faltered, asked questions, spoke too much, and never made your presence known unless needed. Until a fatal encounter lands you in the dungeon at the mercy of Alcina Dimitrescu and the parasite Cadou. Does your experiment go wrong, or right? BEFORE READING Trigger warnings for the entire story: NSFW, nudity, death, formication (sensation of bugs crawling on/under your skin), blood, religious ideology (Miranda's Cult), language, human consumption (obviously), and minor abuse. This is a mature piece of writing, for those 18+. If you are a minor I cannot stop you from reading, however it is strongly encouraged you find more appropriate material. This story is about women loving women, and includes the atmosphere of hating men. Negative comments will be deleted. I do not own the rights to anything Resident Evil franchise related.
