Midnight

Throughout every part of Elftown,
Citizens gather with a feeling of trite.
Not a cheerless face can be found.
We are united by celebration, tonight.

Florissant fireworks blast.
It’s midnight here.
Shadows of bright light are cast;
Whispers saying, “Kiss me, dear?”

Laughter and merriment surrounds.
Flutes of the finest glass tink,
The roar of gleeful children sounds
As Hedda pours my lover and I another drink.

Humans dance ‘round fires like gypsies,
Halflings sit with their lovers in toe,
Orcs and Elves are festive and tipsy;
Who the dwarfs kiss, we’ll never know.

2010 lights up the spacious sky,
Signaling another year has passed.
Bottle rockets begin to fly,
I hope my resolutions this year last.

Up in the midnight sky,
A sudden and instant reminder,
Forever we live and die,
This year we must be kinder.

2008-11-17 [FamousPanda]: There is the spirit, and its not broken. Enter it and do a good job I know you can do it.

2008-11-17 [LunaWolfDragon]: i have a drawing i did of a famus person one time i might use the paint to add in effects around it. If that is not okay then say so now

2008-11-17 [FamousPanda]: does the famous person have anything to do with new years?

2008-11-17 [nehirwen]: If it has fireworks or something like that in the background it's perfectly fine. (or champagne etc)

2008-12-28 [nehirwen]: <img:17985_1127690355.gif> New Years Poll 2008, the voting has started! :)

2008-12-29 [LunaWolfDragon]: damn it i messed the deadline cause of computer problems *mother hummper*

2008-12-29 [nehirwen]: Aww, what a pity. :(
I think this contest will be reopened in Februari, you can submit it then, if you want...
You'll have to wait a year before there will be a new poll though. ;)
Perhaps you can join another contest?

2008-12-29 [LunaWolfDragon]: If i do not have any more troubles with computers i will and i like doing the ones you host i just got to remember to be on time and get it done before the deadline.

2009-12-28 [*Phoenix*]: where would I put a photo manipulation? It would go under art, right?

2009-12-28 [Ihsahn]: Yes but sadly the art section was closed on the 24th for some reason, yet we have no entries...

2009-12-29 [*Phoenix*]: But that was a stupid deadline! It was before Christmas!!! grr...and I worked on making it too because this page says it's open.....

2009-12-29 [Ihsahn]: I am the owner of the page, seeing as I see no entries, I am sure I can extend the deadline to match that of the photography.

2009-12-29 [*Phoenix*]: Ohhh. That would be nice!

2010-08-09 [*Phoenix*]: Hwello? What's up with this contest now? I looks like it died...
