Multifandom Poetry Fest 2017
This is a prompt fest for poetry for all fandoms. Welcome, have fun, and if you want to promote it on your journal/tumblr/whatever, you can just copy the code in this box:
Rules
1) Leave a prompt in the form of fandom, characters or relationships, prompt. If you don’t want to specify the fandom or characters, you can say "any." One prompt per comment. Leave as many prompts as you like.
2) Reply to other people’s prompts with poems. The poems can be any length or form, or no form. Quality isn’t important--the point is to have fun, not to produce deathless works of art. (Any deathless works of art produced are just a bonus.)
FAQ
Q: I want to write a sonnet/haiku/villanelle/limerick, but I’m not sure how it goes.
A: You can find a good list of poetic forms and their structures here.
Q: I want to lik the bred.
A: Go right ahead.
Q: I want to fill a prompt, but someone else has already filled it.
A: That’s okay, prompts can be filled multiple times.
Q: I want to write explicit erotica, or a poem with potentially disturbing themes. Is that okay, and what sort of content do I need to warn for?
A: Sure, that's fine. Warnings are up to you, and choosing not to warn is okay too.
Q: How long is the fest going to be running for?
A: Currently, I don't have any plans to close this post to comments--I figure we'll keep going until everyone gets bored and wanders off. I reserve the right to change my mind, though.
Q: Is there a collection on AO3 where I can post my poems?
A: Right here.
Q: I want to participate, but I suck at writing poetry.
A: Aww, you’re probably not as bad as you think. But even if you are, it really doesn’t matter--like I said, the main point is to have fun.

Better lose some trade from the outside
Than half the workforce show up sick or dead.
So we were safe, while all the world died.
They gave us guns, and said to watch the screen.
In fear of twisted beasts, we put to sea.
The ocean’s depths pierced by a dreadful keen,
My dreams were echoes of their agony.
But when we met a vessel under sail
We always saw them safely back to land
Till once we got no answer to our hail.
We flashed our lights. They didn’t understand.
The order given couldn’t be denied.
I pressed a button, and the world died.

Ulf and Elvira
(Anonymous) 2017-03-16 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)You don't know it at first
When you live in a bubble
And can't tell that it's burst
We worked hard all our lives
And we raised a good son
But we could not realize
That now we should run
And the world died
We thought it would be different
The result of a war
We really were so innocent
In the era Before
But then the world died
We are old and confused
Nothing now as it was
This is not what we'd choose
But it's not up to us
Because the world died
When the world dies around you
It tends to hit hard
When it all ends
It takes you off your guard
But through the long horrors
Though we're old and used up
Since we have one another
We can drink from this cup
Even though the world died
