Multifandom Poetry Fest 2021
Welcome to the fifth annual Multifandom Poetry Fest, a prompt fest for poetry for all fandoms! Have fun, and feel free to promote it on your journal/community/tumblr/discord server/whatever if you want. You can copy the code in this box wherever HTML applies:
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: Can I write fills without leaving any prompts, or leave prompts without writing any fills?
A: Go 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, or a poem that spoils recent installments of canon (or make a request for the same). Is that okay, and what sort of content do I need to warn for?
A: Sure, that's fine. Warnings are considerate and appreciated, but they're also up to the discretion of the individual poster. Consider this a warnings-optional space and read at your own risk accordingly.
Q: Can I prompt/write original works?
A: Original works are a fandom! If you want, you can specify genre and character types while prompting, like so: original fantasy setting, female elf/female orc, next time I won't miss.
Q: I want to participate, but I don't have a dreamwidth account/I'm shy.
A: That's okay--anonymous posting is on.
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.

Till you came into my life
Peace is what you were not made for
Till I heard the tunes you played for
Me, wild skirling pipe and fife
Peace is all I ever prayed for
Shall Her teachings be betrayed for
A spirit born for joy and strife?
Peace is what you were not made for
We kissed in meadows all arrayed for
Spring--red cress, purple loosestrife
Peace is all I ever prayed for
But love cannot be bought or payed for
Nor chosen. Though my doubts are rife
Peace is what you were not made for
If I'm the one you draw your blade for--
I'll be your peace. You be my knife
Peace is all I ever prayed for
Peace is what you were not made for

I'm really glad you think I captured them and their relationship!

Do you know how many rhymes English has for "life?" Not many, as it turns out, and I used most of them in this. (The one I didn't use, perhaps ironically, is "wife".)
But I'm sure you could write a villanelle if you put your mind to it! You just have to believe in yourself XD
