[Breneir Tzaracomprada]

Folks, it is my pleasure to announce the opening of the 4th El Pretz Per Tomas Poetry Contest! The judges this year are the nation's poet laureate, @Carlüs Éovart Vilaçafat and the founder of the contest, @owenedwards

I express my gratitude for their willingness to participate in reviewing submissions.

The submission period will run until March 31st so plenty of time to wax poetic and submissions are welcome in either Talossan or English. But please for those of us not as well-versed in Talossan please provide an English translation.

New this year is the prize of $30 USD along with publication on Fora Talossa.

Submissions can be submitted via Witt PM here or via email to copebh [at] gmail [dot] com.

Your wonderful haiku has been received.

@Crement Itravilatx I am wondering if you too might throw in a haiku?

Talossa: A Place for Solitude

Quiet forum threads,
a lone post drifts like dust motes,
waiting to be seen.

Life is quite fleeting
Continual renewal
And so blooms its hope

We seem to be on a roll with haikus but all forms of poetry are welcome, folks.

"I Dream"

I dream
The world turns
Shadows melt
Dream burns

Passion sated
Fear from hate
Passion lost
Fickle fate

Tangled limbs
Broken trees
Sun fades
Darkness sees

Quiet, fearful
Music flares
Dreams return
No one cares

Jumbled thoughts
Lost, confused
Body weak
Mind abused

Rain, lightning
Roar of thunder
Blowing wind
Life a blunder

Day is gone
Dream no longer
Soon to sleep
Calm the hunger

These are the jumbled thoughts of a wannabe poet who has no talent whatsoever, but things run through my mind and tumble out, it sucks but its mine
