    Above is the winner's list of the Premier contest that I decided to enter
    even tho' I am basically jaded about how the contests are ran at my home poetry site
    since several sponsors base their selection upon favoritism and popularity of the poet rather than on
    the merits, and quality of the poem entered.
    I just received an email notification of my second place win in the first Premier contest
    I have ever entered at my poetry site. A win with a poem that I wrote in less than
    twenty minutes, with no edits. Below is the new sixteen verse poem that I entered that
    morn immediately after composing it...--Tyr


    Revelations Of Beguiling Gaze, From The Witch's Head

    From dark abyss, many light-years away
    witch's head, its beguiling, evil gaze,
    yellow-eyed sockets, curses to betray
    far more sinister in that blacken haze.

    Alas! Its lights gleam in brightest allure.
    Leading its lost victims to blindness sure.

    She steeped in paganism, its evil spells
    spiral coils, deceiving serpent-like trance,
    heaving breasts, illusions from distant hell
    baits true romantics, by star rays romance.

    Alas! Its lights gleam in brightest allure.
    Leading its lost victims to blindness sure.

    Her reach, into space and far, far beyond
    mighty darken surge, her galactic source,
    hiding darkness of which devils are fond
    to destroy innocent mortals of course.

    No one I know deserves the recognition for time, energy & definitely quality poetry, that Tyr does.

    Congrats, my friend!

    IF

    If you can help others fulfill their dreams
    And your heart ever seeks far greater Light
    If you hold true, evade life tempting schemes
    And with honor, you sleep in peace at night;
    If better Life and true Love are your goals
    And every day you give your very best
    If you reject dark lusts, their heavy tolls
    And try to give others their needed rest:

    If your family, its love is your rock
    Your spirit will dance with dearest of hope
    If you do not wither from life's hard knocks
    And you endeavor to expand mind's scope;
    If kindness, is steady shield you embrace
    And in its warmth, your soul chooses to bask
    If you find courage's truth, is no disgrace
    And ever seek to learn more when you ask:

    If you embrace Nature, its awesome gifts
    Seek sanctuary in its sweet abode
    If gentleness is your key that uplifts
    And you reject evil you have been sold;
    If in this life, you hold your head up high
    And wake each new morn with thankful delight
    If heart's sincere love you do not deny
    You will find its blessings forever right!

    If in times of sorrow you dare not fold
    And with brave heart face darkest of sorrows
    If years flow, you find you are very old
    And you can face shortness of tomorrows;
    If your past brings with it a certain pride
    And your memories hold that Life was sweet
    If from Light's shining truths you do not hide
    Heaven's gate, your loved ones you will greet!
