ALL 12 finalists and Challenge Cafe moderators are excluded from the public vote. Voting is only open to Challenge Cafe members. / / / Piece 1 The Dark / / There is nothing around me but blackness. / It envelopes me completely and leaves me in fear. / My other senses are heightened to the point of paranoia. / It must be what they call The Dark. And I know I said “Mummy please don’t turn out the light.” / / Piece 2 Darkness / / The darkness of night is welcome and kind, / It offers moments of respite and solitude. / But the darkness of day, it burdens the mind, / Robs the soul of strength and fortitude. / Hence may night’s darkness be mankind’s beatitude! / / Piece 3 The Dark (Challenge Cafe Comp) / / My Darling! Follow me, out of my mind, / where the howling of souls and your heartbeat combine. / Where the pavement is littered with corpses at dusk, / and the jaded night sighs and gives in to my lust, / as the moon plays on silent in sorrow. / / Piece 4 Blindness / / Dark, dark, the blackest dark, coalhouse black; / Eyes dimmed, no more to pierce the dark; / Cane out stretched; tap, tap, tapping, building pictures in his mind; / Memory horned, to recollect each passage undertaken; / Feeling sun upon his face, his lust for life un-darkened. / / Piece 5 [from] void – darkness challenge / / Ancient times stab me from behind / As they would to my back / And what is it I have to find? / Ludicrous, absent / Yet soft. / / Piece 6 Darkness / / Darkness can be such a lonely place / blackness masks the hand before your face / eyes blink, ears twitch, your mind, it freaks / the wall does moan and the door it creaks / maybe the lightbulb I should just replace! / / Piece 7 Portrait of a Ranch Woman / / I cross the yard between the house and barn. / At 20 below, stars crackle in the black night / like ice under new boots. I lost my husband last year, / and I am alone; my comfort lies deep in this dark. / It takes my breath; it just goes on forever. / / Piece 8 The Dark / / Within the night absent of stars the hourglass still drains away. / Where, reliant upon the light, futile masks offer no hiding place. / But in reaching out to blindly touch we know we’re not alone. / Then give what death requires of us to learn that all things pass. / The stars they will return again and brighter for their rest. / / Piece 9 Darkness 9The absence of Light) / / If you tried to explain the concept of light to a man who was born without vision; / The breathtaking colours filling the sky as the sun sets, / The glint in a childs eye, / Or the warm glow on your loved ones cheek… / Would you then go on to define darkness? / / Piece 10 CCW3 / / A dispatch from 000, a woman was being assaulted, so they patched me through. I could hear her screaming and tried to intercept: “Get out of there, now!!” “I can’t, the doors are locked!” Then a savage sound, a sigh and a plea to get it over with. Death’s graffiti sprayed on every wall and we were too late but he just sat there smiling, eyes glazed beyond dark. / / Piece 11 The Dark / / A place that has no boundaries, / Reach out and touch emptiness, / Fear exists in this place, / Life starts and ends here, / It’s Dark but i will always see light! / / Piece 12 In The Night Shadows / / Its the time of night when you need your sleep, you hear a whistling near / your head, its dark but you can see. There is nothing around and you / cannot close your eyes because of this sound, yet, as you look up at the ceiling it is there, all over everywhere you turn suffocating, and slowly moving across your vision is ‘The Shadows of the Night Voting will close on Dec 18th at 12.00 Midday GMT. / / REMBEMBER, for your vote to count you must vote Here /

  AFTER YOU”VE READ POEM / 1. i’m describing all i see standing with my eyes open i.e. the darkness and its effect. but in fact what i see is also a reflection upon me and thus am i the darkness? then at the end i close my dark eyes to hide from the darkness or possibly i’m just tired of it or perhaps i’m praying or soul searching. it is only then that i can finally see you, the ambiguous you, the truth about the darkness which is in fact the light… 2. or are my eyes closed for me by the force of the darkness 3 or perhaps all the images of the darkness i’ve described are seen with my eyes firmly closed and finally i see you in my mind, the light 4. or am i really saying whichever of these three ways you choose to interpret it that i finally see that You are the darkness i’ve described(seen) As it is written any and all of these ways of reading the poem are implied and the choice is left up to the reader who becomes the author as poetry is ultimately intended. poetry isn’t supposed to be information transfer…lol
