*important note - please read* *LUNA CHALLENGED ME TO ENTER HER DREAMMASTER CONTEST* the following was copy&pasted direct from the announcement: In Honor of Fictionwriter (Joy). Joy has been requesting me to send my muse, Luna and her muse (my grand-muse) The Dream Master, on one of their fantastic adventures. The purpose of this contest is for YOU to send JOY, together with my two muses, on the adventure of her life. Luna has been my muse for years. She loves to play on the moon and swing on stars, fly with fairies and dance in the meadow at night with the noctural creatures. She can be very mischievous and loves a good trick. The Dream Master is very powerful. He lives in a glorious castle in the sky and is the Giver of Dreams. Beings from far and wide come to him to ask him to grant them good dreams. Usually (if he is not irritated with Luna), he grants all requests. He and Luna have a long history together. They have taken many grand adventures, to other galaxies, to King Arthur's Court, to the bottom of the sea to visit the Sea God, to the land of the ten foot high talking flowers, the list is endless. They travel via magic carpet, by flight (the Dream Master can fly and Luna holds his hand) and by teleportation. They have an on again, off again, romantic relationship. At one time they were engaged to be married. All of this is documented in my portfolio if you are interested. Your poem should be at least 24 lines, and remember, Joy will be accompanying the two on this adventure. IMPORTANT: The last stanza of the poem should not only wind up the trip but should indicate to me where they plan to go next, and will be the subject of my next poem about the pair. Rhyming or free verse, it matters not. Just make sure Joy has a great time! Use any art you like. if you read the profile of "fictionwriter" (all lowercase) you will find she loves to ride horses - i took that fact and ran with it.... or should i say flew with it hehe ;-) thanx for reading ~ do please leave your two cents and fanstory will leave you theirs.... laters! shelley :)

my dearest mikal....
i love you with all my soul. i will watch over you and i hope you find love again. i wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, i wish it could have been a longer life.
i do need to tell you something. a secret i held inside of me from the day we met. i always wanted to come clean.... i almost did twice. i'm sure you'll remember those two times when i tell you my secret.
before i begin, i must say i am your katrynna. now and forever. and i do love you. i was just always so scared how you would react if you knew the truth. the truth about who i was before.
i was not born katrynna. i am not an orphan as i led you to believe. my parents and brother and sisters did not die in a car accident. the truth is, my family disowned me. they kicked me out and told me to never come back.
they did this because they never knew me - the real me.
you see, my birth name was kevin. i was born a male. i always knew something was wrong. i hated being a boy. it was not right. god made a mistake and put me in the wrong body. when i was 17, i came out and told my family. they shunned me. when i was 18 i tried to kill myself. i went into the hospital and got help. at 19, i changed my name and started living as a woman. when i was 21 i finally completed my physical trans. surgery.
and then when i was 24, i met you. love at first sight. i wanted to tell you. but i was scared. i'm sorry. please forgive me. i love you. always have and always will.
forever,
your katrynna

| Author Note: | a blitz poem written for the hippocampus contest - see notes for details.... |
| Author Notes |
notes.... the contest:"Can Hippo Campus be Controlled?" Who dares to delve into their own train of thought to write whatever they wish, in whatever form they desire, keeping under three hundred words? *blitz poem with some modified lines* The Blitz Poem, a poetry form created by Robert Keim. This form of poetry is a stream of short phrases and images with repetition and rapid flow. Begin with one short phrase, it can be a cliche. Begin the next line with another phrase that begins with the same first word as line 1. The first 48 lines should be short, but at least two words. The third and fourth lines are phrases that begin with the last word of the 2nd phrase, the 5th and 6th lines begin with the last word of the 4th line, and so on, continuing, with each subsequent pair beginning with the last word of the line above them, which establishes a pattern of repetition. Continue for 48 total lines with this pattern, And then the last two lines repeat the last word of line 48, then the last word of line 47. The title must be only three words, with some sort of preposition or conjunction joining the first word from the third line to the first word from the 47th line, in that order. There should be no punctuation. When reading a BLITZ, it is read very quickly, pausing only to breathe. |
