Alacrity Valentine's Contest
Started By
Hello Alacrity!

We're excited to announce that we're having a site-wide contest just in time for Valentine's Day! You can enter in only one of two areas: Art or Poetry. Both will deal with the theme of "A Valentine for Alacrity".

Art: Any visual art relating to the theme can be posted. It must be your own art, but beyond that, be as creative as you can think!

Poetry: You don't need to rhyme or have a meter. Just stick to the theme and you can write whatever comes naturally to you.

All posts must be made to This Thread by 11:59 Ala time on 14 February 2013. Anything later will be disqualified.

There will be four winners for each category, one each chosen by a site staff group. The prizes will be as follows:

Moderators: Magical Dog Whistle
Helpers: The Professor Plush
Artists: Custom Accessory Maker
Admins: Magical Lifelong Locket

And to prove that anyone has the talent for this - in case you feel intimidated about entering your own - here is my own attempt at both:



Aussies are Red
Pit Bulls are Blue
It's Singles Awareness Day
At least I have my Shiba Inu

Yes, I have a thing for the dramatic.<br /> <br /> To all animals out there who have saved a soul. Thank you for your love.<br /> ________________________________<br /> <br /> You are dog, canine<br /> Aren't I supposed to own you?<br /> How do I love you?<br /> <br /> Humans are fickle<br /> Changing mates and breaking hearts,<br /> But dogs are loyal.<br /> <br /> Your eyes piece the veil<br /> You see me for who I am<br /> And not what I have<br /> <br /> Honest, sublime heart<br /> Yours is unconditional<br /> When it comes to love.<br /> <br /> Love needs no romance<br /> For, while I have saved your life<br /> You have saved my soul.

Forever My Love<br /> <br /> Walking toward me, My heart skips a beat. As you can see, I'm falling for you. Take my hand, Tell me your mine.<br /> <br /> Walking in school, I see you look at me. I smile at you, You smile back.<br /> <br /> Walking around the house the door bell rings. As I walk to the door, your standing there. You ask to come in, and I say sure.<br /> <br /> Cuddling up on the couch, we watch a movie. When you have to leave I say don't go. Walking out the door, you smile. But not before kissing me goodnight.<br /> <br /> I'll find you each day, I'll find you each night. Never leave me behind.<br /> <br /> Our love shall last forever, or shall it seem. My sweet honey, come to me. Let us sing a duet after prom. Let's stay together all day long.<br /> <br /> Never leave me alone at the house. Forever My Love, you'll be in my heart.

I want you to imagine something dear, <br /> Imagine a world that is cold, <br /> And a world that is full of snow, <br /> Imagine this world with ice, <br /> And this world isn't very nice, <br /> No one enters here on purpose, <br /> Broken hearts are here, purple and blue, <br /> This world my dear- is a world without you

Roses Are Red<br /> Violets Are Blue<br /> I See You Standing Over There<br /> So I'll Join You Too. ♥ <br /> <br /> My failure at poetry. XD<br />

Roses are red<br /> Violets are Blue<br /> I'd finish this poem,<br /> but I lost you.<br /> <br /> <br /> (will enter again. :3)<br /> <br /> <br />

love is tender, love is sweet, the love of a good dog is all you need .

Love is fine, love is sweet, But true love is hard to beat. There are days that can be tough but being kind is not enough. So when I'm down or feeling blue, I use a little help from you. So thank you alacrity for always being there for me!

<br /> "Looking into Alacrity for the First Time"<br /> <br /> Is there really such a happiness as I see before mine eyes? One look calls upon them to hush hush their unsettling cries. The image that lays before them looks almost to be surreal. But with a blink and a scratch, it appears incredibly real.<br /> <br /> The merle Aussie stands guard to a world locked by just a simple key hole. One where dogs of agility thrive with their loving people. They run, jump and play, in bursting colors of glitch and natural. My eyes continue to stare, watching their movements as they are something masterful.<br /> <br /> The uplifting smiles and laughs of those around, are something quite contagious. They talk of accomplishment and defeat, but are nonetheless courageous. Is it possible for a place to have more than a drop of audacity? Yes, and that is indeed my love for Alacrity.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

Heartbroken and alone<br /> You stood, by the road.<br /> I saw you, <br /> Our eyes met.<br /> Then I knew, <br /> <em> My love, I have just met. </em><br /> But then, as the weeks went by, <br /> Our love flew away, like a kite let fly. <br /> Now I stand, <br /> Heartbroken and alone. <br /> <br /> Then our eyes met, <br /> and he knew,<br /> <em> My love, I have just left. </em>

Someone special wrote this poem for me last year, I wanted to enter it here.. c:<br /> <br /> We started off as friends but soon after I started to see<br /> that you were the one that are and will always there for me.<br /> We fight and argue often but I still love you the same<br /> so much even at one point I called someone else your name.<br /> People say I'm crazy for staying with you but in all honesty<br /> I know that the love we have is nothing but true.<br /> <br /> With you I continue to change for better and for worse<br /> just by simply realizing I had to let my guards down first.<br /> You've taught me how to love and trust and be me<br /> The day that we grow apart, I pray to God I never see.<br /> Love is a battlefield and I know this is true so I am a soldier<br /> and I will fight and continue to fight for no one but you.<br /> <br /> Even though you and I have shed so many tears, I do not regret anything and I know there will definitely be more throughout the years.<br /> With us, the good has always outweighed the bad and<br /> your shoulder is the one I continue to cry on whenever I'm sad.<br /> You have given me what people wait a lifetime for,<br /> your heart, true love, wisdom and so much more.<br /> <br /> People say some love is rare and some love is kind<br /> well I know for a fact that our love cannot be defined.<br /> You love hard and so do I, so hopefully we will never say goodbye.<br /> Crazy drama we endure but no matter what you continue to stay<br /> that's why I know your the one for me and I mean it when I say<br /> I Love You Baby and last but not least, Happy Valentine's Day.
