Poetry Competition.

[landry38]

Figured I'd liven up the Fan Fiction area a bit more with a poetry contest, about anything. If you want, submit a poem and in the title, put "POETRY"
and I'll know it's a contest.

Submit any original works you may have come up with, and in 2 weeks, there will be a poll of all of them. *Tentative*

I will enter myself, so if I decide to use judging, I will not be a judge.

[VO]

[landry38]

[Nyerguds]

Hmm... can't we just all put 'em here? :p

I mean, it's more like the Drawings topic or something... and it's easier.

I got some kind of semi-nonsensical poem I wrote a few days ago... but I don't know if anyone would understand anything of it :\

[edit]
Ah well. I'll just make a topic :p

[Toxic10x]

Um, I think I'll just enter mine in this thread- It's a lil sonet i just cooked up :)

A half formed image on sleeper’s mind

A place and time of great esteem

It bears more weight than sight of eye

A drifting image from a dream



Your heart it holds, your mind it snares

This place that you so wish to go

But how to tell those unaware?

By what means could they be shown?



Alas for lack of answers found!

How to convey an image unto someone else

When to this life you are bound

And you cannot grasp the dream yourself!



So let us not while we’re awake

The meaning of our dreams forsake!



...it's funny, I used to not liek the structured nature of sonnets, but it's growing on me :)

[VO]

Can I put my poem in? It's unchanged since I last had it here for a second or two.


Warcraft 3 : teh poem

May McAndra rot, that horrible scot,
May he lose all his games than he plays for his clan
He spends all his days watching warcraft replays
So we all stole his haggis and ran
.

While sneaky AIES, in nublet disguise
Is rumoured to be worst of the bunch –
Says that normal is lame, but owns custom games
No doubt that he’d eat me for lunch.

Tixie Trix Tox, one said to have ‘pox
Is nice enough off of Battle-net
There is not a whim that I’ve not lost to him :
‘tis just that I ain’t played him yet.

The gibbon called Tag, the lame masser scag,
“Don’t hurt me ‘cos I can’t hurt you”
The lover of elves, (fictitious themselves)
Massed frostwyrms when no-one else knew.

And slimy SirSnake, with an archer or eight,
Attacked me when using the phone.
Scant blessing that he, with just Warcraft Three,
Can’t beat me at The Frozen Throne.

It’s just Tee-two-kay, when we get to play
(his name has some numbers – it’s leet)
It’s not time to pray – he won’t blow me away –
At last there is one I can beat!*

I got a few but I don't feel like sharing it...
-----------------------------------------------------
Life is like a shower. Some of the water just evaporates instantly, some of the water goes straight into the drain, some of the water gets to the tile and has a slow but steady ride towards the drain, and some of the water hits the wall and has a sharp drop to the tile, where it folows thei tile's path... the evaporated water are those dreams of life, those stars in mothers eyes that never made it... the water directly into the drain are all those aborted or dead babies that didn't have enough time to live... The water that hit the tile is a regular person's life, headed uncontrollably towards the void of death... the water that hit the wall are all those lives that are deathly ill for most of their life until it gets better... the one thing common here is death... death is unavoidable... unstopable... uncontrolable... we are all slowly dying...
--------------------------------------------------
I am in such a morbid state right now...

[SirSnake]
