The Map to Perfection
By: flip_pride
The map to perfection is hard to find,
Once found it is hard to read
It is ciphered
Crinkled
Torn
Stained
And the spot with which the end is to be is blurred
It has been folded over times too many
The one to last have it
Is long gone by now
For it has not been seen
Since the time of the golden age
And even then, not one perfect man nor woman
Lived on this Earth

I've asked Nichodemus to judge this round, and any rounds after it. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding the change of management, take it up with him.
So I think I go down in history as having the shortest tenure as a judge for this contest.

And possibly the most ugly one too.

YO.
Why isn't there a due date in the title?
YO.
Just wondering....

There's no use in having a due date in the title if there's no due date to begin with.
The new theme will be 'Map to Perfection', due whenever enough poems have been submitted to make a worthwhile judging pool, or a significant amount of time lapses.
I think it's safe to say that this contest has grown too ambiguous for me to be a part of.

Mav has been hit by the life bug, leaving the space of judge for me temporarily. Which I can't hold as well, seeing I'm busy too.
So would anyone kindly volunteer? Or we can wait till either he or I is free enough to judge.

I can judge it! Seeing as there are only three entries(?), I don't think my lack of experience should be an issue!

Sure, but best to wait for more entries to come. Thanks mate.

Kind cartographer,
Is it perfection you seek?
Does it not faze you?
You cannot seize the future
And document it
Without dire consequences.
Take the light, you may.
You cannot map the darkness
Or the truth within.
May you map what lies beneath?
I answer you nay.
Time itself, for what it seems,
Is concrete as sand
You may try and capture it
By prehending it
Or catching it in a jar
Or bottling it up
If you are daring enough
But try and map it
You may as well have a gun
Pointed to your skull.

Sounds good! I think I'll wait for two more entries before I judge... unless that seems like too few?

Now that the judging scheme is one step closer to being concrete, I think I may submit something within the next few days, depending on how creative I'm feeling.
