A good theme would be. . .life.

A good theme would be. . .life.

I agree with this, it has my vote.

2 votes for life, 1 for valhalla.

Well I don't know if we have done life before, I dont think so. I like life, but i also think its a very broad topic. Which can be a good or bad thing. I'm still unsure what the theme should be. AHWWW being judge is HARD.
But I think this week the theme is....Life, sorry choazmachine. :) Maybe next week.

Life: Write about your life, your take on life, a life, how you should view life, ect....

I was skeptical about placing, due to the shortness of my poem

A poem is not judge by length, its judged by how good the words were how they flowed, the rhythm of the poem and how it creates a picture.

And choazmachine don't for get to post your poem Here and to tell ubertuna, so he can give you the merit.

How about life as a dog. I guess someone thought "Whut?" on my poem. But at least I got an award!

Life would be a giant of a topic. The judge would have a hard time deciding due to the wide variation. How about a smaller topic encompassed in life. Like the life of a specific person, your life etc.

Life is a broad topic, but I think I can handle it. As long as everyone promises to not get mad over my choice :)

Life is a very broad topic ... however, people put their own spin on how they view life ... below is a poem about how society as a whole treats this earth and allows life, as we know it, to eventually become non-existent.

Guides of Superfluity

Heathens of this Earth, are we
Gluttons of our destiny.
On this planet we claim ours
Entombed in self pomposity

Heretics of our air, are we
Wallower's in impurity,
Rolling reserves into plumes
Enshrined in our toxicity

Apostates of our ground, are we
Vectors of impiety,
Bartering for groves of wood
Embalmed by our voracity

Traitors to the herds, are we
Hosts to impropriety,
Pulverizing habitats
Cremated by rapacity

Heathens of this Earth, are we
Guides of superfluity
Neglecting this eclectic world,
Excluding earth's pure sovereignty

(i got a A for using this)

i feel trapped and sad
i here voices they are mad
but now there is light
a hope to escape to the light

i can see the door
but im lying on the floor
im dragged down
i must not put on a frown

im like the titanic
but i must tell my self not to painc
i must jump across the gap
but i cant fall to the trap

im traped like a bug
im stuck but i must tug
tug on the ropes
for i still have high hopes

i may fly
or i may die
but i must get to the door
to go for
the light
and survive the fight

So bascically it's a few haikus?
Can it be funny or does it have to be serious?
And is their a main topic?

Can we get back on topic here....Ok, so we need a theme. At the moment it is up in the air and no one knows what they are meant to be doing. I didn't even know the contest had finished.

It is obvious that a mod hasn't looked at this thread in a while...since the name hasn't been changed, and since it is 2 days after the judging that is reasonably bad. Maybe not so much on their part, but more on Adrecka (not being mean, just pointing it out) for not notifying them.

Just so you know, I am not trying to be mean to anyone, but I came to this thread thinking I could still enter for rain, but that contest had already finished and I didnt know about it.

Ok, so we need a new theme. Instead of bickering like a flock of seagulls about what it is going to be, lets just decide.

The theme Life seems to be good enough for this. A few people seem to be in support of it, so lets just set it as that. If you don't like it then bad luck.

Adrecka, maybe decide on the theme at the end of the judging next time, just to make things easier.

So...

Theme: Life
Deadline: Is the 22nd of May ok? That's just over a week.
Judge: Adrecka

I hope I haven't sounded too much like I was modacting...but something had to be done. If anyone has any complaints about what I have done, please send me a comment on my profile.
