First, I will post the overall rules, and then I will post the specifics about this week.

Original rules, as stated by Ubertuna:

It must fit the week's theme.
It must be submitted by the deadline.
It cannot have inappropriate language in it.
It cannot be stolen (if you plagiarize, we will find you).


Also:

The poem must be created for this contest
A user cannot win two weeks in a row (though everyone is welcome to submit every week!)
Only one submission per user will be accepted

As we all know, the winner will recieve a merit, and their poem will be featured on the _Poetry_ page.


OK, on to this week's topic...Again, we are having a style instead of a theme. Also, this week we are having TWO WEEKS to do it, instead of the usual one. Why? Because this will be an EPIC poem. Or, rather, a parody of an epic poem. Generally, epic poetry is very long, and tells the serious story of a heroic figure. Well, this week, the epic figure is YOU! Write a long poem (I'll leave the definition of 'long' up to you, but give it a good go) about the heroic story of you! It can be silly, serious, whatever... just have fun with it. You have two weeks, so have a great time!

It seems so. It was because it didn't fit the theme.

I think this is partly inspired by the camping trips my family would make to the Green Mountains in Vermont. Also, I have felt in a "green", happy mood if you know what I mean.

Big Hill

We wind through the hills,
Toward the great trees.
We pass farm and mills,
In the tunnel of leaves.
Birds chirp busily,
Pecking for seeds.
I worry barely,
With no cares or needs.

We climb the long road,
Many trials ahead.
In adventure mode,
Keep up your head.
We've long left the fields,
And the soft mossy beds.
Secrets are concealed,
Under dirt beneath my legs.

As we climb the flat, broad summit,
Everything looks still.
When I feel as if I'll plummet,
Mine eyes, with tears, are filled.
I soak up nostalgia and sun,
Depression is now nill.
Rememb'ring childhood and fun,
Up here, on my great Big Hill.

Trapped inside this small little town
Surrounded by
Walls that cant come down.
Freedom to high to reach
Just behind the looming gates
Still no part can be breached
No seems or cracks or any breaks
There is just no way to escape
I'll die in here for goodness sakes
These walls that surround me
Are the mountains of Kindale.

Wow, I just came up with this one right here on the spot. Enjoy.

--------

Sitting opon the mountain top
Feeling the breeze blow up
Watching the trees sway in the breeze
Listening to nature hidden in the bushes

I like trips up to the mountain
It helps me relax after a day
Of hard work, it rejuvinates me
It can do wonders on the mind and soul

Breathing the fresh air
Feeling the leaves, seeing the animals
It can cure anything
This is nature's cure for anything

Wow, I just came up with that one right here on the spot. Enjoy.

The stairs to heaven.

I have always thought good answers
Why people go to heaven
Maybe a new question in mind
And it's probably
A "how to find".

I Had answers,
guesses and more.
Thoughts...

It has to be mountains.
How elegant they are
White with the snow
How high and far
That could be a stairway

Snow is white,
heave seemed white,
in my head.
heaven had seemed white too.

I look in the sky and pray,
hoping someday my way to heaven
Is through the mountain,
The stairs to heaven.
