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!
@fyre, your poem is good but has some flow problems. The first line has too many syllables in it, and somewhat mars the rhythm of the stanza. Also, it would be "wander" on the first line, not "wonder." But, still a good poem.

Eh, but like I said it is my first time experimenting with a poetry. So, I appreciate your feedback.
Your welcome. Anytime you need to get some perspective on a poem, then really most of the contestants here in the poetry contest are good go-to people.
O.K. No need to scream. Mokomonkey I thought the poem was good it flowed well and it had good sensory details. I also liked that you didn't use sight, even though that is one of our main senses for describing surroundings, you made it work nicely. And you focused on the sound of things which most people only mention a little bit in their poems. All and all i give it a 9/10 because i like longer poems but that's just me.
Thank you guys, and I don't mind that you spell my name wrong everyone does. And Thisisnotanalt, If you are referring to your poem, I really liked it. I agree it had some great vocabulary. But what i like the most was that you could make a great poem and still make it funny with out going over board *She points to Last line of your poem*, You also had great metaphors which really add a lot of class to the poem.The only thing is that some sentences should be capitalized, but I am not big on spelling and grammer anyway.
