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).
A poem after my own heart, Ernie! Chinese accent plus iambic pentameter had me laughing.
@Ernie, yours is great. The italian accent really shows, and it tells a great story.
You aren't the only one who asked to be judged. I looked back on your messenger and on here and Moat hasn't said anything, so you cant assume that.
Ernie15: Your poem made me laugh so hard! And now I'm hungry 'cause you talked about spaghetti.
Hello, this is Moat, and I bring good news
There's a new judge(though it twas hard to choose)
Okay, seriously, I'll stop rhyming now.
Drumroll, please?
*silence*
...drumroll is too much to ask?
Jonathan: Well...there's not really anyone who knows how to drum in here...
Fine! Drumroll with hands please?
*drumroll*
The new poetry judge is thisisnotanalt. But I am grateful to everybody who volunteered(as being judge is harder than it looks). Either way, we have our judge and-
*drumroll*
You can stop the drumroll now.
*pause*
That's better. Now, as I was saying-
*drumroll*
...
*DEAFENING DRUMROLL*
AS I WAS SAYING, NOW THAT WE HAVE OUR JUDGE(THISISNOTANALT) THE POETRY CONTEST CAN CONTINUE AS USUAL. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALT!
*drumroll stops*
*cheering, applause*
And...yeah, let the games continue. I just want to say that it was hard to choose and-
*cheering applause continues*
Yes, I know we're all happy that Alt is judge, but-
*DEAFENING APPLAUSE/CHEERING*
*Moat cheers*
*audience stops, stares*
*Moat clears throat* But as I was saying, we did have a lot of great people volunteer for the job. So...err...yeah, just carry on, I guess.
Woohoo, me be da judge. Deadline is the 9th, right? Ill have the verdict by the 9th or 10th.
Absolutely wonderful Alt, absolutely wonderful.....
Just a little queer the theme this time.
Never set a theme on an empty stomach. That's all the advice I have to give to you, alt.
Huwwo everybodeh, tiem to judge. This is my first judging in a while, so bear with me. I always offer a crit on all of the poems, as long as there aren't too many of them, lol. I'll post the winner and 2nd place, then all the runner-ups in no particular order.
Cheesemaker - Foreign foods
You come home from work,
Or maybe from school.
You want to eat something.
Something thats cool.
"Let's get some Chinese!"
"We can not, so-"
"Maybe Italian?"
"I just said no!"
Nobody lets you,
Eat what you want.
Not out of a bowl
Or even a pot.
You want some spaghetti,
meatballs, tomatos.
Or maybe some curry,
Dumplings, potatoes.
You'll eat with a knife,
a fork, or a spoon.
You'll learn to use chopsticks.
It's never too soon!
You want something foreign,
But still a bit changed.
You want it faster
than firstly arranged.
Italian's "slow food".
Chinese equals "fast food".
Fast is a plus,
Slow changes our mood...
You drive your car down the street
Hoped to spare your aching feet
Cook? Nah, you aren't in the mood
So let's get some foreign food!
Zeus's Grill has some real good Greek
Inspector found rats there; eek!
So Greek is out...how 'bout German?
No way; they too have vermin!
How 'bout a Japan dish?
No way, I won't eat raw fish!
All right, how about Chinese?
Okay! Let's get the cuisine
Chicken lo mein; noodles, too!
Ah, you're such a helpless dork:
can't use chopsticks? Take a fork!
Wait...is that an eyeball? EW!
Forget Chinese, that's just wrong
One second there was too long
But I do like Italian
Especially the bouillon
Too expensive; ninety bucks!
Forget it...this just plains sucks
Let's go home, and home we'll stay
I like good old PBJ
Eating all the delicious spices,
Pity they're such expensive prices.
The tomato sauce is perfect for me,
The epic noodles are the key.
Overall the meatballs are epic,
Once I'm done, the crumbs are microscopic.
lol @ M00CH. xD
Air
You cannot see it,
taste it,
but feel it.
As it bristles through the great willows.
Whispering your name.
It's impecable greateness,
fluid motions,
antiquity.
As it brings the sweet aromas of life.
Mocking you.
It holds what we breath,
it's something we never understood,
a force of nature,
strong, yet gentle,
right here right now.
Beneath the blossoms of the tree.
Living our last moments.
We breath it in.
