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!
She walks down the hall, eyes open wide Moving her head side to side Watching, waiting, hoping in vain Then as expected, in a flash A hand pushed her books form her hands They tumble to the floor, and land with a thump They laughter behind her, goes louder each day But her mind blocks it out and Her thoughts pull her away Everyday is the same, no different, no change The only think that keeps her, from going insane Is the dream she hides away, unseen The bullies walk away, moving on to other games A single tear runs down her cheek Her thoughts swirl inside her head Why me, not them? Why do they cause me such dread? She lets her thoughts change to The things she must do that day She walks into class, and sees the bullies snicker Something inside her breaks The only thing that was keeping her at bay She raises her fist and say "hay, don't just sit there Lets play" the mock in her voice was clearly heard And the others were silence by the change in her Then one got up and laughed an said "You don't have a chance" The girl just smiled, she saw the fear in the other girls eyes The same thing that she used to see, When she looked in the mirror everyday. Suddenly the teacher came, She screeched, yelled, scream The girls both stopped, dropped the evil gaze And both walked away. Nothing happened on that day That would seem to change anything But sense that day, she never again Was bothered by them See its not that she was stronger, or that she was even taller It was that she had courage, to stand up and fight Most bullies at school want an easy victim But if you show them you're mind is strong, and your not afraid Then they wont bother, to bug you every day Remember these words, keep them in mind Next time you hear nasty words from a peer.
Ok, thats mine, sorry if you find that it doesnt apply. Its just my thoughts in poem form.... And sorry this is the real one not messed up, this is the one i want you to judge.
It is the first day of school I don't know why they are so cruel They bring us back, year after year Sometimes they drag us by ear
We sit in our classes, good as can be What does it get us? More words to see The bell rings, on to the next class I hope you studied, we might not pass
It's time for our lunch We all sit in a bunch They serve us this slop It makes me want to plop It looks like moldy cheese Don't make me eat it, please!
On to 5th hour This class is quite sour They make us take note after note We take enough notes to sink a boat This good go on and on The bell rings like a gong!
I've got two periods to go Oh boy! It looks like it might snow I'll go home and grab my sled Then my mom will whack me, square on the head
Yes! School is out! It makes me want to scream and shout! Woo-hoo! Alright! You comin' to my house tonight?
I got home and played with glee Now I have homework, Oh gee Off to bed Lay down my head Only to start over the next day

Default is a week ending on Saturday.
A Kinder Garden for the Mind
Listen here as I tell you, Son About the time when school was fun: The day was filled with fun and play And that was what we did all day.
We made our friends, we got along. No one ever was really wrong And if we'd ever have a fight, In the end we'd make it all right.
They'd hang our art upon the wall, The good and bad, but best of all, They'd hand out snacks to eat in class. Then we'd go out, play on the grass.
They're the best days there are, Son. Such days were filled with play and fun 'fore the days they make you smarten. You'll have fun in Kindergarten.
