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!

Scratch my prior piece. This is the same message, but a different tune I guess.

Taking the Stage, Sonata #5

Baby, don't you love me?
Darling, please don't hurt me.
Honey, you can't leave me!
Still you just turn and walk away...

-----

It's allright, I'm ok.
I don't need you any way!
It's not like it was love.

Don't worry, I'll be fine.
All of my friends are around!
You won't even be missed.

Well, I'll prob'bly feel fine in awhile.
Well, I'll prob'bly forget about her.
Well, I'll prob'bly move on in a bit.
But when?

-----

Oh my God, what is this?
Why are you angry with me?
For was I not faithful?

Oh my God, how could you?
How could you let my love end,
And take her from my arms?

Well, how long must you punish me?
Well, how long must I deal with this?
Well, how long must pay I for it?
For her?

-----

Listen now, hear me out.
Listen to what I propose;
I promise that it's good.

Oh don't go, please don't go!
Why must you cast me away?
Why cant we just be friends?

Well, I thought that she'd see I'd changed.
Well, I thought I could buy my way back.
Well, I thought she could never say no.
To me.

-----

It's over, it is done.
I will never love again!
For she's ruined it all.

Misery, how I cry!
I can never move along!
So I guess it's the end.

Well, never again will I smile.
Well, never will the sun shine down.
Well, 'Never!' says my breaking heart!
To her.

-----

Have no fear, I'll move on!
Even though the pain lingers.
But I'll still think of you.

Watch me leave, watch me go!
And head out all on my own!
Though you'll still walk with me.

Well, all good things must come to a close.
Well, all good things taste so bittersweet.
Well, all good things float off on the breeze.
Away.

-----

Slowly, I will go on.
Kindly, comfort whispers.
Fin'ly, I'll have closure.
And then I'll turn and walk away.

I Need Sleep
A Sonnetina

If I could write the weariness I feel
Into a blur of mishing-mashing lines,
I could not hope to separate the real
From floaters in my slowly fading eyes.
My arms are weak, my muscles fully slack
With profound numbness past that feeling point
Where consciousness begins. In holding back
No healing comes to brains spilled, out of joint.
Though all my matter raves delirious,
My mind is all the more imperious.

Caressing her sculpted curves 
Laughter tinkling with silvery mirth,
As she coyly and softy murmurs, 
Sweet nothings in hushed whispers.

Dimmed the subtle romantic lights,
Sun's orange glow welcomes our Night,
And the curtains came running home,
Our loft bedecked with silk and chrome. 

Seductively stroked your cool neck, 
Quickly without decorum or tact,
Flung your thin drenched dress away,
Let the connoisseur have his way.

Kissing your sensual lips,
Not a protest, splendid dear,
As I tilted back and took a sip,
Of that heavenly cold beer!

Not bad, 6 poems already!

Sorry forgot the title. It's: "The Art of Love"

Sorry Wolf, not going to be available as a substitute judge due to life.

Freedom

My guiding light,
My protector,
My lover,
Mine.

Yet she is not,
Always running away.

The touch of her lips,
The scent of her hair,
The glimpse of her eyes,
The very existence,

Fleeting moments, always in sight,
Never in grasp.

I catch her hand,
I draw her close,
I capture her lips,
She spins away.

Once again gone, it matters not,
She'll always be mine.


Slightly edited, new entry.

Animation in a few simple Expression

The ignited wood is in ignition
Leading me to animation
Although it has a conclusion
Leading me to my inanimation
and I discren that my animation
Would be leading to my final destination
This is how we describe animation
In a few simple expression

Yet you allowed the other poetry contest to do the same....



up upon this grave
lie a man named dave
dave forgot to shave
so he craved and craved
for time to shave



his face was smooth and clean
intill he found a majic bean
the bean was thought of as a teen
a teen that really needed to clean
clean the house,'cuz he was mean



So this was the story of dave
the man who forgot to shave
we should all hope for dave
the mean teen who had to clean.....


To random to even......and horribly written......

It shines upon our rice
It smells gorgeously nice
I can devour it more than thrice
Till I have my head full of lice
It will be forever mine
And I can hear it twine
From a million miles
From the kitchen
It is the magnificent chicken
