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).
Oh and the ending date is... June, 15th. Tell me if you think it should be long.
Kingryan: Jupiter obviously, with the moon of two vowels being Io.
I already guessed alt's on DevArt correctly, but I'd rather keep it a surprise here at the moment.
Mine was painfully obvious, but I was doing it more for the poetry anyway. If anyone can guess the significance of the epigram, though, that'll be my challenge.

Planets
Eight planets
Right now there be.
Goddess of beauty,
God of the sea.
A lover of war,
A likeness to Thor.
A milky tan color
Wraps the god of agriculture.
A messenger,
The king of trade.
Off to deliver a message,
Goodbye he bade.
In this line of Romans
A Greek will stand.
Maybe quite lopsidedly so,
But he shall stand.
Although a dwarf,
He deserves some mention.
Planet status arguments,
There was much tension.
And finally came life.
A vast, glorious land.
And before you knew it,
The planet was manned.
I didn't really want to do the riddle-play for a particular planet, so I just did a small easy, easy one for each.
HAY I actually remembered it was today, I might actually get it judged on time YAh.
Ok, everyone here we go again (and again) its funny how fast it creeps up on you. Anyway there was a lot of good entries but not many, I suppose that was my fault because I picked the topic. I am still not sure of the topic yet, I will tell you what it is later today. But anyway
The winner is: JereN
Yes I said JereN
Between
Between the planets I float,
with only my suit and no star boat.
The strong radiations from the sun,
are the most perfect way to stun.
The emptiness of space has one bad thing,
your screams will not be heard by any living thing.
Yet this is the place where all of us will end,
and we ourselves will us there send.
Alone in this place all must be,
no home nor loved ones for us to see.
This is our place and there's no coming back,
because we did not respect the natures pact.
Peace and harmony we will not see,
only pain and torment for us there will be.
This is the cause of our creed and selfishness,
and because we lack the empathy and goodness.
So as long as we continue to live this way,
the empty space between us will stay.
As long as we don't give the sacred oath,
between the planets we must float.
By what measurement do you entail,
charged gas, an energy trail.
One large planet embattled with a moon
unbeknown to us, the energy a great boon
Chilling storm rages
throughout the ages
surrounded by sentry, weary guard
broken by not mace or fauchard.
a jealous accessory bestowed
less grand, unknown
what one doesn't know can't hurt
yet still offers no comfort
a clash with a cobbler, many years ago
has left it bruised, less worse for wear although
king of the copycats, it's namesake from
I bet not knowing what I'm talking about makes you feel dumb
So now, I ask
decode this cryptic message, and in eternal light you'll bask!

I jumped from planet to planet,
Searching for the sun.
Sadly, I was blind,
And couldn't see what I'd done.
All the spheres I'd stepped on
Were now riddled with holes.
Millions of lifeforms, squashed,
Down to the tiniest soul.
I am starting to learn, I think that until 2058 I will be almost good as William Blake.
Plus it had a good rhythm and flow, the words came smoothly even though you used some big words.
Well, If you dont like my judging i would be more then happy to let someone else judge. I miss writing poems, for this, and judging is not fun when people constently complain about when, why i chose that person, why i didnt metion them and so on... I will continue to do it as long as is needed though.
