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).
Lord Mist: I've read the entire HP series a grand total of once.
Parsat: Let's take a look at what you said again, okay?
Strop: I see myself getting it in the mirror, what do I do...
I mean to say, maybe this is an even better quote than the one I've put in the other motivational. Maybe I should switch it...
Like this!
Ummm.....
???
This thing makes things go off,
and it does tell.
We always run out of it,
and it can make things smell.
This thing is in abundance,
Yet I am short of it.
I need more of it,
To write this poem I have now writ....
The end!
Lol...

Thy unknown to the mind,
nobody has answered if it is a kind.
I myself doesn't have a clue,
On the question marks what to do?
Is it a question or a clue,
I have no idea and that is true.
Is it for me or for you,
This isn't the time to argue.
It is a shirker roaming around,
on the streets all abound.
Every mind on the street merge,
on what to think on the verge.
These unknowns will soon be found,
but only time will tell when we are around.
These are the questions that had us marked,
and our only self can answer that question that made us harked.
-Raigeki.
hehehe this is my first time. i can try my poetic skills around.
Most of them are common herbs, except for maybe lovage, woodruff, and sorrel.Ya, I know! But since English is my second language and common herbs rarely come up in casual discussion, well... I'd need to look them up in a dictionary, and then possibly look them up again to find pictures... And I'm just too lazy for that...
Strop: Looks like I've been caught in a sticky situation.
(Perv-baiting is a real sport)
Ok guys, Deadline's up and here are the winners:
The grand prize of awesomeness place goes to Parsat, for "Intangibility"
Like a terrible beast
It passes by,
Unseen to all,
By none defied.
No man survives
From bottom to top.
No heroes of yore,
Not even Strop.
From small acorn
To branching oak,
Then back to ground,
Its terrible yoke.
Not even stone
With res'lute mind;
Inside its gorge
A river winds.
But with those sheltered
From its midst,
Intangibility
Still persists.
While we have love
Or legacies,
There will be things
It cannot seize."
Where has the thyme gone
It used to be in my garden
Like clover you I used to fawn
But love's seeds began to harden
Who did the rosemary now
I did not think I wanted it
Like I woodruff for the cow
But now there's not a bit
I know the savory is gone
I used it up two days ago
But the cress on the lawn
I should have let it grow
How did the sage disappear
It was here on the counter
Like when I had a fern here
But then I tried to mount her
I know that tarragon and why
I picked and planted it myself
Coriander left without a bye
But she'd be better by herself
Where has the thyme gone
It used to be in my garden
Like clover you I used to fawn
But love's seeds began to harden
Why is there sorrel there
Where a dead plant is lying
Like the daisy you were fair
But you are now a dandy
It passes unnoticed,
It flies quite well,
It cannot walk,
It does not ever dwell.
It drives long projects,
and it never stops,
Great people never think about it,
And neither does strop.
Kingryans a noob,
What does this have to do with it,
Its propaganda,
Chuck KR in a pit.
A theme souly name ???,
One riddle for all to guess,
It hails from the hobbit never affecting a dragon,
One big Bilbo all on a quest.
Lol at the theme.
And aw. Less detailed judging. But congrats, Parsat!
(Perv-baiting is a real sport)And a really fun one too.
I'd just like a better sense of why you chose the ones you did, what you thought made them stand out~ Just a bit of what lies behind your judging.
But I know how difficult it can be to come up with something...
On the Hunt
Or, Please Don't Ban Me, This Is Just For a Contest
This thing, it was so long and hard,
It forced itself midway;
I screamed and gasped for much more air
(Is this a porn cliche?)
It penetrated in the depths
Of an organ soft and pink,
It drove itself in all so hard
I really couldn't think.
It attacked me in from the front,
From sideways and the rear;
It came in flows and quickish spurts
(This is really getting queer).
Since you have fallen for my bait,
I really must explain
The "it" refers to this contest;
The "organ" is my brain.
I was quite strapped for good ideas
Until I wrote this down.
Hyperbole, yes, it's the friend
Of perv-hunters all around.
XD
Awesome Parsat!
I was wondering the whole way to the brain part, how you would save that from obscenity~
Not completely sure you have. :P
But that is lol worthy! X)
I have experience with this kind of hunting. I have plenty of heads mounted on my wall from the hunting grounds they call "high school."
Hey Parsat, you go hunting at school? Haha your main job is to bust heads, in the words of my friend James.
And I think I'm gonna give you a ban Parsat :P
.....okay maybe not haha.
