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!
Just wanted to give everybody a heads up that I'm back, and sooner than I expected. I should be able to resume my duties as judge of the poetry contest as soon as Carlie gets a chance to bump me back up to moderator status. In the mean time, I'm going to read through what all of you have been writing lately. I'm excited to see what kind of poems you have been busy with.
Welcome back Ubertuna! If you want you can judge this weeks winners. I was going to judge last night but I was busy and I have not started quite yet. x.x
No, not failed. It's not bad; it could use some polish, particularly with some excess words that could have been cut out, but it wasn't a fail at all. The meter could have been worked on as well; it was not that rhythmic when I read it out loud.
Lol...I couldn't really be bothered writing it too well...When I wrote it wasn't in a good mood...so it was hard to write something that conformed the the theme...
It is good, and creates a subtle image. . .a great one, yet a bit too faint. . .but it's beautiful in an unnerving type of way. . .beingf that seems to be about someone walking to another's house to murder the other person. . .making it beautiful in a grim sort of way.
