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!
Dragging days, vision haze, Mortal phase, nothing stays or does it? Cattle graze, fields ablaze, I've found a way to light this maze, what was it? Because it seems that I can't see, Or light this path that leads to my dreams, I wonder if I should accept, That these desires will not be met. To walk outside these prison walls, To break free of these dreary halls, To bleed myself with these leeches, And rid me of these mundane speeches. Time has taught me, It only stays when I say, I'll watch it go and I'm okay.
Life is harsh and cruelly unfair, but most people go on without a care. As my life continues I look around, and see everyone else in my huge town. Many seem sad or depressed other happy and obsessed. That's just what I see not how they feel, for everyone knows that's not what's real Inside their hearts may be crushed, or filled with raged and a dangerous lust. As for me I look pretty glad, But I've always got reasons to be mad. -phsycomonkey yea it stinks XD
I know I can't win two times in a row but what the hell, I'll right anyway!
La Vida
Tropical forests. They get cut down. The fish at sea. Are no longer being found. The small red fox. Is now stuffed and in a house. The giant elephants, now a fairy tale that we say to our kids. The rivers run green and brown, Where pollution and radiation are found. Nuclear bombs and warfare, Tear apart this planet. Where is all the life? It must have been taken away. But do we realize what we've done? To this beautiful planet that we live on? Or is life meaningless now, and life is now fiction. We need to live our lives and live or life. Or like the spanish like to say: La Vida.
It is good if you have Carlie looking out for it. But I agree, a lot of the Mod's are really hard to contact these days. Maybe they need at least one more, maybe just for the forums.
But the title is still Rain.... It is good if you have Carlie looking out for it. But I agree, a lot of the Mod's are really hard to contact these days. Maybe they need at least one more, maybe just for the forums.
They're away to deal with 'real-life' issues. As far as I know, Strop's tied down with a musical for a couple more days.
Aaaand... I have no made the announcement in the announcement board... Just a tad late, but it is hard to keep up, when... I am not really interested. Anyway, just a second, then the theme will change. I hope.
Yup. (I feel like an unofficial mod. I have title change powers!!)
And random: Dryp dryp dryp si'r det udenfor Dryp dryp dryp si'r det udenfor Dryp dryp dryp si'r det udenfor Dryp dryp dryp si'r det udenfor ... Just five minutes in a car with that constantly sounding and you will hate rain> >... And your siblings... And being stuck in a car for an hour with your siblings while raining...
