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!
the fireworks come in every color if you eat when youre full it makes you fuller one of the fireworks hasnt gone off when I breathe smoke it makes me cough
they are very very very loud I have to wear earplugs and a shroud the sounds are very loud explosions precipitation can cause erosions
the fireworks are there you cant see them but theyre there which ruins the point of fireworks I think brad pitt is a real jerk
Adios and Crab, yes, we finally have enough submissions. But I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell me so. I can count, thank you very much.

The bells at midnight ring. Clang! The fire-works begin. Bang! Launched straight into the sky. Zoom! Exploding way up high. Boom! A bright and fiery flare. Flash! Combustion in the air. Crash! The whistle, pure and high. Whing! I watch the fireworks fly. Zing! The firework sound I fear. Pow! For it doth hurt my ear. Ow!

There in the sky. Up, there, flying high. Numerous pops and sizzles. Cause hops and giggles. They're fun in the day. Leaving an obstruct gay. At night the beauty is amazing. Whilst we are lazing. To one they might scare. But others can only stare. We look at the wondrous show. Knowing soon we'll have to go. Two times a year we get to shoot. Yet at the end of the season we get the boot. It was fun while it last. It went by quite fast.
