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 three entries? I'm disappointed. Well I hope we get more before midnight EST. That's the deadline.

Imperfect Illusions

Blind Happiness.
Crippled Will.
Ignorant Paradise.

Utopian Hell,
Knowledge for happiness.
One mistake, salvation?

Fall into imperfection,
Awareness of truth
Agony and Sorrow experienced.

Yet, life is true.
Worth living.
A life complete.


Sorry about the delay, AG was being difficult with me.

Woo! Four entries. That's better than three. Hopefully we'll get more the next time. NaNo should be done by then.

Wait, I thought last night midnight was the deadline. Also, sorry I let me rephrase that. NaNo will be finished by the time the next poetry contest is done.

^ This.

Besides exams are far more important than poetry contests.

*sighs* okay so I'm once more swamped, and I apologize. I'm going to ask Fallen to judge again. If he can't then I will try my best to find time.
