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!

I am glad Parsat saved the day, not only does he make a very fine judge but I was waiting for a chance to enter this competition again.

I hope 'Full Moon' will stay as the next theme or my poem is useless!

When the light of day grows thin,
When skies of grey encompass us,
We hear the siren calling,
He can't ignore her calling,

Always singing,
Softly singing,
Gently singing.

Milky pale,
And comforting.
Cautious, cold,
But comforting.
Strongest of them all,
The full moon has come for him.

Cradling rotating Earth,
Supervising day's rebirth,
He has moons for eyes,
We can see he's mesmerised.

By her singing,
Always singing,
Softly singing,
Gently singing.

Milky pale,
And comforting.
Cautious, cold,
But comforting.
Strongest of them all,
The full moon has come for him.

Here we go!

At dusk she wakes,
at dawn she sleeps.
Stalker of the night,
as pale as a sheet.

Comfort to some,
terror to others.
Worshiped by one,
feared by another.

Lady of the dark,
sometimes so shy.
Luna is her name,
the traveler on the sky.

It's kind of a recent bug I noticed. Sometimes your post won't show up immediately...just have to wait and hope for the best.

After making a post you'll need to hold CTRL and hit F5. The page will do a hard refresh, thus showing all posts made since you last refreshed. It works on the community page too, so you won't have to wait to see what threads are active and which ones aren't.

SOMETIMES

Sometimes there,
Sometimes not,
The Earth you revolve,
never appearing the same,
Sometimes there,
Sometimes not,
You can entrigue anybody,
your majesticness, you show off,
Full Moon, Full Moon,
How i wish i could own you,
But nobody ever will,
what a thrill you could be,
if only you were colonized,
yet, never will that happen,

Sometimes there,
Sometimes not.

[b]Trip the Light Fantastic

Watch how she circles the Earth, alone.
"A hard unforgiving rock of stone,
Is all she is." Say the men of science.
Using their learning to force our compliance.

But somewhere up there in the dead of space,
As she completes her 'thereal race,
I know that something within her breast,
Must bid her move forward without a rest.

Could it be love?

But who would match her eternal march
Across the sky? Would loneliness parch
The waters of her majestic grace?
Still, she travels 'round Sol in her race.

But what, then, would give her cause to hide?
For monthly she narrows at the side.
But what, then, bids her to come return?
If heaven has not deemed her fit to spurn?

Could it be love?

Could it be love?

Moon of Black

Full moon rises!
The world cries,cries...

Demons in white gloves!
You seen nothing,nothing,...

Knives hot blood spill!
No one stands ,stands...

Gun blazes,bullet flies!
No one survives,survives...

Things blink,BOOMSIES!
Justice dies,dies...

Nâoffer you not refuse!
Father you rule, you rule...

Smoke, heaven comes!
No one stops,stopsâ¦

Corrupt this black world is!
No hope remains,remains...

The moon will fall,fall...
They die all,all...

The night ends,ends...
The world shines,shines...

Here is something silly. If I have time I'll make a better one.

I am what they want me to be,
A figurative white page,
They could need a source of light
And I'd steal my brother's rays.

Or sometimes in me they see
A face that's looking down,
My face, that is, eyes opened wide,
Mouth twisted in a frown.

On other days they do insist,
A woman's on my skin,
Trapped up high in my domain,
Punishment for her sins.

They have declared me magical,
A source of mystery,
Turning men into gray wolves,
On some shadowy eve.

If they wish me to captivate,
I'll readily comply,
Inspiring men to create art,
Eyes fixated on the sky.

They choose to honor me once a year,
Baking themselves cakes to eat.
Though I work so very hard for them,
I've never once received a treat.

For though I try my very best
To please them as I pass,
My brother always comes first, it's true
That nice guys finish last.

as the huge cheese floats
it swims in a blue moat

filled with unknown
great white toned cheese

the moon the big big moon!
it looks like a cookie!

creamy tasting
but really hard!
