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!

Welcome back ubertuna.


Life is a meaningless dream
You can yell and you can scream
But no one ever hears your cries
No one brings light to the lies
You can bang your fists on the door
But there's nothing there, nothing more
God won't let you out of this prison
Until you doubt your own decisions
You shall trust in his mighty power
And to his figure you will cower


This is Armageddon

Lynoth: There are some solid rhymes, but the meter doesn't have that full strength that it could have. It would make a fantastic song though.

So does that mean it'll be judged by the end of the weekend?

As usual, all of us must spam Noname or Ubertuna's comments like a zombie horde of poetry writers demanding the judging to take place.

Hope ubertuna or Noname brought their shotties with them, cause there's going to be a few zombies at their doorsteps.
