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!

Didn't I read in a post somewhere that judging would be on the 22nd?
If I am mistaken, I apologize ahead of time.

My judging is always on time!


But like I say it doesn't matter if it gets done yesterday, today or tommorow. It doesn't affect my life higely (ok it does a little)

Its on page 104, you said:

Btw, the judging will be punctual...or at least almost right? Unless something unexpected crops up...


And adrecka said:

My judging is always on time! Or at least I try too. But yes it will. And speaking of that, you guys only have 2 days left and we need a lot more entrees.


Maybe there aren't enough entrees...

You must have a strange idea of who I am if ya think I'd look for a quote like that. I'm not some quote0mad-monster.... oh wait yes I am. lol

WHEW! I thought I was seeing things ... anyway, there were quite a few entrees ..they were just mingled with a bunch of posts that weren't poems. That might be the problem; Adreka is probably having a little bit of a hard time inspecting all the post to look for the poems.

Not many pages to skim through though. About 8 of them. They're just hiding like rabbits in their little burrows.

"Exams today
I hate thee
Now go away
Let me free"

Poetry fail (c) me. I highly doubt anyone would care to take the honour of that, though....

Lol what a wonderful poem Cen!
Has your mind got round the bend?
Now I have nothing more to say,
Why don;t I call it a day?

There once was a man named Cenny,
He had a house, not one but many.
He went on AG,
And ate a pea.
Then looked at the floor and found a penny.

See rhymy-ness
