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!
Lucky with ladies this time Thought you'd fix up a rhyme But it's hard, as you learned, You crashed and you burned Just keep it cool When you put it on the paper Don't need to follow any rules When you've got on the right caper Keep your mind on the rhyme when you're revvin' And you can write for Brooke and Brenda '97.
Finally!!!!!! Many entrees but JereN your right, The amount of entrees should not affect the date.
brenda_1997 and brooke_1997 you both were really good. Friends i presume? Well you both have a unique still of writing both of which i like a lot. And Brooke there is no such thing as to long a poem (Ok maybe there is, but yours wasn't)
LufffiStudios your really stood out to me too. I guess you'll all have to wait for judging to find out.
But if you guys don't want me moving the date, I will have to judge it June 5 at night around 7 or 8 my time. Or the night before.
Adrecka, can I ask you to give a the link to the judging, when you are done? Would make my job a little easier, and I can poke Strop or Zophia to change the title, as well?
Your love for me is like the summer breeze Every little time we spend together, It makes my heart unfreeze. I dearly wish it lasts forever,
Alas the seasons don't really stay Just like Frost's First Gold. Fall decides come and summer walks away, As the fates themselves foretold.
Each step I take away from you It gets harder day-by-day. My heavy heartache accrues, As I walk down that highway.
Winter comes and I'm so cold, Your warmth is not in place. I earn for what you withhold And that warm embrace.
I grow emaciated without your presence, The cold winter wind snuffs my yearning. I hope you fare well in my absence, We can only hope as time keeps turning.
When world wakes from its winter slumber I shall see you once more. No more shall the distance cumber, And no more shall I be rancor.
Spring is a time of rebirth As we embrace once more. The air fills with mirth again, Just like from day of yore.
