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 wonder if Strop will see it this time...

Waiting
Waiting for the
Water
Boiling water float over
Floating over leaves
Leaves from different plants
that gives off smell
No real taste
Just smell
Sweet
Remember the sugar
Always remember the
Sugar

Sitting by the warm,tolerant sea
The water winding between my toes
I wish I had a cup of tea
Little flys tickling my nose
All of my tea is gone
I drank it all
Now I am tired
I just yawned

Sorry guys...that was just me failing -_-

Okay, since I'm too tired to think of anything and this happened to be something I discussed today, I feel like nominating a nasty topic.

Consciousness

Off you go!

The theme "consciousness". Try looking the word up in a dictionary...try even describing what consciousness is. Try defining consciousness.

Hence the challenge of the theme. If one wants the ultimate poetic theme, I suggest they look here.

As King Friday XIII once sang:

Propel, propel, propel your craft,
Unforcefully down the liquid solution.
Ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically,
Existence is merely an illusion.

That should sum it up. Consciousness is such an ill-defined (read &quothilosphical&quot term, I'd be surprised if Strop could give a definition. It's like describing color to a person who can see. "Uh, blue is the color of the sky." He chose quite the nasty topic.

The perfect one, if you ask me. Writing about the abstract really is not hard, it's writing it well that is. No one can really contradict what you say about the abstract; you can supply your own definition.

The title will get changed when I do the judging, which will be as soon as I finish sorting out my notes for my big case presentation tomorrow...

My toes stink
My shoes are ripped
I can't think
My grandma cut her lip
My poem isn't good
I have to tell you
I don't think I should
Now you don't have a clue


LOL I made that!!!Isn't pretty good??
