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!
Postscripts: Sorry uber, writing poetry on teh internetz is srs biznis.
And everybody, I did intend the theme to be the answer to the riddle I posted. And if you remember correctly, there was definitely an answer to that riddle that saved Bilbo's life!
Quintessential memories of doing absolutely nothing productive for the win. I didn't realize I've pretty much placed top three most of the time while Strop was judging. But I've only won three times since the start of the Contest. I'm sure there must be someone else who's won that many times already.
Conclusion: Strop=Gantic. hahahaha
Srsly? Since Strop's not judging, does that mean he will enter the next one?
Ok, for the riddle, I am kind of wondering what it could be. And I know you can't tell me, so what page is it from your source? For I have the book and would be more then happy to know what page it's on, but I can't find that riddle. And I don't feel like reading the whole book again.
A little along the lines of what I thought to write, except I generally choose to be just a little less optimistic. After all, is it a hope, or is it an exercise in futility? Maybe you should decide for yourself!
I don't know why I wrote an optimistic poem, that's pretty rare for me considering I'm very pessimistic. I assume it was because I was tired and hungry. lol
Of course this riddle has to be taken from my favorite book! This is my turf, I shall win! Surprisingly I didn't even place haha, but I shall turn a new leaf! And I'll bet you money that everyone Googled this ^.^ I already knew the answer from reading "The Hobbit," say 20 times :P
