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!
2 Days left, And not to many entries but really really good ones. So be sure the judging will happen this Wednesday on time. There is a few things I need to make sure of before the next judging and theme is announced. So hopefully everything will be cleared up by then.
Many great poets throughout history did not rhyme in their poems. Poems DO NOT have to rhyme nor do they always have to flow. I have known people who have been writing poetry for years and would not be able to write a poem like the one you did above. If this is your first poem, it looks like you may come by writing poetry naturally. I personally like it.
