(but you can still submit!)
If this thread gets popular, then maybe the winner could get a merit. The deadline will usually be on friday, which in tis case is April 6th This weeks winner, will have the opportunity to be a judge. If they do not want to, then I will ask second place, and ect. Start posting your poetry!
Thank you for someone who agrees... I was fretting over it, but three counters, ones from US servers too(thanks firefox add-ons)say it is 3 so I went with them... As for the poem, did you like it?
Every morning I wake and do it I know I must stop but I can't Life is hard, *sniff* I feel great! But as the day moves on greatness turns to hate I'm on a bus No one near. I *sniff* Ahhhhh.
This is very hard! Well at least for me, I must have my brain set for sets of 7 and 5 syllables, because unconsciously every line I came up with originally would have 5 or 7 xD great contest
Where in this maze of lies do you hide? I cannot see your face as I did Once long ago. Before this Terrible yearning took Hold of who I am. Tears stream down now. I am the Lord of Pain.
I'm so afraid that this is only The beginning of something huge. The first time it felt so good The other times it hurt. Whispering to me The voice of pain; Addiction Is her Name.
Addiction, it's my horrible curse. Before it ends it will get worse. But it hurts more than a knife, More pain would take my life. So the only cure, I can't endure, It's pointless, Why try? Bye.
When the sun comes up, its always there. It stares at me and i look back, i will not do it, i swear. Get back on the right track. Do not pick it up, I always think. Look Deep, Deep.
