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!
Rock music blasting throughout my ears, Listening to it every single day, It's becoming an obsession, Can not live without it, Music is a must, Dancing to it Head banging, Wanting Music.
Strategic, if you need someone else to judge, I'd be happy to do it. Also, I agree with Jezz's statement, postponing judging will severely impact the popularity of the contest.
I'm guessing Tuesday - Friday of this week. And that's really really late. I don't think this thread will live if the judging is always going to be so late.
Ok sorry the judging was put off a little late, I apologize. Anyway....
Third place goes to... waluigi!
The constant want for that evil thing its kept me in its grip for long still, I want to break away. But it keeps me chained holds me back captive me Great poem, you really grasped the theme.
Second place goes to.... wolf1991!
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. Great poem. You really got down to the meaning and you did it beautifully.
And first place goes to... jezz!
[i]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.[i] It just flowed off my tongue when I was reading it, and the rhyme at the end was excellent!
[b]If first place and second place want to assist me in judging, (three judges) then please post so. The next judging will go like this.. 1)Each judge will choose their favorite three poems. 2) First place gets 3 points, second place gets 2 points, and third gets 1 point. 3)The points will add up and the superior top three will be crowned. Kapeesh?
Congrats jezz, wolf and waluigi once again. The judging was difficult, all of the entries were fabulous.
I'm going to request you give more thorough feed back on what you liked or didn't like about the poems. Your three comments to the top three poems are all very similar, makes me feel as if any of them could have been 1st, 2nd, 3rd and you just picked an order.
I'm just giving some adivce. People enjoy feedback. It helps them improve.
The first line just popped into my head when I saw the word joy. Freaky.
Your smiling face is my only bliss. Your heart is my secret treasure. A grin from you lights my world. As long as I'm with you, Nothing can hurt me. And I will smile, I will laugh. You're my joy.
My divine love, you're my only fault. Your smile brings warmth to my fair soul, Your laughter lights up my eyes. I am in love with you, Don't ever leave me. For if you left, My eyes would Lose their Joy.
