VALEDICO'S POETRY CONTEST: PART TWO

    CAPS LOCK FOR EXCITEMENT! YES!

    So this is Christmas! I hope you're all feeling festive! Because it is indeed Christmas this week, I'm gonna give you longer to get these poems in so this round will finish 11:00 British time on Sunday, which is of course, Boxing Day!

    5 BONUS POINTS for whoever hands in first, but you MUST tell me what option you've picked first.

    --

    This round is a multiple choice round -- eleven poets remain and four will leave us after this challenge is over. There are three choices. A maximum of four poets can choose each option to save us from having a lot of similar poems! Got that? Message me what option you are choosing and I'll tick 'em off!
    Okay.

    OPTION 1:
    Think of the one PERSON in your life who has truly stood out to you; who has mattered to you more than anyone; who has altered your life in such a profound way. Write a poem commemorating this person. Any style or form that you like. This will test your ability to write about someone close to you but be able to communicate it to the readers and the judges.
    (4)

    OPTION 2:
    Write a poem about a PLACE that has stuck with you; that is dear to you. This could be home, or somewhere you visited, or even somewhere you dreamt about but has particular meaning to you as a person/poet. This will test you ability to write about a place without using boring adjectives and simple subjective language.
    (4)

    OPTION 3:
    Write a poem about a POET that means a lot to you. I feel this is the most difficult option because it challenges you to pay homage to another's words. You may use quotes from this poet, you may even make up a scenario in which you meet this poet. This will test your ability as a poet to pay homage to someone who inspired you.
    (4)

    Sound good? You ready? Good! Because I'm not finished yet. :P

    -----------------

    If you are a poet and looking to be part of this contest then I'm giving ONE PERSON on this site a chance to enter late. Even if you were kicked out of the last round, anyone who wants to join, you must write me a poem about Christmas under 75 words and whichever I think is the best will be able to join and take part in this round with the same deadlines as everyone else. Of course, the penalty being that you will have whatever option's left and a shorter time to write it.

    That's all for now.

    Peas and loves.

    That was too easy. Where's the chase? I wanted to enjoy the chase! Oh well, I'm just so relieved you said yes.

  • The Prince
    13 years ago

    Oh, I wasn't saying yes to marriage. I was saying 'sounds good' to you showing me your cooking skills.

  • silvershoes
    13 years ago

    Fine, I didn't want to marry you anyway! It was a pity offer!

    :) Sure, I'll cook for ya but you'd have better luck getting a delicious meal from Hellon. She's the food master.

  • sibyllene
    13 years ago

    It's true. She'll serve up a haggis like nobody's biznass.

    (And in her homeland, "haggis" is a euphemism. You know.)

  • Sunshine
    13 years ago

    JANE; just because I said he will be a good father; you decided to marry Danny; OR you had it in mind huh huh admit :P

    >Now if Danny suddenly turns to be a big fat head; you all guys know why.

    eh

  • The Prince
    13 years ago

    I've already got a fat head - can't you see from my picture?

  • Sunshine
    13 years ago

    HAHAA -omg why so humble ?!
    :P

    Big Head**-_-

  • silvershoes
    13 years ago

    Danny's hot and we all know it, including him. Accept it.

    Nana, you telling me Danny would make a good father was definitely the reason I made a marriage proposal.
    I demand 1,000 babies by the end of the week.

    Goodnight.

  • Sunshine
    13 years ago

    OMG 1,000 :O :O
    how the hell will you manage that..hahah omg
    evil thoughts***lol

    and now AJ is jealous..keeps talking about his muscles :P

  • Inside the Liar
    13 years ago

    Sorry, Jane, Danny can't marry you. He's already marrying me.

    Right, babe? :p

  • The Prince
    13 years ago

    I'm a strong believer in bigamy

  • Sunshine
    13 years ago

    HAHAHAAH oh man! Wise answer..

    now they wanna get divorced ?

    So Danny; we are being surprised by you and your wives..

    any kids as well? as a surprise..

    EDITED :

    Jane..tell me you're not pregnant :P?

  • Inside the Liar
    13 years ago

    Yeah, we have two. He keeps pushing for three more, but I told him that unless he finds a way to give birth to them, he's out of luck. :)

  • Sunshine
    13 years ago

    LOL oh god.. I swear I feel like"this is another Danny"..
    not the one I know..
    no no no

    wait.. 2 ?

    pushing for a 3rd?

    K
    passes away*

  • silvershoes
    13 years ago

    Bigamy is acceptable. Heck, Danny is only 1 in my male harem of 300. AJ need not be jealous, he's also part of the harem little does he know. Nicko too. All my husbands...

  • Sunshine
    13 years ago

    Heeheeh Oh..my god..

    you got fever
    ?lol

  • The Princess
    13 years ago

    Male harem? Harem means WOMEN XD

    I think I'll just think of baby names, you guys would probably need them... Danny what have I told you? =P

  • Sunshine
    13 years ago

    Hahah Nor..Harem means Women indeed..

    lol

    reminds me of "Bab Al Hara"

    if you know it ; or ever watched that

  • The Princess
    13 years ago

    Yes, Nana, I've heard of it but never watched it, I'm afraid. maybe next Ramadan.

  • Sunshine
    13 years ago

    Ooohh.. yap perhaps

  • silvershoes
    13 years ago

    Then what do I call a large group of male husbands that worship me? Humpf.

    All baby names must start with J.

  • The Princess
    13 years ago

    I think Jane, you'll be a first in the Arabic language and culture to do so, but a group of men would be ''rejaal'', you can move from there.

    I don't know you, if they asked for your head. XD

    ^^
    I don't think those would be enough. you'll probably need to pick another letter sooner or later considering the number of babies. oh well.

  • The Prince
    13 years ago

    All this is making my day ahaha but can we not clog up this thread cause I have to post results on here eventually :P

  • The Princess

  • The Prince

  • The Princess
    13 years ago

    Oh we're making witches angry now, aren't we? XD

    --

    May the skies and stars rage upon thou
    for thee who shant fear them heedings..

    Black hat, poison ivy, hungry rat, incandescent candle, white chalk, blood, nail clippings, cow's feather and a good old banishing spell.

    "I call for all the powers in my hat,
    for i sacrifice this ungrateful brat,
    in exchange of a hateful rat,
    a rat that shant
    underestimate the powers of its lords,
    the lords that speak NOT through words,
    but speak through actions.
    With this igniting light,
    i turn THEE into fractions
    wandering around through the night,
    suffering from contractions.
    for i summon THEE
    so mote it be."

  • Sunshine

    LOL Nor..do you think they would ONLY ask for her head?

    Sorry Danny:
    Just had to take Nor's ideas over this..

    :P

    lol

    EDITED :
