Day 7: Marathon - The Club (Pirate Ship)

Rules/guidelines:

- Use this thread to post your poems. Don't post anything other than poems in it please. Only start when the hour starts: Poems posted before or after the hour (PnQ time) won't be counted!

- You can only take one option/time slot.

- You cannot post a poem until 2 OTHERS member have posted before you. Work it out in your clubs what poems you are doing each.
NOTE: If you want to use your simplify lifeline this round, you can use it so that only 1 person has to post before you, so that way the contest will be achievable with 2 people. Obviously though the more people you have the easier/faster it is, (so long as everybody is organised!)

- 1 point per poem (out of 50 points total, bonus points for more than 50 poems) 50pts for average quality, 100pts total (before bonuses)

- Use the 30 or so minutes before to organise who will take what poem and get writing, ready to hit the ground running when the hour starts. Organisation and teamwork is key here.

Once you have done one lap, you start again! Note: Start at prompt 1 and go in order. If you are doing prompt 3, you can't post that until somebody has posted prompt 2.

Yoh..I 'ave me some bleedin'good rum for thee who can write me a poem....arrhhh..hick!

We were all busy or working :/

Hellon who cares? this contest is for fun and that's all

^^^^

As a former member of The Club....my post was only made to encourage these guys....nothing else intended but....I'm pretty sure the actual members will have realised that!

Awh!!! then i appologize Hellon forgive me for thinking wrong but i have been very protective of those that know that time can't make them do poetry in time of pressure trust me i wanted to be in the contest but i had gotten sick so i know how he felt...

Had exams, been typing poems on my phone for days.

Had midterms and then went on a snowboard trip. In the car on the way home now.

The time constraints have just not been manageable for us unfortunately.
