1. Slisuddgmjsafjhsfwearlgprouawsuffghaadfuseryer

Sickening lullabies illicitly sung
Under drug damned, gangrene minds.
Just stay away from jesters' houses;
Study fearfully where each agitated
Rogue lays grievous paws,
Reaching openly - untowardly -
Around waists so unenlightened.
Fear foes greedily harassing and
Accosting daughters for unholy,
Sickening enterprises, rued yearly.
Everyone. RISE.

Hold the Tiller, Watch the Boom

Afloat lonely seas,
jousting radically heavy forces,
unmitigated deluges,
I expurge pain
as mighty Neptune
challenges heartfully.

Racing happily,
withstanding overt attacks,
past anxieties leave -
drowning midstream -
for I've received inspiration.

Eternal ocean
serene paradise!
Sunsets, mauve nacre,
beautiful displays,
veritable ethereal veils welcome
Helios down under sea.

Keep driving
by determination
harbour deferred!

3. Rowmria weqwedkl aj sf kj sdhg fw k j jehrlw popoerinwkrhp

Gentle Rage

Rage occasionally wanders,
mastering rapid imaginative abuses,
wearing evil gentlenesses
with elastic depth.

killing lively amateurs, jesters,
silent flags, kings jump,
screaming dark half griefs forever:
(waiting kingdoms justify easy hells radically)

life walks painfully,
occupying perception,
offending emotion.
reaching ignored nerves
weekly.

keen rats hide paths.

"I . . . "

Kept silent...

just acknowledging a bunny,
constantly leaping another bunnies:

-----dexterously jumping, vaulting
-----over another
-----like a bird rising higher,
-----flying

-----unconsciously operating,
-----absorbed
-----like entranced. Now,
-----forced bouncing,
-----gamboling around
-----on rocky lands

---------------going nowhere...

And knowing, viewing, observing,
thinking, pondering, studying,
meditating,

now excessively . . .

keeps, without pause, engaging
unconsciously - cognitive hopes:

-------creating yearnings
-------establishing objectives
-------regulating pleasures

like a bunny dexterously vaulting,
hurdling, escalating
unconsciously
through only dare bounce another,
going explicitly,
instinctively going.

Each moment, any moment

Restlessly, I tie our sleeping-pattern.
Love's conscience now wallows, gnaws,
underneath each odourless telltale.
Lust flickers, no amorous vows.
We gag each infinity,
graze plastic lips,
grab each immoral timing.
Our games never die wordlessly.
Guess I'm worthless, packaging quotes
like sneaky notes carrying blame.
Can't lie, steal, latch.
A monotonous conversation
needs rebellion, various wars.
Your quiescence omits destiny,
makes each orgasm terrifying.
Seems like a cacaphony
raiding each precious moment.
I'll never hear desire.

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

6. Ahsucidownhsoalefbcjdskahsjwowhsusopambwufod

Methadone

And he stays

under corridors, inside
dreams

only when night hits,
silence owning a lifetime...

every fallout, bang
crashing
jeering
hypnotizing
daring skies

- kaleidoscope -

as he shakes, jealously waits
on wanderlust.

How softly "us" separates
onto panicked, aged mouths.

Begin
without us.

Faint
or
die.

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

She
knelt down -
November dealt us:
eroded inlays, ecological
parchments; smudged mews, all
newly drafted, hung for Utopia. Feel oppression
erupt. Pine assembly migrates, leaving nebulous dust
hanging yesteryear's wasted investments. Dammed,
lamenting forests, now strewn, husks eroding under
rusted opium fields. Phantom armies reveal
Mankind's qualms. Never ever
have woodland Oaks
danced.
P a u s e:
Demonic
muggers
Strangle
Hardwood
Embryos.

Here are some of the hilarious responses I got from the contestants... I just have to share.

"So this was my attempt... you cruel, cruel monster haha! Just kidding of course :P Don't know how much sense this makes, but I kind of like the more abstract/ hidden meanings."

"Are you giving me such a long one on purpose?!

curse you! :P "

"This made me laugh. I am just attempting to do a ABC poem and came out of the word document to read my messages. "

"I hope the others received war and Peace too! lol

I am still working on it, but I am confident it will be in on time teacher! *passes over a polished apple* "

"The good news is that the contest is call ramble ramble! Here's my ramble of words. Like aprox 70 letters is a lot lol. "

"Holy mother! O_O

I must be dreaming.

I'll see what I can come up with. "

"Wow

Do you hate me? "

"You should send one with lots of q, z & x's "

"That looks like the Jabberwocky when I read it drunk!
Thanks, Britt - I think. I'll do my best!"

"Britt...
*scared* itss toooo loooonnnnnnggggggggg "

"Heyyyy....

Aren't these too many letters :/ "

Very difficult contest, great entries though. Good luck for all the participants.

I'm so impressed with the poems I received!!

It is difficult to judge on poems that were, I am sure difficult to create. My votes are in.

I'm the one who suggested:

"You should send one with lots of q, z & x's "

But only after Britt assured me that she did not hate me.

^Lol, nice work guys!

Please keep sending votes in peeps!

I must be dreaming .

This is a tough choice. Here I am just wondering... How come some poems are shorter than others?

And I am also wondering..,

How did Britt came up with those letters? Did she just crazily typed them? Lol

Actually Britt, did you typed random letters or was it all planned?

It depends on if I gave you letters from the computer or my phone. People with my phone got longer, because I couldn't see it as easily.

I literally just smashed my keyboard. lol.

Haha great stress reliever. ( not the smashing of the keyboard but of typing random letters

Luce, I had not noticed that disparity.

So 4 & 5 ought to get awards for patience, endurance & not attacking the host

This is so interesting. I actually asked for another letter, but then decided to not bother. lol

Hahaha I am so impressed with what you all came up with!!!

Can I get at LEAST one more set of votes from someone who didn't participate please, please, pleaaaase?

Britt have sent you the votes!

I voted. These were amazing.
