I've all ready written one for a contest just like this called "Me, I'm Not." I wouldn't have to change any words or titles...so, I'm going to reserve and post it here.
If it isn't what you're looking for, tell me.

I honestly choose this title because I all ready had a poem for it.
But the reason I choose it for the other contest is because I loved the challenge that the title brought. "Me, I'm Not" contridicts itself, to me, and so I wrote about a guy that contridictes the world... Yeah? =]

Me, I'm Not

I am a dream of correction,
A naughty you can't touch.
I will be your new infection --
A cost that's way too much.
I will starve you of our dreams;
It is much harder than it seems.
....I will starve you.
....I will starve you.
I will strip you of our dreams

I am a dream of correction,
A devil of a guy.
I am not made of erections;
My heart you cannot buy.
Secrets within my duration,
I am an imagination.
....Secrets within.
....Secrets within.
Erections are a guy's inflation.

I am a dream of correction,
But now my tale must end,
I'm just an imagination,'
A truth you have to bend.
Me, I am not, lies I have told,
But heart and body I've not sold.
....Me, I'm not.
....Me, I'm not.
I may be lies, but my heart's gold.

Understanding: This is speaking of a guy who is not like other guys; he think with his heart not his . . . other thing. o.O

The Trijan Refrain, created by Jan Turner, consists of three 9-line stanzas, for a total of 27 lines.
Line 1 is the same in all three stanzas, although a variation of the form is not to repeat the same line
at the beginning of each stanza. In other words, the beginning line of each stanza can be different.
The first four syllables of line 5 in each stanza are repeated as the double-refrain for lines 7 and 8.
The Trijan Refrain is a rhyming poem with a set meter and rhyme scheme as follows:

Rhyme scheme: a/b/a/b/c/c/d,d refrain of first 4 words of line five /c

Meter: 8/6/8/6/8/8/4,4 refrain/8

Capital G please

Xx Capital G xX

You stand there glaring at me
But sweetie, I don't care
You're wasting your own energy
So go ahead and stare

You're a pathetic little girl
I'm really not scared of you
If you've got a problem
Then it's all your own issue

Cos I'm not rising to the bait
You're really not worth my time
If you think I get upset
You must be out your mind

Cos I stopped crying long ago
You're just not worth my tears
So listen to what I'm going to say
Let it sink into your ears

You're a pointless human being
And you'll never get to me
So take your name calling somewhere else
My name's Gem with a capital G...

*Gem*

Why i chose this title, cos my name begins with G and it's a capital G =)

The Great Destroyer

Relentless in my quest,
I track you down through time,
Paying back the pain you've dealt,
Through the misery of your crime.

I live within your nightmares,
Sleep is my dear friend,
I'll drown you in your misery,
When life is at its end.

I am the great destroyer,
What you leave behind,
I am everything you fear the world,
Shall bring upon mankind.

I am the debt you're owing,
The thing you strive to kill,
I am the mother of your nature,
The victim of your thrill.

Storms becoming larger,
And lightning seeks to hit,
The destruction you perpetuate,
The sins you do commit.

Keep digging in my bosom,
And stealing my lifes blood,
Keep heating up the atmosphere,
And begging for that flood.

Keep ripping down my children,
The air which you do breathe,
Trees somehow dispensable,
Until you're on your knees.

Nature is destructible,
And here's a little clue,
If you're going to kill this planet,
You're really killing you.

Oh hell.
I can't decide there all such good titles.
God Damn
reserve them all for me >.<

I might do the greater good.

As a change to this competition, could entrants please make a short explanation of why they chose the name they did.
It can be "because it sounded good and gave me a cool idea."

Thankyou.
GA

"Meet Your Master", please. This title is awesome, and I've got the perfect idea for a poem. ^_^

Meet Your Master
by HiddenxSoul

They once all feared the ending;
The one thing they knew would come,
Something that would destroy Earth in one step,
Leaving nothing but a single crumb.

It would tear houses from their roots
And ocean waters would overflow.
The elderly won't end their life in grace
And the young won't get to grow.

But there was one thing that was unknown;
A twist in this apocalyptic tale.
This deadly cause that would end the world
Came in the form of a devious male.

Not a common man, no that is not what I mean;
As this male is strong, with unusual height.
He bares scars on his face, and sores on his arms
And goes nowhere without initiating a fight.

Nobody knows where he came from
And no one knows why he is here.
All that people have been informed of
Is that he is somebody they need to fear.

Now this day is upon them,
They have nowhere that they can run.
Some of them, eager to end the torture
Shoot themselves with a stone cold gun.

Each step he takes around them
Causes destruction in every direction.
He's like a harmful disease, never ceasing;
A fast paced killing infection.

He ends the world so calmly
While wrecking terror on every path,
And as people stare up aimlessly, he says
"Meet your master," and laughs.
