Nice cleaning, Seth. :rolleyes:

I would just like to make a general note that this thread is over 40 posts, and not all of which is about poetry. It would be a lot easier for Contestants/Judges/Spectators if you were to debate over Seth's absence or non-absence somewhere else.

I cleaned it more.

I am also curious, will Conan be judging, competing, or neither? I don't believe he ever clarified if he would. If you ever have time to read this, I am wondering. :)

Best of luck to everyone.

He didn't state he was going to be a judge, but he hasn't stated he won't be. He's rarely ever on anymore, it seems, so I'm not 100% sure what's going on. If worse comes to worse, I'll remove myself from the contest and judge secondary... I'd rather not, though.

good news :D
we have new people joining the contest

Bad news is that Seth is going to bring out his best work or something and kill us all in the scoring :p
Joking (Or maybe I'm not :rolleyes:)

I think conan should be a judge. but he's rather inactive it seems..

edit

saw what seth said on Conan judging... so this post is pretty much useless and can be deleted at you're pleasure ;)

three weeks left. You kiddin' me? if anyone else wants to join but hasn't seen this or what not then they're to lazy and don't check this enough then they shouldn't be in the contest anyways. Make the do-date a little earlier. Waiting to win gets boring :)

Ya, we should add a rule that if a whole week goes by and no one enters, you end the contest before the deadline, unless of course the deadline is after that week:p

but ureanoob just entered, so if we all agree id say the contest ends in a week assuming no one else joins, which no one will...

its up to monsterous tho

have a boring winnerless week everyone!

As long as people are in the deadline should stay where it is, though, when people aren't, I really see no reason to wait

Nevermind, no wait needed :)

Blame on Me

Do you remember that fateful day?
When war washed peace away
The two towers tumbled down
Collected the bodies on the ground

We couldn’t believe what we had seen
Suddenly, everyone’s hands were so unclean
The rivers didn’t run red with our blood
The skies didn’t thunder like they should

So many lives left without a care
Imagine being caught so unaware
Such disrespect for precious life
So many people lost a husband or wife

Brothers, sisters, friends and more
All just to settle some worthless score
Everyone was quick to point fingers and make blame
No one realized such actions should be met with shame

Today we may sing their praise
Remember when those towers were razed
But that doesn’t set the wrong things right
Nor does it illuminate this night

If I could change the world with my writing
I would only stop the fighting
If no one’s willing to take the blame
I’d go so far as to put it on my name

I know that it wasn’t in the plans
I never even dirtied my hands
But I’d sacrifice my soul
To help the world let this roll

I think now that you can see
We can put the blame on me
Let every soldier set down their gun
Let us all stand tall as one

I don’t need money to be spent
No one needs to kneel and repent
I want the world to forgive one another
Let us act like sister and brother

Allow peace to wash away war
Allow us to heal this scar
Let the past fade and be
And put the blame on me​

I think that when you set a deadline, you keep it. Extend it if you wish, but don't shorten it. If you want it shorter, make sure you do that next competition. :p

Nice poem, Seth. There are some parts I especially like in your poem, some deep and thought-prokoking parts. Nice job. :)


Have a nice day.

This isn't a discussion about rhyming, poetry or anything except the contest, guys. This is getting really spammy, so I've cleaned it up. The deadline will stay as it is for now and in the future, the entire contest should be over and done with in no more than a month [4 weeks] with maybe half a week [3 days] for judging to be decided. Whoever wins, I am adding that rule for contest 5 and all future contests :)

Meh, I usually don't write anything so don't bash. In hindsight its kinda a sad poem.... really don't know why I did that..... if you would have picked a happier topic then war then I would have given you a really happy writing!
Letters From Home

Please give her this message
Soon my life will be gone
Take it fast
Tell her its from John

-

It felt like only moments ago
That I came to this godless place
I thought I'd return a hero
To see your smiling face

At first your letters came fast
You always were checking up on me
They always brought a smile to my face
They were the only things I wanted to see

But soon there was a week
That no letter came
I didn't think much about it
I thought you still felt the same

Soon your I read your last letter
You said you had found another guy
You hated that I was never there for you
and you wanted to break this tie

I guess you could say I died that day
I really didnt care
Noone to come home to
To give my life to share

-

So now with my last breathe
Tell her that her soldier is coming back
Under a flag
Maybe she will have the care that she lacks
