Romance Without all the Shloppy Bits [Contest]

In an attempt to bring to a halt the onslaught of disgustingly sloppy and romantic poems that I fear are heading our way with the imminent arrival of Valentines Day I would like to invite you to submit a slightly different love poem here.

There are some rules however

1. Each poem is to be written in the form of rhyming couplets. The first line is to be as sloppy and romantic as you like, the second is to be the most unromantic that you can think of...

I love your smile, your face, and your eyes
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

I see your face when I am dreaming
That's why I always wake up screaming

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot
This describes everything you're not


2. There is no limit to the maximum amount of couplets you can include in your poem, but a minimum of at least four please.

3. I would like the poem to make sense as a whole and not just be separate couplets on the same topic.

4. Be creative, use your sense of humour

5. As many entries as you like.

6. Place in the appropriate category if containing adult material.

Gold 300 points
Silver 200 points
Bronze 100 points

    Finally a contest from someone who likes rhyme!
    This is a cute idea, and you're sure to get some very funny responses. It appeals to my sense of humour. I hope to write something for you.

    Aw hell, no pre-writes; that's okay, I can't say anything I've written would fit the bill in terms of humor, but I think it could work otherwise.

    Love is a wonderful thing, and all wonderful things should be made fun of from time to time.

    This is quite an original idea for a contest. I read two of the entries and really liked the way they were done.
    I'm sure you'll get lots of fun poems to read.
    Good luck judging them

    Love and peace,
    Mari

    Oh gawd, this sounds just up my alley and I need to bookmark this since my lover moved out of my house on Wednesday while I was in class and came home to an empty home. I just keep smelling the pillow he had laid on and just hope that he finds what he is looking for in the vast outside world. Let me see if I can come up with somthing between now and the closing date. Gregg
