Now, for the marrow of the challenge...
I would like to see fresh, new poems about the mad prophet. That deliciously, delightful character that has dropped from the face of humanity only to appear years later with a hand-written sign announcing the end, the funk of 5 years without a shower, a terrifying, holy gleam in his eyes and no redemption in his words of chastisement. Which point of view you choose is up to you. You may write his speech, his history leading up to his separation from the herd, the shame or outrage of an audience member, maybe even the being that has sent this odd, twisted person back into the fold to bring forth the word of doom. Surprise me! (no, seriously, surprise me!)
I'm going to keep the rules simple for this one.
#5 (unbreakable rule) - Play nicely folks, any hint of bashing anyone or their beliefs is my only disqualifying offense.
#1 X 4 X 9 - (if any contestant can tell me the significance of this number sequence, message me, I'll give you 57 points!)
#31 - Label everything appropriately, there's no reason for the little ones to be reading adult content.
#.0002348 - You may enter as many times as you like!
#K - If anyone would like to join the fun, feel free! Yes, this is invitational for some amazingly incredible writers. We have so many wonderful poets here on AllPoetry that to exclude any would be just criminal. (Sorry, I don't like 'invite only' contests. Too exclusive and leads to favoritism...)
#3 - I will comment on every offering. Depending on participation, points and honorable mentions will be increased!

I would have liked to enter this but I didn't enter your last contest. If I had I would've won of course. Who's the mad prophet?

If you read down to rule #K, you will note the exceptions to the invite rule. As to the identity of the mad prophet, that my dear poet, is completely up to you to flesh out! C'mon in!

Brilliant I didn't see that. And you look a bit like a mad prophet in your pic if you don't mind me saying so! lol It's the beard, Isaiah on acid.

Hey a title perhaps.

Too funny! That was taken right before I trimmed it down to a Van Dyke for the spring equinox! (granted, I fluffed it out crazy to make my wife giggle, she took my picture) The picture of me right after the shower I took is borderline scary! I even look like I have tentacles coming off my chin! I'll upload it one of these days for everyone's enjoyment!

I'm in the habit of collecting dwarves (the D&D figures) as the pawns for my Dragonchess board. This pic of yours, let me tell you buddy, truly qualifies you to be a decendant of Gimli!!
That said, I'm holding my breath for the tentacle shot... -
-
If I'm a descendant of Gimli, then I'm part of the really freakin' tall dwarves! I'm 5'11"!

That proves your family's wickedness. Somewhere along the way one of your great greats was racked!
