Contest very tough contest :P (don't just sit and enjoy your holidays without poetry ) by abuyi

okay guys i am looking for a very poetic poem... something i could say classic.. something i would like to read more than twice.. an almost epic or epic itself.

my attention span is small so choose your length wisely. enter to impress ME (i am easy to impress)

i like reading tales about love, mysteries, adventures, months, season or on anything
i like oxymoron odes . i like odes on nature that reflects society
i love imagery and all the simple tricks of words such as metaphors, similes .. effects as anomotopia
i like complexity with it simplicity
i admire poetry in different forms because it tells more about the poet but none the less i like free verse( if you feel to share a poem in a form please explain the form in your author notes)
it be really great if any write had all of above

i don't like simple rhymes on very selfish topics
i don't care on what topic it is on.. a poet makes a topic interesting not vice versa.
i don’t care how long it is
i don’t care if i have spell mistakes or grammatical errors.. but you try not to have them.. it will effect your chances of winning.
i don’t want any difficulty while reading.. i also want beautiful backgrounds, it soothes the read
i will remove poems that i feel have no chance of wining so that poet can submit again
i might sound so prude here but i am not like that

my attention span is small so choose your length wisely. enter to impress ME (again)

have fun and give me loads of entries.. don't just sit and enjoy your holidays witout poetry

  • Final notes:
    Okay guys.. I know I took almost a month to judge this and I am truly sorry.. But you have to understand that this contest was very hard for me to judge.
    At the beginning I was lil disappointed at the entries I got(most of them were removed) but later entries made me happy that I hosted this contest. I was truly amazed and entertained to read such diverse and beautiful writes form you all.. the amazement of this contest led me to two gold trophies and I thank you all for that.

    now to the contest, almost all the entries are worth gold but I only have eight trophies to give and only three will have the first place.


    I give gold to : lost but not forgotten by malkinpuss
    I found this write very amusing and most unique from all entries. it had everything I asked for plus more.

    I give silver to : spring buds and winter wine by jimmy20johns
    I found this write a very beautiful seasonal classic.

    I give bronze to: less than lovers(a duet) by Maldronah.
    the poet did a beautiful job on this write. it’s a wonderful English sestet.

    honorable mentions are not in any order.. I loved these entries for their unique style and choice of subject.

    I thank you whole heartedly for entering and I wish all the best on whatever you’re doing.
    A special thanks to the moderator Amunet Wolfbane; who persistently reminded me the due of my contest and for giving me the last date of this week to judge.

    CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS
    and hope to see all you guys soon for my next contest
