Hello and welcome to the 8 that have moved on from the last round. This is the final round and will involve a simple emotion for your first poem and a second poem--however, you'll be competing against eachother and you are all wonderful poets, so it wont be easy.
Rules.
o1. Only enter if you've moved on. Other entries will be disqualified.
o2. Use spell checker, please and proofread 
o3. Nothing over 100 lines, nothing under 5.
o4. Ask if you have any questions.
Points will be added and the winner will receive 1500, Silver will get 1000 and Bronze will get 500. There will be 3 HMs as well. This contest will be open for a month so you have plenty of time to gain inspiration and get your writes in. Okay, so here we go. Good luck.
Poem one:
Choose an emotion/feeling and make it stand out. Be excellent, be unique, be you.
i. loneliness
ii. apathy
iii. respect
iv. fear
v. remorse

*one of these emotions each, first come, first serve. So leave your reserve in with the emotion/feeling as your title.*
and second poem must be a 12 line poem, each line representing a month. You can do this by metaphor, by being literal or taking a complete different direction.

the pendulum of the grandfather clock kept a monotonous rhythm which reminded me of passing cars. I fingered the buttons of my blouse & counted the colours that were born in your eyes, thinking all the while of the dull ache• Commented on by judge. [remove]

Can you explain in more detail what you want for the second poem? I don't think I understand. Thanks.

okay so imagine if you will there are 12 lines, just like 12 months of the year, each line of poetry is to be about, representing or involving the months of the year. So for example
January kissed the staligmites,
freeing winters end with joy,
capturing the tropes that never fight
and the shower April laid.
January mentioned in line one.
End of winter, February, in line 2.
March aka like the tropes marching
April, as in April and the April showers, line four.
Does this make more sense, or am I ludicrous? -
-
oooh's not tropes, troops
-

OK so the 1st is the emotion prompt and the 2nd has to resemble the 12 months of the year? That is how I am understanding it
-
-
I'm confused too.........
-
-
So we have to each enter two poems?
-
-
yep

-
I thought I had longer!
GAH! Oh well, I'm sorry though.
