[almost] anything.

unlike what I usually do, I'm allowing prewrites.
I. AM. SO. BORED.
maybe because it's 11:40 and I'm not in bed for some reason?
perhaps.

>no adult
>no excessive swearing, since all I see is bunny, which takes away from the profound-ness of the poem, if it is profound at all
>short = bliss, twenty lines and under
>humor is appreciated
>rhyme only if you have proof that you're brilliant
>nothing cliched, no idiotic romance. tasteful is fine. partly random is okay.

>.<
just something so I don't have to sit here staring at a book.

though I'll probably judge tomorrow.

and I most likely won't be bored then, which makes the contest pointless.

truth be told, I'm not much for pointy stuffs. 'specially needles. someone called me 'emo' because of my sewing attempts. which is entirely stereotypical. needless to say [and needless is pretty funny, since it almost is needles rearranged slightly], that person ended up with a broken wrist. I used to be a bully, I admit.

that last part was unnecessary, but I'm too lazy to delete.

not too lazy to write random stuff, though.

*sigh*

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on May 30
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 300, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    With 92 entries, this contest was a lot harder to judge than my other ones. The honorable mentions are in no particular order.

    Why the winning poems won:

    The Economic Crisis in Umbleania by the Sea - Gold:
    The POINT of this contest was to relieve me of my boredom. The way I prefer that to happen is to laugh, or read a poem with flawless rhyme and flow. This poem left me smiling at the nonsensical solution and in awe of the skill. Three cheers to Umbleania!

    how to die without anyone noticing - Silver:
    I [think I] could partially relate to this. I felt the same way as the narrator seems to feel. Some lines left me speechless. This is a simply amazing mix - no, not simply, but you get what I mean - of poetry and prose.

    Future Moon Walker - Bronze:
    I can remember being like that young boy. Is the moon made of cheese? I wish. The poem is lovely and hopeful, and I love it.

    There are other poems that got honorable mentions which I really think ought to have gotten something more, but that's all I have to give. Meh.

    Thank you all for your time and entries!

    Today I heard an awful racket. It was about 20 raucous crows or blackbirds, not baked in a pie, but making a whole bunch of noise. They were tying to flush an owl out of a tree, apparently because there isn't enough room for two species of ill-omen in these parts. Anyway, the owl finally flew out of the tree, followed by 5 magpies, and headed north.

      Poor owl. Is that supposed to have a 'hidden meaning' of sorts? The owl being related to my screen name, owlish?

    It says on your page that you are eleven. It says on this page that you used to be a bully. How old were you when you were a bully then?!

      LOL, I was an eight through ten-year-old bully. I used to be tall for my age. Now I'm short. I haven't grown UP for six months, only OUT.

    The population's full of glee
    Young Owlish gave a cup of gold
    For all the stories they have told
    It seems she laughed to read their woe
    They've swapped the cup for just one toe!


    Thanks for the cup
