I'm sure you all have been wondering when
The Great Eight was going to break down,
and throw a contest? Wonder no longer.
As most of you know, I recently published
My first book.
sun-rising-books.com/juno_s_peacock_1.html
No not self published, not a
Poem in part of some cheesy anthology with
The National Library Of Poetry, but a collection
Of my best poems over the years edited
In such a way as to tell a bigger story.
With a real publisher, and real royalties.
God bless America! And every point on
Her slutty crown. Let's celebrate together!
So the winners of this contest:
First Place: will recieve a signed book,
And all three signed CD's worth a total of 50$
Second place: wins Their choice of only the
Book, or the CD's and Third place:
Will receive their choice of one of the CD's
www.mp3.com.au/Horus8/
www.cdbaby.com/all/horus8
And the knowledge of knowing you've
Won, or placed in one of the internet's most
Controversial poets, Horus8's, first contest, and
Possibly last (I'm working on my next
Book 'Temporal' currently, and album
'Short On Cash, Not Hair... So I'm pressed
For time.)
I am a man of my word.
There will be two honorable mentions
For twenty five points each.
First place receives 366 points
Second: 150
Third: 100
Rules:
1. Each contestant submits ten points,
Because I have to sit and read your poem,
And critique it,
And odds are it might be shite.
You can do this by applauding
2 of my poems, or this contest.
2. No pre-writes, I'm not a fledgling
So don't regurgitate in my mouth.
3. Impress me, I love structure, anarchy,
Yet balance. I'm well read, and educated,
So don't waste my time with mediocrity.
4. Test yourself, be brave, try something new
live a little, and don't ruin the process by
Thinking too much, just write to fix yourself,
And maybe a bit of the world in the process.
Writing is magical, and should be respected,
and read. Treat everyone in this contest equally,
and comment on at least one of your peer's
Poems, I'm not going to be checking any of
My rules, because that's why God gave you a brain,
And the karmic sense to do the right thing.
May the real poets win!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on December 21, 2004
- Rewards: Gold: 666
- Final notes: Well that was an extremely difficult contest to judge.
Here are the winners, and why:
1. Foible by Ms. Trick
Ms. Trick shows an amazing amount of poetic talent
In this piece. The language is spectacular, the theme
Cryptic, and the overall effect was amazing, and I have
No clue how or why, only that it works.
2. Repugnance by Temptress Moon
Here we have a poem that not only uses
Poetry as a weapon for peace, but also
As a healing salve. Temptress Moon
Achieves a sublime balance in this poem
And really proves to poets and readers alike
Just how powerful, and magical, the written word
Can be. I encourage everyone to read this poem,
And read it well.
3. D. P. Robertson does an amazing job of taking the
Ridiculous, and making it ludicrous in his piece
Process Of Discovery, by answering the age old
Question "What's a penis really for?" We can only
Hope that he doesn't put out an eye, or kill the pussy, cat.
First Runner up was bummed out dog by Dogbeat
Second runner up was Peach by Onerios 13
Other poems I thought were winners are:
Amberlee Carter's, Red Door
Abby Eyeball, You are my... Something
Cadacus, The Good Bastard
Psydeways Tears, Sidestepping Stupor
And the asshat award for blitzing bad poetry
Goes to earthbreastsky, for their poem, I, Unicorn!
Which was so bad, that I decided to take it out
Caroling with me last night, where as I sleighed
Four reinder, and an unlucky Chassidic Jew that
Strayed within ear shot, forgive me Jesu.
I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas,
And request the winners e-mail me their
Information, and their prize picks. Since
The competition was incredibly stiff in this
Competition the runners up, I feel, deserve
A CD of their choice also, and I will be randomly
applauding other poems I thought deserved merit.
Thank you, Bless you, and have a safe holiday season.
Sincerely,
Horus8

alright a horus8 book and cds JUST WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED
-
Hey I'm really tempted to enter this as I'm too tight to go and buy your book and CD's (although I was suitably impressed on hearing some of your tunes ) but haven't written much of note recently. If inspiration strikes, I'll be sure to keep this in mind
Kat -
I'd love to have you,
I enjoy your work.
You'd have a shot. -
I am so excited about this contest... I will enter...it is a very interesting thing .....to be in Horus8's contest....
-
holyshitoly, you are throwing a contest? and you want us to give you 10 points, just to submit a poem to you, comedy, you are brillant, mad and in a nutshell full of ego-manism, I love it, wow how clever is that and to top ot all off you are really gonna give prizes out. Trip on that
-
Will you be autographing and personally delivering the prizes?
-
Yes, they will be autographed,
No I won't be personally delivering,
but Fed-X will. -
An entry fee, now that's different. "Real" prizes, that's different too. If I figure out what kind of structure anarchy has, I'm in.
666 points, huh? check your addition.
-
yes I think we shall all run amok to get a shot at this prize, I am going to promote your contest for a few clicks want everyone to enter and maybe like the King you will get over 400 entries, so just send me a book and I will not enter
-
You should, I'd love to have you.
-
Anarchy's like pears and stilton,
An acutely soft contrast.
Join the fun, first, second, and third
win physical prizes. It's a hoot. -
Aha! Definitely gotta tip that donkey chapeau to ya on this one Horus! Novel idea (hehe!), and I know from what I've heard of your recordings that your CDs are no 'booby prize' either!
My muse has gone walkabout... but ya never know.
~ G
-
I am sure you are very well read, which makes it slightly more difficult to forgive your tone of overweening hubris.
I wonder what is the booby prize? A truckload?
Next up: write a doggerel about your weirdest sexual experience: first prize gets a night of passion with the Worm. Second prize gets a week, etc.
Yours, still in nest, open-mouthed, etc.
Applause is not admission fee: simply applause for chutzpah. -
Real prizes?!?! I'm just barely 16 and probably not good enough for what you're looking for... but I'll be back to read and admire because it sounds like you've got some AMAZING entries coming!! Good luck with this... If I get struck with one of those miracle lightning shocks of inspiration I'll be sure to enter... but I don't think I stand a chance. Good luck to everyone who enters! Can't wait to read what you've got!!!
Kelso~ -
well now.
sheep
N... -
I may have to consult the silverfish on this, one of them has to cough up something
-
Finally something different I will surely enter! Just need some thing to inspire me to write come on you stupid bitch off a Muse get in the kitchen and cook something up! please....... Oh ok i will be back here is my down payment!
-
This is a great idea and original. It also gives me a chance to win and get a your book as well... I will be glad to beable to join a great contest like this. I will have to see what I can come up with. From SlightlyTwisted...
-
I’m not sure that my writing is up to your high standards, but I’d love to give it try. Now all I have to do it come up with something that might impress you. I would hate to hear that one of my poems has been condemned to realm of mediocrity (although it wouldn’t be the first time) by a reader who has loftier ideas than I. This really is a nice idea for a contest, and I liked the way you laid out the rules, so well that I’m going to applaud it even if though I’m not sure I’ll enter. Patti

A bird told me you wanted to hear this?

Hmm. I'll definitely have to see what I can come up with. I'll certainly be back to check out the entries.

So far they're damn good
Dog beat's poem and Ms. Trick
Frankly, blew me away. -
I'd never win, or I would enter...but I hate to lose..lol
-
scary
I'd enter also, but there's just one little problem : I'm a $hitty writer. Here's 5 points for all the $hitty reading you must endure in judging this contest (You know, all the bad writers that think they're great. "I have emotions. I cry. I cut myself. The sky is a pretty shade of blue. Oh woo hoo... ). I have my own contest to bull$hit through.
Edited on Dec 19, 4:27 because ''. -
Okay, so I got brave. Okay, so I don't care.
-
i know you said no prewrites, but i have just recently tattooeed a poem on the head of my penis. May i enter that?
-
Yay, I'm all aquiver.
-
will be entering soon, and winning all the prizes, everybody else must please take one step back away from the computer. Gee, this sounds like a rehashed version of my infamous Put Down The Mouse poem, that lanquished by the wayside in this vapid realm of electronic sorrow. Boo, Hoo, he musta' had a poem that nobody read. So sad when the good ones are never read.
So, prepare yourself, www I'ma gonna rock this place with a deeply moving, never to be read poem, that will solve all of the world's problems, cook your dinner, and flavor the pallets of discriminating artists everywhere.. so without further Adon't.....dut dut dut dah....Dave Adam's futile attempt # 273m3 @ entering a contest on this site, with yet still another delusional conception that I may be read, loved and showered with the undying affection and admiration of my artist peers. Yes, at last I will not only come up the appropriate poem to sweep this contest ( because I am so excited that the prizes are going to have some real effect on my life), and somehow through this miracle of electronic communication I can finally hear the voice of this world's leading poet/artist/musician. And like back when I was 6, and the words and music of the Beatles forever altered my perceptions of life, winning this fabulous cd package will force yet another monumentous shift in my psyche. I will then be a proud owner of an autographed collection of the voice of our age. I also will get a fine example of literature sent to me at no cost written by the same Horus8. God, I can barely keep my fingers on the right keys as my soul swells with the impending elation. I am short of breath, and my pulse is racing, I feel like a silly little nobody, waiting despirately in the shadows of a theatre alley, poised and ready to submit my very best poem, just for the fleeting hope that someday my words and ideas will somehow stir a bit of admiration and respect from this icon of the poetry world. Lord, if I could just get but one Christmas wish this year, Please, I beg you, let it be the 1st place trophy in this contest. I need those Cds and book so bad to fulfill the wholeness of my reason. You know I have no life, this rambling here is but a small testament to that fact, oh please let me get something of true value in my life! I've just gotta' win this, so all other entries to this contest, please w/draw your poems so that I may see a lifelong wish come true.
I beg you all, please let me win by default. I have to have that music, without it I will continue to spiral down this dismal path, unelightened, unloved and so, so sad.

Damn I need to get a sound card bad!!!!!! Grrrrrrr hate broken things makes me want to break stuff!!!!!! I will listen to this when i can use a computer that has sound!

You never know?
-
Dave, you are a brave and wordy man and your poem has my vote...
-
I would enter, sucks I'm 14.
-
This is an AWESOME and OUTSTANDING contest horus8! You have made me push my mind beyond the brink of sanity, the sublime BUT I had loads of fun doing it I will readily admit! I hope a piece that is done in a narrative prose like format is ok as that is what I have gone and done!
~Nikki~ -
Ok am doing my second applause here for this contest and I have no problem doing it because I think it is MOST WORTHY of a double applause!
~Nikki~ -
I'd enter, too bad I can't write.
-
Thanks, I love the atmosphere in this contest...
It's like eating in an upscale restaurant, but on good opium. -
You have drawn out some of the best pieces with this contest. So far everyone of the pieces I have read are great! This one is definately going to be fun for you to judge and you get to read alot of damn good pieces! Keep em coming people I am loving reading all of these!
-
Wow Congrats on your publishing and CD's I'm sure they are well deserved. Anyways if I can write above and beyond myself I will be back to enter... but it looks like you have some really awesome entries here.
-
Hey awsome idea for a contest I'll give it a swig jus like a good taste of Mead *grins*
-
Geez - you mean I have to write something good? This will be ever so taxing. Gimme a couple of minutes.
Scott -
I would really love to enter, but seeming as I'm only 16 and don't have parental consent, i can't. Is there any other way that i could get a hold of your book?
Emily -
That parent's permission thing was a joke Trentis, get it?
-
lol, exactly.
-
Yeah, just click on the books link above? In the contest's text.
-
Okay, I'll try to write something, but I'm not guaranteeing a worthy piece for this contest. Your writes are well written and there is no way to EVER surpass yours, but I shall try my hardest and do my best not to write something stupid and unworthy.
Emily -
Oh come now, we all start somewhere, be brave and honest, and your work will shine no matter.
-
666 points. Why I'm so amused by that, I'll never know.
-
i am too scared to enter. i feel like being murderous somehow and stabbing my brain to see if anything good will come out of it amongst the pools of blood and gore an occasional word might pop up and i could dig them out and arrange them into something perhaps...
-
You my friend are a harsh one im not so sure I want to be ripped apart by anyone so hmmm not sure if I am going to enter or not but it does sound interesting.
good luck judging and to all that enter.
-
I quote: 'holding contests is kinda...sad'. Barbie. Xx
-
One contest in a year?
That's not bad, besides
This is no ORDINARY contest
Now is it? -
Hi. I would not even entertain the thought that I could win one of your contests, but I still had to click to see what it was about. Congradulations on your first published poetry. It is very cool! And maybe I will buy your book, but perhaps I should read your poetry on here first to see if i can even understand it.
-
oooh!!!!! I HAVE TO ENTER!!! oh you have no idea how exicted I would be..i love reading and having a signed book would be so awesome
ok..here I go I'm entering with all my heart and mind!!! this seems like no ordinary contest and..wow..i'm glad i found this. wish me luck and good luck to all the others in the contest
-nicci -
Bah, there's no way I can write something worth more than the stuff that makes my ass itch, so I probably won't enter this. Have fun with it.
-
He's a hack in diapers
ha ha, last week I saw cutting and zit cream make your ass itch, so that's not saying a lot you talentless cad. LMAO!!!!!! 11!!!! -
"Be the miracle" Shit ,you can barely where the pimple.

-
How many pieces can you enter, and basically what are you looking for? Just the piece we wish to share that has stretched the limits of ourselves? Let me know soon! I want to win win win!!!! Man, this is just the most awesome contest I've EVER encountered, and I may have said that before, but this BEATS them all! Please let me know

great contest

just do it plink.
-
I'm gonna have to aplaud this contest cause after reading your poetry... I'm gonna have to wash all the blood... guts... gore and
REDRUM from my thoughts. WHEW... that was an intense adventure fer sure. -
Oooh... Too bad I'm not really a poet I'm gonna have to read some of this stuff, as I would expect it to hold some quality.
Have fun judging, too
Cheers,
~Tal~ -
Great Idea for a Contest... By chance is it 1 entry per member, or ??? (Smile) ... Thank you for making this as interesting as an online Contest could be! Best Regards, Liz
-
I find it vageuly amusing that so many people entered your contest, with the hopes of winning the signed book and whatnot. I bet hgalf of them didnt even ask for parental permission, or are underage.
-
"Self indulged" No that would be the case if you guys had
to pay shipping and handling fees, or if I hadn't spent five years writing a great book just to give it away for free, when it costs 16 bucks a pop.
Is Santa Clause Self indulgent because he's fat and in the red?
I think not, and I'm not even going to go into how hard I worked to get
my records produced, so to give them away is not self indulgent it's actually a rather selfless, and artistic thing to do, try it. -
How is it selfless? It'll mean more people read your book and listen to your music - you should be as thankful for that as they are, what's it got to do with the 16 bucks a go?
Having said that I am jealous as buggery that you're published so I'm probably talking shit But you know lots and lots of people with books out would send them to as many people as possible I guess, leave them on tube trains and stuff. I don't think it's self indulgent at all but it's really not selfless.
Whos knows. I think it's a wee bit tight to start slagging poems in chessy anthologies and whatnot though - havn't seen your book in Waterstones if you catch my drift....
Butttttttttttttttttttttttt
yes yes yes I am bloody jealous indeed. -
It's selfless because the contents of my poetry and music, and my art-form in general, and creative process, is selfless. Because, I use honesty, knowledge, and courage to defend the weak, and pure.
And because I've spent my life doing that for free. I can't afford to buy my own book, and really I'm not interested in promoting myself, or leaving my book around for people to read. I promote the book, and would be grateful if people read it, not because I wrote it, but because of what it says, and the positive effect it has when read. I promote my music because I truly believe music can heal, and help people escape, and enjoy themselves. I think that you've confused capitalism and arrogance as my agenda, you're wrong. everyone knows that books and music don't sell well, since the internet came into being.I write poetry to communicate and represent those in need, and the artform in general, thank you. And if I was greedy and selfish I certainly would not have become a POET. Even the dead know that.
Edited on Dec 11, 4:59 p.m. because ''. -
You shouldn't be jealous, any twat can publish a book, look around that walderdorfenstein store on one of your little outings to see that.
-
Anthologies are shit because they are money scams, and basically akin to one of those greatest hits of the seventies compilations on infomercials selling at 2 in the morning. They are a massing of great work with shitty work and normally more about the cover than the contents. I know, I'm in more anthologies than ghandi.
-
I hardly think they're here for the book, it's more about making a point to themselves I believe.
-
yeah music does heal i know that im not thick
anyway...i was trying to be sarcastic up there but it didnt work i guess - i wasnt being sarcastic about being jealous - i truly am jealous... but i was taking the piss about the stupid money and whatever, sorry if i pissed you off or something but i was joking. kind of.
i dont think you're greedy or selfish anyway and I never said that - I think you're fairly arrogant and pretty patronising but fair play to you i suppose - i didn't mean to piss you off anyway
sorry -
and no any twat can't get published, i think that rubbishes the people who've tried about a millionbillion times to be honest
-
Come now, I'm not pissed I'm just being honest.
Of course part of me loves feedback, and being respected
As an authentic artist, but really I don't think people quite
get the hardwork and ugly side to being 'famous' or
'known' or 'underground' or 'hip' or whatever is the latest
15 minute term for celebrity-ism. I can assure you that
I'm not mad, that tone is my gimmick. However, on a serious
note writing that book almost killed me, and I am proud
of it because it really gives something to the reader. You
know that thing you love about a good book, that thing that
keeps your face in it up to your eyebrows. That magical
occurance where you are that person in the book, an organic
fusion that unites the author and the reader for a blissful
30 minutes of escape, and recapitulation vicariously.
What I really miss about a good book when I was younger
Is that, that magic, and Juno's Peacock pulls it off,
Because it's selfless, and universally honest to itself
before anything else.
Edited on Dec 11, 5:41 p.m. because ''. -
I think people have a hard time getting published,
Because they want it too much as if it's going to
authenticate their validity as a writer, it won't. It
just opens up another can of worms to find
disgusting similarities and flaws to shrink at. -
yes i imagine it's a brilliant book - and mostly i think it must be because youre one of the few people on here who does seem to tell the truth and not just flap about kissing everyone arse and being fake as they come, you know?
oh crap now it sounds like im kissing your arse
cant win
anyway
must be very lovely to see stuff you've written in a real book - i cant imagine what that's like
i think i'd fucking keel over and just die - it must just feel so weird -
Yeah, it's surreal, but when I
read my book in print for the
first time, it rather
struck me as something not
Really mine. Almost like something
that had been there all along that
I had found and brought to light.
Like a good performance in acting
Not really yours, it kind of turned
Into Everyones. A cather in the rye,
if you will. A zeitgeist...

Actually I'm here because I'm trying to defend my weak knowledge with honesty... courage and pure BS. Not to mention... I'm a tree hugger and can't stand the thought of innocent trees being destroyed for worthless paper. So this book better be COOL AS HELL to make it worth murdering poor defenseless trees.
SIGH... I know a way to get around the cost of publishing... offer the book in electronic form so that ALL the proceeds go directly to you... the MAGNIFICENT ARTIST! Hey... even I did it after I came to the same terrible realization that you mentioned above... ANY TWAT can publish a book... if they do it themselves but how many have such ass to give it away for free and dare to call it... "TO SAVE LUCIFER"? Then again... I'm a glutton for punishment.
You tell em man! Let them pour their own souls into a work and then bitch about how much it might be worth to them or anyone else eh? -

yeah sure I guess it's kind of like giving birth to something; it came from you and it was made by you but it definately isn't you. who knows. but it's all pretty bizarre

here's mud in your eye!

Horus, it doesnt surprise me one bit you've got published (genuinely). I've known this guy for about 2 years and you may skip his author page notes but you should check his pseudonyms out on poemranker: baba yaga, shardik, bachus: all different sides to his character.
However poemranker? whats happened to it J? -
Poemranker is back up, it was down for awhile, but it's back up now.
I haven't placed that poem "My Son..." in a book yet. I'll probably
wait until I have enough parent and children type poems written
Up, and then do a parent/child themed book of poetry sometime
down the road. Thanks for all of your support and friendship over
the last couple of years T, it's good to know poets can still stick
together, and find things to communicate, and stand together on.
Your's truly

Congratulations on the book I'm sure you're really pleased with it and you deserve to be proud. Hows the kiddies? Hope you are spoiling them rotten with your royalties lol
I know I could never write anything remotely worthy of going into this contest, howevr I wish you luck in judging! I would say it seems tough but you're a shrewd guy so shrugs go get em!
good luck to all who enter!
Take care

Great contest, I appreciate, and welcome the challenge. If I had seen it earlier, the poem might have been better, I did it last minute, and I regret that sorely. I apologise.
-
horus holding a contest?
brilliant. this means the apocalypse is coming, and that there's a real judge (for once). -
I don't know about real judge, but once I judged
a wet t-shirt contest in my trailer park. I gave the
bronze nipple award to the wet dog that peed on
the co-judges leg from Texas. And ate little
Sally Felcher's tanning lotion. -
good enough for me.
i bet i could win that contest...
i mean, this contest
-
Am I suppost to have confidence here?
-
What in the hell does this place have to do with your confidence?
Please, don't blame me for your teenage longing to be accepted. I'm not the one. I am the nude. -
Well aren't you intellegent. Big bad Hourus couldn't identify sarcasm if it was a snake and bit him in the ass. Also, your judgment on identifying teenagers is just a little off.

Don't hate me because I'm predictable.
Hate me because I'm into Uranus. -

Wow, great contest. It's a shame that virtually no one else puts thought into their contests anymore. Well done on the publishing, and I look forward to hearing more from you.

Why thank you sir. There are competitions and there are those that come along all too rarely. To even get a placing in among this crowd has me so excited I could well be flicking cool mints off my penis for the next week. Note to self- don't shoot Santa with friendly fire. The poetry this comp attracted almost says as much about the standing you are held in as it does about those who entered. This was judged fairly and for the winners, what a great effort. Almost every entry is worth reading here, especially that wonderful ode "Process of Discovery" and probably the comments from judge and mob on all entries. I am looking forward to getting a CD and really, just send me what you like, its all good as far as I'm concerned. This was a heap of fun. Thanks

Why thank you, Mr. Horus8...I am honored to be mentioned amongst such worthy competitors, and I am thrilled that you are also allowing the runner upers to get a cool prize too! Again, thank you for your kind words on my poem and for being such a generous host. And you have yourself a safe, merry and enjoyable holiday season as well!
-
Thanks for thinking I wrote a "winner"! And congrats to everybody else mentioned in the final notes!!!
-
Yeah, you're an amazing writer, it was a pleasure to have you.
-
At last a competition with some damn good poems on here. The contrast of those chosen for the winners are diverse and deserving. The competition should be bookmarked for the quality of stuff on here.
Thanks Horus and everyone else - happy holidays ¬ -
Congradulations winners Great job!
