Here is another poetry contest.

This one is all about Acrostic Poems.

I would think most people know what they are, but if you don't know, here is a short example:

Hello all you people
I am a nice person

That one was really bad, but that is just an example.

Rules
1. The poem relates to the theme, so if the theme is life, here is what it would look like
L
I
F
E
2. You must use complete sentenses.
3. Only one entry per theme, if you mess up, fix it.
4. You may win twice in a row, just not 3 times. (This might change if a merit is awarded.
5. It must be your own work.


Thats the rules!
This theme is Life
The deadline is April 18th

I am looking for a judge, and in process of getting a merit for the winner.

Lies is what life is all about.
I really really hate my life
For what reason does my life exist?
Extintion to the human race.

Life is a gift to all.
It gives the Universe purpose.
For nothing would exist without life.
Eat now so you can be healthy and live.

Be BOLD
Life only means dread.
Instincts can tell one this.
Factitious rules should be broken.
Enter a state of mind which is yours and be an individual.

Lying awake in my bed
It make me wonder why we have so little time
Feeble minds are thinking alike
Everyone is aware that life is too short

Lying in the lush green grass,
I embrace the sun, my bait
Flowing through my mind are words:
'Eternity can wait'

Should say, "makes" instead of "make". Confounded typing errors...

Art is for those who appreciate feelings and expression, not typo-bashers, so don't worry about it. It should never affect your chance to win.

Liked your poem, btw.

Beastahayes, I think your poem is pretty neat, but it is supposed to be 'acrostic', i.e. consisting of four lines with the starting letters L, I, F and E respectively. It limits the artistic expression, but it provides an additional challenge.

I am afraid you will not qualify for the merit with your current entry :-(

Life is a journey lasting many years
It is a difficult and arduous path
Filled with strife and sorrow
Encompassing all the universe

Well? Go crazy, I thrive on criticism.

I am not sure if there is a merit right now. I think it beeds to go a couple rounds before a merit can be awarded.

In my experience merits are only awarded to a thread after a certain number of contests take place. Have we established a judge yet? Because the deadline might be useless if it's not reached.

DUDE THIS IS COOL. I am soooo giving it a try.

Living for only you
Is a selfish thing to do.
First you should find some friends
Eventually you will live for them too.


Hahahaha It sucks royaly, but I gave it a try. :3
