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.

I write for the heck of it. Even though I would enjoy an award worth value to the common goal ( ranking up ) I would still write poetry cause I enjoy it. I like to win, but it isn't something I would stop writing for if there wasn't a reward for it. If you only write for the reward, I think you should stop posting it on here. I think poetry is for people who love it as an art. Not a way to get some easy AP by rhyming with a purpose.

so out of the 10 or so people on this thread three would continue to read, I have to say if that's really true then I'm little ashamed...

Wow,this is doing really good only on the second theme and 12 pages and I am not judge so I can make on.

Death haunting my whole life.
Ever lasting nothing,once you die.
At the end of life is always death.
Trying to kill you evry day.
Haunting me every second of my life.

Deep Within Man's Hollow Heart
Ever darkness reaches with cold hands
At the moment of final pain
Thou shall not falter
Hail those who have the strength to withhold their last breath!

You know, poems come out stronger when you don't mention the topic clearly, don't they? This art thread is pretty fun actually. Merit or no merit, users are writing pretty good pieces.

Deadly darkness is death, waiting for you.
Everyone is scared of it.
Always lurking behind the corner.
Tearing apart your mind bit by bit.
Has anyone gotten away from it? No.

There is mine

Judging is here! Here are the awards!
So Close Awards
xKimichix:

Deavestation of one's life
even though your not expecting it
a danger is always lurking about
the evils searching for sacrifices
happiness is not always a gold-xKimchix-

It was really good, however the last line was a bit off topic.

It was pretty darn good, however it seemed similar to the other ones.
Gloominess Award
KnockoutSloth:
Death is the darkest part of life
Eating away at your soul
As the wait makes you paranoid
Trespassing into your everyday personality
Hating everyone around you â"KOSLOTH

It was very good, however it seemed a little too sad for me
Bad Boy Award
Beastahayes:
Death shall befall us
Every person will go
All of us will leave at our time
Too bad it's not our choice
Holy sh*t here I go -beastahayes

Not bad, however for some reason, the swearing made it less appealing.
Most Improved
XVERB:
death is always a subject
evade it we can not
avoiding it is impossible and depressing it may be
the agent is unknown and unforgiving
hope is all we can do, but it may not do a thing-XVERB

This was a LOT better than your first try, I was considering it in the top 3.
Bronze Medal
Kyouzou and Graham
Death is inevitable
Eternal Sleep
A part of life
Til the end of time
Heavenly abodes await-Kyouzou

Death just feeds da liiiiiving.
eating it plain is no funnnn.
attach the limbs, *raise voice* look alive!
ta. ta. ta. ta. *sounding off to metronome*
*gasp* hey, they need sommore salt!-Graham

These 2 were very original, they stood out.
Silver Medal
EnterOrion[i]
Destruction of our human race
Electric pulses tear us down
Atomic bombs shall destroy us all
Time is at an end
Hell is the final resting place-EnterOrion

Very intelligent, however the last line is not exactly, true, not EVERYONE goes to hell xD
GOLD MEDAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UNlimitedpower
Dying is not a particular accomplishment I wish to acheive.
Especially when people obssesed with death are my pet peeve.
And if I was to die today.
Then I should really get off now to go pray.
Halleluja and all that stuff, I hope that was I good enough!
You obviously put a lot of time into to this.
Sorry if it was bad, it was my first time judging/

I don't get it: you say I won, but that's not my entry. Did I win?

Ok, if I did, I will let the theme be 'hockey' then.
