Should old acquaintance be forgot?
Deadline: Monday, December 31st
should old acquaintance be forgot
lest you be aware of odds
the loose
the less
the tattered worse?
should you turn a back
on thus
leaving marks of shattered lust
Knowing what could make it plush
without it you are never trust.
Should Old Man Candace be a sot
And ever drink the wine
Should Old Ma Candace take a shot
And blister his behind!
Pendragon
Way overdue for judging...
Very true. Will PM YesNo.Quote:

They deserved what they got.
Don't look back! You could fall!
You don't care? Not at all?
Must they all come along
Even those who've done wrong?
So, that's why they all rose when you fell.
When you dump out the garbage tonight my dear
Please be careful not to spill any on the sidewalk
It reeks to high heaven
It draws flies and vermin
It detracts from the beauty of our property
It pisses the neighbors off
All's hell when the trash smells...
Pendragon
maybe a couple more what say you? anyone? :p
A Dispute
My dear
did you not hear
what they say?
It has been told
that all is well that ends well
so what do you say?
Come now and give me a kiss,
now don't purse your lips
just in that way.
You see if you just play nice,
we can still make it right,
there is no reason to put up a fight.
My fate rests within your hands,
now, now, don't try and accuse,
I only want to amuse.
If you would only consent
to but this all behind,
how well the night could end
and someday you know,
we will just laugh this all away.
Not even a smile?
but you really insist
and still resist.
Well I must contend
that for me this is turning
out to indeed be
a very unfortunate end.
OK this was a very difficult choice to make. Thank you all for your entries.
The winner for this round is YesNo. I enjoyed the flow and the words. I liked the contrast of heaven and hell. It made smile haha.
Thanks, cacian!
The next prompt for the comedy-satire-pun contest is
My love is like a red red rose
I set my calender for February 14th, Valentine's Day, as a deadline. Here is the full poem by Robert Burns: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Red,_Red_Rose
My love is like a red red rose
And it glows softly like Rudolph's nose
My eyes glisten with expectant desire
My need for you burns like hellfire
Your scent is strong it fills the air
I'm looking now, I know you're near
Golden Arches! Love's climax!
Coke and fries with two Big Macs!
Pendragon
Only a week until Valentine's day! That is also the day this contest ends.
The winner is Pendragon!
I liked the part about one's need burning like hellfire.
congratulations Pendragon!!
Thank you, thank you very much!
OK this line is next, from a song by Bing Crosby:
"When the blue of the night meets the gold of the day"
Good Luck. March 7 is the deadline.
When the dew of the night
Meets the cold of the day,
When what's new brings delight
Till its sold on the way,
When the crew says they might
Then they fold, let us pray
That the blue will not fight
With the gold when they play.
This deadline is March 7th? Is it over or has it been extended?
I'll give it a go if it's still active.
No judgment yet, so go for it. Wouldn't be much of a contest with just the one entry anyway.
When the blue of the night
meets the gold of the day"
the skies go hype
wondering if it slight
redders or brights
but then sun comes out
and the tan blows right
and everywhere is light
in a colour of height
shimmering white
When the blue of the night
meets the gold of the day
it's Claude Debussy's Reverie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRjll...endscreen&NR=1
But when the shrew of the night
tweets the troll of the day
it's Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture

Awesome Orchestra in Hong Kong and is the most amazing fireworks display.
Be sure to turn up your volume.
And we have a winner! MELANIE!
Melanie well done congratulations!!
Oh thank you! You're very kind. I had to check the first post to see what I'm suppose to do next...i'm that green at this.
I had a little fun with this poem (oh dear, i typed "porn" instead of poem by mistake...eek...glad i caught it)
Okay, let me find a line to post and I'll be back
Thank you again.
You may incorporate into your poem, one or more of these sentences.
It's my signature at the bottom of all my posts:
"Live in the sunshine. Swim in the sea. Drink the wild air."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Swimming, swimming in the sea
With the sharks surrounding me
Waiting for them to attack
Turning me into a snack.
Live in the sunshine, but fear the eclipse
Swim in the sea, but try to avoid the ships
Drink the wild air, it's like Aquae vitae
Write your lines in poetry when there's nothing left to say
Sunshine soon gives way to dark clouds and rain
It really hard to swim when you go against the grain
Wild air invigorates you but only for a time
Poetry is eternal, so say everything in rhyme
In darkness now I await the return of sunshine
Diving in again to swim, the water feels divine
Face lifted to the clouds I inhale the Wild Air
But there's nothing like poetry when my muse is here

The deadline is April 17 for this Comedy/Satire/Pun Poem Contest.
Remember that the line for you to use or bounce off of is the same as my signature line: "Live in the sunshine. Swim in the sea. Drink the wild air."
Use all are part of the quote. Make it funny or punny or a satire or all three. Just have fun!
Congratulations Pendragon!!..."hard to swim when you go against the grain"...isn't that the truth.
And I love to learn something...had to look up "aqua vitae". Turns out it was a perfect pun for "drinking in the wild air". How did you know that? :smilewinkgrin:
Thank you Melanie! And yes, I did know about the "aqua vitae" pun!
Let's see here:Try this line, satire, pun, or just plain funny: "It was the best of times, It was the worst of times"
(pun but not comedy/satire)
it was the best of mankind.
heroes
police
medics
volunteers
passersby
givers
it was the worst of crimes.
Boston
Marathon
bombings
It was the best of times for Mindcliff where
The monsters cornered those who'd care,
So no one did. Let's party on
Before the best of times are gone
Before we sober up to face
The worst of times. They will replace
The best those monsters could provide.
Now even monsters want to hide.
Investigators tried to call,
But it's too late. They've blown it all.
At Mindcliff it is time to cry.
The story poisons like a lie,
But gives out deep, dark dreams in bed.
Tomorrow, true, they'll all are dead.
Anyone else, or should I decide between these two? Help me out here, guys and gals! :idea::idea:
it was the best of times
it was the worst of time
but all along
the ways
the days
the morning
hase
the evenings were at bays
to wave to time to laze
over a moment
wait
for you and I to
bathe over a thought of
us walking through life untouched
it was the best of times
it was the worst of times
but not a minute
went
without a smile
a date
and
not an instant haste
spend lately or at waste
to slow us down and faith
OK
Yesno: The final two lines are classic!
Cican: My favorite lines:
for you and I to
bathe over a thought of
us walking through life untouched
Melanie: It was the best of times...It was the worst of crimes
Excellent!
The winner: Take a bow, Melanie! You're up!
Oh wow, I didn't notice this until now. Thank you!
I'll get back to you post-haste...I apologize for the
delay....
