Subject Poetry Contest.

[YesNo]

Time is up.

Dark Muse: I liked the idea of releasing happiness so it doesn't suffocate.

prendrelemick: The list with an end is something that would give me happiness. My list of things to do just grows at the moment. Nice meter and rhyme.

Pendragon: That sounds like good advice especially about knowing when it doesn't matter.

2X2E5: That was an unusual description of bringing home something momma wants that she probably shouldn't.

cacian: I liked the second to the last line "I need you not". This sounds like the celebration of happiness after a breakup.

Thank you for all the entries. They were all very different and enjoyable.

The winner is 2X2E5.

My crooked teeth
Above beneath
My opened mouth
Both north and south
Or east and west
When getting rest
Don't make me whine.
I chew just fine.

The few that hang
Slant like a fang
Some broke in two
Stuck in with glue
And oh' the stench
Makes me tummy wrench
They poke my cheek
MY MOUTH HAS A LEAK!

[2X2E5]

Time is up!

YesNo: First time I read it I enjoyed it very much, reading it a fourth and fifth time I still admire and found the north/south/east/west original and funny.

colb2: I'm a sucker for rhyming schemes, so I enjoyed the song like feel and the humour of the poem, with a raw touch "stuck in with glue.

Thank you both for your submissions! I enjoyed them both.

The winner of this challenge is...colb2! Congratulations!

Deadline is 6/03

[Dark Muse]

Arachne

I am spellbound
by her savage beauty,
and I am rendered helpless
while she sews me up,
pieces of me woven
into her thread,
deep down I know
all I want is to become
closer to her,
but soon I begin to realize
I cannot move,
and my breath
is cut short,
the pain is searing
through me,
but I just thought
she looked so alone,
so in need
of a little companionship,
but she'll not be content
until she has drank
the last drop
of my soul.

Little Miss Muffet
Decided to rough it,
Invited a spider to play.
The spider sent Crawler
A creep who would haul her,
Haul our Miss Muffet away.

Snakes, and snails, and scorpions
Spiders, centipedes, and worms
Crawling across the open grave
All giving me the squirms!
Get me a pack of rat poison
(Damn right! They are here as well!)
Maybe a shot of flaming gasoline
Would send them back to hell!

[colb2]

The contest will close in one week

[Pendragon]

Actually, this one is me. My account had problems, long story. Oddball no loner exists, it was just me, Pendragon, trying to figure out what I did with my password....

Snakes, and snails, and scorpions
Spiders, centipedes, and worms
Crawling across the open grave
All giving me the squirms!
Get me a pack of rat poison
(Damn right! They are here as well!)
Maybe a shot of flaming gasoline
Would send them back to hell!

Creepy Crawlers

Beware the creepiest crawlers of all
spidering through our personal space
harvesting email addresses for spam
indexing our downloads, stalking our steps
crawling through websites a page at a time

Spiders, Web Crawlers, and Bots by name
grinning and spinning their elaborate webs
toss the Raid, "killer apps", and traps
though through a Firewall they cannot pass
Web Crawlers then shall feel the burn

[colb2]

Great poems everyone but unfortunately one winner.. Melanie, the throne is yours!
