damn exams.

Oh, I thought it said 12th... not 12th to 16th... man I am tired.

Well, here is mine:

(it is as much about death as it is the metaphor)

Wakeful

with a barrel
between your teeth
death is the hostage
and you are the negotiator
of breath or release

everything moulds
without sleep

Thank god I decided to check this today! :) Two more days to post a poem. YAYNESS! AND I'M ON THE LIST! I WIN! YESSSSSSSSS!!!

Anyways, here's my poem:

Afraid of the Dark
------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------
----------------------
When the darkness of death encroaches on our minds
This, of everything, we fear the most, but because we do not know
We fear this, but because knowledge of which we are deprived
Many fear this more than anything, this ending, final blow

So, then, how can one not wonder what this darkness holds
How can one not ask, “What do we fear?”
What can one do but wonder what an answer might unfold
So then, maybe I’ll find out what it truly is we fear
------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------
-----------------------

And this is probably where I'm gonna lose (maybe I need to work on my self-confidence when it comes to my poetry). Oh, well, GOOD LUCK TO ANY AND ALL COMPETITORS AND LET THE BIGGEST EMO WIN!!!
... uh... I meant poet... best poet win goddamnit!

I had too much sugar... WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
!!!

ME ENTER! ME ENTER!

Do you wanna know how Johnny died?
Johnny committed suicide
Too bad they'll never know why
'Cuz Johnny had no friends when he was alive
Let's give Johnny's corpse a big high five
Solely because I LIKE PIE!

AUTOMATIC WIN!!!

:lol

Well I think could give it a try :), OK:

The Whole Mess

Mess is that what this is all about,
Mess is the thing, you should know,
Mess is my life, or I'm dead?,
Dead, that thng I always dread,
Dead for this mess of ignorance and hopes,
That hopes that never turned down alone,
Just for desperation that tooked them off,
But what I'm saying? that is not fair,
With my life and brethren, and everthing else!
Better than hating, crying and make more mess,
Better calm down, playing some chess,
Mess now is nothing, loving my life,
Mess dissapeared having light,
Light of love, light of will,
Messing the life isn't a good thing,
So never ever conclude your life,
Never stop, always be wise.

NOTE: Please be mercyful I am not an english speaker, I swear it.

Well, here is mine. Do not expect much of this, I don't have enough inspiration.

Always walking the same path
No sign, no sound, not even a breath
A job to take a life from another
He doesn't have a soul, so he won't bother

A foolish girl lying on the ground,
No clue can't ever be found
This has always be her fate
He has taken her life, it is to late

As said, one day left.

Keep them coming.

does anyone even follow the rules these days?

Damn you 7days, 6 hours ban!

Ok, last day... only a few more hours left.

Oddly enough all the judges have run into some real life ... challenges. We'll get the results up as soon as possible, just please be patient with us and get your stuff in as soon as possible. If you need to submit something and are unable to post for what ever reason, contact me via aim. You may not be able to get in touch with Andersson.

Your such a badass,
I love you

Ditto, I'm curious as to how many shall pass.

As are we all... time is nearing... time for me to get back to studying for finals... this is probably the final bump that I will make... I suppose I will make a closing post when I wake up in the morning. If you havn't submitted by then, you are too late...

Also, I'd like to say that two of the three, I and NC_Sweez, judges have finals through tuesday. Andersson is having internet connection problems. We can not guarantee a post before wednsday regarding the out come of this competition. Please be patient. I promise we won't have forgotten this.

Woo Hoo~

The finish line is in sight!

wigger power!

Almost over... if I'm to give people in california the entire day... I'm off to bed though

DeathTuna will fill Andersson's place for this round of judging. Good luck to all.

Finally it's over. No more entries people. We now have to wait for the decision.

P.S. Good luck to everyone who entered

Who are you?

But yes, this thread is now officially closed for entries. If you havn't submitted, I'm sorry, but times up. If you were banned, you could have e-mailed andersson or such... anyway.

At the latest results will be up on Thursday, they might be up sooner, but no promises. Thanks for the good reading once again and good luck to all those who proceed.

I was just telling everyone because no one had posted anything about it.

I solved the problems I had with internet access so I will be able to judge again.

However, I do want those judges (You brought into the competition to cover up with) to judge in the following rounds aswell. =)

and now te judging begins..

mind you, may i ask how many people are going onto the next round?

Wow, I didn't know I had gotten in, I never saw this thread. Is it still okay for me to post a poem?

Lets see. NO. it closed on the 16th

I wish it were, but unfortunatly we can't let people move on. We said no last time, we have to say no this time. On our defense we did leave a link in the other thread which could have been checked.

So, when exactly do we find out who goes on to the next round?

Being on Christmas holidays, I won't be on Ng quite as often, so, some heads up as to what day I should check back would be great. thanks.

I'm looking at the poetry tommorow night, I got hit by finals. So I'd expect by thursday to have the results up.

Yeah, I figured it was worth a shot. No problem.

Okay thanks. I will check back then. Please post the link to the newpage in this thread again. Just incase I cant find the new thread... just incase. = )

I have made my decision, so I'd expect the other judges will be turning in shortly as well. Thanks once again to all those who participated. We are narrowing it down to ten this round, and three the next.

So there's two more rounds then?

Woot.

Thats the way its looking. The final one will be between three people... or we may just pick the winners out of the next round. It will depend

Awesome.

I am curious as to see what type of writing the judges lean towards. = )
