Well since the anagrams contest we see Japan in the lead with 30 points, Germany just behind on 25 and CZ not too far behind at 10 points. Every other country is yet to score but the Olympics are young!

Anyways this is the next contest!

Epic Poetry!

What is involved?

I will supply 3 random topics and olympians can choose to write a poem on one, two or even all three of them.

What is the closing date?

[Mandalorian]

[MyNameDidntFit]

Aww hell.

I'm doing poetry at school and now it invades my forum life as well?! ARGH!

Oh well, I might give it a shot... Maybe...

[Junk Angel]

Soaring high beyond the stars
a spotted giraffe neck a stair
it's cold up here, there's no air
and somewhere beyond, the red mars

I feel lost and alone, with no spotlight
sometimes crying out in frigth
but unknown, there's an Azure sky
deep down in the deepest imaginable bligh

[Junk Angel]

So they once told me t'was a neck in the skies
oh it was meant to prance and dance
a heavenly choir of flies
and trees, well they had no chance

The yellow terrible body it had
was something bordering madness with a laugh
but hey, it was but a goofy giraffe
there's just no way I could have been sane or mad


this on should be clear.

the other one, let's say Azure

and space

It was in a year long past
that our forefathers in scores massed
they were to fly for ages
only to see sun's cages

We stand here now
unable to move
locked in sight sound and a vow
we're not so stupid as them, we'd never approve

[Rain]

Contest deadline pushed back to Friday 4th

[darthnotrevan]

A journey into space,
just the stars and planets around me,
of civilization there is no trace,
I have no idea how much more silence there is to be.

Free from worries,
no limitations other than time,
I see the stars pass by in flurries,
and for those who desire to see space I dedicate this rhyme.

[Mandalorian]

Space

The dark velvet of space wraps around me
its smooth coolness embraces me
tendrils of darkness caressing my body
fingers of dark sooth my muscles

Bright points of light shine out like a million gems
there glorious brilliance surpassed only by one thing
a blue green ball floating in the darkness, with beauty unmatched
Space oh how I love you're embrace, but Earth beckons for me again.

----------------------------------------------------------
AzureX

I sit at my computer bored beyond belief
tapping my fingers on the wooden desk
until though shoots through my mind
"What about AzureX!"

and so in a blinding flash I go to my bookmarks
and click on the link
and in a second the page is there in all its glory
No more boredom for me!

---------------------------------------------------
A Giraffe

A long necked giraffe sits in the field
munching happily on some leaves
its neck arches up and it grabs yet another bite
oh long necked giraffe how peaceful you are

the long necked giraffe is so peaceful
its brilliant yellow body, marked with deep brown spots.
Oh giraffe how I wish I could be like you relaxing all day
Oh long necked giraffe you don't know how lucky you are, in you're peaceful bliss

[Abby]

To some, an unknown world,
In which there is no return,
No matter the obstacles we hurled,
Just to get there.

A calling to adventure,
A calling to the unknown,
Because we all gotta be sure,
That we’ll make it out again.

--

Azure-X Spotlight
The pinnacle of awesome,
Spreading across the ‘net like a blight,
You’d be an idiot not to click that sign that says Register.

Just another day at AXS,
But even the newest members should know:
Our nickname is AX.
*cackles*
